ELIZABETH BRINE Newman Club, Hobby Club, Women ' s Athletic Association Betty, the short member of the Brine-Hill combination, has lovely dark-blonde hair and eyes that crinkle when she talks or laughs. An infectious smile breaking into a contagious giggle is an indication of her jolly personality. Brisk in action and abrupt in speech — she is keen and spirited. Familiar to the geog and math classes is her long drawn-out w-e-l-l as she frantically formulates the answer to an unexpected question. Witty comments and snappy comebacks provide mutual enjoyment for Betty and the South Door Gang. J. RAYMOND BURNETT Campus Comment, Topics of the Day Club, Men ' s Club Ray is Bridgewater ' s representative in the service who trots into the navy yard every Wednesday night. For four years he has been noted for his Crysto-mints and cuts , amassing an all time high in the total of each. His actions fail to hide his ability, though, for a special report or a recitation will reveal an analytical mind and a twelve cylinder vocabulary. Flipdo ' s car and shirts add to the color of our class. HELEN CAMPBELL Class Representative, W. A. A. Completely self-assured, Helen knows what ' s what and as the Dorothy Dix of the class, what to do about it. Keen and penetrating, she uses her wit both for amusement and as a weapon. Helen has definite opinions and expresses them pungently, punctuating her remarks with little emphatic gestures. Always late for class, she is nevertheless usually on time when it comes to chauffeuring her many and willing passengers. The little Dutch Maid ' s accounts of life at Falmouth make it an exciting place. JUDITH CARLSON Literary Editor of Alpha, Library Club, Topics of the Day Club Tall, capable and Swedish, Judy is ready to argue dogmatically and intelligently on any and every subject, any and every hour. It is then that one gets a glimpse of her vast store of information ac- quired from many a library shelf and current magazine. She lends her talent to the production of a better Alpha and a more interesting Campus Comment. This out-of-the-ordinary girl relaxes in just as different a way showing moments of being a Russian ballerina, a Jenny Lind or just a plain paradox. LA V ( ' ■ Page twenty-one '

ELITO BONGARZONE Sports Editor of Campus Comment, Dramatic Club, Glee Club A born actor who stole the show our freshman year with a superb rendition of Shylock in Miss Moffitt ' s final production The Merchant of Venice, Bongy has kept up his acting from play to play and year to year. He showed us ability on the soccer field and in the school paper. The bi-weekly bits of whimsicality known as Odds and Ends have been widely read and universally enjoyed. GERTRUDE BOYD Kindergarten-Primary Club, Newman club, Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. Happy-go-lucky in the face of the most dire calamities — even car troubles, Gert has a smile for everyone. A grand sport, she is ready at a moment ' s notice to fall in with the latest plans. Tall, erect, and determined, she is nevertheless open to suggestion and a popular member of the crowd of which she has been a four-year member. DOROTHY BOYLE W. A. A. Representative, Topics of the Day Club, Garden Club The active, sportsminded girl and serious student are concealed behind a face which is distinctly exotic. On the basketball court and ice rink we admire her ability, in classes we depend on her solu- tion to the problem which had us all puzzled. A chosen few pene- trate the veneer of reserve to a Dot whose fine sense of loyalty is ac- companied by her ability to have fun. Her weaknesses are the newest styled sport shoes and telling secrets in her sleep. yfe . sleep. MEREDITH BRAGG Lecture Fund Committee, Secretary of German Club, Topics of the Day Whether making arrangements for the next lecture fund speaker, taking notes for German Club, catching up on the sociology assign- ments, or going through the torture of History activities, Meredith is constantly on the go. With business-like efficiency she hurries from one class to the next where she takes rapid, copious notes. Taking part in many outside activities, she finds her ability to concentrate on the work at hand a decided advantage. Outspoken and possessing decided opinions, Meredith can talk to anyone and everyone with the greatest of ease. Page twenty

MARJORIE CHAPUT Glee Club, Vice-President of Newman Club, Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation There is no anti-toxin against her laugh and no shushing can subdue the jingling of the jewelry she wears so well. IVIarge has a handsome, dynamic face and figure, a very merry disposition, and a mania for playing swing records. She sings both swing and sweet music. IVIarge attends every social affair and her presence is an attraction. That lite cut sign on her door may mean study, read- ing, or playing. Her ideals and feelings are expressed impulsively and forcefully. IVIarge condenses her classes into notes by an angular handwriting and green ink. DOROTHY CHEETHAM Glee Club, Student Council, W. A. A. Dot is tall and colorful and distinguished by her lovely red-blonde hair. She has an inquiring mind and the ability to express her well formed opinions in arguments that are the bright spot of the philoso- phy and history classes and the Topics of the Day Club meetings. As conductor of the Somerset Express, Dot makes her daily jaunt with regularity. Her twin of the Junior Class is, surprisingly enough, no relation. MARY CHISHOLM Kindergarten-Primary Club, Women ' s Athletic Association Rosy cheeks and sparkling blue eyes give Chis a bright appearance. She sees the funny side of life, even in her own mistakes, and tells them in her deliberate and laughing manner. With a ready giggle she is a master of the pun and a collector of song hits. As a fresh- man her lunches made her the talk of the commuters ' room. ELSIE CHURCH Head of Archery, Kindergarten-Primary Club, Garden Club An ardent basketball fan, Elsie has given her moral support to the varsity squad. She participates in archery, basketball, and ping- pong (about which she can now show some of her huskier classmates a thing or two) just for the fun of playing; she laughs loudest at her own mistakes. Pert and peppy, she sports the snappiest of collegiate clothes and an individual haircut, both entirely in keeping with her personality. Devilish eyes and spontaneous laughter spice her run- ning flow of conversation. Page twenty-two
