WILSON Matron at Dickinson Hall Edna Allen Chicopee Edna Mrs. Patty Lee Clark has a rival in dramatization, for Edna will soon be publishing her plays. How proud West- field Normal School will be of its new genius! The Literary Club has sought and appreciated her services. We wish her a happy and brilliant future. Helen Bailey Florence Helen Helen is a girl who is liked by all who meet her and is an inspiration to those who know her. We admire her dignity which was so well shown in the play, King ' s English. How happy she is in playing the role of the com- poser of the Marsellaise! Alice Burkhardt Holyoke Burky Hail to our beloved House President who was wont to steal through the halls with a sh on her lips. For four weeks Alice honored our Literature Club oy being its president. Ah, the joys and trials of a club president. Assemblies are Alice ' s chief delight. How about it, Burky? Leota Burgum Westfield Leote Leota is a native of Westfield. She is a quiet, cons cientious, earnest stu- dent. We know, Leota, your future as a teacher is assured for your sincerity and earnest endeavor must be rewarded. 1 Maude Baldwin Holyoke Maude Everyone knows Maude Baldwin. A Baldwin? Yes, but not an apple. She ' s more like a peach. Maude plays the hymns for us daily in assembly, but that ' s not all. Who hasn ' t danced to Maude ' s jazz in the gym? Mary Black Northampton ' ' Blackie Here is a girl — popular and jolly, who appreciates a good joke. She en- joys whatever she undertakes; you can see it in the twinkle of her eyes. Mary intends to teach in West Warren. We wish her luck whether she teaches school — or keeps house. Catherine Browne Westfield • ' Cass Oh, this learning! Methinks ' twill drive me mad. Cass ' s pleasant smile and friendly manner have made for her a host of friends. Being athletically inclined she has indulged in basketball during her senior year. This and the movies are Cass ' s favorite sports. Grace Brown Holyoke Grace One of our best athletes. Her work in basketball is worthy of considerable praise. If you are in need of a help- ing hand look for Grace, for she is al- ways willing to deprive herself in order to satisfy the wants of a friend. Good luck, Grace. Theresa Brassil Holyoke Terry ' ' Theresa has a little whimsical smile that sometimes makes one wonder if she may not be keeping to herself some very good joke. We all like her and should like to hear more of her ideas. Why deprive us of them, Theresa? Muriel Bready Westfield Muriel You know the saying, Still water runs deep. This could be well applied to Muriel. If artistic ability is wanted, Muriel can easily fill the requirement In penmanship, Muriel has no rival and we expect the Palmer Company will soon be demanding her services. Alice Chamberlain Worcester Al Alice came to us after two years at the State Normal School in Worcester and one year at Northfield Seminary. Our hearts have been won by her kind- ness and generosity, and our best wishes accompany her in her literary pur- suits. Anna Chambers Westfield ' Anner ' Happy am I, from care I am free, Why aren ' t they all contented like me? Belonging to a talented family Anner has been much in demand at entertainments. Her graceful dancing, her joyous spirits, and bubbling enthus- iasm have made her one of the most popular girls in the class. Esther Chambers Westfield Ezder Enter the other Heavenly Twin. Her ready smile won her the one-half title of Best Natured girl. The twins are vivacious, charming and interesting. Mandolin Club ' 23- ' 24, Glee Club ' 23 ; Prom Committee ' 23, Basketball ' 24. She is always helpful in all activities. Marion Chandler West Hatfieid Marion Play ball is a familiar sound, and we know that Marion will not disap- point us. We congratulate you, Marion, on the quick and clever ways that you make the baskets. We admire your de- termined manner and feel certain that you ' ll be successful in whatever you attempt. Katherine Claire Northampton Kitty Sounds of laughter and merriment — enter Kitty! When Kitty talks, everything as well as everyone stops — even the stars seem to listen to what she has to say. Friends like you count. Kitty, and make the parting in June all the harder. Eleanor Clark Worthington Lenor ' What ' s the assignment for tomor- row, Eleanor? How many times has that question been