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.

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.

14 THE WEATHER VANE J. TENNENT TAYLOR Four long years ago the eighth grade brought forth unto this High School, a promising prodigy, possessed with divers powers, adorned with “specs, and devoted to the idea that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” For four years he has been engaged in a whirlpool of books, distinguished as a member of the debating team in his Sophmore year, in his Junior year, and in his Senior year. The school will never forget what he said here, nor what he did here. ELIZABETH TREMAINE “Betty” or “Libby,” whichever you choose, has been with us all four years of High School. Her cheery face and congenial smile have done much to shorten those long years. She d-nces, and draws pretty posters, she can joke and play basketball too. And oh ye she’s some bluffer, pardon us, for we’ve never yet seen her study or carry hooks. RUTH TREMAINE Ruth Tremaine came into High School in her Sophomore year. During the remaining two years she has taken an active interest in all proceedings of the school and especially of '22. She has been one of the people you can rely on to support any new enterprise. We hope she wilLremain as wide awake, full of pep and independence, when she leaves school as she now is. VIRGINIA WALKER Virginia always ambitious, always willing to give advice, completes her fourth year of torture with ’22. In ’19. ’20 and ’21 she nobly upheld the position of guard on our Class Basketball Team. She has also distinguished herself in other fields. We know her for neatness and good dancing. Xe.xt September she expects to honor the halls of Wheaton with her presence. CECILY YATLINGT( L Cecily Watlington has won her way through four years of High School by her engaging manner. And who knows what subtle influence upon the faculty the charm of a coquettish smile may have had in determining scholastic records? She has endeared herself to the hearts of all her classmates. She has also shown evidence of dramatic ability, displayed especially by her part in our Senior Day program.
