16 015132 Blue aah white upholstering business. Favorite pastime: Getting her Bill at the first of the month. MARY ELLEN MCCULLOUGH. Flag committee 113. Top of the morning to ye! says Mary, though not above a whisper. Mary is proud of being Irish. She would proclaim it more loudly if she were not so bashful. You'd never know she was talking if you didn't see her mouth move. Mary's chief ambition is to beat Snap Day getting A's. Unless she comes out of her trance, she is a sure candidate for the Old Maids' Club. Favorite pastime: Reciting in Vocal Culture. GLADYS MAY METCALF. Glad. Freshmen reception committee 11Jg Halloween social 11Dg Dance com- mittee 11J 3 Cheer leader 111 3 Assistant manager High School play 115 g Hal- loween social 125. Gladys is a firm devotee of Spencerian verse and may often be seen 1but not heardl reading it. She says that her favorite beverage is Honey. Gladys is something of a gossip, but we don't think she'll ever join the Old Maids' Club. She has to be treated with great tact or she'll ily into a tantrum, and from what we hear she is a holy terror when she gets a-going. Favorite pastime?--The Lord may know, but we don't. Doaorniz LEONA Nason. Dot,,' the Second. Decorating committee. As a Church goer and a movie fan Dot is our 'champeen. She is equally well posted on Bible facts and on movie life. Dot has an awfully good reputation, but we are inclined to think that when she's alone she's as much of a sinner as the rest of us. Why does Dodge take so long getting home from the Latin Club meetings? Favorite pastime: Telling us Who's who in the movies. GEORGE DEWEY NEWHALL. Dance committee 115 3 Operetta 12D 5 High School orchestra 123 g Hal- loween social committee 125. When it comes to making speeches, Newhall has a style of his own. He is also a great mathematician. Ask him who decorated Napoleon in the French room. Anything that Newhall owns is the best possible. Without him the Republican party would have to go out of business. So far as we know, Newhall's affections are solely his own and he will probably be an old bach.,' Favorite pastime: Playing in the High School orchestra. GEORGE ALBERT NICHOLS. Nokia Varsity football 111, High School play 115 121, Varsity baseball 12Jg Assistant manager baseball 125 3 class baseball 143. Uncle Tom Nichols, our only undertaker, is one of South Windham's best products. He is a versatile actor, and will probably make his fortune on the stage. Nick,' is one of those unfortunates who fell a prey to the

mba Blue anh white 15 is studying for the ministry, if we can believe him, but it is our private opin- ion that it will take some studying. 'Mert,' is a claimant for the title of the most distinguished looking personage in 1917. Favorite pastime: Doing the unexpected. ERNEST ARTHUR LEIGHTON. Ev-ny. Halloween social committee 115 3 Freshmen reception committee 115 3 Commercial editor of BLUE AND WHITE 115 3 Halloween social committee 125 3 Decorating committee 1253 Class colors committee 145. Erny is our oilicial antiquarian and investigator. His oilice hours are 2-5 every afternoon in the library. He is an enthusiastic follower of the Oom- mercial Department. Lately he has started in saving his money to buy an auto. We wonder why? SUMNER WINSLOW LE1cHToN. Hooky. High School play 115 125 3 Assistant business manager of BLUE AND WHITE 1152 Varsity debating team 115g Halloween social committee 115 1253 Thanks- giving dance 115g Operetta 1253 Decorating committee 1253 cheer leader 115 125 1353 Ring committee 125. Hooky is generally recognized as the cutest boy of 1917. It is truly remarkable how so big a noise can come from so small a body, but as a cheer leader Hooky can't be beat. He used to be a ladies' man 1?5 but quite recently he has sworn off. Some people say he has sworn back on again. He was one of the many who were unable to survive Junior French. According to Dodge, he has actually been mentally unhinged ever since he took the sub- ject. Favorite pastimes: Saying Godfrey Dormons and calling on Mabel. FLORENCE ELEANOR LIBBEY. Alumni editor of BLUE AND WHITE 115 3 Varsity debating team 115 3 Hal- loween social committee 125 3 BLUE AND WHITE distributing committee 125 3 Operetta 125 3 Girls' debating team 125 3 Graduation decorating committee 125. For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. Here we have the brains of the Senior Class. Florence does not believe Silence is a virtue, and may often be heard expressing her views on many and various subjects. She is always on the lookout for a chance to argue, and when words fail her, which is seldom, we hear that she can use her finger nails quite ably. Favorite pastime: Talking. . THELMA BERNICE MAASBYLL. Class treasurer 115 3 Freshmen reception committee 115 3 Thanksgiving dance 115 3 Usher at High School play 115 3 Committee on financial affairs of class 115 3 Vaudeville show 135. Thelma believes in peace at any price, and never participates in class meeting discussions. She is a shy retiring maid and would far rather read her Bible and learn all about the Jordan than to be a society belle. Hooky Leighton was once heard to say that Thelma had hair enough to go into the

Eb: Blue ant white 17 Vampire group, but this should not be laid up against him. Without him Senior Vocal Culture A would disband. Ask him about his visit to the Girls' Social Olub. Favorite pastime : Playing checkers and telling funny C?1 stories. Lsunurm MAE PHILLIPS. Dance committee C11. Lauretta is the first member of the Vampire group, and is also another lover of Spencerian verse. She is junior member of the firm Vallee and Phillips. We wonder what she wears that ring for. Lauretta talks French almost as fast as Gaby. Her chief worry is trying to keep up with K. V. She is certainly a little spicy, and knows how to stand up for her rights. Favorite pastime: Walking with Esther. MARY ELIZABETH PIKE. ' 'Babel' Mistress of property at High School play C11 3 Halloween social C11 : Music committee C21 Q Olass secretary C21 g Operetta C21 : Alumni editor of BLUE AND WHITE C21: Halloween social C21g Vaudeville show C31. Behold this golden-haired, roly-poly, little blonde, the champeen lady prize fighter of our class! What's that? Oh, yes, that thing behind her is her dog-at least that's what she calls it. Elizabeth used to be a student of WarCren1, but lately she has become very much interested in birds, especially in HawkCe1s. She is very quick tempered Cwhich is why we have taken out a life insurance policy1. Favorite pastime: Waiting for the fatal day. Amos MAY PLUMMER. Usher at High School play C11. Look at her carefully. According to Snap Day, she is the naughtiest girl in the class. Alice used to be a simple country lass, but since coming to Westbrook she has improved C!1 wonderfully. She is studying French hard, so that she can enter the shoe business. Alice takes no interest in school affairs, never having been to a class dance. But we should worry. Favorite pastime: Looking at herself in a glass. EDWARD MARTIN Powsns. Honey '- Doc. Football C11 C21 C31g Assistant manager basketball C113 Manager base- ball C11: Freshman reception committee C11g Auditing committee C11: Vice- president of Assembly C11 g Class president C31 g Ring committee C21 3 Basket- ball C21. Are you there? Doc is an astute politician, While in school, and a first-class C?1 pharmacist while outside. Although a comparative new-comer to our class, he may be called The power behind the throne. Honey may be held responsible for a good part of those delicious aromatic odors which drift from the laboratory. Recently Doc has fallen victim to the chief of the Vampire group. We hope he will recover soon. Favorite pas- time: Mixing 'em up.
