She talks about anything from little bugs and insects up to college professors. And how fast she chatters! She hardly stops for breath. Movies and games, altho she likes them, would have little attraction if she wasn't allowed to talk during, them. She is going to Kingston in the fall. but has not decided yet what course she will take. FRANCES BOWERMAN G. A. A. Q11 Q21 Q31 Q4-1: Thyrsus Club Q11 Q21 Q317 Treasurer Ci. A. A.

Sir Stanley Wright Atkinson is a genuine radio bug of the z.. r '- '- ' ' Rf i Committee C41 . -4 5 . l type that never sleeps. One day he dashed into the lunch room i and loudly demanded two audio frequency tubes with mustard W - and a bottle of No. 22 copper wire. After convincing the stu- in 'A dents that he was harmless, Stan was allowed to remain in school. His work on the track squad is memorable. This spring he bids fair to make the team. Stan is planning to attend a radio school and to become a radio engineer.

C11 C21 C31 C41 3 Good English League C11. Earnest started his career at the age of 4W, when he assumed the role of innocence with an empty jam jar under the couch: next the child prodigy recited verse to large audiences. In High School he perfected his dramatic career, his running as a track candidate, and his Hne voice as an orator. He has lately devel- oped into a capable business manager of this book. Doc tells us he is going to Kingston, with M. l. T. as his ultimate goal. RUTH FRANCES BARNES T .. G. A. A. C11 C21 C31 C412 Thyrsus Club C31 C41: Library . J . - -I If an impressionist should paint a picture of Ruth's mind, it fl would be a tennis racket across a book. for these are her two main interests in life, developing her mind with her books, and V1 her body with playing tennis. Our earliest recollection of 'I Ruth's talent was when she used to favor us in Kindergarten with piano solos. She still is quite accomplished along that ., line. She must prefer the domestic to the line arts, for next . year she goes to Kingston to learn to be a good-we won't Q say what-but she is to study Domestic Science.

FLORENCE EDNA BRINKERHOFF G. A. A. KID: Thyrsus Club CID C29 131. Florence says she really has no hobby, altho dancing, auto- mobile riding. her club. and Norman interest her most: nor no shining virtue. unless it be her nose: but she has a pet antipathy to English. Many are the times we have heard her denouncing vehemently such illustrious men as Milton and Macbeth. She is given over at times to moods, sometimes carefree and happy. sometimes downhearted and worried, but she is always very sympathetic. She has not yet decided on her future. ALICE ELAINE BURDON G. A. A. 145. Although Elaine has been with us but a year, her pleasant, straight-forward manner has won her many friends. She enjoys dancing, plays the mandolin and ukeleli, enjoys seeing a good moving picture. and delights in driving her father's Ford. One needs no further evidence to gather that she is a typical girl of the age. She is well known for her beautiful eyes and incessant conversation. Elaine tells us that she has set teaching as her goal. MARY CATHERINE CHISHOLM Thyfsus Club up qzp 433: G. A. A. up 425 on 445. Catherine left us last January and somehow Cranston seemed a very gloomy place for several weeks. But Cat longed for her delightful corner in Room I3 and for the many friends she had made here: so she came back to us one morning and the world seemed right again. She delights in dancing, skating, and all outdoor sports. She plans to enter the business world, but it is hard to imagine our fun-loving Cat shut into an office. However, she may change her mind in regard to her career. as she changed it when she left us in January. l17l
