32 THE EXPONENT LEONA WINIFRED CLAPP “Give me with gay folly to live.” Junior Prom committee (3). Leona is one of the belles of the class, one of those fickle blondes! Her high school career has been spent mostly in studying (?), not subjects of literature, history, or language, but studying human nature of a certain species. She served on the Banner Committee for Junior year, and showed us her skill in sewing. In August she will start working for the Standard Oil Company. HAROLD THOMAS FIELD “In every gesture, dignity.” Pro Merito; “Come Out of the Kitchen” (4). Harold is the boy who says it was easy to be in the Pro Merito Society. Perhaps it was for him, for he has perserverance enough to overcome any obstacle,—or algebra problem. Many accorded “Tucker” with the clever¬ est acting in the Senior play. He had so much experience with the Co-Op¬ erative Grocery Company that he was elected to the Finance committee. Harold enters Holy Cross College next year. Best of luck, Harold. RUTH NORMA MARTIN “A wonderful, thrilling voice.” Orchestra (2, 3, 4); “Patience” (4). Ruth is the shining musician in our class. She plays in the School orchestra, the special Orchestra, and has walked off with the leading lady’s part in the opera which the Glee Clubs are practicing. She gave us a glimpse of her talent at the Junior Prize Speaking. Ruth intends to go on v;ith her music next year. ELMER LAWRENCE TAYLOR “I go, I go, look how I go! Swifter than arrow from Tartar’s bow.” Pro Merito. Elmer travels to school every day via the two wheeled vehicle. Al¬ though fighting through fierce rain and snowstorms, he has nevertheless, been hindered by nothing from arriving some time. We admire his pluck. He stands very high in the scholarship list. Elmer goes to Worcester Tech this fall, where his success is assured by his conquering will-power. LAILA INEZ DUTCHER “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.’” Inez is a very modest young woman, until one becomes acquainted with her. Then she becomes a real friend. She and Harriet are never seen, one without the other. Inez comes from Leverett, but it also seems that she has an interest in California. We’d really like to know what is there, that she should have such a strong attachment for it. Inez is going to be at home after graduation, and the best wishes of ’24 go with her.

THE EXPONENT 31 EDWIN GOULD FISKE “Give my compliments—Mr. Veller’s compliments—to the Justice; and tell him I’ve spiled his Beadle,” Basketball (3, 4) ; Football (4). “Pinky” has always been popular with the Exponent’s Grinds Depart¬ ments, but he hasn’t had to rely on that for fame. His well-known head of hair streaks around a basketball floor like a comet with a mission in life. He isn’t asleep very often. And they say that “Pinky” isn’t so bashful about girls as he used to be. REGINALD FOSTER PFERSICK “God bless him—who first invented sleep.” Baseball (3-4) ; Basketball (2, 3, 4 ); Football (3-4) ; Class Marshal (4). The tall, dark and handsome sheik of the class of ’24 is “Reggie.” He has been a clever pitcher, and center on the football and basketball teams. He led the team in points in basketball two years, and has always been among the valley leaders. His favorite pastime, outside of sleeping, is to sit on a stonewall and smoke his old “Briar.” He expects to be a post graduate next year. We wish you the best of luck, “Hutch.” ROLAND ELLSWORTH REED “Ah, there are no children any longer.” Tennis (3-4) ; Basketball (4) ; S. A. S. (4); Assistant Manager Ex¬ ponent (2). “Roily” is a good thing in a small package, as all will agree. His work helped greatly in making the basketball team so sucessful this last year. He wields a wicked racquet in tennis, and, through it, has brought G. H. S. much fame in the neighboring schools. We wonder if his heart is immune to Cupid’s dart. This youth intends to enliven M. A. C. next year. ISABELLE LIVINGSTON “For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May” Senior-Junior Debate (3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); Prom Committee (3); President Glee Club (4); Senior Play (4) ; Exponent (4). There is no dispute as to “whose Izzy is she?” for. “Izzy” belongs to the whole class. And what a big place she has filled! She excels in a great many things, but her strong points are Latin, math, and debate. Who can forget last year’s debate! And didn’t you sympathize with Araminta when Mrs. Faulkner appeared? How she can make the old assembly piano peal forth! “Izzy” intends to take a post graduate course, attend Smith, and then take a course in law at Columbia. We’re betting on her for the first feminine Chief Justice. ANTOINETTE JOSEPHINE KOZISKI “The mildest manners and the gentlest heart.” Antoinette is one of those quiet girls (in school), who never says much, but seems to be deep in thought. We wonder what she is thinking about? This ambitious girl is one of our commercial students, and has won medals and certificates in typewriting. She has no definite plans for the future.

THE EXPONENT 33 EVELYN GRACE REUM “Her heart was in her work.” Evelyn declares she hasn’t done one thing worth while in high school, but wait! She has received certificates on the Remington, Underwood, and Royal machines, and also a medal on the Underwood. What Commercial student could have done better? She has done well in all subjects, and, what is more important, has made many friends. LLOYD CALDWELL STILES “Laziness lends grace to his demeanor.” Manager of Track Team; English Plays (1-2). “Slow and easy”—that’s Lloyd. As a trapper, he has no rival. All the fishes in the brooks fear his cunning. He never has hunted the ladies until lately. “The French settled in the St. Louis Valley,” said Lloyd in history. Why St. Louis? But Lloyd goes to Ohio Northern this fall. ARTHUR LINCOLN DURKEE “This was the noblest Roman of them all.” Valedictory (4) ; Pro Merito; Baseball (4); Exponent (4). Two years is all we have been favored with by this august being’s presence. He has kept busy during that time waking “the next morning” to find new honors showered on him. He has M. 1. T. in view, and we hear that the authorities down in Boston are all a-twitter over the prospect! GEORGE WILLIAM BROWN “Ambition has no rest.” Baseball (2-3). George is the fellow who is usually carrying a pile of books filled with papers through the halls. He also has a little black bag, like the noted one which carried $60,000 to Mr. Fall. George has distinguished hiriiself by securing a letter in baseball. He earned it, too, for he knows the pitching game. He says that the future is unplanned. THURSTON WELLS MUNSON “He views the world from an unusual altitude.” Prize Speaking (3); Class Prophet (4); Exponent (1); Treasurer (1) ; Senior Play (4). “Punk” has done many things worthy of note during his four years at G. H. S. He is our chief illustrator for the Exponent, and this year, its chief contributor, with deep stuff like “Don Fylipe” and “Reminiscences.” His work has not been entirely “Exponential,” for he looked the part of a genuine pcet in the Senior play, can keep the Juniors happy, is a shark at pool, and is a renowned globe-trotter.