asked; for Eleanor always took and kept assignments for tomorrow. We like to go to her for help, for she is always eager to be of assistance and always good natured. May the best of luck be yours, Eleanor. Anna Cain Pittsfield Anna We were not long in choosing Anna our cleverest girl. She does not talk much but when she does she always says something. We hardly recognized her as stupid, drawling Simple Simon, but didn ' t she play the part! We can see Fame and Anna clasping hands. Beatrice Callahan Pittsfield ' Bea Bea is intensely interested in auto- mobiles. At one time her favorite was a Ford truck. What now, Bea ? Dur- ing her reign on the pike as proctor, she gained the confidence and friendship of all under her care. A successful fu- ture is our wish for Bea. Patrice Corcoran Chicopee Ticey It has often been said that good things are done up in small packages We realize the truth of this statement when we learn to know Ticey. Al- though she is small in stature no one can deny that she is large of heart. Dorothy Corey Westfield Dot Dot came to us a shy, demure junior, but left us a dignified school teacher. Dorothy is always eager to please and has never been known to make an unkind remark. May you have the best of luck, Dot, and may all the joys of teaching be yours. Katherine Cronin Pittsfield ' Cronie ' Cronie is one of our neatest girls. To look at her you would think her quiet and demure, but she, too, has, found it necessary to take refuge in a clothes-press. We shall remember Cronie ' s sunny disposition and will- ingness to help everyone. Alice Curley North Adams Al Alice ' s auburn tresses which she ar- ranges so becomingly make her a very outstanding girl. She early found a kindred spirit in Margaret O ' Leary and together they have experienced the jovs of W. N. S. Anne Collins Springfield Anne Anne surprised and pleased everyone by entering the ranks of the bobbed haired. Her spare time has always been spent in some outside worth while activity. She is one of those good- natured friendly girls that make the world a pleasant place in which to live. Mary Connolly Mary Springfield The classiest girl in the class of 1924. This title shows only one reason why Mary is so attractive and well- liked. She has brightened the academic work of her normal school career with a dose of her own originality. Every basketball game has seen her assistant cheer leader. Rowena Damon Chesterfield ' Rotv ' Row well represents the class of 1924. She has served us on committees, frequently entertained in assembly, and proved most capable as our first class secretary. Recently, we chose her as one of the most dignified girls in our class. Yes, she can be serious although she is a fun-loving girl. Lorna Derby Westfield Lorna Can I help you? Who said that? Sure enough it ' s Lorna; she ' s always ready to help. Lorna is very kind- hearted and generous and all of us have grown to love her. Jessica Dickinson West Springfield Jack Small in stature, big of heart, — that ' s Jack. To know her is to love her. Jack ' s three delights are sing- ing, dancing, and swimming. That your career as a teacher may be as successful as your two years at Westfield Normal is the wish of your friends of ' 24. Pauline Dorenbaum Springfield Pauline The neatest girl. Does not that title convey just one of the many charm- ing characteristics of Pauline? She never bobbed her hair and a glimpse of her marcelled tresses makes us more than delighted that she didn ' t. Elizabeth Dowd Chicopee Falls Liz Naturally we understand why people turn to look twice at Liz. For the same reason, 1924 elected her the Class beauty. Liz is a very happy girl. With Loretta and Lil she goes along with a smile for everybody. The chil- dren she teaches will be fortunate. Helen Doyle Pittsfield ' Doylie Toiling, rejoicing, sor — no not sor- rowing, for Helen never frowns. That is why we chose her the best sport in our class. In our junior year, Helen ' s popularity won her the office of class treasurer. Farewell, Doylie, we shall never foreget you! Alice Dunn Lenox AV A tall slender lass is Alice. We wonder whether she will be as quiet after she has taught school awhile You think her reserved until you know her — then you discover all the wit and fun concealed beneath that mask. Rosemary Durkee Springfield ' Mae