18 THE EXPONENT ALICE ELIZABETH TANNER Alice’s policy is “Friendship for all;” whoever is acquainted with her does not lack a friend. She is a Pro Merito member and captain of the Girls’ basketball team. She hopes to go next year to Fitchburg Normal school where she will prepare to teach Junior High. WILLIAM HENRY O’NEIL, JR. Bill entered G. H. S. as a bashful young man, but since he fell into the clutches of a certain young freshman, he has become quite a dashing Romeo. “Bill” piloted the football team through a successful season. He is going to enter Northeastern next fall. HELEN APTE THURSTON Helen is the little brunette who likes to carry on conversations in study period. She seemed able to keep “Bob” rather occupied answering her questions. Helen is going in training in a Springfield Hospital. Won’t she look inviting in a nurse’s uniform? CHARLES LESLIE PARKER “Chuck” has been one of the class’s most efficient fishermen. Often he has taken his pole and caught 15 or 20 Connecticut River whales. Al¬ though not a social butterfly, “Chuck” has many admirers in this school. “Chuck” goes to the University of Maine. MARION CORA HARTWELL Marion’s activities in high school have been many. Among the duties she has performed are, S. A. S. collector for four years, a, member of the Freshman Reception committee, on the Finance Board, the Exponent Board, in the Glee Club, on many debates and a member of the Pro Merito Society. Marion may enter a Normal School in the fall, or she may teach district school.

THE EXPONENT 17 ROBERT SAMUEL IIALL Sammie first came into prominence in our school life as president cf the senior class and of the S. A. S. Sam has rendered efficient service in these offices. He was. an important member of the Senior debating team. We know very little of Sam’s private life, but we’re betting that he’ll knock the co-eds off at DePauw. EVA PATRICIA VERVILLE Our petite vice-president, Eva, has certainly been a very busy person. She is a member -of the Glee Club and the Pro Merito Society. She has been on the Senior Finance Committee, Dance Committee, S. A. S. collectoi for two years, and Chairman at the Junior-Senior debate. Eva just loves dancing and automobiling. She is a good example of that old saying, “Good things come in small packages.” Ask “Ed,” he knows. EUSTACE IRA MERRILL “Eust” is that little boy you see in a flivver with “Gunny.” “Eust” may be small but that means nothing. He has been Class Treasurer and a good one for three years. He was Business Manager of the Exponent last year and usually anything that has money in it we let “Eust” handle. “Eust’s” favorite hobbies are taking care of money and getting good marks, for he belongs to the Pro Merito Society. “Eust” plans to go ' to M. A. C. If he has a Gunn to protect him we think he’ll be O. K. ESTHER JOHNSON SMEAD Esther is one of the most studious girls in the class, and it is her hard studying which has made her Salutatorian. This year she has been Secretary of the class and a member of the Pro Merito Society. In Septem¬ ber she will go to Mt. Holyoke. Esther’s ultimate ambition is to become a teacher. MARGUERITE COWAN “Dot” is full of pep and can usually be seen about 7.59, running to¬ ward school with a tie in one hand and her coat in the other. She ha,? been Secretary -of the S. A. S. and Assistant Treasurer of the class as well as being on several dance committees. Next year Marguerite will accom¬ pany Mabel to Bay Path.

THE EXPONENT 19 MABEL ESTHER ERHART Mabel is our star basketball player, having played for four years, besides being captain of the team for two years. Mabel is some “speedy” especially in typewriting, where she has been the only one to win a gold medal, besides many other awards. She is a member of the Pro Merito Society. Mabel goes to Bay Path next year. ALFRED DAVID VARLEY “Al” is the little boy who looked so cute kid’s day. He sure does make a hit with the girls? We can’t forget what an impression he made on us as the bookkeeper in the Senior play. He is rather undecided as to what definite course he will follow next year. MILDRED CATHERINE TOOMEY “Millie” is one of the gay flappers, who dared to have her hair bobbed. But now she thinks she is a little too dignified for short hair so she puts it up. She says she likes to go hiking when she can ride all the way. “Millie” was our efficient secretary for two years. She has not made up her mind what she will do next year. We hope it is not matrimony. GEORGE ARTHUR GUNN, JR. “Gunny” would rather be in an argument, formal or otherwise, than in any other thing he could think of. He has been in on Senior-Junior debates, as a Junior last year and a Senior this year. Aside from being famous for his powers of argument, he is one o f those few people who have aided in the development of the short story. He has helped the Literary department of the Exponent many times when it called for aid. George starts his career as a lumberman this summer. JOCELYN JANET HARRIS She was nicknamed “Jo” by one of her friends because she so re¬ sembled the character of “Jo” in Louisa Alcott’s “Little Women.” This is quite a compliment to Jocelyn and we all hope that she will become as popular and be as long remembered as this famous character. “Jo” intends to go into training to be a nurse at the Boston Homeopathic hospital.
