LORIMER CURTIS Lorimer is one of our studious young men. It is just natural for him to know his lesson-or at least to evade the subject, which amounts to the same thing.

WILLIAM DI-QMPSEY If nobody smiled and nobody cheered and nobody helped us along, And we stood all alone in the battle of life, the whole blamed world would seem wrong. Bill will always have things easy be- cause nothing ever disturbs him. His Pepsodent smile will always be his greatest asset in life. Bill is another of our athletes. He plays football, basketball, and baseball: but his hobby is playing cow-pasture pool at the Country Club. Besides do- ing all this he stands high in his studies. Another thing, our Bill is also a man with a past. In fact, he has passed about everything on the road. He has a passion for fast cars and good looking girls. Go get 'em, Bill!

' ROBERT DERICK Bob is the boy who made music popu- lar in B. F. A. For four years he has been the official pianist, and for the same length of time he has also been the unofficial pianist, in demand when- ever the bunch gets together and wants to dance. Besides being able to get rhythm out of both piano and clarinet, Bob is a good student. Furthermore, he is an actor of parts. Not only did he capably portray the stealthy sweet- heart in the Senior Play, but on several occasions he has also done a successful bit of acting in class when called upon to recite. We are sure Bob will al- ways get along with life. Course: classical.

That is George Bushey, the boy with the temper that never gets ruflled, the boy who is always at his best. He is no three-letter men in sport, but he is always behind the team-he is behind everything connected with B. F. A. Here's to him. May he al- ways wear that smile underneath his frown. Course: commercial. Honors: typing pin f4j g stage com- mittee of Senior Play JOHN CALLAGHAN And ages after my voice is stilled, Men shall know I lived by the things I build. Beefy is one of our all around ath- letes. He plays football, baseball, and basketball with every one of his one hundred and seventy-two pounds. And can he dance? Just ask the girls! Iohnny's greatest ambition is to spot successfully three passages in Macbeth without using the book. Nevertheless, Beef is a Hne student. Whenever there is some fun you will find Callaghan in the middle of it. Prob- ably this is because he is one of the best-natured boys in school. We shall always remember that spontaneous smile. The class of '32 wishes you the best of luck, Beefy ! Our friendship is yours forever. Course: general.

ELIZABETH CoRL1ss Betty is one of the brainy members of the school. Her remarkable ability is the envy of all her classmates. She is never content with anything but an A, and she usually gets it. She is am- bitious and conscientious. She is also musical, many a time she has charmed us with her violin and her lovely voice. Yet in spite of all her activities, she is never too busy to help a less clever classmate. We have great hopes for her and are sure she will be a great success. Course: general.

MARVIN COURTNEY If one sees a slim, dark-haired senior come smiling down the hall he knows that that person is Marvin Courtney. Marvin is an invaluable classmate. He helps us in everything-from a com- plex trig problem to editing THE MERCURY. If he solves the problems of life as he does his trigonometry he cannot help being a success. Course: general. Honors: Editor of THE MERCURY C453 stage committee of Senior Play C45- DOROTHY CUMMINGS 'We like Dorothy because she is dif- ferent. She has so many pleasing char- acteristics blended together that it is difficult to name any one in particular.

THE MERCURY 21 DOROTHY DEso Dot is an impetuous and likable young lady-not very large, but good things come in small packages. She can be extremely clever in her remarks, in fact, her wittiness is one of her out- standing qualities. Sometimes Dot seems to be dreaming of something far away, but then again she is right on the spot-full of pep and enthusiasm. She can act, too-we've several good ex- amples of her talent. Dot intends to enter the business world soon. May you meet with much success, Dot. Course: commercial.

Standing erect at his full height, one hand in his vest, the other placed behind his back, and here is our Napoleon, Shrimp Donnelly, a martyr to U. S. History and Latin IV. Kenneth is a perpetual surprise, even to those who know him best. At the least expected time he will mumble some expression that, if heard, cannot help starting laughter. Just watch him in the future. Some day he will take an unexpected start and prove himself a genius. Course: classical. ROBERT FITZGERALD To Whom are we indebted for the picture on the cover of THE MERCURY? To none other than Robert Fitzgerald, the best artist in the school. Robert can print and draw faster than most people can Write. Bob is an adept pupil. He can do trigonometry almost as fast as Miss Beeman can do alge- bra. With the ability that this young man possesses he will climb the ladder of success very rapidly. Course: general.

Bunker is a little man who does big things. He has what football players call grit. When he gets knocked out he comes back for more-that is the spirit that gets one by. Bunker is one of the happiest people in the school, friendly with everyone, a bit shy with the girls, but happy-go-lucky with the boys. His smile and cheery Hi there l have won him many a friend. We cer- tainly shall miss our Bunker Course: general. Honors: football C3-43.
