Choral Club, '28, '29, '30 Studio Art Club, '30, '31 President Studio Art Club, '31 Leaders Club, '31 ELIZABETH is another one of those VViltons who go through high school in three years-a family trait. She has a rare sense of humor-when she let's you discover it. She is usually so quiet and dignified that those occasional glimpses beneath her reserve seem twice as worthwhile. That brilliant mind, that sense of humor, that dignity and that reserve create a lovable personality. Get to know her. 19

THE BLOTTER FRANCES SMITH To show our simple skill: This is the true beginning of our end. Choral Club, '27, '28, '31 Art Club, '31 FRANCES has been at Kew-Forest since the vory first grade: so she knows its ins and outs. Vl'e hear that she has a passion for organ music. If she's as amlitious in the pursuit of this as in other things, we shall not be a bit surprised to hear that she has surpassed the organ masters of the world. As we know Frances letter and better, We flnd an imagination that can roam, and a smooth sense of humor which she usually keeps to herself. LEO TOLMAN Ill. I. T. And the elements so mixed by him That explosions predominate And Mr. Catlin can stand up and say, This is a worker. Dramatic Club, '28 Football, '27 Debating, '31 Leaders Club, '31 LEE is another one of those rare people who graduate in three years, and then heads towards M. I. T. In the future, we shall be sending our young hopefuls to learn Chem. or Physics from the famous Prof. Tolman,-that is, if he doesn't blow himself up before then. His school life is punctuated by one explosion after the other, followed by Lee's emerging from the Lab., wearing a rubber apron and a broad grin. Sometimes he takes EL short vacation to try his luck at debating, but he always hurries back to his explosions. 18
