Uackl A man of such a genial mood Who is this young man so full of quiet dignity that even when he was a prep, people mistook him for a precocious senior? It is Jack Kelley, the possessor of many worthy distinctions. Best of all these, perhaps, is his remarkable mastery of the art of minding his own business. Partly, no doubt as a reward of this rare virtue, Jack has received the approbation of all of his classmates. lYhen we have necd of a person to run our dances, to further our causes, or to bolster up school spirit, it is to .lack that we tum. In short, Jack is a boy whose friendship is worth having-a fellow's friend. Football, 4, 3, 2, Orchestra, 5, 4, 3, 1, Glee Club, 3, 2, Dance Committee, 2, 1, Play Committee, 2. Q .

School of Art A maiden fair to see As a follower of the Muses, Ruth may be seen almost any day showing her fellow class-mates how to succeed in the Terpsichorean art, or in any other pursuits sacred to the Nine. So you may be sure that the effects on Thayer of her short sojourn have all been beneficial. Moreover, we may say that Ruth knows whereof she speaks, and it is further rumored that she does not always speak of all she knows. Girls' C lub, 1.

CHARLOTTE KIMBALL CShi-Shih Swarthmore Therefs nane sae bonnyj few sae guid In a' King George dominion Surely few have earned the title All-round girl more justly than our Charlotte. Her smile from behind the lunch counter each day bears witness to her good nature, her ability to get things done is in evidence whenever and wherever her services are enlisted. An excellent horse-woman, a hockey enthusiast, a musician of more than local fame, actress, and last but not least, a mainstay of the Honor Roll-All these is Charlotte. Do you wonder we are proud of such a Versatile classmate?

Y GEORGE WILTON JENNESS Northeastern MOM' flaitery welll keep for some other, Him only it's justice to praise George Jenness, one of our new members, is so well known now that an introduction at this time seems superfluous. Be assured his friendship has been worth cultivating. He understands how to take a task, no matter what its kind, and accomplish it quietly and cer- tainly,-in fact, with an air of real enjoyment.

Here beginneth Safed the saga another tale: f'Up from the busy 'White IVay' of a metropolis there came a captain, big and strong and stout of heart. And it came to pass that because of his great powers and strength and smile he was acclaimed by all his fellows. His fame spread even unto the quiet country-side of such places as Holbrook and Randolph. Now, unfortunately, he took up studying, and because of his strong push and mighty swing, all feared his stick in geometry demonstrations. But it came to pass that one day a beloved teacher stood near, and had not that teacher deviated more than one iota, truly she would have been split in twain. Wherefore this 'Boz' gave up geometry. Thus ended Saled the saga. Football, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Baseballg Basketball, 5, 4, 3, 2, lg Hi-Y, 1, Glec Club, 2. FRIEDA LOUISE OGGIER Radcliffe Knowledge is proud that sho has learned so much Here lieginneth Safed the Saga his last tale: In the school called Thayer there studieth many a boy and girl. Among them is one who shineth alike in class room and on the field of sport. Oft hath her name appeared on Thayer's scroll of honor, nor was she absent when the maidens of her class bore off the prize in hockey and in basketball. Besides, much doth she do in the Girls, Club meetings and Glee Club recitals. Nowhere a busier maid can there be found. Thus endeth Safed the Saga.
