DORA GARDELLA Class Representative, Treasurer of French Club, Secretary of Kinder- garten-Primary Club. Dora does something and then wonders why she did it. How- ever she can have no sad after-thoughts for her pictures — she photo- graphs like an angel in a modern hair do. One of Dora ' s avocations is collecting jokes which she passes on in that laughter-filled voice. Her mania for hitting typewriter keys has been developed for Campus Comment and work for her own profit. An ever increasing ward- robe makes her an attractive teacher-to-be, and her ability and ambi- tion foretell a worth while career. JOANNA GONET W. A. A. Representative, Secretary of Garden Club, Sketch Group Blond, blue-eyed, and tiny, Joanna nevertheless has a quiet reserve. Her artistic ability, generosity and willingness draw praise even from her room mate. She talks very slowly and fixes her eyes on you very seriously as she talks or listens. Joanna teaches in the Saturday morning art classes for the training school pupils and is in charge of the training school library. She has kept hidden her ability to play the violin. As a member of W. A. A. Joanna plays baseball, tennis, and ping-pong. Intimates reveal her as a serious and faith- ful student. 7?C« , w J Ult j7g «.. k.«- £ U f » -£ -cLu tug, A JjUi att ELIZABETH GROHT Vice-President of Day Student Council, Kindergarten-Primary Club, Women ' s Athletic Association As one of the loveliest members of our class, Betty has had her even features preserved for the enjoyment of posterity in the form of a clay replica. Whether over at the gym showing the dancing en- thusiasts how it should be done, knitting one, purling one in the social room, or trumping her opponent ' s ace, she is always at ease and completely unassuming. Her exuberance is apparent in her rapid movements, ready laugh, and lively conversation. ROSINA GUZZI French Club, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer of Hobby Club Rosina ' s slim figure is a direct contrast to her capacity for pep, vim and vigor. Bright-eyed and gay in coloring and dress, she is at the same time carefree and full of fun. She uses these very qualities to keep Hobby Club running smoothly and to make her geog and his- tory worries short-lived. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion, she usually ends by laughing it off. Page twenty-nine

S%v LILLIAN FRANCIS Financial Secretary of W. A. A., Glee Club Small, dark and pleasant is the keeper of the Women ' s Athletic Association bank book. In spite of her diminutive size, she keeps large sums in perfect order and handles he r car like a veteran. Pos- sessor of a still, small voice, Lillian can nevertheless use it to advan- tage in Glee Club. A passion for all things mathematical and scienti- fic is balanced by a love for music. Capable and orderly she greets all with a friendly smile. ADELINE FRUZETTI Women ' s Athletic Association, Day Student Council Deliberate in speech and action, Adeline has obligingly kept the school well informed on social events through her posters. When not engrossed in some sort of artwork or music report, she may be found indulging in a bit of roller skating, baseball or, as we all remem- ber, tap-dancing. Adeline has been a friendly and loyal four-year member of a particular college triumvirate. PHYLLIS GALOTTI Newman Club, Garden Club, W. A. A. Phyllis is always well-groomed and well-dressed. Loyal to her friends, she reveals to them her joviality. A charter member of the 5:36 Glee Club, Phyllis regales her fellow-commuters with limitless tales of the night before in Everett. Reading, knitting, and bowling keep her mentally and physically active. GEORGE GANNON Men ' s Club, Men ' s Athletic Association He of the odd remarks and habits, painfully comical, convinced that the world owes him plenty— his actions are in accord with his philosophy. As assistant dean of men , he advocates the cut system. George does not hesitate to substitute wit for wisdom and his polished tongue will probably get him there. Athletically he has played around in basketball and baseball. Page twenty-eight

EARL HAGGERTY C ft L-f A Bridgewater man of former years who returned to the fold two years ago. He has since convinced us of a remarkable ability in dramatics and an interest along literary lines. ALICE HALEY 2nd Vice-President of Day Student Council, Glee Club, A Cappella Possessing an unusual singing and speaking voice, Alice has not limited her talents to her music and literature classes, but has been prominent in dramatic productions and musical organizations. With a calm nonchalance she offers her decided opinions on the topic under discussion and organizes material for her term paper at the eleventh hour. Class notes offer ample evidence of the incurable doodler . Although friendly toward all, Alice favors her intimates with a steadfast loyalty. WALTER HANNIGAN Science Club, Glee Club, Men ' s Club A musical stand-out. As a good tenor and a better pianist Walter successfully combines his background of Beethoven and Gershwin in addition to composing a la Hannigan. Unfortunate are those who only know him in class because his academic efforts hide from most of us his rollicking humor and appreciation of a good time. When he is serious he ' s very serious, and when you ' re blue Doc can ad- minister the cure. WALTER HARDING Business Manager of Alpha, Chairman of Scholarship Committee, Campus Comment. The chief of Bridgewater ' s literati and proponent of modern art, be it literature or painting. As a guiding spirit in the year-book and contributor to the school paper, Walter has been constantly enriching the literary tradition of our college. Walter is an ardent naturalist using it as a recreation and as a background for his work as camp counselor during the summer. His interesting background makes him a welcome member of a round table, but his forte as a writer of cynical and flippant verse is not as well known as it should be. Page thirty
