MARY Lui, EMMY Entered, 1925 Born, May 27, 1909 She is pretty to walk with And witty lo talk with And pleasant, too, to think on. -Luckling. ln the morning upon entering the Study Hall, one is greeted by an enthusiastic, Oh, my dear, let me tell you! Thereupon follows an animated conversation, full of oh's and ah's and many gesticulations. As you may guess, the owner of all this is none other than Mary Elizabeth Frost, commonly known among her intimate as Emmy or Mary Lib. Without Emmy, our basketball team would have been lacking in a very efficient forward. With a string .tied around her unruly locks, she places the ball in the basket with great ease. The result of these baskets is advantageous for Brimmer, but sometimes disastrous for Emmy, because her back gets out of joint, and although we offer our services, only the doctor can put it in place again. Besides her athletic skill, Mary Lib has musical talent. Her melodiou voice leads us all in music periods, and, although she has made only one public appearance, at the time of the class play, she shows great ability in playing the piano. Even though we have never been favored by a violin selection, we are told she both plays and enjoys this instrument. For further understanding of Mary Lib's popularity, cf. the above quotation.

Have you ever heard anyone say, Well, I beat Celia in English this month? llave you ever seen Celia dawdling in a study period? No, you have not: Celia isn't the typeg or, if she were, she would certainly conceal the fact. There is one thing, however, that is decidedly puzzling about Celia: and that is. her nationality. Although she, herself, firmly states American, appearances point towards Spanish. ller famous nom-de-plume, of the Short Story Contest, Socrates, presents new com- plications. Recent reports from the Student Council announce that Celia's hair will be put up before that body without further loss of time, but the case is a doubt- ful one.

1927 CLASS BOOK Printing Committee of Class Book Page Sixteen THE SENIOR CLASS RUTH COX GIBBONS Address-6 Houston Street, West Roxbury, Mass. RUTH, Mas ASTORH Entered, 1920 Born, January 8, 1910 Take heed lest passion Sway thy judgment to do aught. -Milton. At three minutes of nine, many eyes are anxiously turned towards the Study Hall door. At two and one third minutes of nine, while Miss Smith reaches for the door knob, a great scurry outside is heard, and in rushes Ruth, to flop down at her desk just as the bell rings. This dramatic scene occurs at least twice a week. Other mornings she saunters in during the first period, for Ruth mustn't miss her diurnal cup of collee at Marston's. To gaze upon her madonna-like face, one would readily believe her to be a gentle, peace-loving soul. But Ruth has her brainstorms every so often. While we are quietly gazing heavenward hoping to be inspired for tomorrow's theme, a loud 1-rash of falling hooks suddenly sends a chill through our spines. But immediately we return to our day-dreaming, Content that it is only Ruth, a bit disturbed over a science problem. Only her closest friends know that Ruth is quite musical, for it is not very often that she will favor us by playing Red Riding Hood and other nursery songs on the pi:-mo. Ruth can also play-sh! whisper it- a guitar!
