MABEL AUSTIN CHENEY Mabel'i 'You're a real friend,' said he. 'Not like some,' he said. -Winnie-the-Pooh. 1930-31-Christmas Play. 1931-32- 1932-33-Christmas Play, 'Varsity Hockey Team, Salon Frangais, Student Leader, Student Council. Will the meeting please come to order? asks Mabel, and Room 14 busily applies itself to settling the many questions that arise. Sometimes the discussions get a bit warm, but our patient and well-poised president has kept them well under control. But perhaps, when meetings do become warm , that is why Mabel uses, later, the couch on the third floor so much - with one other Senior. Of course we're not drawing any conclusions. BARBARA ELLEN COSTELLO Bobbie,' As lung as nobody minds, I suppose it's all right. Winnie-the-Pooh. 1930-31-Christmas Play, Paint and Putty, Spring Play, Ensemble. 1931-32-Christmas Play, 'Varsity Baseball Team, Paint and Putty, Ensemble. 1932-33-Christmas Play, 'Varsity Baseball Team, Paint and Putty, Ensemble. 1933-34-Secretary of Paint and Putty, Senior Orange Captain, Vice-President of Book Club, Christmas Play, Spring Play, 'Varsity Hockey Team, Ensemble. Bobbie proves again that all beautiful girls are not dumb. One example of her efficiency is the way she ran the Westminster-Oxford party. If you think it was easy to try to answer some of the questions asked, or to comply with some of the requests, try it your- self some time. 15

BETTY RANDOLPH BEAN i'BeltyH Gaity. Som:-and-dance. Here we go round the mul- berry bush. -Winnie-the-Pooh. 1930-31-Christmas Play, Ensemble, Senior Orchestra. 1931-32-Christmas Play, Ensemble, Senior Orchestra. 1932-33-Absent. 1933-34-Christmas Play, Senior Orchestra, Chairman of CHAT Art Board, Paint and Putty, Spring Play, Chairman of Scenery Committee for Spring Play. If you have ever searched for Betty to ask her to buy some flowers, or to make a poster for a play, or to play her violin at Music Club, you have probably found her stewing in front of the dressing-room mirror. Shall I cut it or shall I let it grow? So-and-so will be so mad if I cut it after all these weeks, but honestly, I can't stand this mop any longer. El.lZAl3ETH ANN UOUCHILH B0uch', What will he be doing nr-xtT -Winnii--the-Pooh. 1931-32-Christmas Play. 1932-33-Christmas Play, Ensemble. 1933--34-Christmas Play, Paint and Putty, Orange Cheerleader, Spring Play, Scenery Committee for Spring Play. You wou1dn't think such a little person could take a man's part in Oxford dramaticsg but what a dashing' hero she makes! And she won't have to use any man's make-up if she falls asleep under the sun-lamp again. And, in case you hear a sound ol' cheering' from the senior room before twenty minutes to nine in the morning, you know that Boucher has come on time-for once. 14

MARGARET WILLIAMS DEWING Miggie l've just remembered something' which I forgot to do yesterday, and shan't be able to do tomorrow. -Winnie-the-Pooh. 1930-31--Paint and Putty, Spring Play. 1931-32-Christmas Play, Orange Soccer and Hockey Teams, Paint and Putty. 1932-33-Christmas Play, Orange Soccer and Hockey Teams, Business Manager of Paint and Putty. 1933-34--'Varsity Soccer and Hockey Teams, Business Manager of Paint and Putty, Christmas Play, Spring' Play, Salon Fran- QBIS. Miggic always was a good business mana- ger, but since she has taken Elements of Business she's become nearly perfect. Every- thing from tickets and programs to gymna- sium stunts must be worked out mathemati- cally. In fact, one stunt was so perfectly timed that she could do it to music. JEAN DOHERTY Jenn Looked modestly down his nose and tried to pretend he wasnt -Winnie-the-Pooh. 1931-32- 1932-33- I933-34--Treasurer of Music Club, 'Varsity Hockey and Soccer Teams, Luncheon Com- mittee, President of Senior Book Club. Jean and her comb are as inseparable as Sherlock Holmes and his pipe. CWe hope you won't mind the contrasts-or is it a compari- son?J She may seem quiet to some, but we know otherwise. For she hears-and tells- marvelous jokes. Just ask her to tell you one some time, but don't ask her to explain lt, for goodness' sake. 16
