NIK E—e—1 926 IRENE CANFIELD PITTSFIELD Pittsfield High School Director of Bureau of Vocational Opportunities 4; Student Council 4,3; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet 4,3;1. C. S.A. Cabinet 3; Inbrary Chairman 3; Romance Languages Club; German Club. Irene would have loved to glue the pages of the book together just at the place where “‘ Trembling, the hero- ine shrank back — !” simply to keep you in suspense a while longer. Mean? — well, is that any worse than some of the other tricks she played? There’s many a clever thought under that black bob, — in fact, too many for the comfort of her friends! ELEANOR CLINE DEDHAM Dedham High School Class Soccer 4; Psyche; Art Club; Glee Club; French Club; Agora; Choir. Run rapidly over the pages and you will take away an impression something like this: Peg — embroidery; Peg — soccer; Peg — music; Peg — bridge; Peg—design; Peg — Honor Roll; Peg — here and there and always busy. It says somewhere that once they called her “Tda Cline,” but it was more usual to say just “ Peg.” HILDA COOK New Berprorp New Bedford High School Y.W.C. A. Cabinet 1; Riding Team 4; Treasurer of German Club 2; Art Club; Orchestra. Cooks in fairy tales have sandy hair screwed up into a hard little knot at the top of their heads, and firmly secured with a single pin; cooks in southern stories are comfortable black mammies, and French cooks have waxed mustaches. But our Hilda Cook was a little girl heroine with a happy giggle, bobbed hair, “‘Steeley”’ blue eyes, and a diamond. Page Twenty-six

Nil K EF —eo—1 9 26 MIRIAM BROOKS GARDNER Gardner High School Parrot Editor 4; Assistant Editor of Literary Swpple- ment 4; Joke Editor of Ntk® 3; Assistant Editor of Parrot 3; Choir; Musical Club, Treasurer; German Club. Mim was the Alice-in-Wonderland of our story, for she still believed in the fairies, goblins, elves and pixies. Her imitations of our Stanton guardian angel were the chief source of amusement for third floor Stanton, as her “Parrot” was for the whole college. DOROTHY BRUCE Nyack-on-Hupson, N. Y. Burnham School House Chairman 4; Stage Manager 4; Head of Swim- ming 4, 3; Class Swimming Team 4, 3, 2; Examiner, Red Cross Life Saving; Classical Club; Science Club. Dotty haunted the gym as a ghost haunts a deserted house, and like a ghost, she appeared in the most un- expected places, and in the most ridiculous positions. Sometimes one caught a glimpse of her lying prone on the grid, as she struggled with a wilful piece of scenery; sometimes one saw, but did not recognize her, so camou- flaged from knees to ears was she with daubs of paint. No wonder she spent so many hours in the pool! KATHERINE ADRIAN CAHILL Unica, N.Y. Utica Free Academy News Reporter 4; Psyche; Agora; Art Club; Orchestra. Under the long and appalling title,“‘She Won the In- formation Prize in Her Junior Year,” appeared two pictures of Tot Cahill. In both she wore the short, black jacket and stiff, round collar that one associated with Tot. In the first her forehead was wrinkled up for the discussion of some knotty problem; in the other her rah-rah cap was perched on the back of her head, and her lips puckered into a school-boy whistle.

DORRIS CRAGIN FRAMINGHAM Mount Ida Editor of the Literary Supplement 4; Senior Adviser; Assistant in German Department 4; Editor of Nik 3; Associate Editor of Record 3, 2; Psyche, Secretary 3, President 4; German Club, Secretary 2, Vice-President 3; Art Club. “Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come words of wisdom.” This was convincingly proven by Dorris, whose childish dimples and innocent blue eyes seemed not at all in keeping with her office of Psyche president, or, more amazing, of an instructor in the German department! She was also one of the eight social butterflies who fluttered about third floor Stanton; —a threefold personality compounded of In- nocence, Intellect and social Inclinations. ROSE CHARLOTTE CROSBY Bancor, Me. Bangor High School Assistant House Chairman, 3; Psyche; Art Club; Spanish Club. Chuck had a queer sense of humor that broke out at unexpected moments. A mirthless, sardonic laugh, just to express her attitude on the situation, — a good old hearty laugh that once started couldn’t be checked, and went on and on till everyone else laughed in sympathy, —a baby chuckle to match her baby talk and the book of baby words which she liked so much to read. ELIZABETH CUSHING SEEKONK East Providence High School Art Club; German Club; Romance Languages Club. A book in which Betty Cushing features is, to a great extent, a treatise on art. With three years of lecture courses, she stored up a vast amount of theoretical art. Add to this courses in modelling, charcoal drawing, design, and studio painting, — and behold! — one of Wheaton’s most artistic products. Page Twenty-seven
