CARlLYN CHAPIN BELL 1 Normal Street, Worcester. Kindergarten Primary Club 1, 2, 4. Carilyn has more depth than her gay sur- face reveals. Because of her constant knitting, she has earned the nickname Madame Defarge . Her easy, carefree manner and her attractive clothes make her a well-known figure on the campus. X 1 VERNE ELWOOD BODWELL 37 Covington Street, Bridgewater. Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. Perhaps the greatest recommendation of Verne's personality is that he could get up in the middle of the nightffwell at 6:30 A.M. anyhowfto go on bird walks, and still be a part of the hectic life that goes on the rest of the day. ELLA M. BONYMAN 79 Stedman Street, Quincy. Glee Club 4. Although Ella has been with us only a year her lovable smile is known to us all. Her sunny personality has won her many friends. We admire her for her versatility in art and music. Her snappy conversation has Iivened our commuting days. EDWARD ROBERT BOWLES 287 Reed Street, Rockland. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 45 Coach 3, 43 Captain 43 Basketball 3, 43 Soccer 2, 3. He has perhaps the happiest smile it is our luck to see about. The perennial sophomore- one of the first really natural athletes Bridge- water has ever had. 24 ALPHA

01937 NIADELI NE ELIZABETH BARTELL 19 Day Street, Norwood. Student Council 3, 4: Camera Club 3, 4: German Club 2: Girl Scouts 1: Chairman of Bulletin Board Com- mittee 3, 4: Archery 3. Modern art is the keynote to Madeline's whole series of interests f-color, the theatre, peasant workmanship, Vincent Van Gogh: she appreciates them all. For recreation, she really prefers walking in the rain, canoe- ing, or archery. And would you know that which Madeline avoids at all times? Of course it's Victorianism: ----- and politics! MARY FRANCES BARTLEY Sandwich. Chairman Social Activities Com- mittee 4: Treasurer of Class 1, 2, 3: Student Council 4: 1st Vice-President Student Cooper- ative Association 4: Orchestra 1, 2, 3, Assistant Student Director 3: Glee Club 2, 3. Between solemn resolutions to study hard Mary does more pleasant things, such as re- viving the ancient art of conversation, es- pecially dialogue. Her eyes express what she does not speak. Small wonder the merrie lassie is so popular with one of the lads! NELLlE GRACE BEATON 80 Lakewood Road, South Weymouth. Class Representative 1 and 2: Class Secretary 1, 2, 3: President of Day Student Council 4: Campus Comment, Reporterl, Assistant News Editor 2, News Editor 3, Feature Editor 4: Alpha Board 4: Camera Club 3, 4: Hobby Club 3: Civics Committee 4: Dramatic Club 4: Inter-Club Council 4: Student Council 1, 2, 4: Tennis 1: Hockey 1, 2, 3: Basket-ball 4. Nellie provides us with an example of the magnetic personality. From the first day at Bridgewater she has been an outstanding member of our class. A zealous student, a charming conversationalist, a capable or- ganizer, she is one ofthe backbones ofthe class. THELMA HOWARD BECK 40 Dudley Street, New Bedford. Scouts 1: Dormitory Council 3, 4: Secretary Pro-tem 4: Woodward Dormitory, Head Proctor 3, Vice-President 4: Bowling 3, 4. lt's the seaman's life for Thelma, for how enthusiastic she grows as she thinks of sailing and boats, and moonlight on the water! Paradoxically enough, she loves to sleep, too, and we hear she teaches a history lesson which sends the would-be experts scurrying to the shelter of the text-books. Even her dislikes are widely scattered, including chop suey, guns, and sewing. 23 .gf ,z f -if ff 1 X f f , , .PH ,A i

01937 RICHARD EDWARD BRADFORD Winthrop Street, Kingston. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Science 2, 3, 45 Topics of the Day Club. Brad has the disconcerting faculty of appear- ing monstrously humorous, while predicting perfectly amazing profits, academic and other- wise. The colonel is an army feller, being particularly skilled in recounting and adding to the legend of that august body. Most fellows would have been lost forever to their mates. His roaring manner might affright you, but he's really gentle as a kitten, except perhaps on the basketball floor. Unaffected and especially efficient along scientific lines, he is also a sure cure for the blues. JOHN T. BRODERICK M. S., Boston College. 24 Beech Street, East Walpole. John comes to us from Boston College where he has already received his Master's Degree. He is primarily interested in Science, which we readily guessed from seeing him so fre- quently in the lab here. Capable-reliablew independentewe know he'Il be a success. FRANCES ISABEL BROUGH 34 Adams Street, Fall River. Cap and Gown Committee 4, Chairman 43 Day Student Council 1, 4: Topics of the Day 4: Hobby Club 13 Newman Club 45 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Soccer 1, 2, 33 Hockey 1, 2, 3. Frannie can, and often does, supply the miss- ing facts of the choicest stories. She gets around and learns things with an enviably unfailing promptness and energy. Her devil- may-care attitude cannot hide her generosity, willingness and ability to work hard, with or for others. AVIS ARLENE BROWN Congress Street, Amesbury. Camera Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Campus Comment News Editor 45 Dormitory Council 4: Secretary Woodward Dormitory 45 Golf 3, 4: Bowling 3. Art is Avis' stronghold, and design her specialty. Her Saturdaytrips to art school have shown the sincerity of this enthusiasm and made many of our would-be artists gaze at her with awe. She has also an interest in horseback riding, golf, dramatic novels and photography. Imperturbable yet retiringf even to the point of shynessfAvis is a paradox. 25 hawcw -' -V. -S, - l5,'2.
