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

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

1933 ALPHA MARIE ELIZABETH KELLY A. B., Emanuel College 3 Newbury Street, Roslindale. Persuasion tips her tongue whene ' er she talks. Would you be revolutionized in all your pet prejudices? Then pause in your travel to hear those arguments as she summons them into battle array; follow her as she builds up ramparts about them out of the material which a life of historical reading offers. She will not be carried along by the common current, but will courageously take her place as a lover of wisdom and a defender of truth. STELLA HELENA KRUPKA 7 Fitch Terrace, Randolph. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Tennis 3, Track 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 4. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Hobby Club 3, 4, Sec. 3, Pres. 4. Day Stu- dent Council 4. ' Tis thy dream to make the rainbow sing, To make a stone leap to the sky. Found! The secret of success! — What? Love of people, a sunny disposition, and varied interests. — In whom? Stella — Where? On any team in sports, in the art rooms, or at the most congenial spot in the commuters ' room. — When? Any- time . . Continuous office hours to remedy all ailments. GERTRUDE LOUISE LAIRD West Barnstable. Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4, Editor 3, 4. Normal Offering 2. French Club 1, 2. W. A. A. 1, 2. With irony in look Poetry peeps into my heart. Words are indeed only the skin of thought when de- scribing Gertrude. They seem such futile weapons with which to pierce that coat of reserve that so sheathes the friendliness and sincerity beneath it. Her common sense bears fruit in the capable management of Campus Comment. But her uncommon sense — ah! therein lie her fascination and subtlety. 28