Pretty in name, pretty in person — that ' s Mae. She appears quiet and demure, but wait until you know her! Her voice is the envy of every student and the trial of every teacher. We are sure Mae will succeed, but we some- times wonder how long she will teach. How about it, Mae ? Anna Fallon Anna Springfield If the girl with the prettiest bob were specified on our ballot, Anna would surely have a unanimous vote. Anna is demure, sweet, and artistic. Her knack of wearing clothes well makes her the object of much admira- tion. Helen Fenton Helen Holyoke Fun! This means He len. Through- out the two years, her many friends have grown to love her, always finding her cordial and friendly. She is good natured, attractive, and popular. The class of ' 24 wishes success for you. Helen. Anna Ford Dalton Fordie ' Hail! our class president, most dig- nified and most promising student. Fordie has an enviable personality and an unusual capacity for making friends. _ She is not very tall, but ail look up ' to her. We predict a bright future for you, Fordie. Marcella Garvey Springfield Marcella Wait for me, Marcella. Whenever you hear this little cry, you know that Marcella is going without Mary. Look at her and you think Marcella quiet and shy; talk to her and you quickly change your mind. Her many fine characteris- tics make her a general favorite. Margaret Ferriter Westfield Peg She is a winsome wee thing. Small — but oh my! It was not until the senior year that we discovered Peg ' s executive ability and elected her our vice-president. Peg, although diminutive, in size, has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that brains are not dependent upon stature. Katherine Ferry Pittsfteld Ferry A brisk step along the corridor, a bobbed head pops into the room, we hear a witty remark, and know it is Ferry. What prank she will play next we never know. Her boyish man- ner, ready wit, and good nature have won her many friends. Margaret Gleason Springfield Peggy 7.34. ATI aboard! No, not all, for here comes Margaret. Does she miss the train? No, for she is really proficient in making every second count. We predict a delightful future for Margaret and hope her dreams of a rural school will be realized. Marion Goodrow Dalton Marion Here we find a quiet, sympathetic girl but not so quiet that she can ' t see good jokes or join in foolish stunts. If Mar- ion makes her pupils talk the way she makes pianos talk — well, somebody ' s worries about finding a good teacher will be over. Mary Greenan Springfield Mary Despite the fact that Mary has been overworked because of her ability to play, she has been so cheerful and smiling that no one can question her popularity. Fannie and Mary are as inseparable as the Gold Dust twins What a cheer leader she is! Gertrude Heath Huntington Gertrude As for bidding me not work, one might as well put the kettle on the fire and say, Now don ' t boil. An unassuming maiden is Gertrude. Her years here have proved her to be studious and conscientious, and a credit to her class. Who could wish for a more diligent scholar? Loretta Grady Chicopee Falls Loretta Here ' s a girl that ' s ready to lend a helping hand — be it in drawing or in curling somebody ' s hair. As everyone knows, Loretta has one of the best looking bobs in school. Good-looking? Yes. Good dancer? Yes, and there ' s no doubt as to her good comradeship. Fannie Gray Springfield Fannie Fannie is sincere, artistic, sensible, and accurate, but the heavy burden of these virtues does not weigh her down. As president of the Literary Club she showed the qualities of a born leader She is always laughing and is not over- proud of her collegiate style of hair- dressing. Ida Hubbell Mittineague Ida Another quiet member of 1924! Work before play is Ida ' s motto, and her secret of preparedness. Ida never worries when she is asked to give a five minute talk and she certainly gives some fine lectures. Beatrice Kaiser Woodsville, N. H. Bea Classmates like her instinctively, perhaps because of her sunny smile and happy nature. Though small in stature, she is great in the requisites of a good friend. Glee Club both years. Bea came from New Hampshire to attend our Westfield Normal School. May she never be sorry! Katherine Kelley Chicopee Falls Kathy After you ' ve known Kathy a very short time, you ' ll agree she has a most pleasing personality. Kathy is pop- ular, witty, and good natured — and the class of 1924 wishes her the greatest possible success. Dorothea Kenney Springfield Dot Dot, one of the youngest in our class, is envied for her ability in gym- nastics. Her curly bob and never-end- ing supply of good-looking clothes serve to increase her attractiveness. She was voted the best dancer, because she is. She sang and danced in the Lost Necklace. Gladys Levesque Indian Orchard Happy Gladys is considered the busiest girl in our class. She is always ready to do her part whether in class or school work, or in play, so her name never fails to appear on committee lists — we know we can rely on Happy. Eva Lebenson Pittsfield Eve A close rival of Irene Castle! That is our estimate of Eva when we watch her dance. Did anyone mention clothes? Just watch Eva and you will gain many valuable points. Is she ever gloomy? Never! Her jolly good nature makes her welcome wherever she goes. Theresa Lynch Westfield Theresa A fig for a care, Theresa says. We envy her her happy-go-lucky, care-free manner. She chases your blues away with a smile, for she ' s a cheerful little person, bound to be welcome wherever she goes. Anna Lynch Pittsfield Nan Anna is our model student. Dur- ing her stay here she has made some worth while speeches in assembly. She actually reads reference books for pleas- ure! However she is never too busy to help someone else. She is too pretty, people say, to remain long Miss Anna Lynch. Margaret Landers Belchertown Peg Sober, steadfast, and demure. How well Milton ' s lines describe Margaret ! Appearances do not tell all, for she is also fun-loving, witty, patient, and conscientious. Our sincere wishes for her success are with her. Miriam Kirby Milford Miriam Miriam, quiet and dignified, is a friend worth having. Her charming personality, tactfulness, and pleasant disposition have won for her many friends who extend to her their sincere wishes for success and happiness. Estelle Lawless Springfield Estelle Where smiling is concerned, there are few who can come up to Estelle. Her cheery disposition seems to bright- en the darkest day and makes us all glad to be numbered among her friends. No matter what comes or goes, Estelle is always the same — calm, happy, and self-reliant. Margaret Law Springfield Margaret Speech is silver; but silence is gold- en, characterizes Margaret. She al- ways knows just what to say and when to say it. Her manner is somewhat shy, but one recognizes in her someone always ready to help. Alice Long Westfield ' Allie In stature small, But good as all that is. Allie sallies forth weekly when the Glee Club renders delightful bits of classical music. Singing, however, is not her only accomplishment; her danc- ing ability was demonstrated when she assisted in the operetta, The Lost Necklace. Marjorie Libby Caribou, Maine Marge Though she was not chosen Class Baby, she is the youngest member of our class. Marge seems quiet but she is ready for any fun, provided it does not interfere with her work. She is interested in her studies, and has maintained a high standing in work and in play. Mary Miller Milford u Mae ' ' The Military Girl in the Bache- lor ' s Reverie will always serve to re- call to our minds Mae, who has won a place in the hearts of many, not only because of her pleasant, sunny disposi- tion, but also because of her worthiness and good fellowship. Marion G. Meeker Ludlow ' Peg ' Everybody ' s happy! Why? Peg ' s in the crowd and her laugh is conta- gious. Her happy disposition will be a great asset in teaching. We know she will succeed because she made an envi- able record in training. Occasionally Peg can be serious, especially when she is laden with the duties of proctor- ing. Katherine Meehan Pittsfield Kay The first impression one gets of Kath- erine is that she is very quiet. However on becoming better acquainted, you dis- cover that behind that quiet look is a very live spirit. Kay wishes that Triennials would come weekly so she could visit Westfield often. Mary Meagher Pittsfield Mayor ' When a giggle is heard, everyone knows Mary is near. When a certain whistle is heard, Mary knows he is near. Her leisure moments are spent reading Rules and Regulations of Dickinson Hall. We feel certain that Mary will