iii RUTH BANISTER Nvork for the night is coming and then the dawn. Gym. Ruth has not followed our paths of glory to any great extent but she has many close friends and they are what really make life worth living after all. She is of an industrious nature and we should have more like her. The thriving settlement ol Florence claims her as a loyal supporter. lVe are glad to see you come but sorry to see you go. GERALDINE BARTLETT BAY PATH French shark? Glee Club 4. Voice Clam 4. Debaringg, 4. Gerry is a very quiet member of the class, butialways has a ready laugh and is a good sport. She entered the Glee Club in her senior year, and we were quite surprised to hear how much music she really can make. She was also a member ot the De- bating Soclety. Ministers seem to appeal to Gerry and we can understand why she is always going to church. She plans to go to Bay Path next year. RUTH BARTLEY WV12s'rF1el.o NORNIAI, Quiet waters run deep. Qvm. Glee Club. Ruth is one of our attractive blondes. She is very fond of indoor and outdoor sports. During Ruth's four years at N.H.S. she has been an active member of the Glee Club. Ruth is a very pleasant person to have about. If blondes were all like Ruth, we shouldn't blame gentlemen for preferring them. ETHEL BECKMANN One of those vampish brunettes. Students' Review. Glas Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Clos: Book. Voire Clam 5, 4. Becky is one of our vivid, sprightly girls, with lots of vim and pep to her. She has made many friends here and will make many more wherever she goes. Becky has been a member of the Glee Club for four years, and a staunch supporter of the Vocal Class. Her future is as yet unsettled, but we know that she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. LEO BERNACHE DARTMOUGH Do not trust in the face. Dramatic: 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Pro Me1'ito. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Harmony Class 1, 2. Leo is one of the most popular boys in our class. He is a member of the Glee Club and Orchestra, and has taken very active parts in all our plays and musical comedies. Leo is a member of the Pro Merito Society and was chosen vice-president of the same at the meeting held in Greenfield last fall. He plans to chaperone his other half, Elliot, at Dartmouth next year, but we're afraid Elliot won't get much chaperoning as neither of them would feel at home in Jupiter's spherical regions.

BERNARD AUGUST The only B.A. in the class. Bunny is one of the most quick-witted members of the class. He is a shark at speech- and excuse-making and equally good at basketball. One of his favorite pastimes is hiking in the Great Out-Doors and camping. Last summer he went to Canada on a bicycle with another member of the class. Due to his knowledge of woodcraft and camping he saved a tidy little sum on hotel bills while he was on this trip. Some day he hopes to be the president of a large department store. The best ot luck, Bunny. FANNIE AUGUST XVESTI-'IELD NORMAL just one of the months. Gym 1, 2. Fannie is one of the few girls in our class who doesnlt have to worry about marcels or rainy weather. Rain or shine she has lovely curls. How do you do it Fannie? We haven't heard very much of you socially at N.H.S., but we are sure that you will be a success in your chosen profession. LENA AUGUST June, July, August Here is one of the great unknowns of our motley crew. That is because she is quiet and reserved among all but 'close friends, but when one penetrates the ring of her acquaintanceship- Oh My! Of course she studies diligently, too, rendering some sage recitations and would you believe it, if she had the required marks Lena would be a Pro Meiito. DORIS BABBITT The Y.M.C.A. Sheba Dot is one of those members of the Commercial Division who sure can make a typewriter hum. She has been a rather quiet girl in school but those of us who know her know of her many outside activities. One thing Dot enjoys is an auto, especially an Essex. BOBBY BARDVVELL ' VVhat says the proverb? - Glce Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Dramatic: 2, 3, 4, CPre:ident 4b. Clan Trcaxurcr 4. Debating 3. Cast of ''fllice-Sit-by-the-Fire, All at Sm, Merton of the Movies, The Illaid and the Midday, The Youngest, Riding Down the Sky. Bobby has had the lead in the last two plays, and has acquitted himself extremely well in both. In other words, the boy's an actor! Bobby has the most catching laugh that ever was. How well we know, for how often we've caught itl But how innocent Bobby can look! We wonder if he ever was sus- pected for the slight disturbances in Room 8. Bobby is un- decided as to where he'll go. We know he'll be popular if he goes anywhere, he has that kind of personality. '

Q.. Y Lliu IDA BERNABY Ida-Ho. Glee Club 1, 2, 3. OfCh6.Yh'!l 1, 2, 3. Class Book Staff. Ida may easily be known as the girl in '29 with the pretty brown eyes. Her ready smile, too, is another asset which tends to make her one of our best-natured girls. Some day shetwill be the mainstay of some big business firm. ELLIOT BLAKESLEY DARTMOUTH l'm inclined to play the Flute. Glen' Club 1, 2,-3, 4. C1151 of .f1llatSeo, Ulllerlon of the llfo5'ie.f,'l Maid and the Middy, The Younge.ft, Riding Down the Sky. Buxinexs lllanager Dramatic flxsooizzliorz 4. Orche.vh'a 4. Pro lllerito. Elliot certainly possesses lots of F. F.-meaning Fatal Fasci- nation. After the presentation of The Youngest, in which Elliot appeared as a young lawyer, a member of the faculty publicly professed herself to have fallen wildly in love with him. Elliot certainly deserves a lot of credit, for he is one of the few boys who are members of the Pro Merito Society. With such a record, we're sure he'll Bud the gates of Dartmouth wide open for him. . RICHARD BLISS The romping red-head. Football 4. Dramalics 3, .,l. Dick was one of the many red-heads in the school play this year. He joined the ranks in 1927 and has been well known for his smile ever since. He is the proud owner of the only green car in school-and what a horn! IRENE BOUCHARD Twinkling fingers. Here's our ambitious commercial student. We know lrene through her skill in typing. Ambition is a great asset for success, and we feel sure that this will lead her there. She won the Junior State Championship last year. This year she walked off with the Connecticut Valley Prize and Senior State Championship. ARLENE BUCKMAN NORTH ADAMS NORL1AL One of the rural lassies. Basketball. Arlene is one of the ardent workers of the Commercial De- partment. She is also an artist. Vile don't know exactly what she plans to do but we expect to hear that she is an illustrator for some famous magazine before long. We all wish her success.
