Our sturdy driver was Barbara Lang, our footman, Betty F loydg our faretaker, Isabelle Neer. The registry, made up before we left Ye Tavern, listed the following names: Ellen Baker, Marie Buff, Barbara Crowe, Elizabeth Dean, Constance Draper, Betty Floyd, Margaret Haskell, Lucy Hill, Betty Howes, Ellen Kennedy, May Kingsley, Betty Foster, Rebecca Hawley, Margaret J effery, Barbara Lang, Mary Elizabeth Lowe, Jean Merrill, Isabelle Neer, Eleanor Notman, Barbara Phillips, Sally Quinn, Betty Sawyer, Gertrude Stone, and Carol White. It was an uneventful voyage, as we were only children, unaccustomed to the ways of the world, and hooks were our only joy. After a brief rest during the summer months, we again resumed our journey. Rebecca Hawley, Jean Merrill, Margaret Jeffery, Barbara Lang, Mary E. Lowe, Eleanor Notman, and Barbara Phillips followed itineraries which took them along a different road, but Lois Morse, Betty White, and Alice Schoenfuss joined us as new passengers. Our driver on this part of the journey was Constance Draper: while Isabelle N eer and Betty Floyd exchanged places as footman and conductor. Still conscientious, we plugged away at the books and were so very, very good, that we got our name on the Shield for the best-mannered class en route. However, we played our little pranks and annoyed everybody by our innocent Cookie Club, and by wearing enormous hair ribbons-as yet we had not put away childish things. Page IN L LC Again we stopped, and parted with Betty Howes and Gertrude Stone, but Madeline Hawes and Nancy Lankenau boarded our coach before we started off again. Due to our competent driver, Betty Floyd, our footman, Sally Quinn, and our re-elected carrier of the cash bag, Isabelle Neer, as well as to the fact that we were now wiser in the ways of traveling, the trip was interesting, albeit uneventful. We now began to assume the responsibilities of young ladies, by indulging in the first of our College Board Examinations. As we neared the end of our journey, Betty Foster, Lucy Hill, Nancy Lankenau, Elizabeth Dean and Alice Schoenfuss, left us, to go their several ways, but Carol Hanson and Beverly Holloway joined our happy throng. Our guides and counselors on the way were Constance Draper, Ellen Baker and Margaret Haskell. This year we were the pride of Brimmer and captured the Athletic Cup. Furthermore, being sufficiently grown-up, we had the privilege of entertaining the First Class at a picnic in Canton. This year we began the last lap of our journey under the management of Betty Floyd, Ellen Baker and Betty White, a truly staunch and capable trio. We took on five more passengers: Helen Graves, Ellen Barbour, Ruth Garrod, Theresa Dodge, and Helen Idellg and our party has been a merry one, for all last year's fellow passengers stayed with us, and our new companions proved right good fun. We found time and opportunity to enliven our journey by giving a play which amused, we hope, many other sojourners on the broad highway: by stopping off for a dance to which we invited the members of the Second Class, as we wanted to let them glimpse the pleasures of First Class travel. Then after supping one night at Ye College Club, we passed a most enjoyable evening at Ye Colonial Theatre. On May 29, we reached our destination, where we celebrated together once more before taking our separate ways. This time we resolved right heartily to return every year to talk over the happy days of our trip, and tell each other of all the things we have done to help the world along. May future alumnae days bring as many merry times! P ge Ten W. L BEvERLY, MADELIN H CA Ro .EN E 1. URT opR EN I. EN L S.

