Marjorie has always l1ad good ideas and plans. Of course to get these ideas and plans across she had to talk. Her talking, tl1ougl1, was a sore trial to many of l1er fellow studlents who sometimes, though not often, wished to study. VVhen Marjorie first entered high school we understand that she intended to go to college after she had finished. Then for some unknown reason she decided not to go so far away from home, but to stop at Oneonta Normal School instead. Later we learned that her plans were again changed. In spite of that fact, we trust that the one who has made her change her mind about higher education will t'feed her well. JAMES JOSEPH GOVERN 'LJIMMIEH Stamford, New York Jimmie is a whiz, of that we have no doubt, But when it comes to Virgil scansion-he's left out. ' Reveille staff '23, Camera staff '25. Jimmie came to us fresh from the little town of South Gilboa. Since that first day of entrance he has been one of our brightest and most faithful members. Jimmie's worst habit is his desire to chat, especially in Virgil class. Although we all like Jimmie very much, we wish he wouldn't talk so much as it sometimes gets us into trouble, also. -lt., VVILLIAM HENRY GOVERN BILL Stamford, New York Wl1en he smiles-he wins. Treasurer '23, Baseball '23, '24, Prize Speaking '24, '25, Orchestra '23, '24, '25, Athletic Editor of Reveille '23, Bill joined our class in January. He is finishing his high school course in three years, which is no small feat. Bill has received l1is education tl1us far in Stamford, and if he continues in college as he has here we may reason- ably expect great things of l1in1 in the future.

Ever since Deck entered high school he has played on the baseball team except his sophomore year during which he took a vacation from athletics. When he again entered the field of athletics he amazed us by his variety of curves, in- shoots and drops which would dishearten the ordinary batter. However, this year Deck has preferred the outfield. Like t'Babe Ruth, Deck,' has a lusty swing. Most of the play- ers cannot lift t'Deck's mighty war club, which he swings as if it were a tooth-pick. Deck's ability is not limited to baseball, for when he gets the basket ball his opponents might just as well give up. Of course, one must add to this his well-known liking for the weaker sex. Just at present, he seems to be interested in a little girl he calls Loney,,' but as he seems to have several rivals, we wonder how his athletic prowress will help him in his affairs of the heart. EDNA DOBSON Domain Gilboa, New York Lessons may come and lessons may go, But f'Dobbie keeps on smiling. There are some people in this wlorld who, to all outward appearances, are absolutely carefree. Dobbie is one of this sort. Her smile seems to be invincible, and she always appears as if things might be a whole lot worse. She started in as a Freshman making life merry for the teachers and so has con- tinued right through. Lessons and exams are nothing to Dobbie-and it doesn't matter in the least if she Hunks -at least so we believe. But beware H Dobbie , there is a judgment day at hand.

t'Bill is a wonderful musician and has done a great deal in developing our school orchestra. For two years he was a star on the baseball team and his heavy hitting, in many instances, has turned the score in our favor. This year he became very popular as Hcheer leader at the basket ball games. Bill has a wonderful personality that has made him well liked by everyone, and we sincerely hope that he will be successful ,in his future life. RUTH HALL RUFUs Stamford, New York Ruth Hall is very sedate VVe wonder if she ever had a date, But nevertheless we must confess, That of our class she is the best. 7 Reveille staff '22, Editor-in-Chief Camera '25, Secretary and Treasurer of Class '22, '23, '24 and '25, Perhaps one of our most studlious girls is Ruth Hall. Ruthis valedictorian this year, and is surely worthy of the honor. Very little can be said about Ruth because she is al- ways quiet. However, her Bostonian accent is very noticeable and Ruth's temper is shown most when one jokes her about it. Next year, so I hear, she is to be one of the college Freshies . We wonder if she will lose any of her dignity then. IDA MAE HAMILTON HHAMH South Kortright, New York , Down the floor, down tl1e floor, There goes Ida to raise the score. Baseball '22, Basketball '22, '23 and '24. Ida came to Stamford Seminary from South Kortright. She has taken part in school activities, especially basketball in which she was a great help.
