HELEN AVERY Onece an artistic soul with a predilec- tion for discovering true worth in under classmen exclaimed, Do you know Helen Avery is beautifulshe has the most perfect complexion on cam- pus I This was supposed to be a breath- taking revelation, but unfortunately for the dramatic effect, it wasn't. The News, annual honors, The Quarterly, various and sundry sorts of athleticsby these signs do they know her. They have served to show her de- sire to not only keep up existing stand- ards, but to raise them, her conscien- er ability to do a number of things. If it were only possible to fun at Helen for some of the less serious moments of her life, spent her four years off campus, thus keeping aloof from the 'd. She looks as though she viewed the foibles and frivolity of generation from afar, as though its sinsas she glimpsed them ace on Council, were completely beyond her comprehension e were shocked behind her glasses at their existence. 26

MURIEL ASHCROFT There is one very definite thing about Murielshe lives in Vinaland when anyone lives in the cottage, nothing else is very definite to the campus dweller. For four years Muriel has occupied a totally unique place in our class. She has led the long staggering lines of our gym class.

ETHEL AYRES Ethel is one of those small but, oh my! persons, and incidentally is quite the essence of that unruffled dignity be- coming to a Senior, to say nothing of a House President. This dignity is not lacking even in such difficult circum- stances as the maintaining of diplomatic relations among the Blackstonites. She's pretty, she's sweet, She's clever, she's neat enforced by a string of flattering adjec- tives, is in keeping with those senti- J ments generally expressed in most write-ups, in most class books. One should continue: Everybody likes her; she's dainty, demure, sweet and gracious. Contemplating the four years without herwell, the idea is impossible! and so on. But, after having made up our minds not to write the usual stuff this year, we are forced to exercise our rights and change it. Ethel really is all the nice things they write about girls who often really aren't. 27
