NIKE 1924 COWLES, HOPE M: 42 Southbourne Road Jamaica Plain Science Club 2, 3, 4 Hope’s interest in science has kept her in Lab ever since she has been at Wheaton, and hence we know her but slightly. Her dislike for the gym and the tank has cropped out beyond her reserve, and our sympathy is entirely hers. Every week-end Hope’s car makes a mysterious appearance and dis- appearance. Upon her return ’we learn that she has been to the Cape. Sewing is a favorite pastime with Hope when she is not caring for white rats, or cleaning her room. We are confident that her motto has to do with cleanliness and Godliness. Next year is not yet definitely outlined in Hope’s mind, but whatever it may be, we are sure that it will be scientific. CUSHING, FRANCES Gray Maine Class Cheer Leader 4 Director of Glee Club 3, 4 Keeper of College Government Records 4 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet 3 Maqua Song Leader 4 Maqua Delegate 2 Musical Club—Vice-President 2—Presi- dent 3 Ghoir |Z oa. Deutscher Verein Psyche Fran’s interests at Wheaton have been centered around the tank and the practice rooms in the gym. Next year, she will super- vise music in some school, wherever her room- mate can get a job. Her favorite pastime is chewing gum, in the meantime, compiling 64 songs for Senior serenades. This year, Fran has gained and lost 40 pounds. She has not yet submitted her recipe to the press, but we think that it will be in the interest of 2-6-0. When it comes to musical needs next year, we will miss Fran greatly; we wonder if she will ever miss us.

1924 NIKE 29 COLLEY, ELIZABETH 6 Pleasant Street Classical Club Deutscher Verein Secretary Agora Psyche Rockport, Mass. Sitting in a little white chair, before a little white desk, we found her writing a poem about the pitter-patter of the raindrops. We felt awed and shy in the presence of the Muse, but at length we summoned courage to ask what were her chief delights in life. Would she say rose petals, or furry gray kittens, or thin purple clouds? Casually she looked up, and then she beamed. “Oh, I like speed boats best, and next to that racing cars, I guess!’’ Would you have believed it of Beth? Probably she will teach English and History next year. COSTELLO EOUISE 45 Campus Avenue Lewiston, Maine Cercle Francais Wo WY (Ca AL, Caloningic BB Silver Bay Delegate 3 Baseball 2, 3 Assistant Editor Record 4 We found our literary Louise reclining on her couch, after the manner of the old Romans. Of course, we expected to find her engrossed in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, or Dante’s Inferno, or something. Instead, we were shocked to discover the disgusting label “Seven Day Book!’’ Louise casually stuck her elbow over the title. Anyway, we knew it must be awfully interesting, for she pro- ceeded to interview us as rapidly as possible. It seemed to be a case of room versus com- pany. Louise is planning to teach English in a high school. She declares that she will go anywhere. Business, it seems, has been rather dull. “I’ve applied to about a million places,’ Louise told us with a sigh. (We venture to say, Louise, that if you will try a personal interview you won’t have any trouble at all!)

1924 NIKE 31 DE REVERE, MARY L. 356 St. Paul’s Avenue Staten Island, N. Y. Business Manager News 2, 3 Assistant News Editor 4 Cercle Francais Deutscher Verein Agora Nikky, with all of her eccentricities, has been a favorite campus figure for all four years. Her hobbies are mostly in the direc- tion of heroes and kittens, favorite of which is Willy. Unfortunately, Nikky resents any encroachment upon her pet interests, but has bravely scorned all criticisms. Witness, her nickname. We envy Nikky many things, far from least of these is her ‘‘drag’’ with Dr. West. She ‘has had some difficulty in growing her hair so that it might make her seem grown-up in her cap and gown. Nikky left us for one semester, to go to college in the big city and see the opera. We welcomed her back, unchanged by her ex- periences, and anxious to graduate with the remainder of the clan. DIGNEY, KATHERINE 19 Whitman Street Dorchester Center Debating Club—President 4—Vice-Presi- dent 3 House Chairman 4 Record Staff 4 Art Club Cercle Frang¢ais Diggy was long the smallest member of the class of 24, but she has recently added several inches to her stature, giving her only second place. Next year, she will be married, she hopes, in the college chapel. She claims that college has given her only two things: a knowl- edge of Italian, and the ability to bluff. She is, in other words, a self-made woman. Dig- gy’s interests in addition to matrimony are journalism and reading. Her residence down at Carpenter has set her apart from us more than we like, but we hope that next year she will come often and let us see more of her, and perhaps, a bit of her husband.
