MARIE BARON Class Stunt 2, 3. Revival Plaq. Menorah Soaetq. Here ' s to one of the best dressed girls in Emerson. We wonder how Marie ever gets her lessons, she never knows the assignment until two minutes before class: however, we are willing to admit that she does get them, which is the important thing after all. VERA BRECKENRIDGE Canadian Club 3. 4. Once more Canada bestows upon Emerson an intellectual miss, possessing a quiet dreamy air, and a charming personality. She is only five feet two. eyes of blue but beware of her in debate: her keen wit will cut any argument into splinters. She quietly slipped into her place in our company: suffice it to say that we like her. GENA BROWN Recitals 3. With a keen interest in both the play and the players of this drama. Gena has proved her- self a true Emersonian. Although Gena has fallen down, literally, several times in her college career, she has never fallen down in her work, and we feel sure she never will. MILDRED BUCHANAN. D M F Freshman Stunt Committe e. Class Treasurer 3. Junior-Senior Debate 3. Senior Vice President. Revival Play. Forensic Union 3, 4. Recitals 2, 3, 4. A prominent member of the cast, with a personality individual as it is attractive. Although Millie keeps herself secluded from us except during classes, we find her outstanding there. A talented actress, a keen debater, and a sincere friend. Life would have to be hard indeed to break down such strong fortifications. BEVERLY BULLOCK Sec’y Commuter’s Club. Class Stunts . 3. Revival Play. Student Government Representative 4. It would be hard to separate Beverly from her gum. Perhaps the incessant chewing gives her energy, certainly she displays that characteristic in all she undertakes. We hope she won ' t forsake the Purple and Gold of Emerson for the Green and White of — well, any other institution. Page Seventeen

Senior Class History The curtain is slowly descending on the last act of the Drama of the Class of 1932. Let us review the former acts, and recall some of our greatest suc- cesses. 7 he first act takes places in 1 928. It is late fall. Ninety Freshmen have just enrolled as actors in the great drama that unrolls before us. The first im- portant event in the lives of these actors was the Freshman Stunt, written by one of the talented stars of the play. 7 ' he second act has for its scene the Halls of Emerson, as did the first. It is again in the fall of the year, but the year is 19 30. The Pantomime produced during this act is still being discussed in this school. Of course a dance must grace the year, and so it did. The Sophomore Hop was a great success. By this time some of the actors have left the play to seek careers elsewhere. There are many loyal ones who are left, however, and they carry on to the third act of this performance. Act three takes place in October, 1931. The test of the actors came in the production of the inevitable Year Book. Much concentrated work ensued, and finally a dream became a reality — the ‘ ' Emersonian ’ was a success. The next calendar date of Junior importance was the program for Junior Week. There was a Debate, a highly entertaining Sailor Chorus and Mutiny, and a Stunt: lastly the Junior Promenade which completed the big week. Act four at last! With God of our Fathers’’ and ‘‘O such a commotion’’ voices the Supreme Seniors with daring dignity approach the throne vacated by the Class of 1931. A few weeks of effort pass, and once more a Revival Play is cast. ‘‘The Man of Mode’’ has its brief time in the spot light, and is over. The climax of the play comes with Commencement. There is, of course, a Commencement Play, Recitals, Teas, Diplomas, and the curtain descends on this Drama, A better Drama awaits the actors. Page Sixteen

She is always ready for anything that promises a good time, and better yet. always willing to help in any worthy enterprise. If you do not know Phyl, you have missed a great deal.
