 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

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

I PURPLE AND WHITE PHOEBE EATON “Q” '19; French '18. Not all of 19’s girls have the desire to display particular talent. Nevertheless, girls like Phoe- be Eaton do not pass unnoticed in our class. For steady, earnest and sincere wotk, Phobe is a gem—a regular jewel. During her first two years in High School, Phoebe was hindered a great deal by illness. It surely is a tribute to Phoebe’s steadfast earnestness that in spite of all difficulties she is able to graduate on T9’s honor roll. We believe that Phoebe Eaton should receive no small amount of praise for what she has accomplished. “ Tisn't what we say, but what we don't say that helps.”—Kipling EILEEN FITZGERALD “Q” ’18, T9; R. T. C. T7, T9; A. A. T6, T8. And now we come to Eileen Fitzgerald— noted especially for her dramatic ability and all- round cleverness. So clever is she, that T9 deemed her of all others to be worthy of writing the history of our all-famed class. And as for her dramatic ability, many a time have we sat breathless in auditorium listening to her recital of some stirring ballad. Then too, in our Senior play, we laughed till our sides ached at her clever impersonation of the queer little orphan. Yes, truly, Eileen's name is destined to go down in our Hall of Fame. “Smiling, always with a never failing serenity of countenance.”—Barrow. LEANORE FITZGERALD Q 18, T9; R. T. C. T7; French T7, T8; Mandolin T9; A. A. T6, T7, T8, T9. It is practically impossible to say all that should be said about “Fitz.” She holds one of the greatest honors a class can confer upon a girl—that of the office of vice-president. For four years she has held this office, and has served faithfully on every committee, prom, and play, and has put all her spirit into it. “Fitz” makes friends as easily as most of us make enemies. She has not confined herself to one clique, but has let her personality spread out, until it has melted into a great golden pot of friendship. The class wants to take this opportunity of thanking her for all her eager, generous spirit has done for T9 and H. H. S. The first in glory as the first in place. —Pope. 30