be successful in her chosen profession. Loretta McDonald Springfield Loretta A true, sincere, and steadfast friend! Her quiet, sympathetic manner gains the confidence of all she meets. She has been a loyal supporter of the Glee Club both years. When our school days are over, Loretta will be one whom we shall never forget. Mary McNally Pittsfield Micky Although Pittsfield is forty-seven miles from Westfield, Micky returns each week-end. The reason for this has always puzzled everyone. The class still wonders why Franklin was not the correct name of the car Micky was supposed to represent at the Val- entine Party. Louise Morgan Westfield Louise The word industrious describes Louise. Her actions declare her de- pendable, and the advice she gives is always of the best. How true when speaking of her to say, Great hearts alone understand how much glory there is in being good. . Alice Newell ' Al West Springfield Conscientiousness is Alice ' s middle name. Nevertheless she finds time for a lark now and then. Her hobby is drawing and she has always delighted Miss Snow by doing more than the as- signment. The class of ' 24 is proud of its artist and wishes her the best of luck. Margaret Nolan Northampton Peg Blushing bashfulness, winning sin- cerity, and ready sympathy character- ize Margaret. As a proctor she was ef- ficient and capable. Margaret is wel- come wherever she goes, for she easily adapts herself to any group. Why? She ' s a capital sport. Margaret O ' Brien Pittsfield Marg Marg may be small but oh my, the Westfield air certainly does agree with her! It has helped her to gain five feet nine inches. In her junior year, as a member of the Glee Club, she helped to make the Lost Necklace a success. Kathleen O ' Hagerty Springfield Kath Kathleen is a member of the trolley brigade. Commuting seems to agree with her however, for we should travel far to find a better-natured girl. Al- though usually in a hurry, she finds time to stop long enough at W. N. S. to make many warm friends. Chicopee A little girl, It ' s better to Margaret O ' Keefe Keefie Yes, that ' s who it is. but then Keefiie says, be small and shine than to be big and cast a shadow. She ' s always shining be it in fun, arithmetic, psychology, or merely argument. As class secretary she ' s prompt and efficient. ■ .:■ . p ' Tj Wr P S ' - - Catherine O ' Leary Springfield Catherine In our most vivid recollection of Catherine we shall see her busy and in- tent on her work. Her industry, con- scientiousness, and integrity as well as her good sportsmanship, generosity, and friendliness point toward a brilliant and successful career. Helen O ' Leary Holyoke Helen A gentler eye, a voice more kind, We may not look on earth to find. By class vote, the most conscientious girl, yet the funniest Crooked Man in Mother Goose, sergeant of 2D, a sincere, faithful worker, a jolly com- panion, a true friend — that ' s Helen O ' Leary. Margaret O ' Leary Northampton Margaret The joys of meeting pay the pangs of absence, says Margaret when she and Alice greet each other after each vacation. We admire Margaret for her unassuming manner, which so well em- phasizes her brilliant flashes of intellect. Mildred Owens Springfield Mil Mil is one of those girls who al- ways have something funny to tell. She has taken part in several dramatiza- tions given in assembly, her success culminating in the role of the bachelor in The Bachelor ' s Reverie given at the Valentine Party. Hazel Palmer Springfield Hazel One of the most attractive girls in the class is Hazel. A gay, good-na- tured companion, a graceful dancer and a zealous student, she is liked by all. With her pleasing personality and industrious habits she is on the road to success. Pearl Palmer Chester Pearl Pearl is considered one of our most promising girls. In addition to her reg- ular training she has enjoyed substitut- ing in the city schools. We know her success as a teacher will be as great as her success at Normal School. i ' fl fti V pr |B ■ 1 nr PI 1 ' ■ . ' £wM Adella Peterson Springfield AdeHe When we saw Adella as Margaret in The Lost Necklace, we could hardly believe she was the same quiet, demure conscientious girl we knew in class. This proves her cleverness. Character- istic of Adella too, are her neatness, ability to lead, impulsiveness, and keen