As this was our first experience in such a ship, we found it rather difficult at first to fit ourselves into the new routine, but towards the end of the year, we began to understand more f'ully the meaning of co-operation and right balance. The majority of our crew had graduated from the Lower School the previous May. These were Marion Barnum, Mary Bird, Jane Gibbs, Phoebe Jordan, Annette Hollis, Janet McKenzie, Elizabeth Melcher, Nancy Somes, Florence Gene Ward, Marcia Webb, Sally Weston, Barbara West, Katharine Wormelle, and Miriam Winslow. To this group we added Lois Briel, Katherine Brown, Rachel Deland, Alice Mahady, Charlotte Manning, Dorothy Preston, and Marie Tufts. , As our pilot, we elected Marcia Webb. Barbara West was her assistant, and Nancy Somes looked after the finances. This year we brought great honor on ourselves by coming in second in the gym meet. FOURTH CLASS In September 1924, the dirigible Brimmer once more left its hangar for an eight months' cruise. This year we were more at home and more daring. Annette Hollis was our pilot, Nancy Somes, her assistant, and Florence Gene Ward managed our finances. Three of our original crew were not Page El with us-Dorothy Preston, Sally Weston, and Miriam Winslow. Also, during the course of the year, a fourth, Phoebe Jordan, deserted our ranks for those of ,27. However, two new girls came in to help fill their places, Constance Greco and Doris Whitney. This year we especially distinguished ourselves by our orderly conduct in study periods and were rewarded by having our name engraved on the shield presented to the school by the Class of 1923. THIRD CLASS Since we had gotten our name on the shield the year before, we unhappily decided at this time to go to the other extreme. As a result we caused Charlotte Manning, our much overworked pilot, and Lois Briel, her assistant, much trouble. Alice Mahady, though, had little difficulty in managing our finances. This year Marion Barnum, Jane Gibbs, Rachel Deland, and Doris Whitney did not accompany us on the cruise, but Barbara Evans, Ruth Hall, and Barbara Phillips joined our ranks. Dorothy Preston also came back, after having spent a winter at House-in-the-Pines. All we man- aged to do this year was cause trouble for the teachers and our pilot. SECOND CLASS In September 1926, the dirigible Brimmer once more left its hangar, Lois Briel was our pilot, Beverly Cox, her assistant, and Elizabeth Melcher, our financier. This year we went without Mary Bird, Barbara Evans, Nancy Somes, and Barbara West, but our ranks were strengthened by Beverly Cox, Rosamond Downer, Jane Gibbs, Helen Hanson, Leah Hanson, Adaline and Catharine Hall, age Tzrrlrc and Jeanette Learoyd. We were very sorry to have Jeanette leave us during the Winter because of her health. We had fewer demerits this year, which partially made up for our conduct the year before. Especially to be remembered is the delightful dance which Class '27 gave for us at the end of January and which we all sincerely enjoyed. As a return for this delightful evening, we entertained them at a picnic at Swampscott for which Dorothy Preston, one of our members, kindly offered us the use of her home and grounds. FIRST CLASS This September we boarded our beloved ship Brimmer rather sorrowfully, for we knew that it was to be our last voyage. All of our former crew returned to us with the exception of Barbara Phillips, and we added several new membersg Alice Campbell, Eleanor Lindabury, Elizabeth Savage, and Leona Small. During this year we entertained the Class of '29 with a dance which was held at the home of Beverly Cox, one of our members. In their turn, the Class of '29 issued an invitation for a delightful picnic at the Country Club in Canton. At the end of May, when we landed for graduation, we were all sorry to think that our trip was over and that we must part from our fellow mates. We wish good luck to the ship Brimmer on its future cruises. Page T I 111 I wu1'I:1fr N 1928 CUSS B005 THE SE5QlQl51f?Lf1SS LUIS Bllllil, flddrffss - 239 Ashmont StI'f'0IL, l30l'f'll0St0I'. Mass.

