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.

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.

T H E WEATHER VANE 15 PHYLLIS WATTS There really isn’t much t her. hut then “it’s the little things that tell.” (as the girl said of her little brother.) And so we've been hearing from her off and on throughout the whole four years, until in her Senior year she gave us a parting word by coining forth in dram-ti«s. It was a farewell speech, we say. to make her remembered. FRANK WELDON “Stony” Weldon is one of our class landmarks. friendly and cheerful, and ever ready to help out with school or class activities, lie has defended his school and class in football for several years, and upheld the honor of '22 in basketball and interclass track: everybody likes him and lie’s known as a hard and willing worker—a live wire. JESSIE WELLER As we stop to think about it we realize we don’t know very much about Jessie; and as we start up a conversation with her we find something in her shrinking modesty that keeps us from inquiring, and so we put her down as one we couldn’t get on without. ADRIAN L. WILCOX We have depicted here the likeness of our honorable friend Adrian L. Wilcox. He is a very nice chap and has many accomplishments to boast of. among them: radio, football, mechanics and an ability to withstand the onslaught of the “weaker sex.’’ Keep up the good work, old timer. ALICE M. WRIGHT Athlete, poet, orator, and philosopher! These are the words with which, after our four years acquaintance, we would summarize our class-mate whom you see represented here. She has distinguished herself in the past, as we hope she will in the future, by the zeal and ardour with which : he has accomplished her tasks.
