Pam Pammy 34 Foster Street Littleton, Mass. Had I been present at the creation, I could have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the universe. Qamsfa gjzouffy -Alfonso X Pam joined us in the 7th grade and immediately distinguished herself by reading more books than everyone else in the Lower School put together. Since then she has gone on to greater glories. Although she has been known to tear her hair over seating charts, her efficiency as head of Chorus is unsurpassed and the Choir Altos would be lost without her. Music is not her only interest, however, her skill in other fields is not quite so dependable and you can often hear screams of rage coming from the tennis courts as Pammy slams another into the river. For a supposedly naive schoolgirl who is as yet unhardened by the cruel world she has some attitudes which most people find shockingly materialistic, but she defends them violently. Pam has a pretty violent opinion about everything which can usually be summed up with a loud Honestly! Noon time finds her in the jabberwock bartering the contents of her lunch box. She is notorious for sharp deals and her victims are not limited to day girls. Whenever the dining room is serving ice cream, you can bet some unsuspecting boarder will have been jilted out of her meal. But every so often she gives an enormous class party which more than repays everyone for swindled sandwichs and shows that Pammy does like to kick up her heels once in a while.

Bafincfa fpfaaaanfs Binnie Groton School Groton, Mass. But you were something more than young and sweet And fair, - and the long year remembers you. - Edna St.Vifzce1zl Millay Binnie came in the seventh grade as one of the numerous B8cM commuters, and joined the rest of us in the lowly lower school. Today she still upholds the honor of the Groton contingent although its numbers have diminished considerably. Our tall dark one possesses the longest pair of legs in the class, which have proved disastrous to many a visiting varsity team. She excels at hockey, basketball and lacrosse. But her talents are certainly not limited to athleticsg she has been a loyal supporter of octet and choir and was president in Class V. Her dimples are a constant source of envy and she-is one of those lucky people who never has to worry about POUNDS. fMost of us still haven't learned how she manages to wear a sack and not have it look like one.j Belonging to two different campuses could present a problem, but Binnie has managed to divide her affections quite fairly, although we suspect she's not always as impartial as she should be. Bin is one of the quieter members of the class, and she has contributed an element of dependable stability during her years at C. A.

Hey, Joelu and Beth scrambled under the barbed-wire fence into Miss Wagner's seventh grade. Her first impression mustn't have been altogether satisfactory as a quick trip to Siberia resulted. However, two weeks later she returned to begin her reign of terror. Beth's domestic abilities were soon discovered by the class . . . trails of Ajax . . . tattered shades . . . and the plumber frequented Bradford House that seventh grade year. Looking into the future Beth saw that Senior Pressurel' would be bad if she didn't settle down quite a bit. She thus began to excel in dramatics. Her roles in the operettas and Groton play won her great acclaim. Beth's interests ran toward athletics too. As one of the charter members of the hockey and softball varsities, and as Blue captain in Class Il, her assets have been great. In winter Beth could be found on the slopes of N. E. with multi wolves on her skis and her adventures as a mousketeer must not be overlooked. Vvroooooom - Thus our comrade arrived on the fall of her senior year. Complete with goggles, three M-Sex sweaters and a loden coat, she zooms into the parking lot. The vehicle, although it closely resembles the ICBM for which her clan is so well noted, is more commonly known as the l'Blue Beastu. Beth heads the successful Dance Com- mittee, is renowned for her lovely biology dissections and is indeed the Madame Dufarge of our class. QShe has been knitting on a wee green garment for ever so long and with ever so much care and we do hope it will be done before she leaves Concordj. Thus we bid our comrade adieu, but few of us will forget her hilarious imitations of Victor Borge, her marvelous wit and her faith in her own beliefs. fShelll even punch you in the nose to make her pointlj Efizafisfg Blaotrsz was B eih C omrfzde Sandy Pond Road Lincoln, Mass.
