PURPLE AND WHITE HELEN CLARK “Q” ’18, ’19; R. T. C. ’17, ’19; A. A. ’19. “Here lies Helen Clark, giver of first aid to the injured,” should be the epitaph on “Clarkey’s” grave stone when she dies, because she was the one to grab the reins of Q” Club when “Al” Begley was forced to throw them down, and “Clarkey” has led the year to a successful close. “Clarkey” is really “Q Club’s treasurer, but she shouldered the added responsibility with characteristic good-nature. When it comes to acting, Helen is right there. .She looks too funny for words with her hair screwed up tight and always makes a tremendous hit. “Clarkey” certainly is mighty jolly. “One can not know everything.”—Horace. MAY CLARK Q” ’19; A. A. ’19. Our eyes travel down the line until they rest upon May Clark—and here they stop. Why shouldn’t they with such a pleasing object for their gaze? May may lie small in person, but its just another case of Good things come in—” oh, well, you know that quotation too well for me to repeat it. May doesn’t say much or do much, but all the same, all '19 knows her and loves her. She’s been a faithful member of “Q” Club and the Atheletic Association, and has taken an active part in most of our school affairs. In a word, May Clark is just the kind of a girl ’19 likes. “ Her very frowns are fairer far Than those of other maidens are. —Coleridge. RUTH CLARK “Q” T9; French T7. Did you ask, “Who is that neat little individ- ual?” Why surely you know Ruth Clark. “Cute”—did you say? Well we should say so! You’re not the only one who thinks that. Oh, no! There are scores and scores, of all ages and classes because, as you know, Ruth is the “only original in captivity.” Everyone idolizes little Ruth. Perhaps the secret of her popularity is her desire to be pleasant to all. Just to see little Ruth is enough to make one happy. Try to be pleasant” is the lesson which we haved learned from Ruth Clark. “ Kindness is the principle of tact.”—Anon 28

Behold! Margaret Cavanaugh graces this page with her happy countenance. Such girls as Margaret need no write-up” to proclaim their character, because all who are acquainted with them know their loyal and loving nature. Mar- garet has really a very independent nature. She is willing to help along every cause regardless of what others may do, and she has no desire to be praised for her actions. Tell me—what is the main prop of a class and of a school? Why unselfish individuals like Margaret Cavanaugh who give their unstinted support to everything the class undertakes. ’Rah for you, Margaret Cavanaugh! “ Never idle a moment but thrifty and thoughtful of others.”—Longfellow. MARION CLARENBACH “Q” T9; German T8; A. A. T9. Pudge” Clarenbach has found her place in the hearts of all. She is one of those girls whose particular hobby is to be “on the go;” a person who just loves to be busy. Keep “Pudge” quiet? Huh! You’ve another guess coming. This manner of hers has done much to gain friends for her. It is by such girls as Pudge” that all our dull moments are brightened. How weary would the school day lie without people like her to liven things up a little and to furnish a little enjoyment for us, now and then. Let’s give “Pudge” Clarenbach three cheers. “Some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, millions of mischiefs.”—Shakespeare. GEORGIAN A CLARK “Q” T8, T9; R. T. C. T8, T9. Should Georgiana accomplish nothing more in the world, we feel that she has done her share. For four hard years, she has created a pleasant atmosphere at school through the medium of her indelible smile. Georgiana believes that there is all too little happiness in the world, and in- tends to do her share in increasing the supply. But she will do more, for she is a plucky girl and blessed with this admirable quality and backed by scores of friends, she will reflect credit on the school which she loved and by which she was loved so heartily. The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid.”— T ickell. 27

 T E IpiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM KATHRYN CUMMINGS O '18, '19; R. T. C. 17, ’18; French '18; A. A. T9. Well—who have we here? Yes, this is “Kay” Cummings. You knew it of course, but still we must tell you a good many things you’d like to know. For instance “Kay” is one of the best looking girls in the class. Just take a look at her picture and contradict us, if you dare. You don’t dare, do you? Then, too, “Kay” is the kind of a girl we call “classy.” A pleasant manner, a happy smile, aided by her neat ap- pearance are the factors which have made her the very interesting young lady that she is. “Splitting the air with noise.”—Shakespeare. KATHERINE DOWLING “Q T8, T9; R. T. C. T7; A. A. T7, T8, T9. It is the hardest thing in the world to try to say something about a girl whose very name speaks for itself. The name, “Kay” Dowling, suggests so many plesant little incidents which have occurred during her four years in High School. She has been one of the most depen- dable girls in the class. In fact, the saying, “Somebody get ‘Kay’ Dowling to do it,’ has become almost proverbial. In the Senior class play, “Kay” exhibited her dramatic talent. ’‘Kay” doesn’t belong to as many clubs as some other girls, but whenever her name appears on a club record, she is counted upon as a real member, and not one who just “belongs.” “ No one in her senses will dance.”—Cicero. MARY DRISCOLL “Q” T8, T9; R. T. C. T7, T8, T9; German T9; Classicae T9 A. A. T6, T9. Mary Driscoll needs no introduction, I’m sure, to the students of Holyoke High School. To her friends of T9 she is known as one of the sweetest members of the class—always thoughtful of others, and willing and able to help every one in every way. While to the rest of the student body, she appears to be the quiet, unassuming, yet winning girl that she is. Indeed, she pos- sesses that faculty for making friends that we all wish we had. And Mary is a student, too, being on’19's Honor Roll. It’s the girls like Mary Driscoll that have built up T9. “Everyone adored her, and in return she was pleasant and courteous to nearly everyone.”— Kipling. 29
