Dippy was prac- tically square in dimensions, but possessed that never-failing good humor which accompanies those with an inclination to chubbiness. Dip was joined the following year by our staunch Irishman, Ruthie tloleman. Yes, red head and freckles in full attendance. tIt's all right, Ruthie, we like 'emi Ruthie, as you know, is that dignified, well-poised Senior, who- swings a mean racket out on the courts every year. In '24, Betty and Lou Mead and Barbara Harding joined us. Betty and Lou kept us up to date with Zane Grey and those Buttalo Bill serials. Lou's idea of Heaven is a liorse-ranch. Bet and lion can rival iVill. Rogers with their lariat tricks, and by the way the three of them ride you would think that they had been born on horses. Barbara, however, likes best to da11ce, and the way in which she can trip it, is a marvel to the rest' of us who can only look on and wonder how any one can be so light on her toes. 1926 and '27 h1'ougl1t Marjorie ltlberhardt and Frances Reaves. Marge, our brilliant mathematician, taught us our arithmetic tables in those days after our ever patient teacher had wearied. South, as you doubtless know, brought her slow lazy smile and Southern drawl, along with her great gift of argumentation. From New London, in 1930, came Gracie NVoodworth into our charmed circle of old time1's, and with her air of friendliness and gen-- erosity fitted in as though she had always been with us. NVe also might mention that Gracie is our champion at blushing, but we're taking our lives in our hands i11 mentioning this. iVith such material the present class of '32 was bound to have a pretty famous reputation. In the early days, about 1926, Ruthie acquired a passion for stamp- ing on pearls to satisfy her curiosity as to whether they were real or not. Dippy, always striving to please, formed a habit of saying sweetly to certain teachers, Oh! you look just like the last rose of summer, and could never understand why her compliment was not appreciated. South had a terrifying capacity for original big words. Mr. XVeb- ster would roll over in his grave if he could l1ave heard some of the eonglomerations. Marge spent most of her time in Mrs. Spinner's room twith the rest of usj writing I will be good a hundred times and no ditto marks either. But Dippy's favorite trick was inventing ways and means to keep a pal from spending an afternoon at the piano banging out scales. XVe can well remember the day she stood before South and told her glibly QS
