Down with the faculty! Down with the school I VVho uttered those words? Why none other than our own little communist Robert Spaulding. Robert opposes many things about school just for the sake of argument or perhaps it is practice for debates. Bobby carries his arguments to the sport page of the Mercury where they are very effective. He is also a successful dramatist as is evident by his frequent participation in dramatic plays. But whatever your course in life may be, Bobby, we wish you the very best of luck. ,IANICI5 SPEAR General Honors: Class Secretary C45 3 Prize Speak- ing, Ist prize C35 3 Glee Club C45 3 All State Glee Club C453 Grchestra C453 Grinds Committee C453 Gold Key C45QJLlIll0I'JZ1TT1l'501'CC C2, 3, 453 Class Song Cmusic5 Want fun, music, laughter, song?

RAYMOND SWEENEY Commercial Honors: Junior Jamboree 13jg Bookkeep- ing Certificates 12, fgjg Penmanship 11jg Base- ball 13, 42. This young man is known for his prowess in baseball. For the past two years Ray has played quite a good deal and has helped contribute considerably to B. F. A.'s success in its baseball campaigns. Ray, however, doesn't confine all his energies to baseball as one can easily see. He is an excellent penman, is exceedingly good in bookkeeping, and to top it off is a fine actor. With these attributes Ray should go far. VIQRONICA SVVIEENEY Scientific A small girl with a cheery smile and a sunny disposition is Veronica. She is a very talkative l girl as you might know, if you saw her in study classes or elsewhere. She is very sincere in her work in spite of her great love of talking. Her sparkling wit has made dark days seem brighter. Her eyes always seem to be brimming over with laughter. Besides being bright and gay she is also serious about some things-her school work, for instance. Her work is always finished before she comes to class. Everyone wonders how Veronica does it, since she talks dur- ing practically all her study periods-but the fact is, her Work is always completed. Although she is a small girl, she is certain of success in life. EL1o'r ToB1N Scientific Honors: Class President 13D gg Junior Jam- boree 131, Football 14, 51, Hockey 13, 4, gjg Baseball Like Napoleon, Eliot is small, but as the old saying goes, Big things come in small pack- ages. Eliot has proved this on the gridiron and on the rink. lVIany a player has fallen before Eliot's hard charges. But it isn't just in sports that Baldy excels. His pleasing manner has won many friends for him both on the faculty and in the student body. He has conquered everything in his path so far and we hope he never meets his Waterloo as did Napoleon. Good luck, Eliotl ALICE VAIL Scientific Honors: Assistant Circulation Manager of the Mercury Circulation Manager of the Mercury 14jg Basketball 13, 4Jg Cheer Lead- er 13, 4Jg Debating Club 13jg Tennis Team 13, 4jg Class Secretary 11Jg Junior Jamboree 12, gjg Gold Key 14Jg Class Song 14jg Grinds Committee 14Jg Washington Trip 14Jg D.
