THE E M E R S O N I A N 1931 MYRTIE BRACKLEY K r X MAINE This charming young lady is Maine’s gift to Emerson. All of us who saw the Revival Play acknowledge her splendid performance as the other half of the Roman Army. All fooling aside, Bil- lie’s beauty and talent have contributed a great deal to the success of her class. We’re grateful for having had her with us these past four years, though we lament the sacrifice of “the family cow.” Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; Junior Recital ; Revival Play. BIRDIE COHEN NEW JERSEY Birdie’s pleasant manner has made her many friends here at Emerson who will not forget her. We hear that she is going to investigate this “talk- ie” business in Patterson, and we wish her success for she’s been a good sport at college whether clowning for a class stunt, entertaining in Chapel, or helping some classmate out of a tight place. Menorah Society; Junior Stunt; Recitals 2 , 3 , 4 . MARY CONOVER NEW JERSEY When we think of Mary we see a little girl with a big smile and twinkling eyes who is invariably asking for the time. “If you are too small to do big things, do little things in a big way.” Mary’s mischievous eyes belie her powers of serious applica- tion. “Don’t go rapping on doors when you walk in your sleep ; someday you’ll give someone an awful scare, Mary.” Recitals 2 ; Junior Song Day; Revival Play; Forensic Union Treasurer ; Groundling’s Play. GRACE CONSOLETTI MASSACHUSETTS Picture a dark velvety-eyed miss, tiny and slim. That’s Grace. If you want to find her in a hurry, look in the drug store. What greater charm can there be in a woman than her intriguing silence? We often wonder what thoughts lie behind those mysterious eyes of hers. But just to prove she has her frivolous moments, she played the little drum- mer boy in Children’s Theater. Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; Junior Song Day; Revival Play. Page Nineteen

T H E E M E R S O N I A N 1931 SCOTIA BALLARD VIRGINIA “A” grades cause “Sco” no undue excitement. In- formation does not exist if she cannot give it to you — especially about dream psychology. “Sco” has the reputation of having an enormous circle of friends. Just mention any college and she will know someone who knows someone who knows you. Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; Southern Club; Sect y.-Treas. 3 , Presi- dent 4 ; Pice-President Dormitory. CELIA BARRON MASSACHUSETTS Sometimes, provided her friends co-operated, Celia’s diminutive stature enabled her to escape the roving eyes of her instructors. Nevertheless she has made herself especially conspicuous in de- bate, where her fiery tongue and the heat of her argument singe all the fine feathers of her op- ponents. We have learned to depend upon Cel.” We know she has unbounded grit, and when she says she’ll do a thing, she’ll do it. Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; junior Song Day. LEONA ROTHSTEIN BEAL 2 AX PENNSYLVANIA Her classmates are not likely to forget this viva- cious and extremely attractive girl, nor the friend- ships they have formed with her. Always ready to partake in any sort of fun and especially adroit at slipping out of classes when outside interests call, she has now assumed a new dignity which may be attributed to that ring on her left hand. We must admit that her career at Emerson has been that of a truly “Romantic Young Lady.” Vice-President 2 A X 3 ; Senior Recitals ; Class Stunt, i, 3. MARY FRANCES BELL Z t H FLORIDA M ary Bell, the girl from sunny Florida, has proved to be one of the good actresses and readers of the school. Her interest in the school has been most admirable and she promises to do great things. Her wit and humor is delicious, her smile winning, and her spirit unsurpassed. After knowing Mary Bell we realize what Emerson meant when he said, “A friend may well be reckoned a masterpiece of nature.” Recitals 2 , 3 ; Junior Stunt ; Forensic Union ; M ay Fete; Revival Play.

THE EMERSONIAN 1931 MINNIE DORN MASSACHUSETTS M innie suggests earnest work and inevitable ac- complishment to us. We know her for a friendly, sweet-tempered girl, not at all like the wierd for- tune teller we once met in these halls. Cross our palms with silver, Minnie, and we’ll tell you what the stars decree: that the future looks rosy and full of promise for one who has your character and ability. Junior Song Day; Commuter ' s Club; Commuter’s Club Plays. CLYDE DOW I A T MASSACHUSETTS One who sacrifices personality to present truth, who lives in the solidity of sound character, whose introspection leads to self-perfection, whose depend- ability makes him a loyal friend, is Clyde, the “Keeper of the Keys” of Emerson. In leisure hours he hies himself away to partake of lunch at M rs. McKenna’s where “two is company, three’s a crowd.” Class Treasurer 1, 2; Year Book Staff; Revival Play; Treasurer Mens Club; President , Sec.- Treas. $ AT; Class Stunt 1, 2; Recitals 3, 4; President , President ' s Club; Junior Sony Day. ELIZABETH DUNN RHODE ISLAND The longer we know Betty the more sure we are that our first impressions, about turned up noses being the nicest kind, were right. From the num- ber of telephone calls she gets we suspect others are of the same opinion. Betty also has a brogue which she can use most delightfully when occasion demands. Sophomore Stunt ; Junior Stunt. HELEN FISH MARYLAND Dignity combines with mischief in Helen’s make- up. She is one of the rare girls who knows how to get things done on time. One of the folks whom the Gods have made small, but who possesses at the same time, seemingly unlimited knowledge and the ability to apply it. We will never forget her in debate — always a courteous opponent. Class Stunt 1; Year Book Business Manager; Vice- President, President of Dormitory 4; Debate 3, 4; Class Treasurer 4; President Menorah; Vice-President For- ensic Union. Page Tmenty
