1923 NIKE 29 ALDRICH, ELISE: CRANSTON “Poppy ” Spanish Club—President 4 Cercle Francais Musical Club Glee Club Choir Silver Bay Delegation 2 As she has always been the first on all class roll calls, so Elise was the first of her happy classmates to board her Majesty’s good ship “A.B.,’’ en route for the peaceful and ideal community to be set up in Wheatopia. Hence, in answer to the well-known question, ‘‘Miss Aldrich, Miss Aldrich! Where are you? Where are you?” we now state that senorita Poppy has retired to Wheatopia with the purpose of trans ating Shakespeare’s complete works into her adopted tongue. ‘“‘Eloise’’ has been much saddened by the necessity of resigning from the Wheatopia All Saints Choir be- cause of her habit of lightning translation, thus rendering the hymns unintelligible to the congregation. She and Lena have re- solved to establish one for themselves. The requirements for membership will be— 1. Linguistic ability. 2. Nice curly hair. 3. Ability to produce at least six good-look- ing Harvard men for dancing purposes. AUSTIN, MAUDE NEWELL Subscription Manager Record 4 Psyche Glee Club Maudie had a terrible time letting her hair grow for the occasion, she did so want to cut it that every pair of shears actually fascinated her. However, here she is on the Island of Wheatopia, competently managing the largest book store. She is always acquainted with every book wanted, and from her Compara- tive Lit. course gained such knowledge that she can recite the table of contents of all books over six hundred pages in length. “Of course,’ says Maude, “I do enjoy sell- ing books, but these cards are my delight.” Then she displays a unique line of greeting cards for roommates and roommates’ friends, and a special brand known as the ‘Willie Kards.” No matter what her customers want, Maude is always tactful and helpful, and her patience equals that of Job. If you don’t believe the possibility of this time- honored metaphor, ask any Wheatonians who worked under Maude’s gentle regime in the Household Ec. Lab. of yore.
