4 --C. ,s- l ' W 7 nu. RACHFL HARLOW Good night nurse! Rachel ente-red our motley crowd last year, and has been popular ever since. She is one of the kind of girls that gentle- men prefer and has a complexion that is- gg 99-lcoqiw pure. Rachel hopes to be a nurse. We don't think we'll mind being sick if she is our nurse. Q RALPH HAYWOOD I am Ralph Orrhestra. Glee Club. Ralph is one of the-only pair of twins that the class of ,QQ can boast of. 4 Ralph is a mainstay of the Glee Club, having been in it for four years. He doesn't care much for the opposite sex. Wve wonder why. Nevertheless, he will always be remem- bered by the members of the class ot ,29. RAYMOND HAYWOOD l am Raymond. . Raymond is the other half of the Haywood twins. He also is a member of the Glee Club. Raymond has taken an active part in all school activities during his high school career and is liked by all his classmates. Good luck to you, Raymond. NELLIE HARRINGTON SMITH I have a mind. Harmony. Pro Illeriio. Nellie is so bright that you simply can't believe it. She isn't the studious-acting type, however. lt anything funny ever happened in class that Nellie missed we'd like to see lt! We wonder when Nellie does her studying, tor we see her out nearly every afternoon. But whenever she does it, she certainly gets it done. Nellie is going to Smith, but we are not worrying, she's sure to do well. JAlNlI'iS J. HIBBERT Get a little more sleep. Our Jumbo is an ambitious sort of fellow. Anne Howel Among his many tasks, here are some of the most important: falling asleep during every period, dropping cigarette ashes in Bill Bray's coffee, burning up the road towards Chester A. White's cave every night, and he's having his voice harrowed, too, because he throats a mean falsetto Qteethj. jumbo's destination is Sing Sing Prep. He means to take up music and anything he can Find.

' '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!

' LM FLORENCE HENRY Smrm The Glad Rag Doll. Dramatic flxsoriation. Clays Book Strgff. Pro Mferilo. Florence is another one of those Pro Merito wonders, although we can't see how, with the amount of studying she does. fSome people have all the luck.j She it very small and even thinks that she could drown in a foot of water. Her experiences in learning to swim are certainly a scream. She can get a laugh out of anyone when she starts her uyiddish dialogue. We can't feature you as a school ma'm, darling, but then, wonders will never cease. Please don't forget the dear old S.S.S. Club when you get out in the wide, wide world, Peggy. MARION HITCHCOCK Plain and simple. Here we have the movie fan of '29. lf you are looking for this young lady and can't hnd her try one of the theaters and the lost will be found. What's the big attraction? Have you an idol? We haven't heard a lot from you in N.H.S. but herels wishing you success. HELEN HOWES How's marks Helen-all A plus? Pro Mfcrito. N emki Staff. Usher at The Youngest. If you are desirous of getting in bad with Helen, send her a very big bottle of ammonia. All of us in chemistry know how Helen is affected when the ammonia bottle appears. Although she has been in N.H.S. only two years, Helen has made a won- derful record for herself. We know she'll be successful,-she couldn't help it! ROBERT HOWES M.A.C. You can wound him with a cut. Pro Illerito. Editor Nemki. Debaling Sorirly 4. Public Debaie. Ileiatto Committee. All who know him are proud to number Bob among their friends. He came to us in his junior year from over the hills and tar away and ever since has veryinodestly demonstrated his wo'rth. When ,29 wanted an CLllF0l'-lI'lTChlCl for this annual, Bob had such a reputation for originality and dependability that- he was chosen for the job. ln.between t1mes.he made Pro Merito. ln groups where personality counts he is a favorite. Our hats go oi? to you and your future, Bob! GERTRUDE JAGER I'm not Greta Garbo's understudy. Gert has hair of the color that gentlemen prefer, cut in a cute boyish bob, and dimples. What more could anyone ask? She has a lovely singing voice, too, which she certainly makes use of. ln fact, if a teacher hears a catchy jazz song rising from an unknown source, it is sure to be Gertrude. Gert is one of the lucky few who can look perfectly unconcerned when College Boards are mentioned, as she is planning to go to -. Wie know you'll be successful, Gert.',
