. We 'jr M aims me fs jf . RUTH MARIE GRADY 58 WALTON ST., Cmcopnn, Mass. True the ir and kind. One of the best reasons why our class is perpetually-well, almost perpetually-in good humor is Ruth. She can come out of a Methods exam smiling. She can make any class a pleasure by an original remark. We like herg but more than that we respect her. Ruth is the Senior vice- president. And her advice on any topic is worth following. We have never known her to betray trust. Ruth is as frank and natural as the dawn of a bright morning. In four years of class association, we have discovered that she doe-sn't know how to do a mean thing. We have never detected anything but warmth in her greeting. The Seniors welcome Ruth into any group in the class, glad to have her and her kind humor among them. She was elected Class Prophet for more reasons than one. Besides being able to write entertainingly fshe is on the year-book staffj, she is wise in her judgments, kind in her criticisms, and delightful in her subtle observations. Ruth will be loyal to her class and her college. Sure we are of that. In saying that we will never forget her, we feel in our hearts that Ruth will never forget us. She will laugh with us to the very end: Ruth will, and even times of depression will never dim her smile. In her, we give the world a tried and true apostle of good cheer.

ELMATA tx fa IRENE CLAIRE GLISTA ENFIELD Sr ENFIELD, CONN. ebtcabvix- we 'Qllenj lJerzrl.t will merrily claim I eu Irene--she of the fetching smile that reveals a row of even, white teeth-is and was from the first such a happy. carefree girl that even the terrors of the classroom did not put these qualities to flight. Nothing ever did cloud 'Rene's sunny disposition-not even when the rest of us would be feeling blue would 'Rene yield to so unworthy a sentiment, rather she'd be more cheerful than ever. Somehow her pleasantness and joyousness would chase our dull care and worry away. Having no sympathy with gloom, 'Rene always saw the funny side of things and this was most fortunate for her classmates, for she imbued them with this same merry spirit. Ever-ready with her infectious smile and light-hearted spirit, she made many a day happy for us: old man gloom never won even a glance from this child of the ready smile and cheery word. 'Rene was always so full of fun and so mischievious that she made us get our little imps nf mischief busy too. Her innocent look concealed the guilt of many an innocent prank. Be assured that, wherever 'Rene may go, she'll continue to scatter sunshine and that jest and joyful iollity coupled with happiness will ever be synonymous with her.

Emma ... -.... ...., CN f? I x.. QM fwjhi 4' FRANCES DOLORES HARDIMAN Sail PARK Avu., WoRcEsrER, Mass. HFIYZIIH ll 11.11 :ml ttnllw. If uw 1101 flctzrezz. ll unit nfviielf lfnll ,tang Ill me. Fran is one of those exceptional characters who finds joy in just being alive. She doesn't spend her time seeking for thrills, and yet she always seems to be enjoying herself. lt is her own sunny personality which makes life so worthwhile for her, and so much happier for her friends. Her pleasing smile radiates kindness and understanding, and to her it is always more blessed to give than to receive. XX'hen we first met Fran, we said, Ah, here is a student, meaning, of course, the grindy. fussy type of student. And did Fran fulfill our expectations! Not a bit! Studious though she is at times, Fran never gave us any alarms that she would develop into a type, prim and begoggled, that terrilies and horrilies an occasional classroom. She has demonstrated very often that Brevity is the soul of wit. Fran has always been a true friend, a good sport, and a pleasing companion. We always have told her that her temper matched her hair, but we were fooling all the while. We say truthfully now, One of the sunniest dispositions in the class! Fran has always seemed to us like one of her beautiful violin pieces, tender, soothing and lilting. Long after the violin has ceased to send forth its song, the melody lingers in the heart of those who heard it. Though long years pass before we meet Fran again, she will never leave our hearts and memories.
