22 THE EXPONENT SENIOR SKETCHES—CLASS OF 1921 ELPHEAGE VICTOR KIROUAC “I luff to be among the lassies” We all think “Pheage” is the cutest ever, but we aren’t the only ones, worse luck. “Pheage” is one of the valuables of che First National Bank, and as we realize that he is a treas- fare, he has been entrusted with all sorts of offices, among which he shone as Secretary, Business Manager, Treasurer, crafty card-player in the Senior play, and to cap the climax, president of our famous class in its last year of its diligent - study—at G. H. S. He also carefully managed the Seniors’ V ‘trip to Washington—it is reported he was very, very busy during this voyage. Dartmouth College is to be honored with “Pheage’s” presence sometime in the near future. EDNA CHRISTOPHER “How small a part of time they share. That are so wonderous sweet and fair.” When we asked “Ed.” what she had done for G. H. S. she said simply: “Oh, nothing much; just vice-president of the senior class, on the Junior Prom committee, a few unimport¬ ant dance committees, a member of the Pro-Merito society and one of the class prophets”. Of course “Ed.” was too shy to mention that she was an expert typist, never writing less than 25 words per minute. She expects to attend a business school later on. MADELEINE ELIZABETH FIELD “There is none like her, none.” “Fieldy” has long been the prop of the class, filling all the positions that no one else had. Although she can serve a wicked ball, “by chowder”, and handle the mandolin, bas¬ ket-ball, books, ’n everything, she has had a little spare time to spend on such trivial matters as winning the first prize in the Junior Speaking Contest, excelling in the “pigeon-toe” for “The Private Secretary”, and holding the offices of Senior director of the S. A. S., Captain of the Girls’ Basketball team, Editor-in-Chief of the “Exponent”, and many, many others. Oh yes—we forgot to mention that she is Valedictor¬ ian. We wish her lots of luck next year, and hope she doesn’t get lo t on her long voyage to Oberlin. i

THE EXPONENT 21 pink-slip terror in the high-schools of the country. E. C.: Why, the glow of the crystal is fading. They must be all ac¬ counted for. Oh no!—There’s one more!! Harold Tjarnell, who has recently been appointed to the bench of the Conway district court, where he is meeting with wonderful suc¬ cess in his new line. EDNA CHRISTOPHER, ROBERT RIST. PRESENTATION OF THE CLASS GIFT As we, of the Class of 1921, are about to terminate our High School career, we realize fully, for the first time, how much benefit we have de¬ rived from our four years of study here, and just how much we are in debt. Such a debt can never be repaid, but as a slight token of our appre¬ ciation, we of the Senior Class, give, to Greenfield High School, fifty dol¬ lars to be expended for the purchase of books for the School Library, at the discretion of the Faculty. Thus do we hope to assist the oncoming classes in the carrying out of the last part of our school motto—name¬ ly, Scholarship. ELPHEAGE V. KIROUAC ’21. IVY SONG (Auld Lang Syne) 1 Oh little ivy of success, We plant you here with care; Your glossy tendrils of success Must be without compare. 2 Oh little ivy of success We beg you to grow high, Your leafy ladder of success Should reach up to the sky. 3 Oh little ivy of success You must climb very high; The standard of our Senior Class Must never, never die. MILDRED STILES.

THE EXPONENT 23 IRMA LUELLA WINSLOW “Blue were her eyes the fairy flax” Irma awoke one morn and was overhelmed to find her¬ self a member of the Pro Merito Society. A though she really has a slender appetite she admits chat she would walk almost anywhere for “Stt ”. Irma goes to a Boston school of Domestic Science. DONALD LAWRENCE PERRY “He views the world from an unusual altitude.” “Don” has long taken a violent interest in currants (rasp¬ berries or something 1 ' ke that) of electricity, anything in the experiment line, ai d all sorts of unearthly subjects hitched to awe-inspii ing names. He proved his scholarly nature in “The Private Secretary” (we know that goggles turned the trick). Donald has held down many worthy of¬ fices, but these are nothing compared with his wonderful ability in serving as class marshal. He dearly loves to sleep, especially during the drowsy P. M. session, which he realizes is the time for rest and quiet. Donald enters R. P. I. next year. REBECCA SALOME EBERLEIN “Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love” “Becky” has been very prominent in high school, being one of the recent senior debaters, literary editor of the Exponent, a member of the Pro-Merito society, and finally salutatorian of the class. Congratulations! Notwithstanding her bashful¬ ness “Becky” made quite a hit in “The Private Secretary”. Oh no, she isn’t going on the stage, but intends to remain at home for a whPe and then go away to school.
