28 THE EXPONENT MYRON ALLEN WARNER “Every man is as heaven made him, and sometimes a wee bit worse.” Myron’s greatest hobby is raising and caring for chicks. As all have noticed at the fair, “Sis” has succeeded in getting many blue ribbons on his stock. Myron can also please the ladies when occasion so demands. He must waste most of his pad paper on communications. He expects to enter business next fall, and we wish him success. DOROTHY HELEN JOHNSON “I am sure, care’s an enemy to life.” Prize speaking (3) ; Dance Committee (4) ; Senior Play Committee (4); German play (4). “Dot” has one hobby, dancing. She and Irene are seldom missing from assembly at recess, where they show their expertness with their twinkling toes. She also has another favorite occupation—talking with Bill. Her activities have not always been on the social side, however, be¬ cause “Dot’s” favorite (?) study is French. She plans to enter Simmons in the fall. We know she will get on in the world as well as she has in school. HARRIET ELEANE RUSSELL “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?” Pro Merito; Spanish Play (4). Harriet is a very cheerful little body who believes in looking on the sunny side of life. Some mornings you’ll see her rushing to school in a very worried manner. “I haven’t looked at a thing. Say tell me about his¬ tory, will you!” By the way, she just loves civics. Nevertheless, she is Pro Merito, and we wish her many honors in the future. Harriet is un¬ decided as to what fields she will conquer after she gets her diploma. JAMES DAVID LEESON “Leave us leisure to be good.” “Jimmy” can usually be seen running across the lawn in front of the school building, in a grand rush to reach his home room before the eight o’clock bell rings. In school he is usually trying to furnish humorous ma¬ terial for the Grind Editor of the Exponent. Jimmy’s future has not been decided. FRANCIS JOSEPH KAUCHINSKI “I never felt the kiss of love, Nor maiden’s hand in mine.” Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Captain (4); Football (3); Treasurer (3). “Francy” is the snappy second baseman who has been star of the baseball team for the last four years. He led the team in hitting for two years, and was second on the list one year. To show the esteem in which Francis is held by his mates on the team, he is captain this 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.

THE EXPONENT 29 ISABELLE HENDERSON HERRON “Gracious to all, to none subservient.” Isabelle is one of our Leyden students. Her high school life has been spent worrying about exams, and then finding that she worried for noth¬ ing. She is undecided about the future, but will probably accept a position in an office. HELEN BARBARA SCHNECK “What is lovely never dies. But passes into other loveliness.” Pro Merito; Secretary (2). This wise young woman is one of the charming members of the class. The teachers never try to catch Helen napping, for she is invariably pre¬ pared to answer their questions. She has math, French, Latin and ’most everything else, right under her thumb. Helen is very much interested in Polly, and in a somebody at DePauw. She plans to enter Jackson in the fall. Success will surely go with her as it has here. BEATRICE ELIZABETH LAURENCE “The happiest heart that ever beat was in some quiet breast.” Beatrice startled her friends this term by having her hair bobbed, so perhaps we can call her our “bobbed haired bandit” now—for she is an S. A. S. collector this year! She plans to go to Mason Institute, to take up a secretarial course. ANDREW FLETCHER WAIT “And many a night we’ve merry been. And many may we hope to be.” Tennnis (2, 3, 4); Senior Play Committee (4). “Andy” was the manager of the properties of the Senior play, and he certainly did do his bit toward making it a success. He is very skilled in geometry, and can prove or disprove any proposition. He swings a racquet which paralyzes all his opponents with fear. He has won many games for G. H. S. Often one may see his car gliding up toward Silver street. We wonder why? “Andy” goes to R. P. 1. this fall. MARGARET PATRICIA FITZGERALD “She is a winsome wee thing.” Spanish play (4). “Petite” is she who took the part of Luisa so charmingly, in “Los Pantolones,” this year’s Spanish play. Margaret never says much until you get her started, when she is voluble enough. Margaret always has a smile handy. She has made it known that she plans to go to Framingham Normal next year.
