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.

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.

Vemon Street, West Roxbury, Mass. i'NICKY, NICK Entered, 1921 Born, December 2, 1908 Who mired reason wilh pleasure, and wisdom wilh mirlh. -Goldsmith. Nicky--synonym for animation, versatility, leadership, and numerous other good qualities. A saint? Far from it! Look back at all the scrapes and faux pas she has survived. She is one of the liveliest individuals we have ever looked upon. Who could doubt this after having seen her cheer-leading, dancing Ca favorite pas- time of hersj, tearing down the hockey field, or merely talking to a friend? She is extremely clever at the piano, not limiting her playing to classics or the hymns we strive to sing. All these are abilities known to Brimmeriles, but only a few have had the privilege of seeing her dive and skate. Nicky is an ardent supporter of all that goes on at school, a loyal friend. As long as we have known her, it has been true of her that she came, we saw, she conquered.
