Who could be more suitable to smooth over or dissolve the many troubles of a throng of Senior girls? Somehow her unfailing courtesy “and friendly charm make momentary difficulties seem petty and small. Her poise is enviable; gen- tleness is her greatest asset. Besides such qualities, Miss McElroy has an unexcelled facility for making her Eng- lish classes enjoyable. To write themes for her is a pleasure, because we enjoy the individual comments ever forth- coming from her fertile mind. MISS ETHEL G. McELROY DEAN OF SENIOR GIRLS 7 Her cheery smile was a bright spot in our Junior Year. Before we had any dealings with her concerning tardiness or other unpleasant affairs, we felt that she would be not foo severe; that while she would exact the required penalty, she would do it in a manner which we could not resent. And so it proved to be. She has the delightful faculty of becoming intimate with her pupils. She, too, is among the long list’ of friends whom we have made since enter- ing High School. ee 7 MISS MARY E. MURRAY DEAN oF JUNIOR GIRLS Page 13

MR. THOMAS LONG BRAMHALL Assistant Heap MASTER The kind, serious adviser of the year- lings. Always we received a square deal under the splendid leader of our initial year in this High School. Through all that strange and. all-important year which most of us recall as one of the happiest of our School life, it was he, the Master of Freshman, who guided us with a firm and understanding hand: We shall not forget Mr. Downey who, as we can now appreciate, planned so carefully for us in that first year when, dazed and inexperienced, we found our- selves in what was for us unexplored territory, High School life. After strangers have learned of Mr. Bramhall’s tact, good humor, unfailing friendship, and fine character, it is very like a shock to find that this genial master is a learned exponent of such a dry subject as mathematics. Solid geometry, algebra, and trigonometry fall before his onslaught. Sometimes we wonder if his ever-smiling treatment is not the magic that unties those knotty problems. Then, finally, as the highest tribute we can pay to a teacher—he does not super-impose “‘trick’’ tests at inoppor- tune times. MR. TIMOTHY F. Assistant HEADMASTER DOWNEY Page 12

puny TCX eeecicscaceuces= ! pt Have you ever been a member of one of her Latin classes? If not, your edu- cation is incomplete, for certainly there is no experience quite like it. Her lectures are as original as her vocabulary is picturesque and expressive. Besides being amusing, they are extraordinarily effective. : Miss Driscoll’s charm of personality has taken a place in our hearts which will ever remain as a memory to us of her who was our sincere sympathizer, our true friend. MISS ELIZABETH M. DRISCOLL DEAN OF SOPHOMORE GTRLS Among the faculty, there is one woman who, as soon as we entered School, became for us a sort of idol, a kind of goddess. She seemed rather remote, but infinitely admirable. She reassured bewildered parents and man- aged rebellious students efficiently. Somehow she seemed to know each pupil’s activities, a characteristic which added a personal touch to her confer- ences. ‘There could be no finer character to mold the freshman girls than that of Miss Russell. | MISS HILDA RUSSELL as ) DEAN OF FRESHMAN GIRLS OF ; Page 14
