20 THE EXPONENT 46—ELLA MARY LYNCH “Unthinking, idle, wild, and young, I’ve laughed and danced and talked and sung.” Ella has studied ( ?) and talked her way along through high school, not paying much attention to anything else except an occasional suitor. However, as a result of her excessive talking she won the first prize in the Junior Speaking Contest. In the Senior Good English play she appeared in her grandmother’s shawl and bonnet to the amusement of all. Ella intends to go to Simmons but whether or not she can persuade her teachers to give her the necessary high marks remains to be seen. 47—FRED MERRILL MAGOON “If the trumpet gave an uncertain sound.” Fred came to G. H. S. with the rest of us and has been popular and prominent in school and class affairs. Fred was some kind of a manager for an athletic team but I guess he wasn’t just the kind Ump liked so he resigned. He has been very prominent on class debating teams, on the Junior inter-class team, and was President of the Gamma chapter of the Agora, the Senior debating club, during the first part of the Senior year. Fred took part in the Junior Prize Speaking contest and received Honorable Mention. As Mr. Dent in the Senior play, he scored another success. 48—PAUL MAZUZAN “And when a lady is in the case you know all other things give place.” Though a little large around the waist, Paul is some speed artist with the ladies. His favorite sport is walking to a certain house on the Montague City road and back again. Paul is a good swimmer and though rather uninterested in athletics has proved himself a good tennis player. He will increase the weight at Norwich next fall by about one hun¬ dred and seventy pounds. 49—EDWARD DAVIS McLAUGHLIN “Ah, there are no children any longer!” “Eddie” has spent a good part of the four years studying, but has also found time to play in athletics, being on the varsity baseball team three years and on the football team one year. He is a member of the Pro-Merito Society and the French Club, and did good work as alternate in the Senior-Junior debate. Eddie doesn’t know just where he’ll go but Mount Hermon is near Northfield (?). 50— GERTRUDE STONE MILLER “One heart’s enough for me-” “Gert” says she hasn’t done much. Oh no! She has won prizes for speed in typewriting, her award for the highest speed being for 68 words per minute. She is Secre¬ tary of the Senior Class, a member of the Pro-Merito Society and our Salutatorian. She says she is planning to work in a doctor’s office, but we have our doubts. It looks as if she had her “boss” for life already picked out. 51— STUART HORACE NICHOLS “O bed, O bed, delicious bed, That heaven upon earth. To the weary head.” If all Westerners are like “Stu” it is no wonder that they are so speedy and up to date. “Stu” is full of “pep” and vigor. When any mischief is done “Stu” is either di¬ rectly of indirectly to blame. Stu’s pastime is radio. For more than three years, now, he has entertained his friends with his apparatus. At present he is chief operator and salesman in the Radio Department of Allen and Wood¬ worth’s Music Store. After graduation, he will follow his studies at some Radio or Electrical School. 52— THOMAS LATHROP NIMS “Every tub must stand upon its bottom” Tom was held down about everything except “nines” since he has been in G. H. S. Among his offices have been those of assistant manager of the Exponent, president of the class both Junior and Senior years, chocolate vender, mem¬ ber of the varsity football team for three years and many minor positions which space forbids us to enumerate. Tom is going to Colgate if he can get in. 53— ELIZA MARGARET NOYES “Oh, Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?” Leila has has been so busy studying in order to get into M. A. C. that she has not had time to enter into class affairs but she has proved herself a debater. She was a staunch upholder of the Junior-Senior debate and her superior power there helped win the cup. Leila says, “M. A. C. is a dandy place.” We all wonder why! Here’s good luck to your future at M. A. C.! 54—PHILIP JOHN O’HARA “I ne’er could any lustre see. In eyes that would not look on me. I ne’er saw nectar on a lip. But where my own did hope to sip.” “Phlop” is the nearest approach to Rudolph Valentino in “The Sheik” that we have—Oh those eyes! And how he can dance, to say nothing of the way he can rattle the ivories. Up to the present he has led a gay wild life, but now—oh now—oh, marvel of marvels, he is reforming. But how could he do otherwise with the inspiration of those sweet hazel eyes? For the last four years, Phlop’s voice has made more noise than all the rest of the Boys’ Glee Club combined, and his satirical wit in debates is unex¬ celled. As Mr. Blimboe in the Senior play, he gave a very natural performance. Phlop doesn’t believe in planning ahead. 