Page Twelve DOROTHY EVERELDA PARKIN “DOT” “Love of all nature was her gift.” A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Class President (2). Glee Club (2, 3, 4). Cast of “When the Whirlwind Blows” (3). President of English Club (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Poetry Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). Class Will. Down from High Street every morning strolls Dot to the old gray school house. She looks like an angel with her long golden hair and her smiling blue eyes, but, oh my, you don't know the half of it. When there is anything to be done, Dot from the kindness of her heart is always ready to help, and we can testify to the value of her opportune assistance in many a tight place. She has always been a great friend of the Sophomore Class and we wonder why. She is often original and she coined the now famous expression “white whales.” ELIZABETH MARIE PARTRIDGE “I seek one man, one man and one alone.” A. A. (2, 3). Secretary of English Club (4). Secretary of Magazine Club (4). Poetry Club (4). Novel and Short Story Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). Dance Committee (4). Class Poet. We hear that Bessie is all through seeking now, and we unite in wishing her the happiest of married lives. With her dark eyes and quiet smile, she seems to us a part of the poetry she delights in reading. However she is capable of making class meetings interesting with her firmness in upholding her views. Without her quiet assistance we would have found ourselves many times at a loss.

BARBARA FENN ISHAM “BOB’ “Smile and the world smiles with you.” Basketball (1, 4). Wide Awake Reporter (1). Class President (1). Glee Club (2, 3, 4). English Club President (4). Nature Study Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). Dance Committee (4). Graduation Essay (4). Always smiling, always happy, Bob has the reputation of being the best natured girl in the class. With her ready wit she is capable of making serious thoughts appear foolish, though never missing their full significance. Always ready and always willing to help, she has become the right hand man of the class. Bob has also made a record as a student and we feel sure that she will accomplish great things at Storrs. “There is an air of interest, thought and deep soliloquy.” Glee Club (3, 4). Poetry Club (4). Novel and Short Story Club (4). French Club (4). Class Song. Mary has distinguished herself as a scholar having completed her course in three years. She is very conscientious and persevering and these characteristics should serve her well throughout life. Mary is class shrimp but size isn’t any indication of brain power. DOROTHY ARIAIL MORGAN “DOT” “A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.” Glee Club (2, 3, 4). Glee Club Manager (4). Assistant Editor of Mirror (3, 4). Dance Committees (3, 4). Assistant Editor of the Wide Awake (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Cast of “The Worm” (4). French Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). School News Reporter to The Woodbury Reporter (4). Member of A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Poetry Club (4). Graduation Essay. Well, here is little Dottie. We wonder just what the “little” means when we gaze upward and see her towering stature. Dot is a friend to all and no activity is complete without her. WTith her witty remarks and happy smile, she is as good as a tonic and makes us forget our troubles. W’e wonder if there is anything that Dot can’t do. We are proud to have in our class so fine a musician and soloist, and we hope she won’t forget us when she becomes famous. 4 .g 4 4

AMY ELSIE POULIN “Her step was royal—queenlike.” Glee Club (3, 4). French Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). Class Will. Amy has added interest to many classes this year, through her own interest and the initiative she has shown in accomplishing more than was required in the curriculum. Did you see the marvelous project she did for Modern History? Yes Amy is industrious, but she has a ready sense of humor and we are indebted to her for many of the witty articles appearing in the Mirror. Although we do not know what Amy intends to do after graduating, we are sure she would make a very excellent storekeeper with very little practice. FRANCES LILLIAN SMITH “FRAN” “Looking wistfully with wide blue eyes as in a picture.” Class Secretary (1). Glee Club (3, 4). French Club (4). Dramatic Club (4). Dance Committee (4). Art Editor of the Wide Awake (4). Class Prophecy. “W'ho is the tall demure girl with the dreamy blue eyes?” Don't you know Frances? She has be:n an indispensable worker on committees for dances and class entertainments. Rumor hath it that a certain member of the Junior Class will be very lonesome next year, and you must believe us when we say that we feel the utmost compassion towards him. DOROTHY EDITH WEASA “DOT” “Thy smile has brightened many a young man's life.” Class Treasurer (2). Track (2, 3). Basketball (1, 2, 3). A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). French Club (4). Dramatic Club member (4). Nature Study Club (4). Dance Committee (4). Class Prophecy (4). There will be many long faces in June when Dot leaves our midst. Dot is in her element when on the dance floor and gatherings at school and about town would be far from complete without her. We have heard that she has developed quite a liking for the great north woods and a decided antipathy for the gypsy moth, both for some deep, mysterious, unknown reason. We feel sure that Dot will always make a decided effort to obtain what she desires in life.
