■Stevenson “Of ivhrit shall a man be proud if he is not proud of his friends ?” — HELEN BARRY At times Helen seems very serious, but behind that quiet manner, there is a good deal of jollity. Her big glasses make her appear wise, and she lives up to that semblance. NETTIE GASS “Early to bed and early to rise” says the old maxim, but Nettie has changed it around to suit her method. It is late to rise with her. If the time she spent in the tardy room was put on her history, she would earn a distin- guished medal. A smile carries one a long way, ’tis said: sometimes we fear, Nettie, you depend upon that to get you to school on time. But Nettie is greatly liked both for her even disposition and for her skill in basket ball. DOROTHY BORGESON Dorothy Borgeson, although a recent member of our class, has made many friends and is well liked by all her class mates. She has proved what a “jolly good fellow” she is. Dorothy has always been keenly interested in all of our class activities; she is an enthusiastic basket ball player. We must not forget, along with her beaming per- sonality, the light she sheds over our dark and dreary days, for she is always smiling, bright, and gay, wearing the brightest colors every day. FLORENCE CORRIGAN Florence appears very mouse-like, but she is an un- usually jolly girl at appropriate times. That she is a faithful worker has been proved, not only by her valuable aid on the refreshment committee at the Senior Prom, but also by her duties so faithfully performed in her libi ' ary work. Being thoughtful of others and ever willing to help, has made “Flossie” a general favorite. [ 22 ]

Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem. HARRY LOOMER It is said that still waters flow deep. Harry, evidently has vast depths, so we advise him to let them work, their wonders to perform, rather than make it necessary for us to sound them out. We feel that his handicap is not a lack of opportunity, but rather of courage. It is not difficult to find publicity seekers, but a person who actually dodges the limelight is a rarity. In this latter species, we find Harry — quiet, unobtrusive. ANNA SULLIVAN Anna Sullivan, the little lady full of charm! What is the secret of your winning way, Anna? Bubbling with laughter, chatter and smiles the livelong day, Anna surely has contributed a great deal to the happiness of our class. How she has known her lessons so well and received such high marks will always be a wonder to her classmates, for lessons never seemed to occupy her thoughts. GEORGE GOODWIN WENDELL Everyone in school, everyone in town, everyone who ever went through Belmont knows our “Goody”. He is incom- parable, incorrigible, and irresistible. Wavy hair, nifty complexion, about six feet of genial good-fellowship, and a general air of childhood is summing Goodwin up in eight- een words. When you hear noise, laughter, and bustle you can safely bet it’s George “doing it” for some shirker. DORIS BARTSCH It is a known fact that Doris would rather play base- ball, tennis or take a hike than study, but for all that, she is a lovable and an ever true friend, always ready to greet you with a smile. If Doris would smile more on her studies and less on her heroes, perhaps the former would profit. Nevertheless, whatever hero makes her his heroine, if he does not choose exactly a philosophical mind, yet he will be blessed with an amiable helpmate, who can at least please his palate and fill his pipe.

Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” WILLIAM FURLONG “Bunny is one of the most congenial members of our class, but unfortunately he is addicted to spring fever twelve months in the year. When Boreas rules the earth, and William finds the proverbial forty winks doubly ap- preciated, it is not an uncommon sight to see him coming- down Orchard Street, digging the sand out of his eyes. But “Bunny is clever when he has a mind to display a little alacrity and use his grey matter; and we are sure a promising future is open for him. When many years have passed, we shall remember “Bunny” by his smile and ever ready wit. FRANCES PETERSON Frances, a lover of nature and all its beauties, is one of our most studious seniors. Her fluency in language is the result of a wide range of reading. All of her time, however, is not consumed in this manner, for there re- mains plenty of time for sports. With eyes so bright and face so sweet, she is a great favorite with the class of ’22. EUNICE COOK Eunice is our champion fast-talker. In fact, her rapid tongue pours forth, in one minute, more words than any one else can speak in one second. Every week she is knit- ting on a different sweater; we are sure her stock of them must surely number at least ten. She shines in English and toe-dancing. ALICE SKAHAN Alice is usually the first one to introduce a new style of haircomb or hair dressing. She is often seen standing by her classroom door, trying to absorb her Latin, English, or History lesson before the last bell rings. Besides being- lively and full of fun, she is very popular among her many friends. [23]