Ellen is a determined person. .-Knnong the many things she has deeided, these are outstanding: that she will not go to eollege, Cshe just doesn't want toj, that she hates gynl, that she adores horses, and that Betty Floyd is the best ever, We soon learned all this about her. although she nexer stays after sehool hours. Of eourse. she is too elever to need any after-sehool help, and then. she has other interests lar more important and diverting than any afternoon sports. llenee, she hustfes away, on Mondays to those settlement eheruhs. about whom, ineidentnlly. she got into print: on the other days, there are teas. horses, or the llepuhlieun Club. Yes. lillen is busy as well as deeided. ln spite of her determination and bustle. we all like the little lillen with her red hair, Ca xery, very, slight, redl. her tiny nose, and her brisk step. YM-'re eontident, too, that her determination and eommon sense will plaee her among the best, whether she deals with settlement ehildren or horses. 192.9 CLA SS BOOK LOUISE MARIE BUFF Address-341 Alveston Street, Jamaica Plain, Mass. n.lVlARIE,, Enlered, September 1922 Born, December 12, l909 To those lhal know Ihre nol, no words can painlg A ml lhosc llzal know llzee, know all words are fainlf'-More Marie, full of enthusiasm and always ready for a good time, has been at Brimmer for all of seven years. Her keen sense of humor and contagious laughter make her one of the most popular members of our class, but her popularity is by no means limited to the class room, for everyone who knows Marie loves her. Although she has not spent very much of her time contesting for places on our school teams, we all know that Marie enjoys tennis and swimming, also, that she dances murvelously. Among lVlarie's trials is the weekly music period. Marie can sing as well as any of us, hut she has rather a habit of coming in at the middle of the song. There- fore, when we hear a strange sound, a little dilferent from any around us, just a trifle oil' pitch, we are usually sure in guessing it is Marie, who has suddenly decided to lend her voice to the chorus. Whut's a song among friends, though? Marie has been here so many years that Brimmer may have trouble in finding another to fill the corner she has taken,- not only in the study-hall, but also in activities.

'GBETTYN Enlered, September 1917 Born, March 14, 1912 To know her is lo love her, And lo love her is a liberal educalionf' As may be seen by her list of achievements. Betty has been a steady prop in our class ever since she entered the school, which is farther back than most of us can remember. Whatever the problem, Betty is always ready to meet it, whether it is t.o give an opinion in Current Events, or to place a tieklish demand before the faculty: and she is well known for her attachment to certain members of that august body. ller executive ability may be well appreciated by the faet that every year but 1928, Betty has held a class olliee. Was it rather trying for her then to be able to drive only from the baek seat? ln singing, Betty is an inestimable aid, and is continually asked to solo at our exercises. Until this year we always thought her modest, but at Christmas she surprised us all by passing around life-size por- traits of herself. She has also accomplished the impossible: that is, all the time having clean middies and sneakers for gym. The latter stunt proved rather a disadvantage. however. as some needy gymnast, attracted by their unusual color. once helped herself, and then thoughtfully neglected to return them. But Betty has always appreciated a joke on herself: especially in chemistry experiments, when her hllnlorous blunders have sent us into convulsions: and in class meeting. when she lms started to sit down, thinking the chair was behind her, but landing, instead. with a consequent laek of dignity. on the lloor. We all hope, however, that she will have learned to stand on her own two feet when she reaches Smith next fall, and we trust that she will not be forced to remain in college as many years as she has stayed at Brimmer.

In Current Events she can always answer, and, I believe. is personally acquainted with some of our great men-Bill Donovan, for instance. She has gained from this acquaintance a most wondrous and remarkable vocabulary, although she does persist in calling the eldest son of the King of England, the Prince of Whales. This knowledge of words, I am told, goes beyond ordinary English into Irish and other broguesg thereby making Ruth's themes most original in tone and style. Albeit at the risk of creating a negative impression, we can describe Ruth well in terms of never, for she never shouts in the halls, never endangers the lives of others by playing baseball on the roof, never slams her desk cover, and never, never has arrived at school early. 1929 CLASS BOOK HELEN GRAYES Address-31 Everett Avenue, Winchester.

