Holyoke 'fFair she was, and pure, As you ever wish your Knights to be Jin, Babs, and Aline are the three inseparables. The major passion of the three is riding-anything, in fact, to do with horses. Some day Jin is going to own a livery stable. CShe may let Babs be assistant groomlb Not only does Jin hold the non-stop record for saying more words in one breath than any other known mortal, but she can also listen with a sympathetic ear to our small chatter. Don't try to beat Jin at camping, hiking, or nature lore. It can't be done! ' Glce Club, 1, Girls' Club, 1. MARJORIE TI-IAXTER BARHAM CMarj.D Roses are her cheeks, , And a rose her mouth Marjorie is one of our shining stars in athletics. In basketball, put the ball in her hands and the basket is as good as made. Then, too, she certainly can take the hockey ball down the field. Many is the time she has changed a game from infamous defeat to glorious victory. A muddy field makes no difference to Marj. She's won her way into our hearts, this girl who can slide to Victory just as well as she can run there. Hockey, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Basketball, 2, Glee Club, 2, 1, Honor Dance Group, 1, Girls' Club 1. NATALIE FLORENCE BATCHELDER CNatl Wheaton The sweetest little maidl' Natalie, like her sister Velma was one of the mainstays of the championship hockey team last fall. Shelll help put Wheaton on the hockey map. Natalie likes movies and dances, especially movies, and is always ready for a good laugh. Studying is not Natalie's favorite pastime, but she accepts it as a necessary evil. And, lest we forget, Natalie is the second member of the well-known trium- virate, which also includes Velma and 'Winnie May their shadows never grow less!

FRANCES ALDRICH tFrannieJ Mt, Holyoke In whose least act abides a nameless charm We just naturally turn to Frannie to represent us as a class officer, in the Student Council, and in the Girls' Club. She's eve1'ybody's pal. When Frannie's ship comes in, she'll steer it out again-directly for Paris. She's not missing any opportunities in acquiring the language even now, with four or five other HA's,' a year to boot. May your lovely smile, Frannie, Gnd its way at Mt.

BARBARA ELLIS CBabsJ Wellesley I A certain miracle of symmetry A miniature of lovelirzess, all grace summed up and closed in little Babs may be little, but she certainly can take care of herself. VVhen she clinches her fists and begins to wave her arms, whether she is off stage or on, watch out! She backs up our hockey team, stars in our dramatics, and brings home a long string of A'sl'! She adores movies, but horseback riding is her passion. E-ee-ee!! VVellesley will certainly be aware of genius in her fold next year.

JOHN ALFRED HAGEN M. I. T. I leave thy greatness to be guessed' The first we heard of John was at the time when Mr. South- worth announced his name on the Honor Roll back in the fifth class days, and since then the name of Hagen has come to mean much to us. John's way of etting things done has brought him to the stage managership of the Senior Middle Play, to a place on the Student Council, and to the Editorship of the Year Book. In ad- dition to these accomplishments, John has won a place for him- self in our hearts, where he will stay for a long time. John is going to M. I. T. next year, and we know that he'll be liked and respected there just as much as he has been at Thayer.
