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.

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.

THE EXPONENT 17 MILIA ELIZABETH BALLOU “A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit.” Among the many girls of our class Milia is one of the silent members. She has made many friends and we know that she will add many more to her list in years to come. She is a member of the Pro Merito Society and was chosen by the faculty to deliver the Ivy Oration. Milia has accpted a position in the office of the Franklin Auto Supply Company. CHESTER BURNHAM “My only books Were women’s looks, And folly’s all they’ve taught me.” Pres. Class (1); Sophomore Play (3); Football (2) (4); Baseball Manager (4). “Chet” is one of the class sheiks without being “sheiky”. “Chet” is one of the big men of the class having been on nearly every committee ever started. “Chet” goes to Cornell next fall, where we expect fine things of him. . FRANK RUDD Y BRYANT “Is this that haughty, gallant, gay Lothario?” Assistant Business Manager Exponent (2); Senior Play (4). Frank is that good-looking blond in room 15 who bids fair to rival Huntley Gordon or some others of the Cinema world. His good work in the Senior Play won much approval. Frank has been in the business-world for the past few years and he says he intends to continue in the same line. JOHN HOWARD COOPER “Where there are ladies, there will I be also.” Howard is the one who prints the Exponent. We hope that Howard does not mistake the color of the girls at Fitchburg Normal, where he goes next year. Better keep away from Lincoln Street, Cooper! MARGARET MARY COOGAN “Lord, I am small, and yet so great, The whole world stands to my estate.” “Jackie” comes from Millers. We haven’t seen much of her because there isn’t much to see—in stature we mean, but just try stepping on her toes and see how big she is! We shouldn’t be a bit surprised to hear that Margaret was related to the real Jackie. Margaret’s future remains to be seen.
