1934 ALPHA PHYLLIS E. BLISS 4 Swindells Street, Fall River. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2. Baseball 1. Tennis 1. Soccer 2. Volleyball 2. Hockey 1. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Librarian 2. Choir 3. With her glad golden hair As airy and blithe as a blithe bird in air. One of three from the first, the Porthos of the group, Phyllis has inevitably been identified with good time and jollity. She looks the part. But then the smile fades and Phyllis is trying hard to be studious. She succeeds wonderfully but we are always happy when the assignments are finished and she can be natural. MILDRED CATHERINE BOUCHER 36 Vaillencourt Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. French Club 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 4. Sometimes quiet is an unquiet thing. We hate to accuse Mildred of being miserly but we suspect a hoard of wit hidden under a quiet exterior. Do you know why? She reveals it to a few friends who retail it to us and thus we are amused without knowing the source. MILDRED KATHRYN BOWMAN 82 South Main Street, Middleboro. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Day Student Council 3. Library Club 4. A little bit of seriousness Mixed with a dash of fun. Mildred ' s idea of a throne is a desk chair in the lib- rary, and of heaven a request from a timid student. On the throne she feeds her love of books and work, and in heaven her desire to be of service. 16

CLASSES ETHEL MAY BEEDE 41 Cawdrey Avenue, East Lynn. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Girl Scouts 1, 2. Topics of the Day 3. Vice President of Gates House 3. Dormitory Council 3. Social Ac- tivities Committee 3. Garden Club 3, 4. Science Club 4. Words, phrases, fashions pass away, But truth and nature live through all. Shhhh--- Beede Bumps is sleeping (and I ' ll wager she ' s dreaming of math or bugs )! Never mind, Ethel, when you ' re awake, your sincerity and unusual sense of humor attract and hold us. May all your dreams materialize! EVA CECELIA BERNIER 143 Bridge Street, North Weymouth. Orchestra 2, 3, 4. It was you cast over me the spell of music. Eva plays and Eva sings and is ever ready for fun. But we have also observed a well-worn brief case which bears mute evidence of a different Eva. SYLVIA ANN BIANCHI 220 Liberty Street, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. French Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Librarian 2. Basketball 3. Soccer 1. Baseball 1. Dancing 3. Tennis 1. She lives on the sunny side and she would have all of us come over there with her. A laugh, a song, a twinkling eye, a flash of red, all make up that dynamic personality—Sylvia. Bracelets and earrings, gay handkerchiefs and chic hand bags speak of Sylvia ' s vivid self. 15

Social Activities Committee 4. Girl Scouts 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice President 2, 3, President 4. A friend she is who sets her heart upon us, Is happy with us and delights in us. Olive is the unusual person who lives her beliefs. Her devotion to scouting and her exemplification of its laws have been evidenced not only by her splendid work in that field but also in whatever she has under- taken in a social or academic way.

Because Hat can play ball with her athletic friends, enthuse with her artistic friends, dance with her social friends, and be happy with them all.

Class Representative 4. W. A. A. 4. Student Council 4. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; Her candle goeth not out by night. A leader with high ideals, intelligent application to tasks, and persistance in the pursuit of well-considered objectives, Madeline ' s interests and abilities are many and varied, extending to languages, music, literature, dramatics, history, and art. Her dignity, envied by all, reflects her strength of character. 17
