14 THE EXPONENT five thousand acre dairy farm. It is such a picturesque one! She insists that all the cows be black and that all the employees wear suits of bright red—it is a dangerous look¬ ing crew.” S: “I’m glad some one in our class is artistic. Dorothy Young, although a musician of unusual talent, has given up her music to teach book¬ keeping.” T: “Stella Prusick has bought out the Lawler Brothers, and Anna Kre- sick is there every day trying to prove to her that musical comedies would be more profitable than the pictures she is now showing.” S: “Remember the unusually bril¬ liant commercial student, Miriam Summers? She became head of the office force at the G. T. D. Earlene Dalrymple and Alice Ethier run a beauty parlor for men only.” T: “Mary Steinmacher is assist¬ ing Dorothy Bonneville to run Cor- siglia’s store on the corner of Main street. Since Mary has been helping her the business bas increased noticeably.” S: “Remember how loquacious Louise Root was?” T: “Yes, I don’t believe I heard her say more than five or six words during our whole high school course.” S: “Well, she is living up to her reputation by managing a home for the deaf and dumb.” T: “Marion Hebert gives clarinet lessons to the pupils of the Greenfield public schools. Oh, here comes Dick—.” M: “I’m sorry to be late but I had to combine business with pleasure— I’ve been following a clue on the latest murder case.” S: “Oh, what did you find?” M: “This hat. It has your name in it too, Toomey.” T: “My name? Say, I lost that h at when we won the game from Turners Falls in basketball in 1925.” S: “We have been talking over the past ten years and they have been successful years too, of the class of 1925. When we said good¬ bye in that year, little did we real¬ ize what the future held for us. But tell me Dick—what luck did you have about the tickets?” M: “Luck—Say, I’m the luckiest person in New York. I have three orchestra tickets for the greatest masterpiece of dramatic art of the twentieth century. The ope a— ‘When E. B. Smith Was King.’ ” T: “Here’s to old G. H. S. and the class of 1925.” PAULINE SEAVEY, ’25. TIMOTHY TOOMEY, ’25. BON VOYAGE Our Senior year is at an end; We can but drown our sorrow Beneath the fact that God may send As bright and fair tomorrow. We all must plan! ’Tis time to say Good bye to one another; We all must now select our way, Some, one, and some, another. We cannot hope to stay intact As we have in the past; We might as well just face the fact That our paths part at last. We’re free to work; we’re free to play We’re free to plan our lives, But ’fore we part let’s not forget We’re all just “’25’s”. This isn’t meant to go to tune Despite the tricky rhyme; It’s sentiment mixed with the thought That friendship lasts through time. NORMAN M. HOWE, ’25.

THE EXPONENT 13 that Bill would go in for something strong.” S: “Frank Bryant is president of the Power River Grain Co.” T: “He is? I always thought he looked rather seedy. Polly, I receiv¬ ed a notice the other day to join the ‘American’ or ‘Know Nothing Party’ and can you imagine who their presidential candidate is?” S: “I can’t possibly guess. Tell me. Who is?” T: “Gardner Davis! Earl Mills and Paul Woodlock are his support¬ ers.” S: “Guess I’ll have to change my political party now. Have you heard that Dudley Woodard has had many ups and downs in his short life.” T: “How’s that?” S: “He is an elevator boy in Don Jackson’s building in Hoboken.” T: “Poor Woodard! I saw in the Moving Picture Magazine that Hoot Gibson and Lucy Chevalier have completed their latest picture at Hollywood. Helen Lynch is the auth¬ or of the scenario; ‘Better Late Than Never.’ ” S: “She must have got her in¬ spiration for that picture from her past habits in G. H. S. Our class can boast of a real intellectual light— for Leonard Sargent is a professor of etymolygy at the Muddy River School for Girls—he is a big success.” T: “Some of our classmates are in real freaky occupations—I visited a parrot shop this morning—and im¬ agine my surprise when I called for the owner and Bill Corsiglia appear¬ ed. He used to be such a quiet boy, but now he has to talk all the time, to train hi? parrots into successful chatterers—or conversationalists.” S: “You remember Gertrude New¬ ton? She has tried every known brand and flavor of chewing gum. None of them were exactly to her liking so she makes her own now. Although it is not on the market, the people who have chewed it, say it is very delicious.” T: “Well, she is rather exclusive in her tastes, I should say. I thought she and Russell Hosmer would be set¬ tled peaceably in matrimony by this time. Remember how well Russell used to ski? He has taken skiing as a profession and has given exhibi¬ tions at all the winter carnivals.” S: “Yes, I saw one of his skiing exhibitions at the North Pole Carni¬ val last winter. Did you know Green¬ field has become a city—Gale Flint was elected as the first mayor. Leop¬ old Rucci was his attorney. Much to their disgust the Board of Aider- men consisted of alderwomen. Louise Rice was chairman, and Hulda Schu¬ ler, Florence Newhall, and Nellie Fairbanks, the other members.” T: “That explains why Flint had his office built on top of a tower— 37 feet high—he evidently wanted to work in peace! I heard that Hattie Hartwell and Muriel Hall went abroad to the Olympics with the intention of capturing the tennis cup, but they met two young men and ran away the day before the event was to take place. Rather hard on the Tennis Club that sent them over.” S: “You never can tell what will happen next in this generation. Hannah Shor has achieved the great distinction of being private secre¬ tary to the Prince of Wales. Hannah was secretary for James Thurston and of course wrote the invitations inviting the Prince to a house party at Thurston’s Long Island Estate. The Prince admired her unique pen¬ manship and at once secured her to answer his personal love letters. The Prince was surely clever, for the ladies will never be able to under¬ stand his letters. He will be able to keep them always wondering.