Few know her for her natural retentivity, but there is no doubt that if all were known it would be more than a few sentences. She is faithful in her school work, and is also one to go to if one needs help, as she is always ready with a helping hand, no matter what aid is asked for. Although there is no doubt that she will succeed, yet there will be few who know her deepest attainments, as she is one who believes that ‘‘Silence is golden.’’ 28

The world is a comedy to those irlto lltinlc. — Wai polk AGNES GIBBONS “Gibbie” “Aggie” Glee Club, 3, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4 (Capt. 4); Student Staff, 3, 4,; Class Book Staff; Secretary of Class, 3, 4; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Secretary, A, A. ‘‘Gibby” is one of the most popular girls in our class. Always ready, as secretary, to help 1916 through her many difficulties, “Aggie’’ is perhaps the only girl in the class who has the undivided confidence of her classmates. Her scholarship was excellent, but — possessed of a rather mis- chievous nature — she was not slow to see a joke and, perchance, to partake of it. We have sus])icions that, in company with her colleague. Hazel, she was responsible for many a little ‘‘feed.” She was the feminine athletic mainstay of her class, captaining the 1916 basketball team on to victory In fact, so successful were her efforts with that team that she was urged to organize a field- hockey team, but — nothing doing. Reason — “too many other things.” “Gibby’’ is undecided on where she v.ill go next year, but on account of her athletic inclination, Sargent School is a probable ‘‘alma mater.” 27

Tltc l)lessi}ifi of earth is toil. — Van Dyke MARIE GIBBONS “Gibby” Junior Prom Committee. Marie is one of the best students of the class. She is of a modest and retiring disposition but at all times ready to appreciate a joke. She displayed her school spirit by supporting the A. A. and serving on various class committees. IMarie’s skill in the arts and crafts line deserves no small credit, and her articles at the State exhibition in Springfield won praise and commendation from the judges. Those of us who have penetrated the outer reserve and are within the inner circle of Marie’s friends appreciate her true char- acter and realize that no one could quite fill “our little Marie’s” place among us. 29
