BEAULIEU, PAULINE Treasurer of Class 3 French Club Secretary and Treasurer 2 Vice President 3 President 4 Spanish Club Classical Club Polly opened the door and as we en- tered she moaned, “Oh I’m so tired, I didn’t get half enough sleep last night. I’m just getting ready for bed and haven’t cracked the book for that Italian exam and it’s going to be just wicked. I suppose you want to know what I’m going to do next year. Well, I wanted to be a companion to some nice old lady who would take me traveling all over the world with her, but such people don’t exist as far as I can see.. So I have decided to go abroad this summer with my father and sister, and study in Paris.” We think Polly will get along beautifully in France for we remembered how splendidly she could ‘parle Francais’ as President of French Club. BERRY, RUTH Business Manager “Nike” 3 Business Manager ‘Record’ 3 Exchange Editor ‘‘Record” 2 Class Treasurer 4 Chairman Senior Prom Class Basketball 2 Class Hockey 4, 3, 2, 1 Classical Club—secretary and treasurer 2 French Club Glee Club Psyche We found “Little Berry’ handing out kisses—the candy kind—and she received us with her mouth full. Perhaps that is why we didn’t make any more head- way as to her personal characteristics. Anyway we did find out that she is go- ing to teach sixth grade in a St. Peters- burg grammar school next year. She prefers children of that age to high- school pupils. Ruth hasn’t any particu- lar theories about teaching but she thinks it will be fun to teach, and she assures us that she hasn’t any matri- monial prospects and that she will prob- ably continue for some time.

ABBOT, ELEANOR Psyche 4, 3 Art Club 4, 3 Cercle Francais 4, 3, 2, 1 Spanish Club 2 We tried to interview Eleanor at the end of chapel one morning. After collid- ing with numerous gowned seniors in our attempt to reach her, we learned the enlightening piece of news that she has no plans for next year. She may go into business, possibly into an investment house, but that is not at all certain. One thing that is certain, however, is that she is going to live at home, and is not going to teach. When questioned as to what she plans to do this summer, she said smilingly, “Oh, just stay at home, I guess, and maybe go up to New Hampshire for a while. But I am going to rest and have a real vacation. I think any girl is en- titled to one after four years of college.” We agree with you, Eleanor, and wish you the best kind of a one. ARENOVSKI, KATHLEEN Musical Club Choir Art Club Spanish Club Silver Bay 3 Class Hockey 4, 3 Class Baseball 3 Class Basketball 4 (Sub) Varsity Hockey (Sub) 4 Swimming Team 3 Kack appears to be one of those elu- sive people who are never to be found. We did, however, corner her room-mate and learn that Kack is going to teach next year—preferably English and pref- erably near Boston. We know that Kack likes English for she has taken ever so many English courses, both theoretical and practical, here at Wheaton. As to likes and dislikes, she runs es- pecially to the former. She is interested in music and likes to sing. She likes athletics, particularly swimming and hockey, and she likes very much to read. In fact she is what one might call an all-around good sport (we gleaned this from her many friends). Kack’s one peculiarity is that she is left-handed. is Ar Page Nineteen

BRADSHAW, HELEN French Club Classical Club Short brown curls, lots of laughter, a Leopard skin coat—and there you have Brad. We would call her Helen, but we hesitate to since a day or two ago when we mentioned Helen Bradshaw to someone. The person addressed looked at us rather blankly for a moment. “Helen Bradshaw, Helen—Oh! you mean ‘Brad,’ why I never even thought of her as ‘Helen’ before.” So now we are try- ing to be very careful and use only her correct official appellation in speaking of her. Brad plans to attend summer school during this vacation and will probably start teaching in the fall. BRIGGS, RUTH “NEWS” Staff 4 French Club Art Club Ruth was busy typing jokes for the “Campus Parrot” when we called upon her, but she very graciously put the Corona down on her desk, and answered all our questions. She does not intend to teach next year. Aside from that, Ruth has no definite plans for a career. She is rather in- terested in the Publishing business, how- ever, so we will not be surprised if the future ‘‘Best Sellers” bear the name “Briggs Co., Publishers.” Ruth walked to Boston last winter, in a sleet storm, and enjoyed it, in spite of the fact that she was ‘“‘wet and straight as to hair.” Such persistence is bound to succeed, Ruth, and here’s to your publishing company, or whatever it may be!
