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.

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.

THE EXPONENT 27 MILDRED ALICE JACKMAN “How I have hated instruction.” When some people think of Mildred, they think of pink slips and tar¬ diness. Mildred is usually seen running down the coi’ridor just one min¬ ute late. Others think of one of the prettiest girls in the class. Mildred has done some good work in typewriting, and expects to keep on in that line of work at some Commercial College this fall. CATHERINE ELEANOR PUTNAM “The glory of a firm, capacious mind.” t Pro Merito; Junior-Senior Debate (3); Sopohmore Essay prize (2); Exponent (3-4) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Editor Class Characteristics (4). Hail, Catherine, our literary star! If you want a little poetry, a lit¬ tle prose, in English, French or Latin, just solicit Catherine. S he’s a bear with them all. She is half the life of some of our classes, Bobby being the other half, of course. Besides being the life of said classes, she contributes some of the brains—when “she can’t.” Catherine is really one of our brightest members, if it weren’t for those horrid boys! She invades Mt. Holyoke in the fall. BEATRICE LAMB “Laugh, and the world laughs with you.” “Bee” is the “cute” little girl in Room 4. No matter where you meet her, she always has a smile. “Bee” is a star pupil, especially in history (?) and she is very fond of hard work. She has chosen her life work. What do you think it is? She is to be a kindergarten teacher! The lucky children. She intends to join the ranks of North Adams Normal next September. .ELMER CLAYTON OSGOOD “There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one’s ability.” Pro Merito. Elmer is one of our Pro Merito members. So far as we know Cupid has failed to wound him, but “You never can tell.” You might think him a quiet boy, but he is, when he wants to be, a very clever conversationalist. Renssalaer “Polytech” will hold claim to his heart for a few coming years. SETH JUDSON EWER “I love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good.” Pro Merito; Ivy Song (4). Judson has been our school pianist for two years. He belongs to the Science club, and knows all the little beasties of field or forest. Among Judson’s chief rivals are Pietro, Yon and Alexander Guilmont. M. A. C. will be honored by his presence next year, where he will be able to examine bugs and learn Latin names for flowers to his heart’s content.
