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.

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.

His quick wit, origi- nality, and ever present sense of humor make him many friends. As for drawing-ever since he used to entertain the Sixth Class with drawings on the black-board, we have seen in Eddie the mak- ings of a famous cartoonist. Shortly after our Senior-Middle play, Mr. Leggett was heard to remark to him, t'Monsieur Ruggles, comme acteur vous etes merveilleux .

BARBARA EVERETT TAYLOR Smith 'tTl1y morlesly is a canrlle to thy merit Barbara is one of the most quiet, modest, and retiring members of the class. Don't let this statement mislead you though, for she is really as lively as the liveliest upon occasion. Sad to relate, she hides her talents under a bushel. She is very clever in all outdoor sports, shines in tennis and golf, and is a connoisseur of sail boats. Girls' Club, 1, Glu' Clztb, 3, 2, 1. ROBERT HENRY SCHULZE, JR. CBobD Harvarrl HI flare zlo all that may become at man, Who flares clo more ts Hone Bob is the kind of a fellow that considers lessons before pleas- ure, and, in consequence thereof has often made teachers of chemistry and of Latin marvel. However, one cannot consider him a grind in the true sense of the word, as he is always on deck when the football season is in full swing, having occupied a wing position on the team for two years. In track, too, Bob is a potential utop- notcherm. As stage manager of our play and director of photographs for the year book, he has shown both ability and dependability.
