She never condeseends to use it, however, except on special ocea- sions such as in making up stories: or in the company of a select group of those who delight in seeing things in the dark. Then Ella, with the best of us, can see any- thing from the devil to a fur-coat, and hear the wind and the creaks with as much terror as anyone. Nevertheless, her practical thriftiness in the expenditure of this x aluable commodity commands respect and promises a future far more definite than if she indulged in seeing it beforehand. Ella's praise or blame is on this account more than useful, as we know that, though she will not imagine virtues we have not, neither will she imagine faults or believe aught against us, without the actual proof alforded by her lumina.

1927 CLASS BOOK AMY CORINNE MERRILL Address--10 Oxford Street, Winchester, Mass. Entered, 1924 Born, May 10, 1907 The very room, coz she was in Seemed warm from floor lo ceilin'. -Lowell. And very true is that, for if there is anyone new or strange in school or at home. Amy makes her feel happy and at ease right away by her sweet, welooming manner. Some morning in school you might hear Amy cry in delighted tones, Oh, girls, I've gained three pounds! For, in spite of the fact that Amy would belong to our Heavy-Eating Club, if we had one, she is one of those much-to-be-envied people who can go to Murray's, partake of French pastries and sundaes, and still keep her ethereal figure. Oh, my-I sighs Amy, and immediately clips her hand over her mouth in dis- may, oh, someone pinch me quick! If you should see Amy walking down the corridor with the mournful expression of one who is going to the guillotine, do not be alarmed. She is only pondering in her mind all that she should say in the weekly oral talk that she dreads so much. All in all, Amy is one of the best friends anyone could have, and we all know that wherever she goes she will gfain many more friends with her winning personality.

Y 1927 CLASS BOOK THE SENIOR CLASS PRISCILLA SELLMAN Address-38 Beechcroft Road, Newton, Mass. Pussy, PUss Entered, 1922 Born, September 4, 1908 Wl1aI dolh gravily Out of her bed al midnighl. --Shakespeare. Only when puckers appear on Pussy's brow as she hunts in vain for a missing dollar and fifty-cents-then only, is she serious. Pussy, as treasurer of the IllHg3ZlIl0, succeeds in pursuing many elusive coins. For her, adventures lurk everywhere. Indeed, who would miss the thrilling tale of her getting lost while looking for India Street, or the other haps of Pussy's career as a detective, while searching for lost dies. At hockey, when we see her dashing off in the dim distance towards the enemy's goal, we know that the ball will arrive safely, despite black cats. At basketball, her wildly waving arms signify efficient guarding. Besides her adeptness in these sports, Pussy, when fully aroused, is a champion arguer. In music period her voice may be heard soaring high above the others in a solo, or else she reduces her floundering schoolmates to despair by singing close harmony. Above all, what astonishes the faculty particularly is how a sensible girl like Pussy can read Darwin's Descent of Man with such fervour and enjoyment. Elected to A.
