7 ' 7 unu- ELSA FAY On with the hunt. Pro illerilo. Debating. Dramaties, The Youngest. Elsa' likesusports, especially riding. She has been noticed often in trains, classes, and such placesumaking sketc-hes-of horses as though wishing she were out riding, instead ot doing LA work in -French, English, and other subjects. She was Mrs. Winslow in the Dramatic Society play and appeared to advantage in the part. Elsa leaves for Europe soon. JOSEPH FOGG M.A.C. Not a dense Fogg. Brueball. Football. H i-Y . Silent Joe he is called, but, his silence limits itself to talk. He is our steady, plugging, determined fullback. He's a great fellow to have in a pinch because he's always as cool as a cu- cumber. He knows his school work just as well as his football for he is a member of the Pro Merito Society. There should be more like him. JOSEPHINE GESSING Napoleon and Josephine She is a young lady who has held down a front seat in Mr. WVhitaker's problems class. VVe see her often waiting on the School Street corner for someone. We don't know who. She must be interesting company and we presume she is. GEORGE GOLDBERG I dote on Ponies If you hear a person talking about Brooklyn's baseball team, think of Murphy. Baseball is George's chief interest but this does not prevent him from being liked by the other fellows and a certain party. Murphy is planning a hitch-hike of the South CFloridal next year. BETTY GRAVES NVORCESTER NORlviAL COLLEGE The genius of Hospital Hill. Litermy Edilor, Student! Review. Nemki Stqf. Pro Illerito. Debating Society. Betty is one of our talented- members, having done-the draw- ing for the class during her high school career. She IS also the author of many poems and articles for the Review and other publications. She had charge of the literary work in the'Revxew and has won several prizes in competitions of this type. Bettyls ambition is to teach but we feel that she may surprise herself and become a famous writer. She made her debut in the.news- paper world by the publication of several very clever Washington letters.

' 7 CKi HENRY DUFFNEY Her Unguarded Hour. Debating Society 4. Clast Book Stqf. In class meeting one day we heard someone say DnFfney is the brains of this class. How's that for making a good im- pression? Henry certainly does know his parliamentary law. lt's hard to beat him in an argument-his logic is fool proof. Much of the financial success of Nesaki is due to his good judg- ment. Few know of the hours he spent walking the sidewalks of Northampton in search of shekels for ads. VVe hear that he made a line impression on Xvashington, D. C. The Debating Society will miss you. VVho will gain? The U. S. Senate, per- haps-some day. HERBERT EDWARDS I have a profound respect for words. Debating Society. Glee Club. Dramatic rlsxociation. Herb rather awes you at first, but when you know him you soon find out that he is as human as anyone, and more humorous than most. Herbert is moving to Alabama-where all the mommy songs come from-next year. He IS planning to take a journalistic course at De Pauw, and it the ability to present facts in a clear, logical, and interesting manner means success as a journalist, Herb is sure to attaln lt. ROGER W. ELLIOT The young maestro. Football 3, 4. Orehestra 2, 4. Hi-Y 3, .,l. Debating 4. The Scotch poet said, Give me a man, a boney man, who always will and can. Rod would have met his every require- ment. In the class room, a studentg on the athletic iield, a good sport, in society, a gentleman, among the boys, a real fellow. He's one of our wide-awake '29ers and we expect to see him a big business man in a few years. Good luck, Rod. INGRID ERIKSON FRAMINGHAM Noiumi. She bane yust quiet. Ingrid is another one of the quiet, peaceful little souls-but we conclude that quiet people are always thinking. You have many friends in high school, Ingrid. ive all wish you good luck in the future in whatever you undertake. If you would send in your application soon, you might get into Normal School! EDWARD FARRELL COLUMBIA I'm nobody's sweetheart now. Class President 3, 4. Debating 2, 3, 4. Football 1, 2, 3, 4. Football Captain 4. Dramaticx 3, 4. Peanut League 4. Publze Speaking 3. Glec Club 3, 4. Here's one who knows that being a class president for two years isn't all honor and glory. It means hard work and re- sponsibility. Ed has been 100523 etiicient and ioo'5X, popular- a combination hard to beat. He was quite the most metro- politan member of the Vilashington group. VVe hear that he fell in love with Columbia. W'e hope she returns the compliment next year.

' 'W' M-Iii BIYRON GRAVES The answer to a maiden's prayer. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. lllanagcr Football 4. Cheer Leader 3, 4. Myron is going to be a soldier and we know he will have to have specially made shoes. Myron's weakness is French. He simply eats it up. Ask Miss Mclienney, you unbelievers. Myron was the- worthy manager of our football team and 'pi-oudlv dis- plays his letter earned there. He was also a standby in the Glee Club. JACQUELIN GRIFFITHS Clara Bow ll Dance Committee 2, 3. Dramatics 4. The Youngest Cost 4 Jack was one of the many re-Cpardon, we almost slippedi auburn-haired people who acted in The Youngest. Although jack played the part of the sulky, cross, older sister, 'Augusta, extremely well, this character is certainly foreign to her real nature. Jack never, never misses a funny happening in school, but just try to tell her a joke. After you've forgotten that you've ever told her, Jack gets the point. These English! But Jack, although you become a member of the snootiest sorority in Smith, don't ever forget the S.S.S. Club. ASHLEY GURNEY Hi, Lads! Debating 3, 4, fPrcsirlent 4l. C. B. Roots Prize Speaking 3, 4. Dramlatic Association 4. Business lllanager Nesaki. flddress to ffuniors. Vice-President 4. Live Stock Yrzdging Team 4. Ashley breezed in 'on us at the-beginning of the junior year from Cummington. He entered right into the life of the school and has certainly been. a great help to the class. Ashley was a member of the Debating Society, and delivered the Address to the Juniors on Class Day. We hate to think of losing you next year, Ashley, as you have won a place in all our hearts. Weuhope you will be as successful in the future as you have been during your two years at N.H.S. ELSA GUSTAFSON Smiling thru. Glee Club. To use the words of a poet, Elsa usually takes the path that's bright and sunny. She is not inclined to ponder on philosophical problems but in the midst of N.H.S. societyshe is at home. A study room does not seem natural without her familiar undertones. Of course she studies, too, but that is the exception, not the rule. MARY HARLOW Woman is fickle-- Pro Merito. Glee Club 3, 4. President 4. Cast of Riding Down the Skyfl Dramatic .dssociation 3, 4. Exchange Editor W' Review 4. Cast M nllferton of the Bloviesf' Secretary of the Dramatic Association 4. Ifoire Class 4. Mary is one of our prettiest girls, and is in more things than you can count as you may see from the list above. Such activity! She had the lead-a Spanish girl-in the Glee Club show this year and sang wonderfully well. Mary has the cutest giggle that ever was, and never misses-anything funny in class. We hope your sense of humor doesn't fail you when you're taking the College Boards, Mary!
