FIRST GRADE In the First grade, They are learning about trees. They have drawn Scrubby, witch-broom trees, long, pale trees without branches, and scribbly, spinach-like trees without form. The teacher points out the window, And the children see that trees are sky skitterers, cloud-tall. They see glistening progression from trunk to twig As if someone had designed it cunningly. They see autumn leaves scrambling and fumbling.

MARY ALLEN Taunton Science Club 3, 4,- Topics of the Day Club 2, 3; Hobby Club 2, 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. Mary participates enthusiastically in activities and field trips sponsored by Science Club and catches up on current events in Topics of the Day Club. A passion for all things mathematical and scientific is balanced by a love for sports. Afternoons find her out on the hockey field with her pals, knocking the hockey ball around and doing very well, too. Mary is deliberate in manner, persevering in carrying out her undertakings, and serious in her plans for a teaching career. MARY ANDREWS Brockton Newman Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Sparkling black eyes always on the alert to catch the latest dance step or the latest bit of news, is Mary, a devotee of Dudley ' s. College and studying are really very serious to Mary although very few know it. Mary makes and keeps friends through her steadfast loyalty, her frankness, and her sincerity. Her willingness to enter into all kinds of fun can be measured in noting the fact she has turned down only one challenge. How about it, Mary — anytime you ' re ready! JEANNE BATHO Hyde Park French Club 1, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Jeanne ' s interest lies mainly in la belle langue, and she does speak it beautifully. Majoring in French, she aims to keep the scholarship and enthusiasm high in Room 34. Mardi Gras committees find her an active member supplying many original suggestions. Jeanne delights in confusing us by contributing ideas at a much greater rate of speed than our rate of comprehension. RUTH BISSETT Quincy Glee Club 1; Topics of the Day Club 4; Hobby Club 1; Women ' s Athletic Association. Remember that diminutive couple which was ever-present in the gym noons? Ruth was the blonde. Dancing is just one of the things that she does and does well — she sings, swings a mean tennis racquet and still finds time to keep her average well above the average. Extra curricular has found her to be an enthus- iastic participant, keeping well abreast of the times in Topics of the Day and discovering how she may make worthy use of leisure time in Hobby Club. With interests as diversified as these, Ruth will always be able to adapt herself to any new situation. Page 24
