THE EXPONENT 21 HART MOWRY HAWKS “What is highest and noblest in a man conceals itself.” Track Team (2, 3, 4). Mowry is a faithful member of G. H. S., who comes from Shelburne. Perhaps his greatest contribution has been his success in track. In the dashes he is supreme, nor is he “so worse” in relays or broad jumps. He is not sure just what he will do in the future. GEORGE SILAS RICHARDSON “Come, girls, and view this lad so fair. Is he not nifty and debonair?” Pro Merito. George prepared for our class at Deerfield Academy. He entered G. H. S. from Deerfield during his Senior year. His sunny disposition made him well liked by everybody, especially Gladys. George has quite a rec¬ ord as a one hand driver. We wish him the best of luck in the Bentley School of Accounting. MARION CAMPBELL PHILLIPS “Her modest looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” Marion comes to us from the great city of Leyden, and although that is a long way off, she is usually here with Idell to open the door of Room 4. At this post of vantage, she meets all with her cheerful smile. Her motto seems to be that “a smile in time will prevent nine Ti’owns.” Her future fate is unrevealed. . ARTHUR LEWIS WINSHIP “I am bound to furnish my antagonists with arguments, but not with comprehension.” “Art” is a witty youth w ' ho hails from Millers Falls. His main fail¬ ing is argument. Why, man, he will willingly debate on any subject from “How many eyes has a fly?” to “Orangeade is better than Cherry Crush.” At present, his future is undecided. He is “arguing” on many positions which might Jae to his liking. MABELLE VINNIE FARR “Thought is deeper than all speech. Feeling deeper than all thought.” Public speaking (3) ; Pro Merito. Who has forgotten that solemn (?) sermon entitled “Old Mother Hubbard went to her Cupboard,” which won Mabelle the well deserved pub¬ lic speaking prize last year? Maybe Mabelle will be an elocutionist some day—we almost said electrocutionist. She is a geometry shark who can prove a square similar to a triangle anytime. We hope she doesn’t get lost on her way to Connecticut College next year.

18 THE EXPONENT NATHANIEL CLAPP “Let that wheelbarrow be! What in Sam Hill do you know about machinery!” Football Manager (4). “Babe” started to school in skirts and curls, but he doesn’t wear them now. His chief avocations in school are going to sleep and swatting his friends on the back. Outside of school he has been learning surveying and is very fond of hunting and fishing. He hopes to go to M. A. C., and then teach French in Paris. GEORGE LESLIE STREETER “The man behind the bugle.” Band (2, 3, 4) ; Orchestra (2, 3, 4) ; Glee Club; Track (2, 4). George surely is some musician. If you want proof, just ask anyone who went on the Waltham trip last fall. Sorry to say, though, he got a blister on his left thumb. He may be oft6n seen going to and from the town over the hill to the west, whei’e he seems to have found a jewel by the name of “Pearl.” George plans to journey north to Norwich next fall. EDMOND PHILLIP JANGRO “Midnight shout and revelry Tipsy dance and jollity.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Captain (4) ; Baseball (1, -2, 3). Everyone will remember “Wally” as the pocket edition of Walter Camp. For four years he has been the mainstay of the football team. As a sideline he was captain one year, and All-Valley end for two, seasons. He also played baseball three years. His future is undecided, but he has his eyes on the University of Vermont. MILTON SIDNEY HESCOCK “At arguing, too, the parson showed his skill. For even tho’ vanquished, he could argue still,” “Milt” is the fellow who has the permanent wave in his hair, and who always has his lessons. As soon as school lets out, he intends to start learning the carpenter’s trade. Maybe he will help build the ilew high school yet. The best of luck to you, “Milt.” IDELL HORTON PLUMLEY “She was of a gentle nature.” Spanish Play (4). Idell was the first to open the doors of room 4 every morning during her Senior year. There is a record for you! She is very much interested in the study of Spanish. She proved her knowledge of this subject in the Spanish play this year. But about the future she is undecided.

22 THE EXPONENT SARAH THEODORA PLANTINGA “Write me as one who loves his fellow men.” Pro Merito, Yes, Sarah is Oliver’s sister, coming down from the far north two years ago. She is also a good student. Those who know her, and have broken through her quiet reserve, find her the best of friends, with a limitless supply of optimism. Sarah is true blue way through, and is al¬ ways ready to help. She plans to go to M. A. C., and we wish her “bon voyage” with all heartiness. OLIVER SAMUEL PLANTINGA “He has I know not what. Of greatness in his looks, and of high fate. That almost awes me.” Oliver came to us two years ago from Readsboro high. While here, he has led a Latin life, and finds great pleasure in overdoing his Ovid and Virgil. In spite of carrying a heavy program, he is Pro Merito. He goes to M. A. C. next year, where he will go deeply into the study of science. FREDERICK PIERCE BURKE “Let them call it mischief; When it is past and prospered ’twill be virtue.” Track (2, 3, 4). You all know “Cap.”’ I mean that girl-chasing, blushing, stammering young man of the Ku Klux Klan Cross fame. He has distinguished him¬ self as an athlete by his jumping and sprinting. At playing ball, he seems to have been rather unlucky. He has discarded his crutches, and he doesn’t really stagger. It is only that he is still a bit lame. He has not decided what he will do after graduation. GRACE MAE BAKER “She was glad to do a good deed in secret.” When Grace bobbed her hair last year we were startled, but now think it must have been thart will power, which makes her such a Latin student, cropping out. Grace is one of the most helpful and willing girls in the class, and we are sure she will make a very sjuccessful teacher after her course at Normal school. PAUL WILLIAM CORLESS “Every beauty will feel it her duty To yield to his glamor at once.” ' Football (3-4); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball (4); Track (4); Cap and Gown Committee (4). “Bozo’s” waking hours have been divided between athletics and Helen. This sounds improbable, but it is true, because the time he spends at school cannot properly be classed as waking hours. “Bozo” admired the reputa¬ tion our class made its very first year, and he finally decided to join us. After his athletic accomplishments do you wonder we are glad? He leaves many friends in G. H. S.