The fact is Margaret is brighI ! Yes. l'm sorry, but she deserves that unfortunate epithet, because of her A-getting propensities. An efeellent report card, Margaret l We've heard that said every four weeks of the forty months in our Upper School career! Margaret enjoys the Opera, particularly in the evening, and, perhaps inspired by the great that she hears performing there, she plays the piano. llymns she ex- cels in, especially Onward, Christian Soldiers, and you'll find out that she can sing. if you are clever enough to catch her oll' her guard. Next to singing. we might add the fact that her love for animals is truly remarkable in one so young. for her alfection for a certain Toni -a handsome specimen of feline majesty-is quite touching, and has warranted her membership in the Audubon Society. But undoubt- edly the finest quality in the girl's whole character is her firm, strong sense of thrift. ln Margaretfs life no piece of string. no inch of paper is unused, and we marvel to hear that she has used the same homework notebook for two consecutive years. Her energy in economieal questions does not surpass that with which she wields her tennis racquet. We cheer with excitement her masterly strokes. and enviously com- pare her garlic to the dashing English Comps that are returned to her. ever bearing the couunent Well done! lie it said for l'eg's benefit that we all have our idols and nobody blames her for admiring llelen Wills. Margaret. is a good child. and in leave taking, we feel for her a parental fondness. as she sets out this June for the treacherous evils of Paris! May she return to us, and to Bryn Mawr, unspoiled by its dangerous temptations, and may she be strength- ened against the fascinations of the charming Chinese Apollos with whom she will probably study French!

Bets, you join the Salvation Army so that the little ones may not have to miss you. Although, until this last year, Betty has been unable to participate in active sports, she has shown a large amount of school spirit. At every game, Bets may be seen with either the timer's watch or the score book in her hand. Wednesdays find Betty setting forth for the Assembly Hall, where, after five years of training with the Glee Club, she has at last become a prominent second soprano. As to her outside of school activities-weck-end parties, company, etc.-we are a little in the dark, but each Monday morning we are greeted with a bright new story about one or more of Betty's Sunday School children, whom, we must add, she quite adores, with an affection rivalling closely her evident fondness for dogs. What will she ever do next year at Smith without the pups or the precious in- fants? Unless College Freshmen prove unduly amusing, we foresee a case of home- sickness for Betty.-but we trust that will never come to pass!

Under this new plan each class has been divided into two sides, the Greens and the Whites. This has helped a great deal to stimulate interest in sports, subsequently there has been a friendly rivalry kindled which has proved keenly absorbing. The addition of swimming to our list of winter sports enticed a large number of girls to the new Y. W. C. A. swimming pool. An inter-team Swimming Meet finished off the season, the Greens taking the honors. The Executive Board of Athletic Association comprises those girls who measure up to the requirements of good posture, high standing in studies, and good school spirit. Our class is represented by ten members: Constance Draper, elected in '25, Isabelle Neer CManager of Indoor Sports '29j, and Barbara Crowe fManager of Field Sports '29D, elected in '26g May Kingsley CPresident '29J, Margaret Haskell, and Elizabeth Sawyer, elected '27, Ellen Baker CVice-President '29J, elected '28, and Ellen Kennedy, Carol Hanson, and Theresa Dodge, elected '29.

Two teams have been undefeated, and two members, B. Bailey, in 1927, and B. Crowe, in 1928, have been elected to the All-Boston Honorary Team. ' In Class V, '29 had one member on the team, B. Crowe, at goal. The next year she was on the squad, playing full back. In 1926 C. Draper joined the squad, and B. Crowe played half back. The next year both again made the team. When the fall of 1928 came around C. Draper was elected captain, and M. Kingsley, I. Neer, E. Kennedy, H. Graves, and B. Crowe were her team-mates from '29.

