T E D I A L 4 ' 5 . , Q I- BENTLEY, ETHEL MAE Watertown. Mass. Noble by birth, but nobler by great deedsf' Of course there is no one who doesn't know Mae, especially the commuters in Room 41. Mae is the type of girl who cannot help showing her emotions. Her enthusiasm, beaming on her face. can be seen almost a mile away. It would not surprise us, in a very few years from now, to hear of Prof. Bentley, Professor ol' English at Q13 University. English is Mae's hobby but sl1e is good in all her academic work, we think she will succeed, whether she attempts upper or lower grade work. We wish her good luck. BIXBY, MARY BAKER Mary-Marie Marie Rehoboth, Mass. Y. W. C. A. Glee Club. Mandolin Club. Fine Arts. Canning. Girl Scouts. Happy am I, from care I'm free, XVhy aren't they all contented like me? XVhere is the girl who l1as even known Marie to worry? Life is too- short for that, isn't it. Marie? However. her wit, and ingenuity get her there every time. To know her is 'to learn that sl1e is not as quiet as one would suppose-if in doubt ask her 1'oom mate. Canoeing she claims as her favorite hobby feven the Sudbury hath its charmsl. As for being a good musician -you should hear her play that mandolin. XVC have always found Marie a good sport and loyal friend-and we all wish her a jolly and glorious future. BLOOD, GLADYS BURNS Glad, Glad eyes Mendon, Mass. Those deep and tender eyes. Gladys came to us after three long years of hard work at Northfield Sclninarv. Since then she has kept the commuters in Room 41 busy every noon with her jokes or her tales of woe. VVe say this because no one ever knew just what was behind those big blue eyes that could look so innocent. Although she can't be sure, Glad thinks she wants to teach upper grades. As for the rest of use-we could never make up our minds whether her life would he spent in ministerim- to children or to grown-ups. Xvhichever it may be we feel sure that she will do it well for her heart is in the right place. 28

Framingham State Normal School ASHTON, DORIS Dot 445 Madison Street, Fall River- Mass. Y. W. C. A. Lend-a-Hand. Fine Arts. Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends. Dot must be one of the b1essed,' for she cer- tainly makes friends, and what's more, she keeps t em. In Paradise Alley or NVashington Square Dot's door is always open fexcept during study hour-wonder why?J and her room is seldom vacant. One reason is, of course, because we like her pillows! And whether it's writing up chem, or concocting an evening dress, she is always ready to give time, attention and helpful sugges- tions. Yes, Dot is a good sport and a mighty good pal as we who have lived with her have dis- covered. We wish her the best of luck. BANKS, FLORENCE MAY Floppy Framingham- Mass. Great oaks from little acorns grown. NVhat would the commuters ever do in Room 41 without the happy-go-lucky Floppy ? Florence studies for a place-name test in geography-that is, really concentrates for ten minutes before class, then takes the test and gets no less than 98 per cent! XVill you ever forget the day when Floppy'9 told the story of The little half Chickv and said, The little half chick hoppety- kicked out of the yard and didntt say good-by to his mother nor anythinf' If you want to know whether or not Florence will he a success. just ask her how she liked substituting in Nobscot. Good luck to you, Floppy. BARKER, BETSY DEANE Betty, Bess Fall River, Mass. Fine Arts. Y. W. C. A. Glee Club. Orchestra. Delegate to Des Moines. Y. W. C. A. Play. Good things come in small packages. This is what Betty says when anyone remarks about l1e1' size and we have all come to believe it. She is prominent in many activities and is always ready to take her part whether it be playing the cornet or violin or dancing the darky breakdown, for she is clever at all of these ac- complishments. She brightens all our classes for she is sure to say something. funny. Her time is usually spent doing something for some- one else for she can never bear to refuse a request no matter how much it inconveniences her. Our best wishes go with you, Betty. 27 ff., G.

Framingham State Normal Scho BONNEY RUTH Bonne 1 Y 9 Lafayette Street. Wakefield, Mass. Y. W. C. A. Glee Club. Canning. Now, good digestion, wait on appetite, And health on both? Red-haired individuals are supposed to be pcppery of temper. Though our Bonney gets there with a vengeance, she's true blue-not 1'ed. Snakes are her specialty, she has been known uf jump as high as three feet when one slides across her toes. Probably it is her love for them that makes apple juice so appealing. Ever and anon, the Parcel Post man brings bulky packages with strange postmarksg Tokio- Colon-or just plain XVakefield, Massachusetts ithen we know it's eats and Bonney is so pop- ularl. Now, is food her only attraction? XYhen a feller wants a friend, he looks to Bonney and never looks in vain. She is a winner. BOWES, FRANCIS P. B0wSie Worcester, Mass. Fine Arts. A'Kempis. To believe good of others floods the whole being with light. -R. E. Xvilson. Bowsie', came to us direct from NVorceste.r's Classical High School. It wasnlt until our last year that we knew her. It was House Practice that made her leave the Commuters to live with us in Crocker Hall. For a time she missed her train pals, but soon she found that even Framingham'Center held as great att1'actions as the B. 5: A. trains. Francis is a quiet young miss who knows how to enjoy a good time, yet can readily change her attitude to that of real seriousness. She now thinks that teaching Household Arts to the young Americans will be interesting and we are all cer- tain of her success because of her real liking for teaching. BUCKINGHAM, FAITH ALICE Monson, Mass. Delegate to Silver Bay. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Lend-a-Hand. Secretary of Fine Arts Club. A sunny disposition is half the battle? Even the vain efforts of a divisionts culinary art have failed to make Faith plump and chubby. It always was a conundrum to us wl1y her table was the last one out of the dining room. As a minister,s daughter she surprised us all, our first year of school, by exchanging suit cases on a Boston and VVorcester car. Was it really accidental or merely providential? VVe might now publish a new fairy tale, entitled, Cinder- ella of the Lost Suit Case. As a Y. VV. C. A worker she has lent her un- tiring efforts to help make it a successful associa- tion and she will always remain in our hearts as Our Faith as well as Duds.', 29
