THE EXPONENT 19 we may all flock to a New York opera house to listen to Faith’s prima donna voice. We just know she is going to be brilliantly suc¬ cessful, “ ’cause he said so.” Well, he did.” 12 Harold Walter Bonneville “ A fellow in a market town Most musical, cried ‘Razors’ up and down.” Harold’s musical career has been quite notable since his stay in High School. He performed quite admir¬ ably outside of a window. A sort of serenading act, you know! The trouble was that he was mistaken for the German band. For that rea¬ son he has been suffering a swelled head which his abundant crop of hair covers. Besides shining in music, “Bon¬ nie” has shone in other things. He has always been prominent in the management of 1920. As treasurer he has had the “kale” of the class in charge, so we wouldn’t be a bit sur¬ prised if one might hear him murmur in his sleep, “Oy! Oy! My beauti¬ ful 500 bucks.” But taking all in all Bonnie is a good scout and we only hope he will sell more razors in the future. 13 Lilia Harriet Campbell “She moves a goddess and looks a queen.” Lilia says to fill up her biography with “bosh,” because she never did do anything exceptionally brilliant, except to win a typewriting certifi¬ cate. Well isn’t that enough for one little girl to do? Lilia ia undecided whether she will follow a musical career or a business one but we all know she will be successful in either. Why shouldn’t she be? 14 Edwin Metcalf Clapp “Lord! I wonder what fool it was That first invented kissing.” The 120-point shark of the 1920 class. That’s Ed 1 Edwin has al¬ ways been the scholastic idol of the entire class. His massive dome har¬ bors unheard-of-treasurers. Some people say he knows more than his instructors, but we will not argue that at all. Harvard college will claim the salutatorian of the class of 1920. 15 Dorothy May Church “ I am a great friend of public amusements. For they keep people from vice.” Dot is that jolly girl who is al¬ ways ready with a smile to tell of her good times. We all envy Dot in that respect. Her future is unde¬ cided but we are confident that she will be successful in whatever voca¬ tion she intends to pursue. 16 Roger Wayland Crouch “Men of few words are the best men.” Roger has always been one of the silent partners of G. H. S., never¬ theless we have always felt his pres¬ ence. He successfully managed the Football team. He was also. Business Manager of the Exponent. On both the Freshman Reception Committee and Junior Prom! Roger is unde¬ cided as to what he will do but we all know that whatever he does, he will do it up “brown.” Don’t dis¬ appoint us, Roger. 17 Margaret Elizabeth Class “ She is pretty to walk with. And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on.” “Peg” has been one of the socidl butterflies of G. H. S. However, scholarship was not put aside for pleasure. She has always been a loyal rooter for Greenfield High. “Peg” nas held many offices and has served on several committees. Her future is undecided(?). Is that cor¬ rect, “Peg?” 18 Philip George Facey “Hannibal was a pretty little fel¬ low in those days.” Although Phil has not been with us his four years of high-school, he has been with us long enough to make the coveted “G.” We call this a pretty good record—Don’t you? Phil thinks he will become a player of the Jew’s Harp for vaudeville. 19 Mary Monica Crowley “She can paint him best who can see him most.” Mary’s high school career has been one of art. She has always been in¬ terested in art, even to the writing of the Art Notes for the Exponenh She has also furnished posters when necessity arose. She has been a fre-

18 THE EXPONENT of the Connecticut Valley Roller Coaster he has held down pretty well. 5 Theresa Agatha Barker “Frailty—thy name is woman.” “Tab’s” attainments have been both numerous and varied. From the treasurer of the Freshman class to the president of the S. A. S. with the following offices in-between has been “Pickles’ ” commendable rec¬ ord: Vice-president of the Junior Class, Prom committee, Freshman Reception Committee and Picture Committee. G. H. S. is deeply gra¬ cious for the work “Pickles” has ren¬ dered her. Theresa says “maybe” she is go¬ ing to Smith College, but each one of the class knows that Smith will be only too pleased to welcome The¬ resa into her portals. We don’t think it will be neces¬ sary for her to say, “Home James.” 6 William Lovingdon Barnes “ How happy I could be with either. Were t’other dear charmer away.” “Love” (that’s what the two call him) has been with us for three years, long enough to be an able rooter for G. H. S. and an athlete as well. He also shone in his studies (Love is a shining light) as was shown from his report card. But taken all in all. Love is what we might call a good scout and a heart- breaker. G. H. S. is none the richer by his absence. Dartmouth is his goal. 7 Marjorie Lois Bell “ Of all the girls that are so smart. There’s none like cheery Marjor¬ ie.” ’Member the petite, cunning little Angelica in the Senior Play? That was none other than Marjorie. She has stated that she really and truly enjoyed the part she played and would be more than willing to do it all over again with the same Le¬ banon or some other Lebanon, may¬ be. Of course we won’t dispute with Marjorie on this delicate point, because we all know who the other “Leb” is. During the year 1918-19 Marjy was secretary of the S. A. S. an office which she efficiently held. She was assistant-treasurer of the class this year. 8 Harold Davis Beaman “ You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come. Knock as you please, there is no¬ body at home.” Beaman is the artist of the school. Do you remember between the acts of the senior play he manufactured the image of a worthy gentleman? Well, that’s ’im. On account of a certain amount of brightness about his head he has been a great help to the class. His idea is Happy Hooli¬ gan, who probably influenced him into becoming a cartoonist. 