1929 CLASS BOOK THE SENIOR CLASS RUTH GARROD Circulation and New Features Com- mittees of Class Book Page Twenty RUTH FRANCES GARROD Address-35 Powder House Terrace, West Somerville, Mass. BUTH. P1UTH1E Enlered, September 1928 Born, January 1, 1911 She might be silenl, and not cas! away Her senlences in voice. -Ben Jonson Although Ruth is a very unobtrusive member of our class, she seems to observe far more closely than most of us the drift of the world about her. 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.
