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

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 '

VELYN rmitory CoC g pfcen-Primary Club urer of Woodward, Treasurer of Kinder- Sleepy Time Gal around school but energetic when pleasure bent. Her tiny feet win admiration but her tiny voice gets exasperation — from the faculty. Evie ' s activities include acting as chauffeur to her gang, knitting, and singing hymns off-key. Her grin centers not around her mouth but in the laughter wrinkles around her eyes. She and her roommate live together in harmony because of long- standing friendship and a kindred interest in art. Clothes, furnish- ings, and work reveal her good taste. Her personality can be summed up in the words, pleasing, agreeable, and amiable. WESLEY COULTER Topics of the Day Club, Sketch Group, Men ' s Athletic Association B. T. C. chief politician. He ' s willing to argue on any election. But sad for him, sunflowers die, and election bets come due, in Nov- ember. His speed-wagon has been the chief means of transportation for extra-curricular functions; and how he burns up the roads and the cops! Wes is a storehouse of anecdotes and stories. Among the best of campus dressers, he tops all by flaunting a full-dress marine reserve uniform. Although he has been known to blush in history class, you can usually be sure this marine has landed and has the situation well in hand. 4ffifc FRANK CROOKER Secretary of Orchestra, Science Club, Men ' s Glee Club He stole the march on most of us by leaping into the star role in a dramatic club production less than two months after he arrived on campus — and did an expert job. Since then, he has kept up his platform appearances with a position as violinist in the orchestra and for a time as a member of the Men ' s Glee Club. Miss Rand finds him an invaluable general assistant in the music department. Frank is a whiz as he combines mathematical ability in geog and science classes. GERTRUDE CURRIER Secretary of Dormitory Council, W. A. A. Representative, Student Fellowship Tall, sporty and impatient, Gert is frank almost to the point of being brusque. When she ' s not learning the latest dance step she ' s looking for someone with whom to waste time. However she cuts up a N. Y. Times each week, reads for lit, music and art, and reads for her own amusement. Formals, socials, movies, sports— all find her present. A genius for friendship and camaraderie, Gert is one of the best liked girls in college. Although susceptible to teasing, she is so sincere she isn ' t made the victim long. Page twenty-three
