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

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.

RUTH LINDSAY CLOWES G. A. A. C31g Thyrsus Club 131. Ruth has always been the same quiet, rather prim, and accom- modating person that she is now. She loves little children: and whenever possible she has one with her, either in a carriage or by her side. During her stay at C. H. S. she has often received awards for her excellent work in typewriting. Next fall she intends to make use of this ability by going into secretarial work. LUCY ANGELA COLLINS G. A. A.

Q11 C21 Q31 Q41g Thyrsus Club Q21 C31 1413 Nominating Committee 131: Marshal Q31 Q41: Cran- stonian Board fEditor-in-Chief1 C41. Dick is not active in athletics. but has shown the true school spirit by loyally supporting all the student organizations. As a marshal. he has been a terror at dispersing groups of innocent merry makers and stopping runs in the corridors. As an Editor- in-Chief, he has shown remarkable qualities of leadership. Dick has a streak of bashfulness. which appears at odd times: for instance, when approached concerning his future prospects. he became so embarrassed that he could only mumble Uncertain- uncertain. l13l