sense of humor. Audrey Pilon Pittsfield And Aud is indeed true blue! Those of us who know her best cannot fail to recognize in her a fine friend. She may seem quiet, but we assure you that she. as well as the other members of the class, has her share of vivacity. Marie Parks Milford Marie The saying, To see her is to love her, best describes this member of our class. Marie, always ready for fun, ever gen- erous and faithful, a desirable friend, has gained an enviable place in the heart of everyone. Doris Painter Westfield ' Dot Dot, with her charming manner and spontaneous smile, has won her way into all our hearts. When you are looking for someone who is sure to be jolly and agreeable on all occasions you are certain to go to Dot. Ruth Reinhardt Hinsdale Ruth Ruth, who was voted one of the pret- . tiest girls in the class, must find that mountain air agrees with blondes. Bet- ter open up a beauty parlor as a side- line, Ruth, and let us all in on the se- cret. Did anyone ever see her with a grouch on? Perhaps that explains it. M. Etheldreda Reynolds Holyoke Ethel Through our two short years Ethel has been a loyal classmate. She is often serious but she can bubble over with fun at the opportune time. From see- ing her with the second grade kiddies, we feel sure she will be a success in her chosen profession. Helen Rohan Pittsfield Ronie Popular? After a person has held as many offices as Ronie, one cannot ar- gue. She was not only one president but two. She has served on prom, com- mittees, and play committees; parties would not be complete without her. Ronie, what would our class be like without you? Anna Scanlon Holyoke Ann Ann is now the efficient treasurer of the class. She is, however, afflicted with dues. She always greets you with, Have you paid your dues? Anna has taken part in several dramatiza- tions of the Literary Club. Look around and try to find a sunnier dispositioned girl. Nancy C. Simmons ' Fall River Nance Here is our Nancy, the most original girl in the class. One could not ask for a better friend. She has shown splendid ability as chairman of Prom. Committees and as a member of Student Council at Dickinson Hall. Some day we shall hear that Nancy has become a great artist. Elsie Smith Holyoke El Do you know Elsie, the girl with those big brown eyes and a boyish bob? She is a clever basketball player and a lover of real fun. Where there is life, there is also Elsie. She is the truest type of friend, pleasant, thoughtful, and sin- cere. Dorothy Shapleigh Greenfield Letitia The most talkative girl ! How often we have been entertained by one of her speeches from the assembly platform! Besides being a ready conversationalist Dorothy is also a careful musician, a great reader, a respected and admired student, and a sympathetic friend. Christine Shea Westfield Chris Jolly? Yes. Wise? Of course. You have missed something if you don ' t know her. She is always happy, always knows her lessons, and is a friend to those in need. She can argue with the best of them — but she is so broad- minded that this is not an unpleasant characteristic. , .. % ' ' ■■:; ' B J Margaret Schmitter Northampton Peggy A gentle straightforwardness of action, a kind sincerity of speech. These are Margaret ' s most striking characteristics. Twice appointed ser- geant of her class, conscientious and successful in her work, generous and faithful to her friends, she has attained a worthy standing in our class. Virginia Scott Westfield Virginia Virginia the fair, Virginia the lov- able. What would become of our class without Virginia? She is always will- ing to help someone else and cheerfully undertakes whatever is assigned to her, from acting as vice-president of our Literary Club to speaking before the school in an assembly exercise. K w .V ■ [■ ' ' ' ■ Ml 1 i ■p f H ■ B s 5j HJf ! Iff J i ' ' ' B Mary Sullivan Bondsville Mary Catherine We are proud of our prima donna . She has won our hearts with her won- derful singing 1 and her pleasant ways. As a member of the Glee Club, she always has a leading part in the operet- tas. She has also entertained us at parties and in assembly. Elizabeth Swann Springfield Elizabeth Energetic, pleasant, pacifier of the infants in Grade One! All this and more is Elizabeth. After high school, stenography claimed her for a time, but a more