AVCAV XXVIII 3 CLASS '25 BOOK Annie Frieda Guenther Honest labor bears a lovely face If you wish to read any of Shakespeare's plays or Lamb's Essays, seek Annie, and she will give you any book under the sun, for she keeps track of Miss Stratton's English books.

Annie never takes part in school activities, but friends from her home town, Cleghorn, tell us that she enjoys going to the movies, and likes to dance. Barbara Sargent Hackett Congratulations to Barb; one of the school's future artists. Her posters for the various school activities have been much admired. Her artistic ability is further dis- played in her devotion to the piano and the art of Pavlowa. How well we all remember the Black Bottom done to per- fection at the Junior- Senior Reception.

Mildred Minerva Harland And still they gazed and still their wonder grew. That one small head could carry all she knew Dignified, modest, and unassuming are the three adjec- tives most applicable to our friend. Her dignity and seri- ousness are counter-balanced by just enough cheerfulness and humor. Mildred seems to enjoy her civics class and always manages to get a good mark on her tests. Ruth Mary Harley to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all Ruth is a veteran of General J. Edward Bouvier's army of vocalists. She thoroughly enjoys conversation, if we may judge by her expression. Her smile is so charming that it is not difficult to notice. She prefers the new F. L. cars with the leather upholstery to the old ones to take her to her little gray home in the West. Glee Club( 4). 26
