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.

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.

1924 NIKE 27 BRAMAN, JOSEPHINE 418 Second Street Elyria, Ohio Cercle Francais Classical Club The electric current was quite low when we called on Jo (which sometimes happens), but we caught a mental picture of dark, curly hair, fluffy eiderdown, and lots of cloudy-blue chiffon; all quite intriguing to our weary eye. Jo must have heard us interviewing Jean, for she piped right up with the same line: “Just going to get married—I guess.” We assured Jo that this was old stuff, and warned her not to try anything funny on us, but Jo really was quite serious about it. At the same time, our sub-conscious mind wired to us that we had heard some mention of one Heman Ely before! So we reckon it is o.k. Jo expects to live in the suburbs of Phila- delphia; Bryn Mawr, or Overbrook; “if we can find any place cheap enough.” Jo sud- denly became enthusiastic: “Say,’’ she expostulated, “want to hear something funny? I’m going to do the cook- ing!”’ This was all very interesting, as was the fact, which we learned to our sorrow, that Jo was a fresh-air fiend. Feeling our edi- torial neck stiffening momentarily, we made haste to depart. We bet Jo will make a cute bride! BREED, ELEANOR 29 Beacon Hill Avenue Lynn Varsity Hockey 4 Class Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Basketball 1, 2, 4 Delegate to Hockey Camp 4 Deutscher Verein Agora Psyche Having interviewed Louise, we were about to look under the furniture for Eleanor, for we knew she couldn’t be very far away. ““Crackers’’ soon came bustling in, with her arms full of pink tea napkins, looking very gay and festive. “Crackers” is the first Senior we have dis- covered who is going to teach—(please give us time)—kindergarten. She has enrolled for the year course in the art at Columbia. After completing the course, she wants to teach near Boston. We believe Costello made the same remark, about being near Boston, we mean. It’s queer the way some people’s minds run in the same channels! Anyway, we will soon be in our second childhood at the rate we are going, so we will come on to “Crackers’’ school, for we think that she will make a mighty fine Kin- dergartner!