BX XSR H Basket Mall FOR the past two years the basket ball team has drawn about two-thirds of its members from the Class of '29. M. Kingsley became our charter memberi' on the First Team, iwhile C. Draper, I. Neer, and B. Crowe made the squad. C. Draper played regularly on the Second Team. In 1928, M. Kingsley shone as jumping center. B. Crowe joined the First Teamg likewise, C. Draper, who captained a near-championship team, I. Neer and E. Kennedy made the Second Team. This year, M. Kingsley, now our captain, C. Draper, B. Crowe, and M. Haskell represented us on the First Team, and I. Neer and E. Kennedy again played on the Second Team. Although the scores for the 1928-'29 season would indicate that this has been a hard luck year, they show to a slight extent the excitement that prevailed. Two of our three defeats came in the last minute of playing, when we lost by just one basket. The First Team lineup for 1929 was as follows: jc., May Kingsley Ccapl.D'29 f., Barbara Crowe '29 g., Constance Draper '29 sc., Margaret Haskell '29 f., Buberta Bailey '30 g., Ruth Bradley '32 GAMES Brimmer 34 Alumnae 31 Brimmer T7 Lee 20 Brimmer 19 Brimmer 32 Brimmer 36 Brimmer 53 at Milton 40 Winsor 34 May 38 Lee 8 Forly-lhr l'uf14' l urIy1f1mr W-q 5 -1 1. ., ,-- , lu 4 Q .

Iil,I.r:x K lax x is DY '29 mania or TALES OF MARGARET AND ELLEN HE Class of '29 has captured as many honors in tennis as it has in other sports, thanks to our two outstanding stars, M. Haskell and E. Kennedy. In 1927, Margaret and Ellen were runners-up in the annual doubles tournament. In the fall of 1927 Margaret won the tennis singles championship over Ellen after a strenuous match. That spring the doubles match again went to Margaret and Ellen. Because the tournament this fall was the first ever to be played off on our new playground courts, the interest in the matches was enhanced. Again it was a case of Margaret versus Ellen. To Margaret went the cupg to Ellen, the medal. '30 and '31, you may now take hope! Next fall this famous pair will be alumnae in the wide, wide world. Paqe Forty M uw Hi Will JW!!!

LE 1 x NFL R Elnllp Elests uf ZBrimmer IN CE the reporter of the Class Play was behind the scenes, and only the roars of laughter from the audience signified that all was going successfully, it is with thanks to Brimmerwriles that she presents the write-up! The program comprised a series of four sketches and one special dance number. First came The Daily Doesn't, in which M. Hawes portrayed admirablyzthe leisurely physical culture director, who, while enjoying breakfast in bed, gave his radio audience a series of strenuous setting-up exer- cises. B. Holloway, as his wife, put a speedy end to his luxurious laziness at the close of the act. Following this, E. Baker and C. Draper, two natty Jack Tars, did a Sailor's Hornpipe. Then came Etiquette, a sketch laid in Atlantic City, where C. White, an attractive but business-like book- agent, inveigled M. Kingsley, the good-looking masculine victim, into buying her volume of social suggestions. Next in order came an original sketch, HG. W. Looks and Listens, composed largely by E. Baker and C. Draper. L. Morse, from her exalted position on a thoroughbred gym horse, portrayed the Statue of Washington in the Public Gardens, and followed with interest the amusing news revealed about the teachers and girls at Brimmer. Green Chartreusef, a modern mystery thriller, brought the program to a most exciting close. H. Idell, E. Kennedy, and I. Neer took their parts in professional manner, but the off-stage actors who played thunder, lightning, rain, and the other incidentals, likewise deserve credit. Viewing the performance impersonally, from the time 1928's non-transparent curtains were parted-for the first time in history I-on the opening scene, till they were drawn noiselessly together at the conclusion of the performance, the production was a success because of three vital factors: long and careful preparation, good management, and a spirit of cooperation on the part of the class. To the efficient direction of S. Quinn and B. Floyd great praise is due, likewise, commendation should be made of the thorough work of B. White,l-and T. Dodge, too, says the Editorl, stage managers, who helped to make possible so finished and charming a presentation -we really heard it called that! '29 hereby pats herself on the back, and challenges '30 and all succeeding generations to keep up the tradition of a First Class play! Page For ly-seven S'l'l DICNT GUI NCI I. l'm14' lfnrlv rlllfll Stuhznt Gnhernment S for Student Government this year, we have had the usual difficulties and problems-perhaps to a less degree than