55— LILLIAN GERTRUDE OSGOOD “She is one with whom I can associate my choicest thoughts.” Lillian is the little girl with those dark, shining eyes. She lives way down on Newton Street and that walk every morning is responsible for those bright eyes. Of course, we’re not saying what evening walks do to them. Lillian is a member of the Pro-Merito Society, a fact which it is not hard to believe when we hear her recite, especially in history and commercial law. She is undecided as to what she will do after graduation but we think that some business school will claim her. 56— MILDRED ESTHER PHILLIPS “It is gone, but not forgotten.” “Mildred” loves the piano and tries to play. We wish you luck as a musician, Mildred. She goes to the Peter Bent Brigham training school for nurses next year. As she is not going until January she is going to return to G. H. S. for a P. G. until then. Keep on, “Mill,” you will make a good nurse. 57—RUTH EVELYN PUTNAM “All I want is a bit of advice, ’Cause I want to be naughty and still be nice.” Ruth, or Putty, is another of the old school. She has always been popular and well liked by everyone. We hear that she is also popular at Amherst Aggie. She was on the War Activities Committee of the S. A. S. in her Fresh¬ man year and on the Girls’ Basket Ball Team in her second, third, and fourth years. She is Literary Editor of the Ex¬ ponent, is on the Senior Committee on invitations, on the Soccer Team, Secretary of the French Club and a member of the Radio Club. Ruth intends to attend Amherst Aggie next year. 58—MADELENE FIELD ROBERTS “Sweet and seemly.” Madelene is one of the vivacious girls of our class. Full of pep and versatility, she has kept us in the best of spirits for four years. She is some swimmer and is often seen taking a bunch in “Pa’s car” over to Red Rock or Green Pond. Her most popular indoor sport is jazzing the piano, a thing she does quite capably. Madelene intends to go to Framingham Normal after graduation. 59—LINWOOD NICHOLS SAMSON “Love me, love my dog.” “Lin” and his dog are absolutely inseparable. It is a case of “Mary had a little lamb” for everywhere that Samp goes his dog is sure to follow. He has managed the basketball team this year. Owing to the sad ending of a romance in his youth he has put all his time on his studies during high school and is only just learning to dance. His future occupation is unknown. 60—VERA MAE SCOTT “Those who waste time in worry meet misfortune more than half way by anticipating her movements.” Vera says she has never done anything, but we know differently or she wouldn’t be graduating. She seems to think she is not good for anything, but we can assure her of the contrary, and I am sure a ‘certain’ fellow in another city could also. She is planning either to take up office work or attend some normal school.

THE EXPONENT 19 28—EDWARD THOMAS FLEMING , „ “Behold the child of nature’s kindly law. Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.” “Red” is the child whose performance of the dunce in “Nathan Hale” was so natural. He has grown up but little since that time but has advanced to the place where it may be said that he is the most original of all the dancers in G. H. S. His chief occupation in school ha s been to amuse everybody, though he has failed to amuse his teach¬ ers. However, “Ed” is bright when he wants to be, actually astonishing the History Class two or three times by know¬ ing his lesson. He goes to Norwich but we don’t know how long he’ll stay. 29—ANNA HELENA FRANCIS FLYNN ’ “Laugh and be fat.” Anna is that capacious maiden, who was built for comfort, rather than speed. Although she is a valuable asset to the Woman’s Shop, she has found time to serve on class committees. To the majority of people she is known as that quiet (?) girl, with whom silence is a mighty thing. Anna intends to go to Northampton Commercial School. 30—DOROTHY LOUISE FRANKLIN “Let thy speech be better than silence Or be silent.” “Dot” admits she has a “gift of gab,” but she says, “Why worry 1 It might be worse.” At least it came in handy when she had the leading part in the German play. She is noted for her swimming. But her skiing? Nuff said. Dot is planning to take up dress designing. 31—ELIZABETH BENHAM FRESHOUR “She’s all my fancy painted her, “She’s lovely, she’s divine.” “Betty” the little girl with the big brown eyes, has added much to the life of G. H. S. during her four years. As Sophomore class Vice-President, Junior Class Secretary, Re¬ ception Committee Chairman, the winsome “Little Red Riding Hood,” and as our charming “Lady Ursula,” she has a remarkable record. Betty’s future plans are all made. She is to be a nurse! Who will be the fortunate patients? 32—ALFRED WILLIAM GASiS “He had a face like a blessing.” Alfred has spent most of his time studying while in high school. He has a big objective ahead, for after leaving G. H. S. he is going to prep, school and eventually to M. I. T. Good luck, Alfred. 