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!

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.

BRITTAIN, EDMERE Chairman Poster Committee 4 Vocational Bureau Treasurer 2 ITC. SA. Cabinetr3, 2) 1 Y. W. Cabinet 2 —Nike Staff 3 Red Cross Life Saving Emblem 3 Classical Club President 4 Glee Club— Cercle Francais —Art Club Babbie—she never has been, nor will she ever be Edmere to Wheaton girls— when asked about her plans said, “I don’t believe in telling them; everyone expects you to carry them out.” Nevertheless, we haven’t the slightest doubt that Bab- bie is just bursting over with original ideas. Anyone with as much enthusiasm and with as varied interests—they range from teacher’s Latin to scenery painting —is bound to find much to do. Someone whispered that Babbie is planning to set up housekeeping with George Sargent near Yale, where they will both study designing under Professor Baker. Bab- bie did not deny this rumor. She did say, however, that she is going abroad with her family this summer, and will travel in northern Europe, England and France. That some nook in Paris may claim her for a year or so is not beyond possibility. So we may think of Babbie in Paris, or of Babbie at Yale, but in either case busy and happy. ————— = x925) 25) Ss.

We can never forget her riding Tandem the year she won the in- dividual, and helped Wheaton get the cup. And, too, we have an indelible pic- ture of Peggy as a Valentine at the Junior-Freshman party when she had long yellow curls and a diminutive crepe paper dress. She was scarcely the same Peggy that was guardian angel of the vicissitudes of Holmes this year; an angel not herself inexperienced in the rampages of unmanageable Craginites. We’ll miss Peg to calm our fiery steeds and our own palpitating hearts when we hear a flivver coming down the road to- ward us. = [ee ean a) 5 aaa = lll (het Page Twenty-two
