MISS FAITH TALCOTT Wc are only a few of the thousands of young people whom Miss Faith Talcott has watched and guided as we passed through the experiences of high school. We are only a humble few of the thousands who have admired and looked up to her. Her wisdom has often pointed out to us the honorable way to solve our petty prob¬ lems, and her aid has made burdensome problem s seem simple. Her kindness and sym¬ pathy have encouraged us to take our various difficulties to her. Many have learned that she is a charming and worthy friend as well as an excellent counselor. Miss Talcott has worked tirelessly with the girls of Weaver and the faculty to carry on the Girls’ League. Her spirit is symbolic of that which the girls have at¬ tempted to keep alive through this organization. [ 14 ]

RUSSELL D. BAKER Biology Massachusetts State College, B.S. Mr. Baker is an enthusiastic de¬ votee of the out-of-doors. His sum¬ mers are spent on a farm in Maine where an apple orchard is develop¬ ing under his proud eyes. Poultry, fishing, hiking, skiing—all these help make life interesting for him. ELIZABETH E. BEAN Librarian Micldlebury College, B.A.; Columbia University (School of Library), B.S. Miss Bean has lent many a plea¬ sant smile and helping hand to pu¬ pils who seemed lost in the library. Her amazing knowledge of books has made the library still more helpful to Weaver students. Her hobbies outside of school include hiking, badminton, and reading, at which she spends much of her spare time. HARRIET D. BEST World History and Vocational Guidance Mount Holyoke, B.A.; Columbia University You’ll never know how interest¬ ing history can be if you haven’t at¬ tended one of Miss Best’s classes. The subjects discussed range from her own personal experiences to those of Napoleon Bonaparte—and they’re all very interesting! When she isn’t teaching, her time is spent at golf, gardening, and badminton. MIRETTA L. BICKFORD History University of Maine, A.B. Miss Bickford’s motherly interest in the students and her ability to teach well have placed her among the most well-liked members of the faculty. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to a lax stu¬ dent to aid him in marching along the straight and narrow path. JENNETTE BODURTHA Biology and Physiology Mount Holyoke College, B.A. Miss Bodurtha’s amiable dispo¬ sition and placid benign spirit have made her a popular teacher at Weaver. Many of us are grateful to her for a definite knowledge in science and for ready assistance, when we were in trouble. Miss Bodurtha’s leisure hours are spent in flower gardening. EDGAR A. CARRIER Mathematics Micldlebury, B.A. Mr. Carrier’s classes are very, very amusing and lots of fun. His stories and sparkling wit, together with his ironic humor,— well, we’re at a loss for words. He knows his algebra, and he knows his tennis (his hobby, you know!) People like Mr. Carrier make a student’s life an interesting adven¬ ture. [ 16 ]