33—VIOLET CLARICE AGNES HAYDEN “On with the dance!” Violet, better known as “Toots,” has always been a live wire in the social life of our class. Her feature “chapel” dancing has caused more than one to raise an eyebrow. And her hands are just as clever as her twinkling toes. She is one of G. H. S’s. star typists, her latest record being 72 words per minute for ten minutes! “Toots” in¬ tends to take up office work next year. 34—EVELYN VENETIA HENDERSON “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” “Hendy” is that little frivolous bobbed haired girl who is always to be seen flitting to and from the Art Cottage. Art is her specialty and everything about her confirms the fact; for instance, she was the Art Editor this year. Eve¬ lyn has no future plans as she does not believe in crossing bridges before she gets to them but will let her future overtake her. 35—RUTH EDNA HOLBROOK “Her face, oh call it fair, not pale.” “Ruthie” is another of our studious girls and has spent four years of hard work at G. H. S. She is a member of the Pro Merito Society and Glee Club and those positions speak for themselves. Ruth goes to Keene Normal School next year and takes up the high school course. You will make a good teacher, Ruth. Good luck to you. 36—MADOLAN FRANCES HOLMES “Unthinking, idle, wild and young.” “Dust” has proven to us that she cannot be managed but loves to manage. As manager of the Girls’ Basket-Ball Team she taught us this. “Dust” loves basket-ball and swimming, but she hates work. She has been on the basket-ball team for three years and has received her letters. “Dust” is un¬ decided as to the future, but we hope she goes to Sargent. 37 —OLIVE GREENWOOD HUTCHINS “Great thoughts come from the heart.” Thinking Shelburne Falls too limited as to those who would be vamped to suit her, Olive dropped in on us from Arms Academy. Since coming to Greenfield she has won considerable fame for banging the keys of the typewriter. Olive says she can’t make up her mind whether she’ll go to Harvard or Yale. 38—GERTRUDE MARY JOHNSON “A fair exterior is a silent recommendation.” “Gert” is undecided as to her future but she hopes to take up music. We hope she will as she has shown us that she can play. Gert has been our pianist for assembly for three years. She is also a member of the Pro Merito Society and has received certificates and a medal from the Underwood company. 39—ELLEN EMMA JONES A daughter of the Gods, divinely tall, And most divinely fair.” We all know Ellen by her smile, and we certainly shall not forget the part she played in the Junior Prize Speaking Contest. She is one of our class historians. Her plans lead her to Pratt Institute next fall, but we wonder why, when she has such an “Art”-tractive young fellow waiting. 40—MARIANNE ARDEN JONES “But O, she dances such a way!” “Jonesey” says her chief occupation is dancing and wearing a pair of her six different sets of ear rings, which shows off her perfect classic profile to advantage. In the future, we expect to see Marianne as the premiere danseuse of some Russian ballet, for she expects to study dancing for the stage. 41—ROSE KRAMER “I’ll not confer with sorrow Till tomorrow. But joy shall have her way This very day.” Have you noticed this little girl in the corridors ? She is called “Mutt” and can be seen rambling around with “Jeff.” Rose likes to have us hear her voice, especially in Room 3. She says she is planning to take up office work, but I shouldn’t be at all surprised if she succeeded her brother in speeding up that Ford, delivering groceries. But maybe she isn’t tall enough to reach the foot pedals 1 42—JOHN HARVEY LEACOCK “He is so good that he would pour rosewater on a toad.” Harvey is another late comer to the ranks of G. H. S. He came to us from Lexington, where we understand, he was a heartbreaker. He was a member of the cast of our recent play and is a good debater. He goes to New Hamp¬ shire State. 43—ROLLENA ALMA LEE “Meet me by the moonlight.” “Roily” is that girl with the ready smile who has never been late, although she lives “way up” on the Leyden Road. “Um-’s nice, isn’t it?” She has won several awards in typewriting and her name appears on the Pro Merito roll also. “Roily” admits that her chief form of amuse¬ ment is “Teddies,” even carrying one to school on Kid’s day. She is undecided as to her future work. 44— FRANCIS LEON LOVELAND “Life is a jest and all things show it; I thought so once, but now I know it.” “Fran” is all that a girl could wish for. But as yet, Grace is the only one who has found the way to his heart. Quiet, unassuming, pleasing both to eye and ear “Fran” has been quite popular in school. His specialties consist of movies, Grace, moonlight and Pierce Street. “Fran” is quite undetermined as to his future career. 45 — DORATHA ELAINE LYMAN “And then her look—Oh, where’s the heart so wise Could, unbewildered, meet those matchless eyes?” Dot’s chief occupation is banging the piano and singing, usually for the enjoyment of four or more of her admiring swains. Her chief recreations are dancing and tennis, and you may be sure she never lets anyone get a love game from her. During her eventful High School career she has been in the Junior Speaking contest and the Spanish play. She has also served on numerous committees. She goes to the Yale School of Music.