formerly, as our record for the year gleams with an amazingly large num- ber of gold stars. In this day of statistics, a few definite figures from our Demerit Record will not be out of order. Considering the whole school first, the aggregate of eighty-seven gold, twenty- eight silver, seven blue, and three red stars, speaks for itself. Do all these gold stars mean a lenient government or particularly good behavior? We hope the latter! As for the shield awarded to the class with the best record for the year, there is close competition between Class III with only three demerits and Class V with but four demerits. The other classes have the following record: Class IV, eleven demerits, Class II, fifteen demerits, and Class I, eighteen demerits. Some of our most amusing problems have been such as these: 1. How to keep girls from lolling on those warm, comfortable window-seats during study periods. 2. How to prevent that mad rush down to the dining-room at 1:30. 3. How to teach those would be artists that Wednesday, fourth period, is the time for singing and not for illustrating their music books. fl. How to save the desks in the study hall, when, after lunch, some of the younger children decide to play tag. 5. How to save the teachers from nervous prostration, when piercing shrieks are heard through the hall, and girls are seen hanging over the window ledges, as if somebody had fallen out, when the cause of the uproar is only a snappy roadster on the street below. One new problem which might easily have arisen when Miss Cummings and Miss Pickering granted us two nice new mirrors for the dressing-room, never developed, for the girls did not flock to the dressing room in study periods, thus showing their appreciation in ways they hadn't ought to! Considering everything, we can not complain of the way things have gone this year, and we look for a bright future for you, 1930! Page Forl 'NZINIC ISU Brimmzrtnrites GAIN Brimmerwriies has done the usual thing-the usual number of trips to the printer, the usual number of issues, and the usual number of contests! The unusual, however, was achieved by Nancy Nelson, '33, in designing a new cover for the magazine, for which she was awarded the only gold Scop pin given this year, up to the time our class book went to press. The design sub- mitted by N. Madeira '30 won second place, and S. Coe's, honorable mention. The second Scop contest, although much promise was shown, no youthful contributor attained the high standard set by the Society, and for this reason only silver pins were awarded. New Scop members for 1929 are: Nancy Nelson, '33, Wendie Morison, '32, and Sally Wilbur, Grade IV. New board mem- bers awarded Scop pins were Carol Hanson, '29, Serena Coe, '30, Eileen Phillips, '30, and Frances Norton, '31. Page F fly Qlllass Brupbecp N 1940, when I had at last recuperated from the burdensome duty of writing the prophecy for the Class of '29, the doctors deemed me fit to take a trip to Philadelphia. On my way to the train, as l walked through the Public Gardens, whom should I see sailing in one of the swan boats but Carol While! In answer to my call, she sailed over to the edge of the pond, and explained that she was experimenting with her latest remedy for mal de mer. I wanted to talk over old times with her, but I could'not linger, as I had only thirty seconds to make my train at Back Bay. While lurching down the aisle in my car, I chanced to notice a charming young matron surrounded by her three children. I thought she looked very familiar but when she spoke-who else, but Betty Floyd! She had married an excavator, who was then at work in Egypt. As the Spring term at Brimmer had just concluded, she and her children were going over to join him. However, they intended to stop at Rome, because Betty thought the children were none too young to start right in learning all about that illustrious old city-the eldest child, by the way, had just attained the ripe age of six years. Betty told me that Margaret Haskell was very successful as dean of her Alma Mater, Bryn Mawr, and in odd moments was writing 510,000 essays on such subjects as: Why Parents Should Not Influence Their Children's Ambitionsn and How One Should Behave on a Train. Betty also reported that Elizabeth Sawyer had just opened the world's largest dog kennel in Kalamazoo. Then we talked at some length about the excellent line of goods Betty White was carrying in her 3-, 6-, and 9-cent stores and the great amount of wealth she had amassed therefrom. May Kingsley, who had acquired fame for her daring feats in horsemanship had found that the circus afforded her the best chance to indulge her pet hobby, doing