—” T: “Francis Dunnigan is another who has achieved distinction. He is now THE Dunnigan of the Ginter- Dunnigan stores.” S: “I think Herbert Osgood has brought the Class of 1925 great honor. He a Judge in the supreme court of the United States. Think of having that honor only ten years after graduation.” T: “Three cheers for Herbie. I have just finished reading Stew Ward’s latest novel, ‘Love is beaut- ful but food is more nourishing.’ ” S: “Oh! I must read it—the title sounds interesting. Have you heard the snappy orchestia that Marion Batchelor is directing. They play in the Town Hall in Bernardston every Friday night. Earl Emerson, Bill Zschau, Roberta Beers and LeRoy Jones are her assisting artists.” T: “I heard they rivalled Boston Symphony orchestra. You remember Kenneth Bicknell, the would-be- sheik of our class? Well, he came into my store the other day and wanted me to give him an order for the hair tonic he is selling. He said it was guaranteed to grow hair on pool balls. I told him seeing was believing.” S: “Kenneth always showed the symptoms of a genius. Judy Meir and Whitman Strecker are touring the country addressing thousands of people on the “Value of Eating” and the “Advantages of Being Tall”. They have been so successful in the West that Westerners are having their portraits painted for the Art Galleries in all the Western Cities.” T: “Our class president Mike Flynn and his helper Amiee Lockhart have gone on an expedition to Africa to find the ‘Lost Chord.’ Thus far they haven’t been very successful.” S: “That’s too bad. I’m afraid they will have a long hunt. You ought to see Beatrice Holman. She has become an expert horse-woman. She drives the famous twenty mule borax team and is touring the entire country exhibiting her horseman¬ ship.” T: “I went to see Dorothy Johnson fence the other night.” S: “To see Dorothy Johnson fence!” T: “Yes, she is the most agile fencer known and Alma Jones is her manager. Last Christmas she won the championship from Evelyn Kriouac.” S: “Remarkable! You remember Grace Farr and how well she assist¬ ed in the cafeteria? Now she is the manager of a large restaurant in Greenfield and caters to firemen only.” T: “Thomas Edison met Irene Avery and became very much inter¬ ested in her scientific ability. She is now one of the foremost women in¬ ventors, having just completed an in¬ vention which will render dark eyes less coquettish, taking her own for an example.” S: “Dot Clough has become head nurse at a city hospital and finds the company of the young doctors quite congenial.” T: “Remember Sybil Davis? She is internationally known as a music conductor. She has succeeded her father.” S: “We have one man in our class who has become a millionaire. He lives very simply and saves all his money.” T: “I can guess who it is!” S: “Who?” T: “Elliot Wangar. He always was very economical.” S: “Hazel Mowry is a farmerette and especially interested in attempt¬ ing to grow corn as tall as she is.” T: “I visited Mildred Zimmerman’s

THE EXPONENT 15 IRENE AVERY “School helps, I know, to climb on high Where all the ancient treasures lie.” We hear that Irene is interested in Rensselaer Polytechnic. Maybe she has a good reason to be. What about it, Irene? She has served well on many committees and was member of the Student Council this year. She is also a member of the Girls’ Basket Ball team. She intends to con¬ tinue her studies at Middleburry. ELIZABETH ALBERTI “A mistress of herself, though China fall.” Vice President (1) (2) (3) (4); sophomore Play (2); Junior Prom Committee; Assistant Editor of Exponent, (3); Editor of Exponent (4); Vice President of Student Council (4) ; Class Historian (4) ; Pro Merito. “Buffy” is the girl who has borne the weight of the editorship of the Exponent during the last year; a hard task it was, too. In view of all her activities we might ask what would Greenfield High School have done without her. She hopes to be admitted to Mt. Holyoke next year. Lucky Mt. Holyoke. DOROTHY MARIE BONNEVILLE “To be short is no disgrace, only a little inconvenient.” “Dot” is no speed king so far as typing is concerned but as for sales¬ manship she is there like the shucks on peanuts. If you haven’t your History lesson ask “Dot” to help you out. Her future is undecided but we all wish her the best of luck. LOIS ARCHER BARNES “Or light or dark or short or tall, she sets a spring to catch them all.” Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Science Club (4). Lois was very shy (this was the first time) when we asked her what she had done in G. H. S. and said. “Not a thing.” But everyone knows that isn’t so. Lois’s friends are legion. She has them all over the country,—Harvard, too. Framingham Normal will welcome Lois next year. MARION SHIRLEY BATCHELOR “Hang sorrow! Care’ll kill a cat.” Marion came to us from Taunton, and we were glad to welcome her as a student of G. H. S. She is very jolly and her laughter can be heard in almost any corridor. About 8:15 every morning she may be seen hur¬ rying to room 14. Marion has great ability along musical lines. She is undecided about her plans for next year.
