THE ACADEMY HERALD 31 thereis that little red head from He- bron, Rachel Field. I believe she will be our future Gal of the Outdoorsfi Music Recently there has been an addition to the Choir at the Congregational Church, that iiirtatious little Junior, Suzanne LaZure, who believes that ser- enading is the spice of life. She may be heard any day at 6:30 P. M. over sta- tion NVACKY, singing Show Me the Way to Go Home , or Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Then, there's her room- mate, that lyric soprano, Mary Blythe O'Leary, treally blithe, tooj. She's a great pianist and can play anything from Mary Had a Little Lamb to Romeo, My Romeo. Musically mind- ed Priscilla Abbott CPussy to usj not only sings a la Lily Pons, but may be found diligently practicing on the pi- ano between 3:00 and 5:00. It seems that this concludes our list of music- ians. VVh-oops! Just a miinutel VVe omit- ted our music expert, and it wouldn't be fair. So here she is, folks-Lorraine Gaylord. who prefers i'Swing and Rlhythm. ' ' Medicine It is a pleasure for me to introduce the lady who will cure anything from a fallen arch to a dislocated finger, Miss Staples, our family doctor. You'll find her any day, when there is need, in her abode on the iirst floor. Education It is said that education is the path- way to success. Now let's look at the girls who are traveling on that path: but first, I must tell you about some of our instructors. On the third floor you will find Miss Lucille Simpson. She is often seen read- ing Galileo by candlelight, and then the next morning wondering why she is so sleepy. Coming downstairs, just as we reach the corner, whom should we meet but Miss Burris and Miss Stevens. Esther is the gal who can take it twe mean dictationj. Miss Stevens tells the girls about the latest fashions from Paris. Then we find our speech teacher, Miss Soule. She not only teaches speech, but can give lessons in the art of knitting- mittens especially. At the other end of the corridor who should welcome us but our cute little French teacher, Madame Eugenia Leon- ard. Mrs. Leonard teaches us our Metres and avoirs . Rooming with Mrs. Leonard is Miss Hanscom. She is our expert gym teacher who coached the basketball team in an undefeated season this year. One of our Bostonian girls, Jane Bucknam, enjoys mid-year exams im- mensely. fOr do you, Jane'?j You'll find our little question-asker, Barbara Linnitt, any time the night be- fore a test, inquiring of her next door neighbor, '4You ask me questions you think they'll ask me, huh?', Oh well, Barb , it is 11ice to take such au in- terest in studying. Our next victim, Margaret Red Stevens of Bethel, seems to prefer reading magazines Cwhat kind, Marg?D to studying Algebra Il, but never ob- jects to assistance with the Algebra. Kathleen Ripley of Magalloway may he seen running around the dorm ask- ing if any one has some magazines that she can read during study hours. This concludes the list of studious people. But oh! I have forgotten one more of our students-Nora Chipman. She enjoys potatoes and Sundaes, per- haps that's why she sleeps during study hours.

30 THE ACADEMY HERALD April 10, 1940: This morning in chapel the senior honors were announced: Anne Ring, Valedietorian, Sherman Williamson, Salutatorian ,gMary.Buck, Presenting of Class Giftg and Gurdon Buck, Present- ing of the Twentieth Century Banner. It makes graduation seem so near! April 15, 1940: In less than a Week Junior Prom, scheduled for April 19, will be a thing of the past. Isn't it too bad that we an- ticipate things for so l-ong, and the things themselves remain such a -short time! I'm sure we're all going to have a grand time. April 19, 1940: It is a Wonderful day today--blue sky, sun, and rapidly increasing stretch- es of snowless ground. Spring is real- ly here, and the end of school not far distant, only seven weeks! The Bacca- laureate speaker has not been announc- ed yet, but graduation will proceed about as usual. The Reverend Mr. Wal- lace will give the invocation, Mr. Sayles, the honors and diplomas, the four honor students will speak, and the benediction will be given by Reverend Mr. Gordon. There is to be a pageant. The Alumni Luncheon and a ball game will follow. the graduation exercises: and last, but not least, comes the Sen- ior Reception. Then goodbye Gould, till we meet again! Mary Buck TIME MARION TRUE GEHRING HOME EDITION A April 1, 1940, Dear Editor: Confucious say, It not always take Letters fire to cook one's goose. He is right, sometimes it takes Time. Yours truly, June Chipman National Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and AH'airs We are not a League of Nations, al- though we do have people from Poland, Paris, Naples, Berlin, and Peru. As there is nothing more of interest in Foreign Affairs, let me give you the Local Affairs. Edwina Mann may be seen any day on the campus, with those big brown eyes looking longingly across the street. She always returns from week ends to tell roommate Barbara CBuffJ Stur- tevant of her wonderful times. Our next local, socially prominent, Salem sub- deb, Althea Parker, has been greatly interested in Gilead. fWhat's the story, Al? ls the interest Biblical. or other- wiseilh There's been a rumor that the tall sophisticated senior, Jean Camer- on, has been seen wearing a fraternity pin. Practicing modeling, Jean! Sports Our leader in sports, blame-taking Lucia Packard, prefers being on cam- pus to playing basketball. In tennis, let me warn you, she can swing a racket Qand in the dorm, tool. Our Gould sportswomen have done wonders. If you want an example of a second Ella Gul- 'brandsen on skis, you just have to watch that medal winner from Water- ford, Ruth Bull, and there you have it. Another promising skier is little Bev- erley Bassett of Haverhill, Massachu- setts. Beverley is little and dark-eyed- but not quiet! Our great fresh-air fiend, the heroine on skis, is none other than Gould's own Lively Lady, Peg- gy Procter. She eats during her leisure time. but will give that up at the saying HLet's go out. And in conclusion

32 THE ACADEMY HERALD Art NVe have some talented pen sketchers also, and they surely can make a pic- ture Hwhat it ain't. Picture-minded Miss Margaret Lun- dy, one of the faculty members, is easily recognized by the paint brush, camera, and skis which are her almost constant companions. One of our honor students, Mary Buck, can also use a brush. She paints many pictures which are almost as good as those of Raphael. At least we think sol Crinkly-eyed Nancy Arnold seems to be interested in giving Molyneux and Schiaperelli close competition in de- signing fashions. Last but not least, we have our little blonde artist, Violet Kasregis. Vi spends most of her time drawing in Engl ish class. NVhen Mr. Rathbone asks her what 'she is doing she replies, Nothing Religion All go to church on Sunday, but Lei- ta VVest. is benefiting from the experi- ence of her roommate, Beverly Bassett. Leita knows that sleep is O. K., but it is better to go to church. Business and Finance By now you readers must think we have a department for everything, and so we have! Comptroller of the Curren- cy. Miss Margery Bailey, is financial adnninistrator for the dorm girls, es- pecially Lucia Packard and Gladys Neuswanger. Miss Bailey is also inter- ested in collecting antique cups and saucers. Beatrice Canwell is our next nomination for VVho's YVho in Busi- ness. Any teacher will tell you that Bea 's good, every night, for the ques- tion, May I see so and so about my bookkeeping? Muriel James is our typical business gal allfl good in commercial mat- ters. She is frequently seen with depen- dable, sedate Janet Payne, from Ridge- wood,NewJersey. Janet believes in fair play. Her roommate, Betty Runyon, is a promising fashion expert and skilfull in using a needle. People Off again, on again Ruth Areson, from Jackson Heights, is one of the reasons Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondesfi Then there is Elizabeth Smith, whose favorite subject is Speech, or is it? Oh well, Libbie,i' detention isn't so bad! Two girls who believe in having a good time are none other than Esther Pike, who thinks Gould isn't such a bad Alma Mater after all, and Betty McLa- ren, who likes brownies. Betty also likes to plague people, especially a cer- tain boy with whom all waiters and waitresses are well acquainted. 'tTruth is stranger than lictionf' but I'm still amazed at how some people can come back for seconds all the time and yet retain their girlish figure. VVon't you tell ns your secret, Pat Laverty? Cinema Movies? Yes, every Saturday night, some of our popular coeds may be seen at Odeon Hall. VVho will top the list? It's no use keeping it any longer folks, but any time you wish to see Marian Wight, just step into the dorm recep- tion room at 7:55, on a Saturday even- ing, and there she will be with that certain Guy, Gladys Neuswanger and Jane Ches- ley Cvery interested in Frenchj are our next movie fans. They are planning to take a trip to Hollywood! Good luck girls. Joan Tooker, from New York. is at great admirer of Tarzan and goes to