stunt acts on the backs of wild bronchos which she had brought on from her dude ranch in the West. Having reached New York, I had to say good-bye to Betty and wished her Bon Voyage. I q FU'ly-Iwo Being possessed with a great passion for New York stores, I decided to go window-shopping. As I was going down Fifth Avenue, I noticed a cute shop called Patty Ann's, and I thought I would go in to see what they had in the way of sport dresses. To my great surprise, I was met by Marie Buff, who, I soon discovered, had gone into partnership with Helen Graves in this most flourishing business establishment. Poor Helen Graves! Because she had strained her eyes at too many movies, she had had to put on glasses and give up her position as critic of all the Movie maga- zines of America. However, with characteristic energy and enthusiasm she had joined Marie at Patty Ann's in order to take up the time. During the course of our long chat together, Marie told me that Madeline Hawes and her debonair husband had just left the shop a few minutes before. They were about to make a tour of the world, mostly by air. Finally, I had to rush along to get some theatre tickets, and I had just left Marie's attractive shop when- Extra! Extra! hollered a newsboy, right in my ear. Ellen Kennedy wins tennis singles at the Olympics. Well! Well! She's still at it, thought I. At the box office, whom should I see but Isabelle Neer. Before I could say a word, she had introduced me to her director, and I sooned learned from him that she was one of Hollywood's most famous dancers. Through Isabelle, I discovered that Barbara Crowe, besides doing missionary work in Russia, had organized troops of girl scouts throughout that nation, and Carrot-top Ellen Barbour had started a home for The Aged in Abyssinia, where, quite in contrast to her earlier predilections, she was now encouraging sewing and the reading of Barrie's Plays, but she still per- mitted horseback riding and aeronautics. After getting my tickets I went to the Grand Central for my luggage. At the baggage room I met Sally Quinn who was going to take a late train to Philadelphia, but just what her mission was therwthat was a secret. She said that she had been visiting Lois Morse for a few days at her apartment on Morningside Drive. Lois had become very successful as editor of the well-known magazine Vanity F air.'i Having procured a good seat and comfortably arranged myself at the theatre that night, I leisurely scanned my programme and recognized many of the names of my classmates who had now acquired fame in the theatrical world. On the very first page I read: Staging and directing under the supervision of Theresa Dodge. This met with my hearty approval, and made me decide that Page Fifi lh I was going to like the play. First, however, came a Pathe News reel, in which I saw Constance Draper-world-famous aviatrix-who had just made a very daring and hazardous flight to the North Pole. One picture showed Connie pumping the President's hand, and in another she was taking off in her plane the Cooperation The next picture on the news reel was of Helen Idell- Women's Champion Marathon Runner-in action. Then there was a slow motion of her to show just how she did it. Next, a picture of Ellen Baker, a second Annette Kellerman, flashed on the screen. She gave an exhibition of a swan dive with such perfect grace and form as to make any one envious. The news items continued with a few less important matters such as a cyclone in Japan and a flood on the Sahara Desert, and then the curtain rose on the vaudeville performance. The first entertainer was a ventriloquist who, to my great surprise, turned out to be Carol Hanson. I just knew you were holding out on us, I said to myself, as I clapped her loudly at the end of the act. The next item was by Ruth Garrod, well-known elocutionist, who gave two very good readings, one on a little paper boy and the other-Ma and Pa Finnegan. The last act was difficult trapeze work performed by Beverly Holloway. It reminded me of the Tuesdays in 1929 when she sur- mounted our gym apparatus with such comfort and ease. After the play, as I had been very much entertained with the exceedingly clever performance so well supervised by Theresa Dodge, I decided to go back stage to congratulate my old classmates. However, I didn't find it as easy to meet them as it had once been in our old locker rooms at Brimmer -one needed a card of introduction to procure a tete-a-tete with famous actresses. While my calling card was seeking admission, I took advantage of the opportunity of telling the world what eleven years had done for the prosperity of the Class of '29.