At lirst meeting she seems- oh. so quiet and shy, but thereafter, well that's where the surprise vomes in. If you know her. you'll realize what a nive surprise it is, too. Certainly Alive deserves her title as the best-natured girl in the vlass, for she is always agreeable and friendly, besides being perpetually valm and unrutlled in disposition. Furthermore. Alive is a born disvoverer. She and a vertain friend of hers seem to have the knavk of bringing to light cute new restaurants-their names we'll not reveal here. for Alive's sake! Likewise, she seems to have made quite a diseovery in the medival line-namely, a certain dovtor on Boylston Street twhom she visits sometimes three. sometimes four times a weekj. As Alive won't, tell us anything about him. we are beginning to get suspicious. There's a picture, too, of Alive as a very consvientious student. Daily she varries great books to and from svhool. but, be it said, they are always tilled with spevial deliveries from a vollege in Pennsylvania. There was almost a panie in Wall Street one day when Alive dropped one of them and everybody made a dash for it. lf only Alice vould have vome to us sooner. Our only regret is that we eould not have known her for live years instead of one. 1928 CLASS BOOK THE SENIOR CLASS MARY BEVERLY COX Address - 64 Sumner Road, Brookline, Mass. REV, Bravo Entered September 1926 Born December 13, 1909 Varium el mulabile semper fem1'na. QA lhing of moods and changes is woman ever.j-Vergil Beverly is our class jester. Whenever a laughing group of girls is found at the back of the Study Hall, Bev is sure to be in the middle of it, usually telling some wild and woolly tale of pills and fainting people at Schralftfs, or the like. Soon roars of laughter follow, she is relating some of her favorite punk jokesg and above all the mirth comes her tee-hee . At the luncheon table, too, Bev holds forth with anecdotes about certain persons QM who are in humilerations because of ber exaggerated descriptions. Bev has a peculiar manner of expressing herself. In every class she finds a way of describing what she wants to say, plucking it out of the air with her thumb and forefinger, as if this action helped in reciting a French verb or a Chemistry equation! In fact., when she asks for a who-dinkey in a store, those two digits are a means of conveying to the salesman the idea of the article which she desires. Bev's favorite color is blue and it isn't hard to tell why, although, he it said, reason does not lie in her big blue eyes, sometimes merry, sometimes dreamy as she hears the strains uf Blue Heaven or Diane . Bev surely is not blue in her thoughts, for she is the sunniest and most happy-go-lucky member of our class.

None other than Jane. W'hat will the A French Class do without her? Since Sister Bettie is home from Europe, our Jane is very fluent in French. Jane is not the athletic type: nor is she deeply devoted to the academic. We have found out that when she arrives on Monday morning, in an exhausted condition, it is not because of too nmeh homework but, rather, a weekend at Andover. No, she is not an athlete. In our gym, classes Jane is a source of amusement, because of her animated efforts to follow the kindly leadership of Marie, who en- deavors to keep her going in the path which she should follow. lt is seldom Jane is seen without Libg they are always to be found together, inside school or outside. Jane is a loyal friend and a welcome addition to any party.

But in spite of all these outside diversions, Connie usually manages to have her studies well prepared und. in the past, she has always found plenty of time to be a eompetent member of our hoekey and basketball teams.

No one is very sure what Ruth does outside of school. but she hardly ever joins us at lunch and generally is in a great lmrry to leave. If by any Chance there is a little flutter at the Study Hall door between five and two minutes of nine in the morning, it is sure to be Ruth with her glasses in one hand and her lunch in the other-Ruth, sliding into her seat just as the bell rings.

ADAM Entered September 1926 Born February 7, 1908 A good friend may well be reckoned as a maslerpicce of nature. Ada has proved to us that friendship is a masterpiece of nature. Besides being such a staunch classmate, she is also an all-round athlete. Why, we just couldn't get along without Ada at basketball. How we used to confuse her with Catharine, but now, who could fail to recognize that the contagious laugh we hear is Ada's. We also know that Ada loves ice cream and cake, a little better than Catharine. and always has plenty of it at lunch. We shall not forget how splendidly Ada portrayed the Maker of Dreams in the Class Play. No one else could have achieved quite that dignity and reserve, 1928 ,CLASS 13015 CATHARINIC l3lil'IliD HALL A ddress P- South H anover, Mass.

