It is in these subjects that she has been an especial star, bringing credit to the class, while in her other studies, likewise, she has always stood well.

Ruth has always been one of our brightest stars, being chosen for her scholarship to speak at graduation, and also elected class historian. Her work on the Ac- ademe as exchange editor and contributor to the Dru has been especially valuable, while the part she took in the farces was proof of her ability in other lines. Next year she will display her brilliancy at Wellesley.
