1933 ALPHA BARBARA TUCKER HORTON 2280 Washington Street, Canton. Sec.-Treas. of Normal Hall 3. Library Club 2, 3, 4. Hockey 2, 3, 4. Bowling 3. Dormitory Council 3. She broke no promise, serv ' d no private end, She gained no title and lost no friend. Though quiet and unassuming, Barbara has many valuable suggestions and ideas. Composition is her forte. To read her stories and feature articles is to appreciate what well- written news means. Her reticence of manner is somewhat deceiving, for who is there any more willing to enter into a good time? ELAINE GOODRICH HOWE Bolton. Library Club 4. W. A. A. 3, 4. Gladness of heart is the life of man, and joyful- ness prolongeth our days. Elaine epitomizes the expression, good sport , character- ized by her everlasting good nature, her notorious giggle, and her uh uh which strangely enough expresses the most intense interest. Two troubles haunt her constantly — she has brown eyes, and she can never look sophisticated. VIRGINIA STEWART HOWLAND W. A. A. 2, 3. 1239 Warren Avenue, Brockton. Hockey 1. Scouts 2. Each day she ' s done some new good turn, Some one to help, not praise to earn. Smilingly helpful best describes Virginia to those of us who have needed aid. In both work and play her effervescent humor and cheerfulness are evident. Would that we all had her calm assurance and her optimism when confronted with a hard problem! Because of her scientific inclination, she has saved many a geography class from embarrassment. 26

CLASSES MARJORIE VIOLET HARRINGTON 119 Washington Street, Stoughton. Garden Club 2, 3, 4. Library Club 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Topics of the Day Club 4. To be sincere. To look life in the face, With calm, undrooping eyes. Marjorie has that faculty we all admire of accomplishing miracles at short notice. Big business executives have noth- ing on Marjorie when she gets going. It would be hard to find a keener mind and a more likable personality in one girl. HILDA HELEN HEIKKILA Centre Street, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Bowling 4. Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Day Student Coun- cil 1, 2, 4. Poster Committee 4. In solitude, where she is least alone. Do you like to see things done quietly and beautifully? Watch Hilda. Do you like to watch a musician play a violin as though she loved it? Again — watch Hilda. Are you an epicurean soul? If so, consult Hilda some summer in Marsh- field when she is spending her vacation there. We promise you — you won ' t be disappointed. LOUISE VIRGINIA HEWITT Centre Street, Pembroke. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Swimming 1. Basketball 1, 2. Hockey 1. Base- ball. Bowling 2, 3,4. French Club 1, 2. Drama- tic Club 2, 3, 4, President 4. Secretary of class 4. Thou hast so much wit, and mirth, and spleen about thee, That there ' s no living with thee, or without thee. Don ' t you enjoy people who are essentially themselves? Squeaks is, — especially in the case of a laugh. In fact the only times she changes are when we see her as an imitator of George Arliss in our own Dramatic Club productions. One of her strongest points is her ardent home-town boosting. Have you ever listened to her soap box orations ? 25

CLASSES BEATRICE ALICE HUNT 6 Water Street Ext., Plymouth. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. Student Council 1, 2, 3. Class Rep., 1, 2, 3. Day Student Council 1, 2, 3, Vice-Pres. 3. W. A. A. 1, 2. Social Activities Comm. 3, Sec. 3. Topics of the Day Club 3, 4. President 4. Normal Offering Asst. Editor 3. Editor in Chief 4. The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. To know Bea is to admire her versatility, her charm of manner, and her efficiency. Foremost in every endeavor she undertakes, and brimming over with enthusiasm for work and play alike, Bea has found the fullest participation and en- joyment in all activities here at college. MARION IRENE KEITH 460 Plymouth Street, East Bridgewater. W.A.A. 4. Hobby Club 4. Day Student Council 3, 4. With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course. Optimistic? Marion makes a specialty of looking for something different , each time expecting something better without acquiring the jaded weariness of the sophisticate. Speculative brown eyes provide ample substitution for jig- saw puzzles — both take time to figure out. CATHERINE AGNES KELLY 3 Newbury St., Roslindale. The quiet mind is richer than a crown. Catherine ' s short stay at Bridgewater has made us truly believe that she has accepted Carlyle ' s admonition that thought will not work except in silence. As a well-balanced individual, she is willing at all times to share her serious moments; as a keen appreciator of wit and humor, she invites that particular contagion which we all like to feel at times. 27
