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.

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.

16 THE EXPONENT REITA EVELYN BITZER “Virtue is her own reward.” Pro Merito. Reita comes all the way from Gill Road every morning and yet she is never seen in detention room. Reita is one of our honor pupils. She has won many certificates in typing as well as several pins. Reita will con¬ tinue working for the Donovan Insurance Company. EVELYN FLORENCE BENSON “Where ignorance is bliss, ’Tis folly to be wise.” Pro Merito, Banquet Committee (4), Glee Club. Evelyn travels to school rain or shine via the four-wheeled vehicle, which is a “King” among cars. Evelyn isn’t always chauffeur though, for we’ve seen somebody hailing from Deerfield at the wheel. Her plans for the future are extremely vague. ROBERTA HELEN BEERS “Oh! She will sing the savageness out of a bear.” Glee Club (2) (3) (4). When “Bobbie” thought she needed a rest and got herself run over, we certainly realized how much we needed her in G. H. S. If ever you hear of any mischief that went on in any classroom, you may feel assured that “Bobbie” was at the bottom of it. In two years she hopes to enter Wellesley. MILDRED LEONE BENSON “To those who know thee not, no words can paint, And those who know thee, know all words are faint.” Pro Merito. Mildred drives to school in a King; but her king is “Ken.” Milly is one of the cleverest girls of our class, and we all love her. She plans to go to Simmons to take a Domestic Science course. A wise forethought! WILLIAM KENNETH BICKNELL “Thou shalt not whisper.” Basket-ball manager, Senior play, and Public Speaking. “Bicky” is the little fellow with the big glasses who always has an extra vacation in September because he takes his cows to the cattle shows. “Bicky” goes to Brown next year. We wonder if they have cows there.
