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.

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.

THE AMETHYST F7 IRVIN LONG ' nr Our Cwzxeman 'Longieu Course: Commercial Activities: Football 2, 3, 4, 5, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 55 Baseball 1, 2, 43 Track 43 Cadets 1, 25 D Club 4, 59 Breccia Board 4, 5. Hobby: Making the lives of the girls around school more wonderful. Ambition: Not to bother a single girl for a day. CT. Twins, Muriel K., Christie L., Dot G., Alice W., Norm-a G., etc., please take notice.D College: Cornell. Salaam, ladies, before the caveman, the male heart-breaker, the Ru- dolph Valentino of the class of 1924. He has never been known to possess less than four vanity-cases at one time. But why such longing for beauty accessories, Irvin, when you are the possessor of so much natural beauty? The pearly teeth, the raven tresses-but there, we must show more self-control. h Then, too, the dark hero of this rhapsody has other charms. He is the personification of good-nature, and he can play football. No wonder we are all glad he belongs to 1924. HAZEL MARS TON Course : Commercial A dillar, a dollar, A ten-o'clock scholar. . We all might be tempted to live in Cumberland for a few months, if we could report at ten o'clock in the morning and thereby have pretty red cheeks and know our lessons. RAYMOND MASON ffRayI! Course: Commercial Activities: Cadets 1, 25 Radio Club 3. Ray is a ladv's man, girls, but don't you worry. It is Westbrook that he is interested in. We do know t at he used to get to school late on the mornings after. Although Ray hasn't taken part in many activities during his stay in D. H. S., yet he has proved himself to be a good all-round fellow, and we hope that he will stay away from Westbrook long enough to graduate with the rest of us. SILAS McLOON Course: Scientific Hobby: Scouting or swimming. Ambition: To become an electrical engineer. College: Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And yet he seemed busier than he was. Silas, valiant member of the Boy Scouts of America, that fitting school for the High School Calioots, never did nobody no harm, because he never got nowhere in time to do nothing. ALI CE MILLER Course: Commercial Hobby: Moving pictures. Ambition: Stenographer. Hooray, Alice! You won't have to make speeches any more if you don't want to. No, siree, not a single one. That bete noir, oral English, will never sadden another Monday for you. If you don't want to talk when you are a stenographer, you won't have to talk. Business- men like them silent.