glorious future devoted to in- structing the young lured her away. Chief worry — struggling for teacher ' s certificate in penmanship. Rita Scully Milford Rita To a stranger, Rita appears to be very modest, demure, and not at all athletic, but we who have observed her on the tennis court can testify to her skill, animation, and good sportsman- ship. She has won many friends who appreciate her lovable qualities. Agnes Sears Westfield Ag Throughout these two years, Ag has been a helpful classmate. As King Henry she was a marked success, but as Gabriel in the playlet, Evangeline, she outdid all previous records. Ask Ag what ' s on at the movies; she ' ll tell you. Irene Staples Pittsfield ' •Rene Rene is the girl who always has a wonderful smile. She has the art of making others good humored and we join with Rene when she says, Smile and the world smiles with you. She is clever at work and ' 24 wishes her the best of luck. Margaret Sullivan West Warren Peg Peg is one of the best-natured girls in the class! No matter what happens she comes up smiling. She is the kind of a friend anyone is proud to have. An enjoyable companion, always ready for a good time — but not through neglecting school duties — that ' s Peg . Elizabeth Shea Chicopee Falls Betty Take a look at Betty and you ' ll agree with us when we say she is one of our cutest girls. When Bet en- ters the room there ' s a new atmosphere and her hearty laugh, her wit, and hu- mor are enjoyed by all. Farewell, Bet, ' 24 will long remember you. Mary Shea Holyoke Pinky What would our class be without Pink ? Besides being attractive with her unusual hair and eyes, she is one of our most popular and best all around girls. She is loved by all her many friends, and truly, Pink is a friend to all. Florence Talmadge Feeding Hills Florence Florence, so rumor tells us, holds a warm place in Mrs. Clark ' s heart be- cause of her love for sewing. Girls knowing her slightly think her rather quiet. Her friends, however, declare that she is peppy, and a very jolly com- panion. Glee Club both years. Lillian Terrien Chicopee Falls Lil No need of any introduction to Lil- lian Terrien. A fairer, squarer girl couldn ' t be found. Enough cannot be said about Lil , so let ' s not try. We must not forget to add that with Lil around, there is no danger that any room will be dull. Mary Thomas Bondsville Mary Allow us to introduce the Cutest in our class! Is she popular? We ' ll say she is! We feel that with the splendid start she has made here, Mary will be successful in the teaching profession She intends to teach fifty years — that remains to be seen. i $ |H Ruth Tilden Feeding Hills Ruth With thoughts of Ruth come memories of beautifully written boards and papers, the envy of many less gifted classmates. Ruth is rather retiring, but those who break through the quiet exterior find her a friend well worth having. Glee Club both years. Tarantelle at ex- hibition. Helen Waite Springfield Helen Helen is a friend worth having. Her happy disposition, patience, and perse- verance are certain to serve her well when she assumes the responsibilities of her first school. Those who are fortu- nate enough to know Helen well have always found her a willing helper in any task. Loretta Weber Easthampton Lorett Ambition — to rival Paderewski. The mandolin club depends upon Loretta to play the accompaniment, and wisely, too. A pianist is often in great demand and whenever or wherever needed, Loretta is always willing to lend a helping hand. Isabelle Weeks Springfield Weeksie Did you ever find a happier little girl than Weeksie ? She is a faithful sup- porter of every school activity and is especially fond of attending our basket- ball games. Weeksie studies earnestly and ' 24 wishes her good luck. Abbie White Springfield Abbie Dependability itself is Abbie! What she does she does conscientiously and efficiently. She delights in applying her- self to the task at hand, and the result speaks for itself. Her story How the Blackbird Got Red Wings marked her as a literary light among us. , Ethel White Amherst Ethel Some might call Ethel quiet and se- date upon first acquaintance, but what jolly good fun she is when one knows her better! She finds her greatest en- joyment, in dancing, but never allows her good time to interfere with her studies.
