RUTH DAVIS Westport President of Woodward 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 2, 3, 4. Coming to us from Hyannis in her sophomore year, Ruth found the Wood girls tops, until her senior year when she was elected to keep them from going astray. It was then she learned that one can ' t judge a book by it ' s cover! For diversion from this great problem, Ruth joined the ranks of the modern dance group and became an active participant of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. Did you find this age easier to handle, Ruth? MARY DeCOSTE Quincy Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Hobby Club 1 . Dark hair, always in a modern up-do and sparkling teeth, together with her bright clothes give Mary a colorful appearance. Argumentative and loqua- cious, she adds worthwhile spice and vigor to any class discussion. An operator ol the Quincy bus to Bridgewater, is just one of the extra-curricular activities in wh.ich Mary has been engaged; the one which perhaps has taken the most time is tile correspondence course which has been carried on between here and the University of Maine! Is that right, Mary? SAMUEL DEICH Dorchester Menorah Society; Treasurer 2, 3; President 4; Lecture Fund 3, 4; Camera Club 4; Men ' s Athletic Association. Remember the Alumni Building Fund? the thermometer on the Ad. build- ing? the chapel program which aroused so much enthusiasm? Sam, having proved himself indispensible as a committeeman, was an enthusiastic supporter of this enterprise and worked untiringly for its success. We are indebted to him for the many fine speakers we heard while he was head of Lecture Fund, and for the organization of the Menorah Society here, of which he was president this year. Sam ' s even temper has carried him through many difficult situations and promises to take him far. French Club 3, 4; Newman Club 3, 4. JOSEPH DEVITT Boston French Club should certainly be grateful to Joe for following the road to Bridgewater for few people have been so faithful to any organization as Joe has to this one. Quiet, unassuming, a very good student, Joe has contributed well to all class discussions and what he has to say is always well worth listening to. Page 29

• ' . ALICE COLE Plympton Women ' s Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Accompanist for Men ' s Glee Club 3, 4. Alice ' s spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but never last long. A keen interest in other people makes her sympathetic with their troubles. Her voice has been used to swell the ranks of the Glee Club while her musical interests are extended to include accompany- ing the Men ' s Glee Club for two years. GERALD CONNOR Watertown Alpha 3, 4; Assistant Photographer 3; Photographer 4; Men ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. Easy-going, but sure of what he wants, Jerry has gone about getting it in the shortest way possible. With little apparent effort, he has surmounted any obstacle presented by the science and geography departments and found time to manage the photography for Alpha. Possessing great ability as a speaker and conversationalist, Jerry was the orator representing the student body at our First Centennial program. With such qualities as these, Jerry is bound to reach the top in a few strides. CLAIRE CURRAN Norwood Library Club 2, 3; Technical Editor of Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten- Primary Club 1, 2, 3 President 4. Claire takes her life, studies, and work very seriously. She enjoys r eading with true appreciation and can express her tastes with genuine critical insight. She goes about all her work with a quiet efficiency. Among her friends Claire often sheds her cloak of seriousness and displays a fun-loving spirit and even occasional bursts of wit. PHYLLIS DALY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. College and studying to Phyl are very serious, but she ' d rather you didn ' t know it. Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going. She ' s easily flustered, quick to giggle, and takes a joke good-naturedly; then resumes her calm. To the perpetual surprise and amusement of herself and her gang, Phyl changes her mind as quickly as she makes a decision. Page 28

BARBARA DOBBYN Quincy Treasurer of S. C. A. ; Assistant Treasurer of S. C. A..: Treasurer of Class 2; Women ' s Athletic Association Representative 1; Camera Club 4; Newman Club 2,4- Sweet personality — full of rascality. Keeper of high finance, Barbara handles money with a twinkle in her blue eyes which belies her efficiency. Recog- nized by her sincerity and naive manner, Barbara ' s infectious laughter lightens every classroom. She is hostess to the famed Rocky Point gang and the smaller half of that Barb-lrm combination which is found in all B. T. C. enterprises. HELEN DOBBYN New Bedford Women ' s Athletic Association. There are a few individuals who don ' t realize their own worth. Helen is like that. She is generous, sincere and always ready to help in any way possible. Maybe the fact that, while proctor on Tilly third, she tucked in a certain freshman every night, is a clue to her real personality. GENEVIEVE DOHERTY Cambridge German Club 3, 4; Second Vice-President 4; Choir 3, 4,- Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Newman Club 3, 4. Good natured and carefree, Gen is perhaps one of the best known and best liked girls in the class. Full of nervous energy, she seems to do her best work under pressure. In responsible and love-free moments, Gen can be found on the stage of Horace Mann playing to perfection the leading roles in Miss Low ' s productions. After day-hopping for two years, Gen found the discipline and restrictions of dorm life rather confining but she soon entered into the spirit of the game and senior year found her leading the Wood girls part time. CATHERINE DRUMMEY East Braintree Women ' s Athletic Association,- Garden Club. One of the more diminutive members of the class, Kay is an excellent hockey player and all-round sport. She may be included among the ardent, supporters of noon-time dancing. Although she needs coaxing to really laugh she has a hearty giggle that brings tears to her eyes. Kay is really a farmer at heart and can give you the latest information on Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and incubators, but never counts her chickens before they ' re hatched. Page 30