9 Blanche Eva Bourbeau “Bright was her face with smiles, and words of welcome and gladness fell from her lips.” Can’t you just picture Blanche in that Chapel Debate? Won’t she make a fine arguer for some Johnny? “Pll say so.” She also captained the Senior Basket-ball Team. Talk about a “speed king,” both on the team and typewriter, that’s Blanche. She writes some¬ where in the neighborhood of 60 words, more or less. For that reason she is contemplating office work for the next year. 10 Gordon Harvey Bickford “Kiss ’till the cows come home.” Gordon’s strong point is his shy¬ ness. But, with all his shyness he has been prominent among the boys in athletics. He was on the track team, carrying off an honor. He was also in the Senior Play. He thinks he will become an embalmer, using Cleopatra’s sacred oils. He says he knows where he can get some. Let’s die. 11 Faith Elizabeth Burrington “And when she has passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.” Faith’s chief success has been her nightingale concerts which have been numerous, to say the least. She has delighted many audiences, including both the Junior Speaking Contest and the Senior Play. And by the way, where did those pretty pinK “posies” come from that were pre¬ sented at the Senior Play? From a female? I guess not. A word to the wise is sufficient. Faith expects to follow a musical career. Some day

20 THE EXPONENT quent contributor to the Exponent. Mary intends to patronize the Normal Art school next year. Best wishes, Mary! 20 Harold Irving Grousbeck “When a brisk minor pants for twenty-one.” One certainly must admit that Harold has had his share of the 1920 work. The following are just facts; Treasurer of the class of 1920 during the Sophomore year, Presi¬ dent of the class during the Junior year, played center on the basket¬ ball team, and editor of the Athletics for the Exponent. Isn’t Harold really meritorious? Ask I—y, she knows! But all this work has not made it necessary for Harold to give up the “life of Jollity” for hasn’t he been a sort of “cavalier” during his school career? “Cavalier,” Har¬ old, “you know what I mean.” 21 Isabelle Olive Davenport “We call it only cunning Issy’s ways.” Of course it was “only cunning Issy’s ways” to wear Daddy’s socks on “Kid’s Day” for who else would ever think or dare to attempt such an ingenious enterprise? ’Twas Is¬ sy’s idea, like the “stocking fad.” Issy says she has never done a thing since she has been in school but we all know different. Besides being on all the committees, almost, including the picnic, she was the inventress of the “shake a leg” dance in chapel. Her destiny is not at disposal but where’er she goes we’ll vouch he’ll be somewhere near. 22 Howard Nelson Hewitt “ And when the lady is in the case. You know all other things give place.” “Howie” is one of our modest young men. His one big achieve¬ ment for G. H. S. was the captaincy of the baseball “NINE.” That cer¬ tainly is an honorable position to hold. All the rest of Howie’s spare time with a certain Miss the name of whom I am not at liberty to men¬ tion. For the simple reason that everyone knows who is meant. As yet Howie is undecided as to what his future work will be, but we would not be a mite surprised to find him at Bay Path next year. 23 Zaidee Pearl De Loach “ Cheerful at morn. And carols as she goes.” Zaidee is a true 1920 girl. For her four years of high schooling she has been with her class and her cheery voice and smile has been a valuable asset. She is a staunch pa¬ tron of the glee club. Zaidee ex¬ pects to attend the Secretarial School of the Boston University. 24 Raymond King Holden “Altho’ I am a pious man, T am not the less a man.” Ray’s chief significance for being at school was to hold down one of the many corners in the lower hall, long recess, in hopes that perhaps a little love epistle mig ' ht be thrust into his hand by a lovely maid. Rarely was Ray disappointed. He also intends to go into the cycle business or manufacture hair nets. 25 Eileen Cecelia Donovan “ Born for success she seemed, With grace to win, with heart to hold. With shining gifts that took all eyes.” Eileen has been very busy during the past four years giving much of her time to G. H. S. activities. Her interests have been varied including athletics, scholarship, and social af¬ fairs, being president of the Girls’ Athletic Association and a valuable member of the basketball team for four years. In her Junior year she was elected Class editor and in her Senior year Editor-in-chief of the Exponent, and in both she showed great executive ability. Her editor¬ ials showed her interest in G. H. S. and her faithfulness to the school motto, “Loyalty, Honour and Schol¬ arship” which she constantly held be¬ fore the school. Not only was she prominent in athletics and scholar¬ ship, (Pro Merito member) but proved a great asset to the social life of the hi h school. In her freshman year acting on the Reception and “Prom Committee,” and in her sen¬ ior year as member of the S. A. S. Nominating Committee, also as a member of the Senior Play Commit¬ tee she was very valuable. Eileen’s congenial ways and sin¬ cerity have won her a large number
