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.

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.

18 THE EXPONENT HELEN JOSEPHINE CORNILOVICH “She is a quick and energetic young lady.” Slow and easy? No! That’s not Helen. She is one of those quick and active young ladies. She can make the time fly outside of school as well as in. She captured a prize for artistic typing as well as several certificates. Helen has accepted a position at the Greenfield Tap and Die Corporation. We are sure she will make good. DOROTHY ALICE CLOUGH “A merry heart that laughs at care.” “Dot” is a prominent player of the Girls’ Basket Ball team, and she is almost always seen at all the High School games. Dot intends to go in training, as a nurse, in the Springfield Hospital, next fall. We hope she does not mix the medicines, so that some poor patient will have to pay. Be careful, Dot. ESTHER RANDALL CLAGHORN “I chatter, chatter, as I go.” Esther is rather talkative in typewriting and we hear this is not the only class. If people doubt this statement ask “Roy” for he should know. She has been awarded many prizes for her speedy typing, and was one of the few chosen to go to Chicopee to compete with other expert typists. Esther is a member of the Glee Club and of the Pro Merito Society. DORIS ELSIE CLAPP “Never do to-day what may be put off awhile.” Doris is our brown-eyed Susan. Watch out! She has the most be¬ witching smile. In the last three years Doris has made the keys of the typewriter fly. She has received certificates on the Royal, Remington and L. C. Smith, besides capturing a medal on the Undei ' wood. Doris will continue working at the Bicknell, Thomas Co. where she has held a posi¬ tion during her High School career. LUCY BEATRIC’E £HEVALIER “Little, but Oh My.” Lucy is a petite brunette who seems to fall for the Blarney. She’s very fond of sweets as you may have noticed, in fact, “Jack’s” is her head¬ quarters.
