22 THE ACADEMY STUDENT CLASS GRINDS ROSE ARON ‘Rosie” Basketball 1, “When Troubadors Sang t. Rose sometimes has a quarrel with her boy friend. They never can decide which picture they’ll attend. Better luck. Rose, and please don’t become too irritated over the matter. LESLIE ANDERSON “Les” “Serenaders” 2. Leslie, who is a great admirer of the female contingent of this venerable institution, has the ear marks of an M. D. He should progress rapidly along that line with inspirations from a certain Miss Hemingway, a P. G. Best wishes and lots of luck, Les. STANLEY BAILEY “Stan” hootball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1. 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2. 3: Student Council 1, 2; Vice-President Student Council 2; Halloween Stunt 2, 3; Class Ring Committee 3; Debating Team 4; Decoration Committee 3; Monitor 3; Class Will Committee 4. Stan liked to play football better than he did with test tubes in Chemistry Lab. We hope you will tackle your troubles in the future as hard as you did your opponents in the gridiron, Stan. DOLLY BANKS Monitor 3; Honor Student 2; Class History 4. Dolly is a quiet girl around school, but her bashfulness leaves her when at a party. It is known that she has a certain fondness for riding in orange •and black roadsters. ESTHER BECK Basketball 2; Reception Committee 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Will Committee 4. Esther worries over two subjects, history and boys. We think that Frank Towers is in the lead right now but it may be someone else in two weeks.

THE ACADEMY STUDENT 21 Theda Delworth was head nurse in the Boston Charity Hospital until she grew too old to work. (Flossie enters) Hello, everybody, great fun to see you all together again. Clayton Parker just drove me here in one of the new cars from his garage. He sure has a swell line, cars I mean. Alpa: Sit down, Flossie. We’re just talking over school days. Flossie: Did you know that Eugene Boucher was the lawyer that handled my last divorce case. I saw Thomas McGuire as I came in. He was on his way home from the factory and borrowed my paper to read on the car. Frances: How have you been feeling lately. Flossie? Flossie: I have been having a frightful time with my neuritis, that is, until I went to Dr. Elizabeth White for treatments. She’s helped me a whole lot. Chiropracter you know. By the way Philip, Ameta Revoir, the beautician, made a great name for herself by lifting the face of Madeline Pratt, the movie star. Alpa: Beatrice Goldstein read my horoscope about ten years ago.— Flossie: She told me I’d be a famous beauty and be married four times. I’ve only married three yet. Bessie Parker used to say she’d rather teach school than marry the best man living. I wonder if she has retired yet? Frances: (looking at wrist watch) Louie must be waiting for me. Philip, won’t you and Flossie come to supper with me? Philip: Thanks for the pleasant afternoon, Alpa. — Good-bye. All: Good-bye. EXIT Philip Young Alpa Swett Frances Rattigan Flossie Lynaugh

THE ACADEMY STUDENT 2d RUTH BIGELOW Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3; Soccer 1, 2, 3; Archery 2, 3; Secretary of Athletic Association 4; Bookroom 4; History Committee 4; Honor Student 1, 2, 3, 4. As a member of the Mutt and Jeff set, we shall see Ruth go far. Her ambitious work is registering high on our achievement thermometer. Good Luck. EUGENE BOUCHER Hockey, 1, 2, 3; Dance Committee 4; Honor Student 4. In the past our Eugene has changed very much indeed. Because he is such a quiet young man, we have been given no inkling as to his troubles. We do know this, however, he does like to ride around in his car—alone. HELEN BROCK When school’s out at 3.00, Helen used to trip gaily to the Woolworth's store. Not to purchase, not to sell, not to inquire. Besides we won’t tell, Helen. ELSINORE BROWN Basketball 1, 2; Archery 3; “When Troubadours Sang” 1; Halloween Stunt 1, 2, 3; Social Committee 1, 3. Elsinore is a fine athlete, showing her best skill in basketball and archer . We often wonder what would happen if the use of peroxide was prohibited. ROBERT BURNS Robert is one of our many progressive members? Not all agree on the subject, but we will excuse them this time. The great problem is, was he named after Robert Burns, the poet, or whether it was merely a coincidence. JULIAN BUTLER “Julie” We have never seen Julian out for any activity but he studies hard and long now that he has received a lovely inspiration. A I ord is his hobby, as we can clearly see, and we hope in the future to see, ‘G. J. Butler, Expert Mechanic.” IRVING CARPENTER We have discovered that Waterford winters do not agree with Irving, besides he never manages to arrive in time to attend chapel.