Why, hcre's Kate, or no, is it Ada? Will wc cvcr learn to tell the two llall sisters apart? .lust take a look at Kate during study periods. She tries to be very dignified. so her sister says, but we all know how good-natured and full of fun she is. Kate is always ready for anything. She surely is a good sport , not only when it comes to hockey, basketball, and all forms of athletics, but in school and everywhere. As a magician. Kate deserves all the prizes and gold medals that were ever invented. for on the memorable occasion of the Class Play, she proved beyond all shadow of doubt that she could bring glasses of water out of mid-air and make Miss Piokering's handkerchief vanish completely from sight, besides fooling us with card tricks and many delightful stunts that entirely bamboozled us. Perhaps it is due to this mystifying ability that she is able to confuse us so often as to her identity, but we trust that by June, when we have come to the end of our school career, we shall be able to tell the llall girls apart. r w 'mf I FH1? 591 U23 CQQS CATIIARINE HALL Athletic Association, '27 llockey Teams, '26, '27 Student Council, '27 Second Basket-ball Team, '28 Class Teams Class Play CManagerD Circulation Committee Christmas Play Pugr Tll'l llfU-fhTl'C 4 P' If 5 1928 czmss BOOK THE SENIOR CL ass lll'Il,liN IIANSOY Printing and Circulation Ifonnnitlee Class Play Pzlflr' T11'1'1lly1ful1r HELEN HANSON Address - 28 Linnaean Street.

Furthermore, we learned that she has artistic ability. as she was discovered to be the designer of The Boat Race for Miss l'ickering's Vergil class. Eleanor has never yet been known to feel sad or to be without a very engaging smile which, curiously enough, is most always reflected on the faces of her associates.

This is not her only achievement for. whether it he on the hot-key field, at a Bowdoin prom, on the golf eourse, or behind the wheel of her auto, Charlotte is equally at ease.

An original poem recited in class-it sounded just like one of 'l'ennyson's or any regular poet's-made us marvel: and then we were sure that she was a genius when we began to hear rumors of how beautifully she played the 'cello and eould draw. Now that we have Elizabeth in our class we never have to look up any informa- tion in regard to Shelley, for you see, this famous poet is her idol. All we need to do is question her, and we find out more about him than any book could possibly tell us. Also, here's a word to the Wise, girls:- Savage in name is Savage in manner- When anything derogatory ls said about Shelley!

Now at night we spend our hours before the mirror with a t.ube of vaseline which we apply diligently with a small brush, in hopes of achieving more eye-lash-ial beauty for ourselves.

The honor of belonging to this committee goes only to those who live up to the requirements in athletics, posture, studies, and good school spirit. This year, under the persistent supervision of Miss Osgood, good posture has been urged upon everyone, and we feel sure that hy the end of May our posture will be excellent. V During the five years of our Upper School life, thirteen members have been elected to the Executive Board. Annette Hollis, Nancy Somes, and Marian Barnum, were elected in 19243 Mary Elizabeth Bird and Charlotte Manning, elected in 1925g Katharine Wormelle and Alice Mahady, elected in 19263 Adaline and Catharine Hall, Constance Greco, and Marie Tufts, elected in 1927g Lois Briel and Janet McKenzie, elected in 1928. Unfortunately four of the members left in the Fifth and Fourth Classes and only nine remain in our present class. In 1926, Charlotte Manning was chosen Secretary and Treasurer. In 1928, she was made Presidentg Katharine Wormelle, Yice-President, and Constance Draper, of the Class of '29, held the office of Secretary and Treasurer.

