1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Madeline Grogan “Maddie” Class Violet “Her mnocence is like a flower.” Made ' ine is one of those quiet little girls who are always on hand but are seldom heard from. She throws off her cloak of reserve sometimes, however, and her happy little giggle often leads the class into outburst when something humorous happens. When she was a tiny child she had a bow ' on her hair; now ' W ' C hear she still has one (but not that kind). With her warm smile and gentle manners Madddie is alw ' ays welcome and we are sure she will fit most creditably into her own particular niche in the world. Madeline Elizabeth Hackett “Maddy” Class Mystery “JVe have been frie?ids together In sunshine and in shade.” The ‘’Mystery Woman of ’27” is well portrayed by Miss Hackett. Silent yet popular, unobtrusive yet ever active and industrious, Madeline is a ' treasure that is only found in a class such as ours. As w e have come to know her Madeline’s popularity has risen as the mercury rises on a hot day in summer and the charm of her “golden silence” is always appreciated by her class¬ mates. She is surely an excellent example of the “sober, stead¬ fast, and demure”. Success, w ' e knowq aw ' aits her. ■ K.vtherine Agnes Hanley “Kay” Class Popularity “They who are pleased themselves must always please.” Page Miss Hanley of the Marlboro High School! Katherine breaks all popularity records. She does w ' ell in her studies and is a loyal supporter of all class and school activities. Imagine what a flop “Old ’27” would be without her. Her ready smile has accumulated more friends for her than Cleopatra’s wiles ever bew ' itched suitors and although she is going from us now ' she leaves with us the memory of four pleasant years spent in her company. 29

1927 THE YEAR BOOEl 1927 Velma Truell Farley ‘‘ f ' ' d ” Class Camper “And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, The maiden herself will steal after it soon.” Velma Farley is one of our quiet girls except during the 6th period Fridays. She seems then to be very much excited as she looks out of the window and questions what kind of weather it will be over the weekend. Why so concerned about the weekends, Velma.? Quiet people, however, are usually deep thinkers. When Miss H. asked the class, one day, whether to break an egg at the top or bottom Velma was heard to say, after deep meditation, “In the middle.” We wonder if you know, Velma, that cream and eggs go well together. Velma spends her afternoons in Frye’s Office, where she expects to continue her work after graduation. Be.st wishes from 1927! Alice Rita Fitzgerald “Fitzy Class Angel “In height, she is not tall. In friendship she is not small.” Alice is tiny but she certainly does get into a lot of mischief for a person her size. Whenever there are any disturbances In the Civil Government class Miss D. always looks right over at P ' itzy. It’s too bad, Alice, that you’re such a quiet child. Alice can be serious, too, because she always has her lessons prepared. What would we do without her and her little red dictionary? Many a time she has saved the day with that book, especially when we hadn’t looked up all unusual words. Mary M. and Alice are great pals. Wherever you see Mary, her litle lamb (Fitzy) is very likely to be found in the near vicinity. ' W ' ith a smile for all and a jest for a choice few she has found a place for herself In our affections. Leona Gareau “Leona” Class Innocence “The first of all virtues is innocence; the next is modesty.” Unobtrusive, industrious, charmingly childish,—these are our four years’ impressions of Leona. Somehow it doesn’t require an abundance of imagination to picture her In a pinafore with a great bow of blue ribbon for her hair. Her naivete, so completely disarming, renders her ridiculously Immature compared to the rest of her “grown-up” classmates. She seldom smiles but is more often pensive and serious. Always faithful to her work she has invariably been a model student and we know that she will aim wisely and well at the work which is her goal. 28

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Alice Reddy Hart “Al” Class Sprite “To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance her merry, tuhnkling feet.’ ' Here ' s to the quiet, little lady who stars as a fancy dancer. She and her partners certainly made a pretty picture in the Poin- settia Dance at the Christmas entertainment. Al’s abilities do not end there, howe ' er, for her sweet soprano voice is always much in ecddence on Thursday morning; and her skill in “tickling the i ■ories” is really surprising. She has a very intimate friend with the same name as her own and the two Als” are seldom seen apart outside of school hours. Perhaps the brother of the other Alice has something to do with it. He was the sprinter of his class, remember. Watch out, Alice! We hope your future may be as bright and happy as you are yourself. Cynthia Elinore H. .stings “Cyn” Class Fairy Foot “A smile for all, a welcome glad; A jovial, coaxing way she had.” Cyn believes that to be happy you must be good. That’s why she is so quiet inside the school room,—we’re not so sure about her outside! She is a talented dancer and we all love to watch her f r she has that willowy grace that is so pleasing. Her mother was wise when she procured such a fine watchdog as Victor, for after dancing-school the boy friends dare to walk with her only as far as three houses from her own. Cyn has one individual characteristic which no one is able to imitate—noiseless laughter. No matter how extremely humorous something may be, she is like a moving picture actress on the screen, seen but not heard. Good luck to you Cyster! Whatever you do, we know it will be done well. L.4WRENCE Kingsbury H.vyford “Andy” Class Kreisler “Music resembles poetry; in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach. And which a master-hand alone can reach.” Oh, I say! Do you remember Lord Andrew Gordon, the Scotch laird of the Senior Play, “Adam and Eva”. Here’s the old boy himself. Lawrence is a great actor, but a greater musician for he plays the violin, piano, and organ. He has written the w,-rds and music for our class song and we take just pride in this since it is the first time in tweK’e years that there has been an original tune for the class song. Lawrence intends to study at the New England Conservatory of Music and we wish him con¬ tinued success. 30
