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.

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.

20 THE EXPONENT BERNICE CRANE Bernice is the actress of the class. As “Coddles” in “A Pair of Sixes” she couldn’t be equalled. She was also “primera actriz” in the Spanish play which has just been so well given. Studying and Bernice must get along pretty well together, as her recitations certainly show. She plans to study dancing in New York this summer. Although Bernice has not been with us for four years, her cheerful manner has made us all her friends. We’re sure you’ll succeed, Bernice. ARTHUR JOSEPH KELLEY For four long years there has been trundling through the halls of G. H. S. a boy named “Stud.” Small in stature, but large in ideas, “Stud” has accomplished the first lap of the race of life by finding the girl. We must point with pride to the fact that this little boy has had a notable athletic career in this school. “Stud” was also in the cast of “A Pair of Sixes.” “Stud’s” future is undecided. CECILE EDITH THAYER Our blonde flapper of G. H. S. says she hopes to be an old maid. As things look now, Cecile. we’re afraid your hopes will be shattered. Cecile is a shark at typewriting; sometimes she manages to write twenty words a minute. She is a great asset to her father’s business always telling us to buy our flowers at Thayer’s place. She will make her debut at 1VL A. C. next year? ERNEST WILLARD LETOURNEAU We are pleased to number in the class of ’23, this young man of many achievements. The moon, the palms, the girl—and who is she, “Mucco”? That’s what the class of ’23 has been trying to find out for four years. “Mucco” was treasurer of the class of ’23 in his freshman and sopho¬ more years, guard on the football team for three years, and in the cast of the senior play. “Mucco” is going to take a P. G. next year. MARGARET ELIZABETH HAWKES Margaret has been very faithful in attending G. H. S. considering she has to come iri from the Montague City Road every day. For the past year this young lady has been spending much of her time writing letters to Norwich, to say nothing of enjoying Freshman and Junior week at that famous college. Margaret has won awards in typewriting. She plans to take a kindergarten training course.
