22 THE EXPONENT ELLEN MYRABEL FISKE “Begone, dull care! I prithee, begone from me! Begone, dull care! thou and I shall never agree! Ellen is one of the live wires of the Senior Class, who has been very popular during her four years. She has been Secretary of her class, serv¬ ed on many committees, and is an important member of the Student Coun¬ cil. She has shown much dramatic talent, being in Junior Prize Speaking and in the Senior Play this year. Ellen also debates well; she proved this in the Junior-Senior debate. She expects to continue her studies at Mt. Holyoke. FRANCIS RICHARD FLYNN “I laughed and danced and talked and sang.” Class President (2) (3) (4) ; Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Baseball (3); Chairman Senior Play Committee (4). “Mike” is the boy who is a sure cure for the blues. He is also a great Spanish shark and has often expressed his desire to be a professor of Es- panol. “Mike” enjoys motoring too, and can be seen quite frequently on the road to Amherst or Hinsdale—there must be some special attraction in these two places. “Mike” intends to attend Brown University. CHRISTINE OLIVE FORTIN “In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare.” Sophomore Play (2); Latin Play (2); Senior Play (4); Pro Merito; Vice President of Dramatic Club (4) ; Exponent (4) ; Salutatorian (4) ; Composer of Class Song (4). In Christine we find all sorts of characteristics worthy of praise. After knowing her we learn that one is able to be the salutatorian of her class and still have a good time and make everybody like her. If you don’t believe this, ask——well, anybody. She goes to Smith next year. We wish our salutatorian the best of luck there. GALE EVANS FLINT “If you must learn, you must not whisper.” Track Team Manager (4). As a fat man Gale certainly makes a wonderful toothpick. Gale is one that never lets you know when he’s around, but you always miss him when he isn’t there. Gale plans to go to Worcester Tech next year. LAWRENCE EDWARD GIBSON “On that day, seven women shall take hold of one man.” Baseball (4). “Hoot” came to us from Taunton High. Though he has been with us only a short while everyone knows him, even some of the fair sex. “Hoot” claims he is going to be a sailor and is thinking about going to a nautical school. Though a real cowboy he swims well; it may come in handy as a sailor.

THE EXPONENT 21 LUCILLE FRANCES ERHART “From a grave thinking mouser, she has grown, the gayest flirt that ever coached it round this town.” Lucille is that blond flapper whom you’ll find any afternoon in Room 3, with her friend “Mudd.” She says she’s been no use in G. H. S., but we know she’s made a host of firm friends—ask Everett. Lucille plans to go to a kindergarten school year after next. What? O! no, a training school for kindergarten teachers. ALICE CLARA ETHIER “Beauty seen is never lost.” Alice is full of fun and keeps the teachers busy during study-periods. She is always “beautiful but dumb,” especially in English. She plans to continue her work in the G. T. D. GRACE EVELYN FACEY “With ready wit and joyous air, a girl’s popular everywhere.” Glee Club (3) (4); Basketball (2). Grace is that girl with the red, curly hair. She is one of our sharks at typing, having taken part in the contest at Chicopee and also received various awards. A certain person called “Ernest” knows where she spends her spare time. Grace is undecided as to her future. NELLIE MAE FAIRBANKS “Bid me discourse I will enchant thine ear!” Th is gay young Cclrainite comes very near being our class baby, but “Who ’da thunk it!” As a bluffer Nellie gets the cup. She says she’s a man-hater. May be, at least we’ll admit that she’s kept more than one young man in hot water. Nellie has considered many professions, but her latest plans are to go to Bay Fath to become a private ? ? ? secretary. GRACE LAURA FARR “Map me no maps, sir; my head’s a map, a map of the whole world.” Class Banner (2); Costume Committee (4); Senior Play; Candy Com¬ mittee (4). Hail, Grace, queen of the cash box! Grace has always been willing to lend a helping hand in our class activities. She ha; made a good rec¬ ord along the scholastic line and as for her amorous adventures, ’twould take volumes to record them!. Grace’s plans for the future are undecided. J

THE EXPONENT 23 RUTH URANIA GRISWOLD “Patience and Gentleness is Power.” Here is a member of our class that is interested in Art,—or should we say artists? Ruth has been very popular among her classmates. She expects to continue her studies at Elmira. We wonder what she will think about besides her studies. AVIS MARBLE GRAVES “Then fly betimes, for only they conquer love, who run away.” Glee Club (3) (4); Senior Banquet Committee (4). Avis is evidently a shark in something else beside romance for she won first prize for a design done on a typewriter. If you want to be sure of good service, trade at Graves’. Avis stays at home next year for probably more reasons than one. HARRIET MARGARET HARTWELL “Let me give light, but let me not be light.” Pro Merito; Royal, Underwood and L. C. Smith Typewriting Certifi¬ cates. “Hattie” is one of our finest students; that’s why she made Pro Merito. When a fellow needs a friend he may depend on “Hattie”. “Hattie” plans to continue her studies in the business line after gradua¬ ting. She intends to be a private secretary and we congratulate the lucky business man who hires her. MURIEL ANGEL HALL “Not much talk, a great sweet silence.” S. A. S. Collector (2). Muriel joined us while we were Freshmen and won many friends dur¬ ing her four years with us. Illness has handicapped Muriel this year, but still she has broken through with honors. Muriel is planning to enter the Deaconess Hospital of Boston. So we shall all plan on being ill three years from now. NORMAN MANWARING HOWE “Some bold adventurers disdain The limits of their little reign, And unknown reigns dare descry.” You all know Norman, that little walking ad for Guy’s, in hats, coats, and ties of class (hoping they take the hint and pay for this.) He is us¬ ually looking for a girl, but lately—she calls him “Nurmi”, probably she means “Normy,” and has no allusion to his speed. Some odd combina¬ tion, that red and black color scheme!
