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!

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.

1927 CLASS BOOK DOROTHEA BOIT GIERASCH Address-130 Longwood Avenue, Brookline, Mass. TID Entered, 1918 Born, May 10, 1910 Dark with excessive bright. -Milton. A situation would never upset her. Indeed, her independence, which fits her for traveling, took her to Europe, away from us for almost a year, when she should have been a member of om' second class. Of course the result abroad was startling, but highly gratifying to us, for the Salon Frangais accepted herwork, a bust of a blind woman. In all ways Tid is an enigma. Her ability to add a witty remark and a quizzical look on every occasion has made her an asset in recitations. Though she may not scatter heedlessly her ideas, it is quite evident that she never lacks something to BBY, the fact that she easily leads us to think she is disclosing ber inmost thoughts causes us to reveal our own secrets all too readily. One drawback about Tid is the difficulty with which the less-favored of us comprehend her witty attacks. Quite often we lose the point, though we are prone to believe there was one. How- ever, we must make the most of her, source of pleasure and exasperation that she is, for we are fully prepared never to meet her like again.