The class of '28 has certainly contributed many valuable players to the successful Brimmer teams of the last few years. In the fall of 1924, Charlotte Manning was our goal tender and the first of our class to show her ability in hockey. In 1925 Connie Greco made the team as left full back and Charlotte resumed her old position at the goal. In 1926 Kate Hall, owing to her skillful playing won the place of goalie and Connie returned this year to play center half back. In 1927, however, the class of 1928 was well represented with Kay Wormelle, our able Captain, at left wing, Beverly Cox as center forward, Ada Hall as left inside. Kate Hall as left half back, Connie Greco as center half back, Marie 'Tufts as left full back, and Charlotte Manning as goal tender. The entire team for the fall of 1927 was as follows: r.w., B.

The next year, however, Annette Hollis won fame by making the first team. In 1926 Constance Greco and Nancy Somes were substitutes. During the winter of 1927, Katharine Wormelle played on the second team and Marie Tufts was a substitute. This year Marie Tufts played guard on the first team and Adaline Hall, Catharine Hall, Katharine Wormelle, and Alice Mahady, who was captain, played on the second team. The results of the games show the great success which Miss Osgood has attained during her first year at Brimmer.

Q 5 - l .J A.-,1 fllilass iBlap N February 21, this year, came our turn to provide the entertainment given annually to the school by the First Class. Instead of presenting an original take off on school life and affairs, we decided, after much violent discussion, to vary the customary type of program, that is to present a real play first. In short, as the programs said, it was an hour of First Class Fun. This began with a special release of Pathe - tic News Features, filmed by two members of the faculty, and revealing the lighter side of school life. Then came the play, The Maker of Dreams by Oliphant Down. The parts were taken by the First Class Playersi' - Elizabeth Melcher, Eleanor Lindabury, and Adaline Hall. Elizabeth and Eleanor were charming in their roles as Pierette and Pierrot, and Adaline, as the kindly and whimsical Dream Maker, played her part admirably. Last but certainly not least, came a series of vaudeville acts, in which our First Class ingenuity found expression. The whole performance ended when we sang to the school our optimistic First Class advice, - a song which gave the school the secret of our well-known optimism - LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA ON A RAINY, RAINY DAY.

Especially have we laid emphasis on the fact that this is an honor system and, furthermore, a system which aims to promote co-operation between the faculty and the student body. We trust that this year, though it has brought us more than the usual number of problems, has helped us realize more fully the standards upheld by the Student Council, and we hope that we have approached a little nearer our goal. Certainly, we all join whole-heartedly in wishing the greatest success for the future of Student Government at Brimmer.

