1924 NIKE 25 BARKER, MARION 31 Duncklee Street, Newton Highlands, Mass. Cercle Francais Spanish Club Yow. C. A. Cabinet 1, 2; 3, 4 When we asked Marion to tell us what her hobbies and likes and ambitions were she got all pink with embarrassment, and refused to say a word. Which only goes to prove what we had already guessed: namely, that she is very shy, and much more ready to listen to others than to talk about herself— “an excellent thing in woman.’’ We did find out, however, that she wants to teach History next year, and her preference is for a school in Massachusetts, ‘‘so that she can come back often to visit Wheaton.’’ Don’t you think that shows that she also has good taste? BEERS, DOROTHY 67 Brownell Avenue Hartford, Conn. Cercle Frangais Spanish Club Psyche Dot is following the path of least resistance, so she affirms, for she is going to teach next fall. She excused herself by saying: ‘In four years one gets into an awful rut,”’ but to our mind, Dot appeared very wide-awake, and we can’t help thinking that she will make a mighty fine teacher. Being a citizen of the Nutmeg State, she declared that she will teach in Connecticut. Being a Nutmegger our- selves, we think this is a capital idea. Dot also wants to be near the water, but whether she hopes to find pirates, sailors, artists or octopuses near the briny deep, we failed to discover. We advised Dot to consult a fortune teller before deciding definitely on her future career, since she has so many aspirations. Among other things she mentioned Library Work, Interior Decoration and the possibility of an M.A. degree. We further advised Dot (we are always full of advice, it is cheap, you know!) to consult some of our own faculty members during their ‘leisure hours,’’ for Dot is laboring under the delusion that when one teaches, one has ‘‘so much spare time!’’ We believe that the little game of “Doubt It” would be appropriate at this point.

NIKE 1924 ABBE, SARAH South Windham Class Treasurer 2 Agora, Secretary and Treasurer 3 Cercle Frangais Gyo Ay Cabinets Yaw. GA eeapiner 4 Psyche Spanish Club, Vice-President 3 Sarah is one of the most energetic of our seniors. It makes us weary just to contem- plate all the things she is planning to do in the course of one short lifetime. First, she is going to Columbia next winter to study for her M.A. We hear that Martha Oliver, Eleanor Breed, and Betty Sincock are plan- ning to do likewise. We sincerely hope that they will look after our little Sarah, and not let some gallant Knight of Columbia break up the plans for her career! After acquiring her degree, Sarah hopes to teach history, and we venture to say that she will be mighty successful at it, judging by her record in history at Wheaton. But Sarah isn’t willing to stopthere. Ultimately, she expects to give Current Events lectures. All we can say is, we hope she will make a place in her schedule to visit Wheaton, for we know that the lectures, not to mention the lecturer, will make a big hit. Maybe Sarah will be lecturing in the new assembly hall when we hobble back for our hundredth reunion. You never can tell! Conn. BACON, ELIZABETH M. 504 Columbia Avenue, Millville, New Jersey Agora—Vice-President 3—President 4 Editor-in-Chief Handbook 4 Assistant Business Manager 3 Student Council 4 Psyche We found Betty busy playing solitaire. She excused herself by saying: ‘‘I simply have to have something to occupy my time!”’ Betty is going to take a P.G. course at Wellesley next winter, with an M.A. in view. She will major in Economics, and minor in Sociology. We expressed deep interest in these plans, and begged for details. But Betty put a stop to our editorial aspirations. “I’m going there because Daisy says I have to be around Boston next year.’ ‘‘Y-e-s, of course, I expect to teach Economics!” Of course! Our editorial cheek blushed for having been so “dumb.” “But I still would rather do nothing than anything else!’’ Betty reflected. We were moved to ask a leading question. “No! College has not changed my idea any!”’

26 NIKE 1924 BLAKE, FRANCES B. 54 Sydney Street Dorchester, Mass. Art Club Cercle Frangais Spanish Club We should love to tell what ‘‘Fran’’ said when asked the first time what she planned to do next year — but we can’t, because the very day after there was a worried little note in our mail box begging that what she had said should please not be taken seriously. And the next time we went to her she an- swered prosaically that probably she would go into newspaper work. They say ‘‘Fran”’ likes most everything including eats, Cather- ine Mansfield, cunning underclassmen, and bridge, especially the last. BRADLEY, ELIZABETH 60 Milton Avenue A. A. Council 4 Assistant Editor Record 3 Cercle Frangais, Secretary 3 Art Club Classical Club Psyche Agora Following many ‘‘practical applications,”’ in the way of delicious cups of tea, intriguing sandwiches, and such delicacies, we have come to associate Betty with all sorts of good things to eat. Hence, we were not very much surprised to learn that she is planning to help run a tea-room this summer: “‘to learn something.’’ However, we venture to say, from experience, Betty, that you have not much left to learn in that line! We hope your T-room won’t be too near our home, or we will be forced to spend all our time and shekels there. But please don’t go too far away, either, Betty! Next winter Betty expects to teach English and History somewhere in the Middle West, perhaps in Chicago. Hers is a rather unusual object in teaching, but we think it is a very good one. Betty wants to teach to get ex- perience in managing people and in living in a large community. Ultimately she hopes to get a B.S. either in English, or in Domestic Science. Betty is considering the very interesting prospect of working in Miss Farmer’s School of Cookery, which is run by her aunt. And we secretly suspect that Betty will some day be at the head of this school. We quite envy the very interesting and varied career that Betty has before her. Hyde Park, Mass.
