THE AMETHYST DORIS KNEELAND Q Course: Classical ' Activities: Glee Club. Hobby: Music. Ambition: To study music. School: Westbrook Seminary. We can't truthfully say that Doris has ever been conspicuous. We thought she was one of our quiet domestic young things, but we find that she has been deceiving us all along. Her friends say, Oh, you clon't know her, she's much more exciting when you get her alone. Uh, ha? We'll call around some evening. HAROLD LAWRENCE Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets lg Orchestra 3, 43 Band 3, 43 C-adet Band 3, 4. Hobby: Music. Ambition: Chemical Engineer. Who said, The used key is always bright ? Someone that knew Harold, I'll bet. Never mind, Red, so long as your fiery-colored hair doesn't airtect your sweet disposition. Harold pays three instru- ments very skilfully: victrola, pianola, and clarinet. PAMELIA LEIGHTON Pam Course : College Activities: Art Club 33 Breccia Board 4: Student Service 4: Bas- ketball 4. Hobby: Riding Horseback. College: Bates. Take a little pep, a lot of knowledge, plenty of pluck, a sprinkling of fun and mix thoroughly. Add enough more fun and some friendli- ness to make the mixture very palatable, and what do you get? Why! Pam Leighton, of course. KITTY DEERING Course: Special Activities: School Plaything: High Soprano in Glee Club 4: Cheer Leader 4. Hobby: Pursuing wild game and interrupting tense moments in classes. Ambition: To sleep in the janitor's hat and own a fish market. College: RatcliEe. Paws, classmates, paws. Purrhaps some of you m-ay feel Kitty to be undeserving of this honor. She did have to come up to the scratch. But we ask you, who was it braved Mr. Linscott's sarcasm, Mrs. Say- wardls disgust, Miss Stahl's wrath, all for the pleasure of being carried to class in Guppy's arms? KITTY! GEORGE LEMOINE Don Course: College Activities: Hockey 3, Track 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4: Football 43 French Play 4: Exec. Committee 4. Hobby : Dancing. Ambition : To be a good dancer. College: Princeton. We've only known this .Don Lemoine for .just a little while, But everybody knows him by the Sunshine of His Smile. You would think that he was noted, from the letters that he sends: He writes to Valentino, and a hundred other friends. He says he hates the women, but it's not true, we know, lf we should go to Boston they'd probably tell us so.

EKQ Ig DEERING HIGH SCHOOL JOHN I-IAVILAND Course: Classical Activities: Debating Club 1, 2, 3, 4, First Lieut. of Band 1, 2, 33 Orchestra 1, 25 Cadets 1, 2: Breccia Board 4. Hobby: Hunting. College: Cornell. This, gentle readers, is John Haviland, a six-foot disciple of John Burroughs and Artemus Ward. He knows where the flies go in September, why a bunny has long ears, and can imitate the melodious spring song of the crow. Trapper, hunter, taxidermist, photographer, mechanic farmer,-and humorist, but, like Artemus, he sometimes leaves you wondering whether he lacks a sense of humor or you do. GORDON HODGKINS Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets 1, 2. Hobby :. All forms of outdoor sports. Ambition: To be an electrical engineer. College: B. U. or Renssalaer Polytechnic. Behold the original of the Arrow Collar ads ! Between sittiws Gordon h-as to do a little something, so he specializes in history. e can see him with long gray beard and specs bending over a pon- derous tome-we can not! He isn't made for that kind of life, not hel He's a pretty smooth article, ladies and gentlemen, smooth like his hair. WINFIELD HODGKINS W in Soak Course : General Activities: Football 45 Geology Club, D Club 4. Ambition: To be a painter. Sock is a quiet little boy when he's in school, but outside-oh, well, that's different. He used to go up to Westbrook Seminary evenings last fall, but he got over that, too. Sock is a good football player even if he does throw an awful line. P. S. Winfield is now following his fatheris footsteps, Hgreasing houses -to quote verbatim. MARIETTA HOWLAND Course: General Activities: Art Club 33 Glee Club 3, 43 Junior Club 43 Debating Club 33 Yearbook Board 4, Class Play 4. Hobbies: Dancing and swimming. Ambition: To become famous. College or School: Pratt School of Fine Arts. Is that Barney Google? No, it's Marietta Howland dressed up. Who is the crabbed old maid in the Class Play? Marietta Howland, girls! Isn,t she great? Give her a piano or a violin or a ukelele or just let her giggle, and she'll make the prettiest music you ever heard. ETHEL JORDAN 'Y X Course: General . ' Activities: Student Service. Hobby: Dancing. Ambition: To beateacher. School: Gorham Normal. She is modest, she is-shy, But there's mischief in her eye. If we'were to write a grind according to Ethel's size, it would be very petite indeed. That such a little person is planning to become a teacher seems laughable, but Ethel has a chance, as Great oaks from little acorns grow. '

College: Farmington Normal. Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever. Ada has never received fame in the Breccia for making dumb remarks in classes, had no place in the Hunk list, and never kept the teachers busy telephoning to see where she was last periodg hence she isa hard nut for the scandal-collecting grind committee to crack. When Ada has been graduated from Farmington Normal and is sitting before her class in jogafry, the youngsters will have at least one thing in the room worth looking at! DOROTHY E. LEVENSELLER Dottie Course: College Activities: Girls? Tkrackg Hockeyg Basketball: Student Service: Breccia', Board. Hobby: Pictures. Ambition: To travel. College or School: New York Institute of Photography. Oh! Dottie, like Hamlet, we are ill at these numbers. How are we ever going to write this grind, which must, whatever we say, be said in the superlative? With you there can be no half measures. Either you adore or you detest, hate or love. A little tem- perarnental, maybe? But we dare not say more, we think we've glimpsed a bit of red in your hair. MARGUERITE LIBBY a Margie Course: Classical Hobby: Skiing and swimming. Ambition: To be a physical director. This, ladies and gentlemen, is Marguerite Libby, whose motto is, Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet. She counts calories every time she goes to the lunch room and at present writing is way ui in the millions. Don't you mind if we do tease you, Margie, we li e you, fat or thin, gay or sad, long or short. - VERLIE LIBBYx Course : Commercial Verlie is that tall, willowy, sandy-haired, interesting-looking girl with the pink eyes. We understand that she paints pictures instead of her face-AND leads a very interesting life outside of school. EMERSON LITTLE Course: Commercial Activities: Cadets 2, 3. Hobby: Radio. Everybody calls you Little, But we think it wrong, becuz You could eat lyour lunch from the housetops, - No matter w ere you wuz.
