Elizabeth Langille Editor-in-chief Helen Fish Business Manager Emerson College Boston, Massachusetts IIF'IDEEWIDMID N the threshold of our Golden Jubilee the O students and faculty look back across the years of unselfish devotion and self sacri- fice rendered by our beloved founder Doctor Charles Wesley Emerson and his successors. Before us is the world, the open door of op- portunity; behind us, our friends, our classes and our pleasures, soon to be but memories. In after years when we have faced the battles of life, fortified with our knowledge based on fifty years of progress, may this Golden Jubilee Book help to refresh in our minds those glorious student days at Emerson College of Oratory. UDEllDICAllfl'IDM these three whose lives T have been welded in strong endeavor m the progress of our college we dedi- cate this hook, thus expressing our appreciation for their un- selfish devotion. faculty President Henry Lawrence Southwick.

Harris TWO OF EMERSON’S NEW FACULTY MEMBERS M iss Hope James and Mr. Russell White Harris are our newest faculty members.

Mr. Harris is serving as registrar of the college in the vacancy left by Miss Lois Teal Owen. 14 18 8 0 EMERSONIAN 19 3 0 MILDRED ABRAMS A AX Pennsylvania When we think of “Mill}” we see strength of character and great executive ability. She has been president of A A X, member of Forensic Union, Student Council and Menorah Society. “Mill} ’ has a smile for everyone whom she meets. Her many staunch friends know where to go when they need a helping hand, and a kind understanding of their troubles. Good luck will surely accompany this sunny personality! SARAH BAKER Rhode Island Sarah, with her charming ways and dignified presence, has captured the hearts of even the most discriminating Emersonians. All those who heard her in Recitals throughout her four years and who r watched her work as “Y alentine” in the Senior Revival Play, will recognize her splendid talent. Sarah has been Secretary of her class for two years and Treasurer and Chairman of the Menorah Ex- ecutive Committee. We wish her the best. She is worthy of it! ESTHER BECKLEY <D M r Connecticut “Beck” began her career at E. C. O. as the charm- ing lead in the Freshman Stunt. She added to her popularity in Soph. Pantomime, Soph. Recitals, and as “Poor Little Cinderella” in Children’s Theatre. As secretary of the Sophomore class she ably jotted down the class activities. “Beck” fooled us this time, ho'wever, and is graduating one year ahead of her class. Good work, Esther! ALFRADA BOCK Kansas Alfrada came from the wide open spaces of the West, and with her she brought her geniality and friendliness. Many do not know that Alfrada has a Bachelor of Science degree, for she is quiet about her achievements. She will be remembered in the Senior Revival Play in her part as “The Host.” We wash she had come here earlier, and are loath to lose her so soon. 15 18 8 0 EMERSONIAN 19 3 0 ADA J. BRUCE M assachusetts A girl of talents that Emerson knows not of. Did any one know that she was acquainted with many little animals and amused herself and others by writing stories about them? We wish her a wonderful tour of Europe this summer and later a more wonderful, happy and successful voyage through the Carribean and through life, with “the one.” Ada has been in the Press Club, Sophomore Pan- tomime, and the Senior Pageant. KAT R 1 N E BUCHER K T X New York With a twittering twinkle in her voice, “Peggy” Bucher can discuss profoundly psychological re- search and is an artist in practical psychology on a ; “date.” She is effervescent with an optimism which makes life worth living for all who meet her. Her activities at Emerson include, Fresh. Stunt, Soph. Stunt, Junior Week, Forensic Union, Junior and Senior Recitals; and who could forget “Peggy” as “Faunce” with her dog, in the Revival Play? DONALD CAR lA Massachusetts "Don”—the secret of the male minority in Em- erson! Intellect incarnate, he walks about our halls silent and aloof, until he encounters a fair maiden and escorts her to the nearest corner to discuss the latest theories of philosophy. His vocabulary is said to rival that of Samuel Johnson! “Don” came to Emerson from Boston College, but his greatest ambition is to become a prize fighter! LUCIE D. CLARK Maine Lucie is a sweet retiring maiden whom the spot light found many times though she did not seek its rays. She has been an active member of the New- man Club and also featured in Children’s 1 heatre productions, the May Festival, the Soph. Pantomime and Junior Song Day. We aren’t sure, but we have a sneaking suspicion that Lucie may take up the culinary artistry when she leaves us. We wish her luck, and we hope she doesn’t burn the biscuits! 16 ! 18 8 0 EMERSONIAN 19 3 0 fill ESTHER COOK M assachusetts "Pete" belongs to the type of student well-liked by both faculty and students, for her versatility as a Merry-maker and a good—hard worker as well. It is a happy culmination, "Pete and Heck” is another; and it almost seems as if these two should even here appear together. Esther has participated in the following activities since entering Emerson, with her usual fervor and spirit,—Freshman Stunt, Junior Song Day and Senior Recitals. GWE N DO LI N E CRUMP Connecticut “Crumpy” has participated conspicuously in the Forensic Union, Student Council, Y. W. C. A., and the President’s Club, to say nothing of wrestling with the problems of House President for three years. Gwen is a busy person but she is always ready to squeeze in a little bit more. Do you re- member that famous Junior Senior Debate? She was their alternate! Gwen is a person without which few occasions are complete! MARIAN CRUTCHER Z <f> H \1 issouri Marian has been called cynical, but really she's not. Those who saw her play "Proteus’’ in the Senior Revival Play and who have heard her recitals know her to be a girl with splendid ability. If she goes to Honolulu we wish her success, and we know that who ever meets Marian will enjoy her! MARIE DEYIR Massachusetts Who does not remember the jolly sailor last year in the May Festival?—Marie Devir! Neither could we forget the abused little boy in “The King of the Golden River,” a Children’s Theatre produc- tion. Marie has done her share executively, also, having done active service in the Press Club and the New- man Club. When one sees her, her smile comes first; we hope that many may continue to be glad- dened by it 17 !. 18 8 0 E M E R S 0 N I A N 1 9 3 0 ELSIE DIAMOND Massachusetts One could not lessen her dignity by giving her a flippant appellation. She is indeed a “sober, stead- fast and demure” little person with a profound sense of duty. If one really knows her, there is the joy of her effervescent humor. We remember her especially in Freshman Stunt and Sophomore Pan- tomime. She is a very tiny Diamond of great intrinsic value. ELISABETH EAIRCH1LD KI'X New York Who is that tall, brown-eyed girl with the happy- go-lucky smile? Tis “Libby" Fairchild. “Libby” took part in Fresh. Stunt, a howling success, due to her talent, of course! Soph, year “Lib” displayed her “Kenny” voice with much fervor in Children’s Fheatre. She also assisted Clyde Dow in carry ing around the class treasury, "it was so heavy! Her good work continued throughout her College days, and she was a friend worth having. IDA MAE FURS 1 1 MAN New Jersey Hats off to one who knows what she wants to do—and does it! Ida Mae has been in Fresh, Stunt, Soph. Stunt, and Soph. Recitals. In “the year’ of College life she was on Prom. Committee and in Song Day . She has been up in Junior-Senior Debate twice and is president of Forensic Union and also the Menorah Society Her motto is “Variety lends zest to life” and she surely gets it! MARJORIE GOULD M assachusetts M arjorie is the girl with the large, thoughtful, brown eves, —and though she is usually' very' quiet and reserved, we know, that in her own way, she accomplishes a great deal. For example,—do you remember her in the Sophomore Pantomime and the events of Junior Week? To say nothing of her academic abilities as a Scholarship student “We wish you all that life may hold,” Marjorie! 18 18 8 0 EMERSONIAN 19 3 0 E.
