Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Choir 2, 3, 4. Orchestra 3, 4, Librarian 4. Forever piping songs forever new. Even though changeable people may be interesting, unchangeable people are more comfortable. Reliabil- ity seems to be one of Doris ' most endearing qualities. Her unceasing interest in all forms of music, her love for symphonies, concerts, and clarinets are unbounded. PRISCILLA HOWLAND COLEMAN 30 Hussey Street, Nantucket. Glee Club 3, 4. Choir 4. Dormitory Council 3. House Board 3. Alpha 4. W. A. A. 4. Comrade of the ocean, playmate of the hills. Her sea-walled island seems to have contributed great and lovely qualities to Priscilla, for although she is small, she commands attention by her dignity, which we style one of her greatest assets. Gentlemen, at last here is a girl who speaks only if she has something to say. HELEN MARY CONNELL Hersey Street, Hingham. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Bowl- ing 1. Hobby Club 4. Scouts 1, 2, 3, 4. Eyes too expressive to be blue Too lovely to be gray. Needing only the slightest provocation to absent herself from the atmosphere of study and contempla- tion, Helen is always eager to obey her frequent im- pulses to relax. Moreover, she has the faculty of unit- ing the serious with the gay. For, gifted with a fine perception of truth, Helen is most capable of imparting opinions well worth hearing. 18

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.

Basketball 1, 2, 4. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Danc- ing 4. To those who know thee not, no words can paint! And those who know thee, know all words are faint! Why is Harriet ' s room always crowded? 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.

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

CLASSES MARY ELIZABETH CROWLEY 51 Ninth Avenue, Haverhill. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 3, 4. Garden Club 1, 2, 3. Vice President 3, Topics of the Day 3, 4. Hockey 1,2, 3. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Dancing 2, 3, 4. With thy clear keen joyance Languor cannot be. Here ' s to Mary, possessor of a spontaneous and de- lightful wit which gives some hint of her inherent cleverness. When Mary ' s pensive, she possesses an elusive quality that is a diverting contrast to her gaiety. MARY ANGELA CULLEN 55 Prospect Street, Fall River. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Soccer 1, 2. Baseball 1, 2. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Volley- balM,2,3. Hockey1,2,3. Library Club 1, 2, 3. Alpha Class Editor 4. Alpha Literary Editor 4. True to her work, her word, and her friends. Mary and kindness are utterly inseparable. She shares her lunch, her ability, or happiness impartially. And it ' s fortunate that Mary needs so little time for study for she demands a great deal for fun. GRACE CURLEY 83 North Central Street, East Bridgewater. Topics of the Day 3. Alpha Class Editor 1, 2, Literary Editor 3, Editor-in-chief 4. As what she seemed to be, she was, Alike to all, herself, sincere and true. When Grace realizes her ambition to write a book, we hope it won ' t be on the modern novel or Victorian poetry which she delves into with equal enthusiasm, but on correct etiquette for college students which she has so unknowingly imparted to us. 19
