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.

RUSSELL LAWRENCE PIERCY QBusD Northeastern 'fHis words gave satisfaction, as when a coin tested, rings true gold Behold the youth who put hockey on the map at Thayer.. Bus has proved himself a good hockey manager, efficient and discrimi- nating, selecting with care foemen worthy of our steel . Quite a tourist too is A'Bus . VVhen not traveling with the hockey tearn, he may be seen with the track manager, either taking a trip upstairs to visit the under-classmen or else going to or from the coach's office.

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. Football, lg Glee Club, 1. 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.

AUDREY VIRGINIA SCAMMELL CCamJ Smith f'Fair and wise is she Two years ago, Audrey came to us from Milton, a quiet lass, who was content to pursue her studies and tend her own affairs. Thayer, however was quick to realize the friend and scholar it had in her, and did not hesitate to accept her as a true helper. Surely, none of us has such a literary background as Audrey, who. we believe, has read every book which has been published-from history to the novel. She has other talents, as her hockey record shows. Smith should be proud to claim fair Audrey in the fall. May you receive the favor and esteem elsewhere that you have received here, Cam',.

WILLIAM ROSS CBILLD Ilaruarzl f'He braced hz'msclj Io the crquisile burden of life Bill is one of those fellows whom people can't help liking, and in saying people-H, we include ourselves and the young ladies, as well as the faculty. That is saying a whole lot, for it is pretty hard to be liked by the student body all of the time, or by more than a few girls at the same time. IVe therefore congratulate Bill. and hope that he may perhaps give us a few pointers on 'tHow to be Liked . MARJORIE CHRISTINE SMITH Emerson f'VVilh many a social virtue fjl'lICf'd'l Marjorie's a maid of moods- Now she's gay and smiling, Now she's pensive and aloof, Yet, all in all, beguiling. She can mimic whom you please, Or make a dress of fashion, Dance the latest steps with ease Or con a stiff translation. Hockey, 5, 4, 3, 2, 15 Girls' Club, 1, Glec Club, 2, 1, Play flommiltee, 2.
