THE EXPONENT 23 LUCEYLE KATHERINA GRIESBACH If Luceyle is not in the corridors of school she can usually be found at the drawing cottage as it is here she spends much of her time because she is very fond of art and very efficient in it. As a result of her effi¬ ciency we have had some very fine posters for use in various G. H. S. activities. Luceyle is undecided about her future. It was due to her faith¬ ful work that “A Pair of Sixes” was furnished many of its properties. RALPH HASKINS Ralph is the agricultural expert from Leyden Road. However, that isn’t the only thing. He is an expert in scholarship as an average rank of 92 per cent for four years can testify. Studies are his playmates and knowledge is his lodestone. It follows that such a man of parts should be a member of the Pro Merito Society and since he played one of the leading roles in “A Pair of Sixes” he must also be an actor. It is true. Besides t being on the Exponent Board for nearly twq years, he has contributed a great deal to our school paper. Ralph will make his home at “Aggie” for the next four years. PEARL MAY HASTINGS Pearl’s home port is Room 4. When we need a friend we know where to go. Pearl has won several awards in typewriting in addition to being an excellent stenographer. Pearl has accepted a position as stenographer in Goodnow’s Department store. ROBERT HARRIS “Bob” says he has never done anything, but how could that be since he is going to graduate? His favorite sport is tennis and his favorite study is French. (Nix!) So far the ladies have had no charms for Bob, but they might possibly change his mind in years to come. He is not quite sure as to what he will do next fall. RAMONA ADELAIDE BROWN “Rae” has spent four years with us and has done so well that she became a Pro Merito member. This year she has been Exchange Editor for the Exponent. She is going to Middlebury and hopes to be an English teacher sometime.

22 THE EXPONENT ARTHUR ALBERT MERZ “Art” needs no introduction. He has made an enviable record for him¬ self in all forms of sports. Brilliant fullback, Captain of the basketball team, star outfielder—these are all achievements of “Art.” .“Art’s” main weakness is going up to “Bratt”. We wonder why? “Art” plans to attend Middlebury or some other place. BLANCHE DEANE AVERY Blanche is another girl who never seems to have anything to do but study. She is undecided as to what school she will attend next year but she is certain that she is going to take up some kind of Domestic Science work, especially sewing. Next year—Lasell Seminary. WILLET FORBES Willet’s favoritel ambition is some day to surpass Rachmaninoff as a. pianist. Outside of this his hobby is motoring, but not alone. Willet sure does like to go to Athol. Willet has been manager of the track team and leader of the orchestra. He goes t o a college of photography. LEONARD FRANCIS SIMPSON “Len” is the photographer of the class. Outside of school he is affiliated with the foremost photographer in Greenfield. When Len is not taking likenesses he is in Hamp to see Josie. “Len” was in the cast of the senior play. He is going to a school of photography. JOHN EDWARD CAVANAUGH “Jack” is one of our star athletes, having played four years on the football team and two on the baseball team in addition to being Captain of the football team and President of the class for two years. He is going to the American School of Osteopathy at Kirksville, Missouri, next year,— that is, if he can spare the time from going up Maple street.

24 THE EXPONENT ELEANOR LOUISE PRATT Who doubts Eleanor is a capable person? If she were not, how could she devote so much of her time to “M—” and still attend so successfully to her studies? During her high school career she has been on two dance committees. Last year she was alternate in the Junior-Senior debate. This year she is the Class Historian. Eleanor goes to Fitchburg Normal this fall. JOHN WILLIAM MURPHY Among us Valentino has but one rival. John introduced the Ai ' gentine Tango into G. H. S. He has shone as Assistant Manager of the Exponent and Baseball Manager. John expects to leave and conquer the, ' business world. MAYBELLE ANNIE POTTER As Maybelle had completed all the institutions of learning which Rowe afforded, she was up against the fact that she would have to move out of that prosperous place and come to the city. So she came to Greenfield High School. Here she did well as a student but otherwise not much was heard of her. Maybelle is to be a teacher, so next fall North Adams Normal will find her there. MERRILL HENRY PARTENHEIMER When “Minno” was asked what he had done in Greenfield High School he said, “I haven’t done much but get low marks and be shy of girls—until just’ lately.” If it is true that he was shy he succeeded ir. being one of the best basketball players in this high school for four years, being captain in 1922. He was also director of the Student Activities Society for two years. His acting ability has not been neglected as he was leading man in one of the Spanish plays this year. “Minno” says he is going to M. A. C., to specialize in chemistry, but we wonder why he doesn’t go to Pratt Institute. WEINO MAE RIDDELL Weino is one of those shy girls in Room 4, who thinks she has done nothing besides study. But we think differently, for she has been S. A. S. collector and Commercial Editor for the Exponent for one year, be¬ sides finding time to write many fine stories and poems.
