12 THE WEATHER VANE ANNE REVERE The idea seems to prevail that Anne Revere is a studious and dignified young lady. Front all appearances, yes I We admit she has brains but as for being dignified ! During her high school career she has tried debating and basketball, starring in both. Her ambition will carry her far, and some day we hope to hear from her again. MURIEL RICH Muriel Rich, commonly called Mew” by those who know her well, is one of these quiet and unassuming girls—that is, in school. But once you gel her started she can not be stopped. On the class basketball team for the last three years, she has scored success and praise. HELEN RILEY Helen has won for herself a successful completion of her four years of hard work, and the recognition of the Underwood Typewriting Company in the awarding of a medal for speed and accuracy. Her congenial disposition and willingness to help others has gained for her the respect and admiration of some, but more, the love of many. HENRY SAMPSON Henry Sampson is not an unknown character in W. H. S. He is noted especially for a peculiar method of talking into his Radiophone, his hobby, and we wonder if his girl has a radio set. It is not hard to see that Henry will be a successful business man. HAROLD SCHAEFER Using the same logic. Dear Brutus might kill Harold Schaefer because Harold is trulv ambitious. He aspires toward Columbia, the bar, the legislature, to one of the ninety six in the high chamber. Harold is now on the right track having been both Treasurer and President of his class and an active debater. Harold enjoys H. G. Wells, Einstein, the sports, and dancing, proving that his field is broad.

THE WEATHER VANE 11 EDNA PERKINS Although called “Teddy, this pleasant addition to our class could hardly be called bearish for she’s continually smiling. From her activities in our class, she won her numerals in basketball in ’19, she was secretary of the class in ’20, in the Senior Play in ’22—one might gather that she is a highly serious-minded young lady; but appearances often are misleading, for “Teddy” is essentially peppy” and socally inclined. ELIZABETH PIERSON For several years Elizabeth Pierson’s cheery smile and ready humor has been familiar to the High School. That is, when she is here; for Betty is our society lady and only comes to school when there is nothing else to do. However, as Mrs. Wheeler, she added much to the success of the Senior play. They’ll miss her when she’s gone. WILLARD -BILL” PFAFF Bill” Pfaff, gentleman, scholar, sportsman and ladies’ man comes blowing into 101 every morning (hard as nails). Say, there, Gtlla- her. have you got my paper this morning? Hot dogs, the Giants won!” Bill” is a likable sort of fellow, fond of clean sports, and hard studies. During his administration in W. H. S. he served as captain of football. ’21 and captain of baseball, ’21. Enough said 1 MARJORIE PLANT Marjorie in school and Marjorie out of school are two entirely different people. In school she is quiet and unassuming, with a taste for athletics and a talent for languages. Outside she is given to laughing and making jokes regardless of time or occasion. She is sympathetic and frank, and affects a certain air of naivete by parting her hair in the middle and asking ingenious questions. HELEN RANKIN It was four years ago that she entered our school; She worked very hard, but she played as a rule; She is tall and stately, this girl in our class. But we all think her dandy from the first to the last.

THE WEATHER VANE 13 GRACE SCOTT Grace, alias Bunny”, blew down to us from Summit Avenue Hill, a windy place, which accounts for her breezy, congenial, happy-go-lucky manner. Btinny led us in song during our Freshman and Sophomore years; a shark at short-hand and typewriting, Bunny was recently awarded the Underwood medal. Next September will find her winning her way in business as she has in High School. GLADYS SORTOR Throughout her four years of High school, Gladys has shown her ability in her academic course. She has merited the title of Class Stenog,” and has received from the Remington and Underwood Typewriter Companies her certificate and Medal for speed and accuracy in typewriting. With such continued efforts, she is sure to be successful in the business world. KATHERINE NOBLE A most congenial and likeable girl in the person of Tot” Noble came down from Somerville to join us in February 1921. As captain and guard of our class basketball team in 1922 she has done exceedingly well, and deserves noteworthy praise for her work as editor-in-chief of the school magazine. We are very glad to claim her as a member of the class of ’22. GORDON STEWART Gor is a quiet, studious brunette. His long slender feet indicate that he is an ideal dancer s many of the girls have found out. As his picture indicates he is exceedingly handsome (perhaps another attraction for the opposite sex.) But that’s not half—when you really know him you find out what a student, philosopher, and ladics’-man he is. DONALDSON SWAIN In every class, in every school, there is a group of salient characters. Don Swain is a member of this group. Class and school cheer leader. Manager of Basketball and track in '21-22. Vitally interested and participating in every movement of his class. The living personification of “Clarence.” the part that he so successfully interpreted in the Senior Play.
