Of course it took him quite, a long time to get the old school out of his mind. but after a year spent among the pines at dear old Thayer, he has pledged his allegiance anew. Bill is genial and entertaining com- pany, for l1G'S a clever punster and impersonator. You've missed it if you haven't seen him in the characters of Neal O'Hara, Joe Toye, et al.

LILLIAN ELIZABETH PATTERSON CBetsyJ Skidmore Shes bonny, blooming, straight, and tall Through all her activities here at Thayer, Betsy has shown an indomitable spirit which makes her every venture a success. Her good nature is always evidentg her generosity is unboundedg her sympathetic ear is ever ready for the troubles of others, though she is persistently silent about her own. Betsy always knows what to wear, whom to invite, what to say, and when to say it-in short, is thoroughly acquainted with all the niceties of social conduct, and, best of all, understands the a1't of being a friend.

PAUL HACKETT NOTTAGE Dartmouth Glowing with haste and happiness Paul is another individual with a school-girl complexion, a ready smile, and the epicurean philosophy: Eat, sleep, and be merry, for tomorrowls a school day. His hobby and especial delight consists of being late as many mornings as possible. Paul's interests are mainly athletic, in football, basketball, and hockey he has dis- tinguished himself. Occasionally, however, in the corridor we see a conference group that makes us believe Paul's interests aren't so athletic as we thought they were. Paul has also served faith- fully on the hard job of getting ads for the year book. XYhercver you go next year, Paul, we wish you good luck and success.

CAROLYN PERRY Wellesley 'Time but adds splendor to fame so fair Carolyn is equally adept in driving her roadster, chasing a hockey ball, or preparing a lesson in Math. Through her, the whole team shares the glory of the B. F. H. A. emblem which she is en- titled to wear. Constant as that far-famed 'tquantityu in Math., Carolyn has proved herself eligible for honorable mention among students. Moreover, as secretary of our class, she has written invitations that have a distinctive charm Cas has Carolynb, which not even the faculty can resist.

Besides excelling in his studies, he is the able founder and head of the Hi-Y here at Thayer, and a dependable supporter of all activities that engage his interests. Not alone through his efliciency has Bill made a name for himself among us, but through his unfailing courtesy and fineness of spirit. Yes, Bill, the German class, the fellows, the girls,-everybody is glad you came. Pl'0tY'llI0'Ill of Hi-Y.

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.

ELEANONR PETERSON cieetep Wheaton 'fBlue-eyed and fair in face Fellow class-mates: - Since I came over from YVollaston in the fall of '28, I have divided most of my time between helping to run the Girls' Club and attending the lVollaston Theatre. Between times I manage to do a little studying, a little riding, and a little sporting. I am slightly bashful about expatiating in class, and not unwilling to give others that opportunity. I'm glad that I came to spend a year at Thayer! It certainly has been a most happy and enjoyable stay. PETE. Twenty-nine has counted itself fortunate to have you, Eleanor.
