THE HERMIAD TERESA EVELYN DZIECINNY The figure that thou here seest--Tut, Was it for gentle Shakespeare put? --B. Jonson. Teresa comes from Jewett City. She is quiet and attentive as a rule and her favorite subjects are com- mercial law and banking in which she has been honored. During her stay at Plainfield High she has always tried to be a help to her class and to her school. In the choruses between the acts of Canby Ricks she proved to us that she is able to sing. ESTHER DIANA FALT I climb the hill, from end to end. --Trfnnyxvn. Esther is from Black Hill and may be seen each morning, bright and early, with her little school bag. walking briskly to school. She is a typist and stenogra- pher whom some day we expect to see holding the re- sponsible position of court stenographer in her home town. She demonstrated her dramatic ability as Mrs. Turlington in Either or Eyther. Esther reverses the usual custom. She spends her summers in New York and not in the country. CATHERINE MARY FOX That red-headed gal. Kay's activities are not limited to Plainfield High School: she prefers a wider field for her endeavors. We hear that the young men of Sterling get periodic heart breaks because of her cute little Irish ways. Her favorite occupation is falling in love with Freshmen. We under- stand that Kay intends to be a kindergarten teacher. Her favorite pets are lions-and howl LAURA ESTI-IER GALLUP Whut'er her woes may be, she always smiles. Laura is distinguished by her beautiful dimpled smile. She is very seldom seen without her friend Eleanor. Everyone has heard of Laura's work on the basketball team. It has been said that without her there would be no team. Laura loves history but she excels in chemistry. Do not get the idea that she is serious minded in this subject: she is not. Laura is one of Plainfield High's most popular girls. MADELINE MARY GARVEY The maiden is young and fair to behold, The charm of her presence is richer than gold. -elnman, Madeline, the girl with the chestnut-tinted hair, is a Sterlingite and an innocentite, for when mischief is brewing she is never there. Her smile reveals two neat rows of white teeth, lights up her face and gives her eyes a merry, roguish look. She is a P. T. leader and a loyal member of 1928.

THE HERMIAD ETHEL LOUISE BROWNE Small si-rvicc is true service while it lasts. Ethel, known among her schoolmates as Eppie, comes from the suburbs of Sterling. She and Kay and Mad make an inseparable trio. She is extremely fond of typing. What would the class of '28 be without Eppie's hearty laughter? Her gray eyes and her curly hair win her friends everywhere. IDA BELLE BUTLER Butts is one of the most sought-after girls in the class and has served willingly and well on many com- mittees. Her basketball playing deserves mention as she is one of the finest guards the school has ever had. She is secretary of the Student General Association which is perhaps the reason that she made such a fine secretary to Cappy Ricks. DOROTHY MAE CARPENTER f l'he way to a n1an's heart is through his stomach. Dot is seen every day at the lunch counter where she is always delighted to wait on male customers. She is always tardy about bringing her report card back to school, undoubtedly because she so admires the A's and B's strung across it. Dot took a prominent part in the senior play, doing it to perfection. When she leaves school she expects to train for a nurse. CHRISTINA MAY CLARK A silent tongue seeks no trouble. Chris is one of the silent but loyal members of the class of '28, It must not be thought, however, that Chris is bashful: ask one of her friends from Oneco about that. She is conscientious and plans to have her work com- pleted when it is due. GLADYS MAE DAVIS Dainty little maiden, whither do you wander? This girl, who hails from Canterbury, is a shining light in all of her classes. Her main pleasure is to re- ceive typing medals in assembly and her name never fails to appear on the honor roll. How she does it no one knows. She is secretary of the class. Her smile brimzs her many friends. She always manages to keep out of mischief, but she can always be found when she is wanted.

THE HERMIAD PAULINE ELIZABETH GLEBAS She saw-and loved. , Peggy is from the great heights of Black Hill. Since bahyhood she has been very partial to teddy-bears but of late her desire for them has been steadily increas- ing. This pert miss is one of the brightest stars of the girls' basketball team. She holds the position of treas- urer of the Athletic Association. Peggxfs. future is some- what obscure though we all know that her thoughts are centered in Moosup. HELEN ELIZABETH HART USilence is the perfectest herald of joy. -Shakespmrr. Helen is one of the most reliable members of the- class of '28. Although she does not make a lot of noise about her activities she is right there if you ever want to know the line in French class, to have help in trans- lating a difficult word in shorthand, or just to have a sociable chat when the teachers are not looking. There is one great problem that we should like to have Helen solve for us: why is she nicknamed Shorty! HELEN HARRIET BATT 'iAn unlesson'd girl, unpractis'd, happy in this, she is not yet sn cld but she may learn. fShakr:pcarc. This fair Iassie is from Flat Rock. Of her studies one could say a great deal and especially of typing in which she is very proficient and for which she has won several medals. Helen has always been a loyal member of Plainfield High School and of the class of '28. It might also be added that she is not so blshful as she- WBS Once. TOINI LYDIA HAVUNEN She maintained a disrreet silence. -Milton. Toini, unlike most Seniors, prepares her work before going to class and speaks only when she is spoken to. Throughout her high school career she has maintained a high standing in the three H trio. She is seldom seen without a shorthand or a typing book and she is not slow with the pencil or the keyboard. Her great ambition is to be a nurse in a doctor's omce, and although it is not generally known, she has a secret liking for those of the opposite sex. BESSIE MARY LILIBERTE Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. -Coleridge. Bessie is one of those smiling, happy girls whose business seems to be to nmake sunshine in a shady place. Her great aim is to be a nurse and we know that she will scatter sunshine among her patients. Per- haps as a side line she will be a singer: her melodious voice certainly rang out at the senior play.
