SES rneamimm The Lawrencian She was also editor of a number of English classics, such as Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner”, Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and Ruskin’s “King of the Golden River”, and contributed to “The Atlantic Monthly”, “The Christian Century , “Harper’s”, “Scribner’s”, and many other peri- odicals. She belonged to a number of literary clubs, and, since she was a most eminent speaker, she was often called upon to deliver public addresses. She travelled and spent much time in literary research work in France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, Norway, and Den- mark. While living in Wellesley, she resided in a small English style house. This house had a most pic- turesque setting, being surrounded with trees and shrubs. Her long life of useful service, of which forty years were devoted to Wellesley College, closed on March 28, 1929. Her ashes now rest in Oak Grove Cemetery in Fal- mouth and on her tombstone is en- graved the epitaph: “I will sing a new song unto the Lord.” Truly, Miss Bates exemplified Christianity and brotherhood in her daily life.

We’ve had our ups and downs but mostly ups. Cer- tainly we’ve enjoyed many good times together. To begin with, let us review our most worthy class officers for these three happy years. In the fall of 1930, when we were sophomores, we had Ted Jonas for president, Jeanne Spooner for vice-president, and Sophie Clark for secretary and treasurer. The next year Alec Papp became president, Bob McKenzie vice president, Dick DeMaptin treasurer, and Sophie Clark secre- tary. In our senior year Alec was again made president (and I might add that he’s been a faithful one), Bob McKenzie vice president, Gif- ford Griffin treasurer, and Sophie Clark secretary. Those who were elected to the Student Council at one time or another are: girls, Con- stance Abbott, Caroline Barrows, Emma Erskine, Anna May Fuller, and Isabel Jenkins; boys, Ainslee Cameron, Gifford Griffin, Obie In- gram, Ted Jonas, Bob McKenzie, Alec Papp, and Louis Santos. Our class has certainly had plen- ty of dazzling gridiron heroes to shed their radiance around. These husky brutes have won letters: Jimmy Boyatt, Ainslee Cameron, Eddie Gifford, Gifford Griffin, Obie Ingram, Bob McKenzie, Louis San- tcs, George Swain, Tony Perry, Captain of the 1932 team, and Manager Ernest Cardoze of the same team. Last autumn the juniors gave us a party at the Coonamessett Inn. Our class was well represented and the party was one of the most suc- cessful in years. What would the Christmas plays under Mr. Albertin’s direction have been without Sophie Clark, the class songbird? Sophie has had a solo part in these plays for years past. In the last performance of “The Nativity”, Gifford Griffin, Alec Papp, and Constance Abbott also had singing parts. In basketball the senior girls have taken a prominent part. Although most of the players from our class have been quite small, they have been mighty fast. Letters were won
