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

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

THE EMERSONIAN i93 1 EVA FLEISH MASSACHUSETTS Petite and unobtrusive, Eva has nevertheless gained friends. She doesn ' t make much noise get- ting there, but she is always in the right place at the right time. Eva is one of the short ends of a familiar trio. One of the great treats we hope the Recreation Club will stage in the near future is a wrestling match between Birdie and Eva. Menorah Society; Junior Song Day. MARGUERITE FOX RHODE ISLAND Who would suppose the quiet, conscientious Marguerite could harbor such a quick wit, such keen power of analysis of the people around her? We aren’t afraid of her discerning eye, for she’s far too altruistic and kindhearted to really harbor any unkind thoughts about us. Her ambition is to impart dramatic technique to unworthy little urchins, proving that after all these years, Mar- guerite is still an idealist. EDITH GAMPEROLI MASSACHUSETTS Remember the cute “male” pianist in Junior Song Day? ’Twas Edith. We’ve always taken Wednesday Chapel and Edith for granted, and when for some reason she is not at the piano, we stand helpless until she is found. Emerson owes her one of its songs, and we, knowing her these four years, have found that she has talents along other than musical lines. Edith’s scientific budget system will always remain a mystery to us. Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; Senior Recitals. JANE GILBERT MASSACHUSETTS For a long time Jane managed to fool us with her quiet unobstrutive manner, but we now feel confident in prophesying success and plenty of it for this capable dark-eyed girl. If you ever need a quiet talk, sympathy, or the best of advice you will always find Jane ready to do all she can. Class Stunt 1 , 2 , 3 ; President of Commuter’s Club; Com- muter’s Club Play; Commencement Pageant. Page Twenty-one