Membership is open to all who win either first or second prize in the contests which are held for the magazine. So far we have had two contests, and our original number, which included three honorary members - Miss Cummings, Miss Pickering, and Miss Smith - and the Magazine Board, has been increased by the following: Hugh Parker, Grade 3, Guysbert Vroom, Jr., Grade 4, Martha Stribling, Grade fl, Joan Albee, Grade 7, Wendie Morison, Class V, and Letitia Jordan, Class IV. As we think this society will help to achieve the standards which we have set for ourselves, we hope it will become a permanent part of Brimmer life. Page Fifly U 6 Qlilass 1HrupiJe:p OR the past few months I have been touring Europe, seeking inspiration for my future book, which, may I state, is to be the goal of my life's work, and will be presented to the world under the impressive title of How to Prevent Arriving at Class on Time. While visiting Paris, I received several great surprises. The chain of events which I am about to link together began one morning in the Rue de la Paix. I was crossing the street, when a blue touring-car came dashing madly around a corner, almost upsetting me. A slender girl was leaning from it, waving madly, and by her sky blue eyes and Ramona-of-the-novel-colored hair I recognized her as my old school chum, Alice Mahady. We were both in a hurry and couldn't chat for long, but in those few joyous moments I learned a great deal of news. Alice was married - this, with a blush - and was seeing Europe with her husband in the blue car. ,She said the former Roddy Downer was staying at their hotel, and that she had been married four times, was just now beginning her fourth honeymoon. Roddy in turn had offered the startling news that Dot Preston had finished a successful trip to France, despite aviation boots and setting-up exercises at the home air- portg also, that she - Roddy - had met Libby Melcher, who had been convaleseing in Paris ever since her strenuous efforts in the position of Class President in 1928: between the necessary rests, Lib was reviewing styles for her noted modiste shop in New York. Although I should have liked to stay in Paris and visit my other friends, I felt I could not change my plans, and so I traveled on to Italy. While in Venice, I often gondoled. One night a gondola, filled with gay young people, passed us, and one of the girls called to me. It was Jane Gibbs! Al- I a Fifty-four though I nearly caused my gondola to capsize in my astonishment, I finally gathered that Jane was studying art, and teaching Hungarian as a side line. Jane always was nimble with her tongue. What do you think! she said, Elizabeth Savage is engineering the laying of macadam roads in remote sections of Asia Minor! One never can tell, can one? From Italy, I went to the British Isles. Surely, I Won't meet anyone in England, I said to myself. But, Lombardi Street, and - Kay Hall! It seemed that she had recently arrived in England and was about to do her bit as the United States Women's Hockey Champion for 1935. When I inquired for Ada, I learned that she was keeping a Home for Orphans, and - oh, well- riding Wild West bronchos as a hobby. Long live the Halls! Modest, but clever! Soon after this meeting - and by the way, Kay said that Charlotte Manning was acquiring fame as an agent for Packard cars, and that 'LKay Wormelle had made her debut as a Buck and Wing Vaudeville star - as I was eagerly perusing an American paper, I found in the Stage Section, much to my surprise, the names of three of my former class-mates who had succumbed to the lure of the bright lights. Connie Greco, who had bleached her hair, and Ruth Hall were doing a joint act as sisters, Connie was the dancer, and Ruth was giving choice Black Crow selections. There was a short column dedicated to Lindy - we mean Eleanor, -stating that she was leading lady in the Artists and Models for 1936, and, in the account of her life, that she had formerly been an authority on the Internal Mechanisms of the Ford. ' Upon my return to the United States, and incidentally, Boston, I decided,simply enough, that I needed a new hat. As I was strolling along Boylston Street, my eyes were suddenly dazzled by the radiance of a large, twinkling, milliner's sign. A new store, and inevitable Fate! I entered. The gorgeous display of the choicest styles which met my curious eye, made me unable to forbear exclaiming aloud over finding such a shop in Boston. Just then someone strolled toward me. It was no other than Leah Hanson, the owner, and I lingered for some time, listening to her story of success. She was very contented, surrounded by her hats. Page Fufly five Seeing Leah, reminded me of Helen, even though they are not sisters. Leah told me that Helen had graduated from college with honors, had received every possible kind of degree, and had then been offered a very responsible teaching position at Harvard. Three cheers for Helen! About this time, I received a letter from New York. It was an invitation from Leona Small, to visit her at her new home overlooking the Hudson. She had but recently given up steam-boat racing, and was doing research work in psychology, in which field she was deeply interested. There I had a pleasant visit of several days with her. On my way home through New York City, some time later, I stood listening to a huge radio in a music store on Broadway. U. N. T. announcing, said a voice from the loud speaker, We are about to present to you a group of new song hits, one of the very latest being, Why I like Fraternity Pins and Clogging by Beverly Cox. When I returned to Massachusetts, I went one day to visit my old friend Janet McKenzie, who had long since changed her last name. Her large family was a joy to me, and I boarded the train for her town with great anticipation. During the ride the conductor passed around cards which I supposed were advertisements. But it was not an ad for liniment this time. Alice Campbell was printed in large letters across the top, and lower down Improvement Committee of Footstools for Sleepy Passengers on the New York, New Haven, SL Hartford RB. Upon reaching Blankville, Janet and I greeted each other affectionately, and when I had told her about our class-mates, I received the choicest bit of news.
