1923 THE CHAMELEON 1923 ( HAKI.KS KKIiI-0(;G Allow us to present our formula for a successful class president — magnetic personality, grace and true ability, well mixed. We are unanimous in declaring “Charlie” Kellogg the embodiment of all these desirable quali es. The versa- tility of our Junior President is manifeste (i in more ways than one. Manager, interior decorator (of dance halls), salesman, all this is in the day’s work for “Cheerful Charlie.” We are confident he will be a credit to whatever line he takes up in the future. -MIU.ICK.NT KI.NtiSCKV Here’s the young lady who has laughed her way through high school. Even history with its gruesome tales has been unable to subdue her. Millicent’s ever-ready wit and sugar- coated sarcasm have been the sole means of saving the class’ “Calamity Janes” from nervous prostration. She is repeat- edly detailing the “wonderful motor trip she had during the afternoon” and the “marvelous movie she attended in the evening,” to .say nothing of the two or more enjoyable hours she spent in studying. But Millicent, your lessons are usually done, so we shall have to confess that you are just naturally clever. It has been said that Millicent is the best cure for sad hearts. Indeed, after graduation we expect that she will rival Mildred Champagne in her “advice to the lovelorn.” MAKIE l,. liO.NTE Clever, studious, ambitious, musical, artistic, all of these qualities apply to our Marie. She is a veritable ray of sun- shine — always happy and wanting to make others so. The saying goes that people who possess red hair have fiery tem- pers; therefore, we are inclined to believe that her hair is not red. She is the young lady who always dresses in Dame Fashion’s latest. If you desire advice in dressmaking or millinery, just go to Marie; we ' ll guarantee that she can sat- isfy you to a “T”. ItABIiAKA COO.MKIi It is said that one does not love an object that cannot re- turn the affection; nevertheless, there are exceptions to every rule, for certainly “Bab’s” bed must love her, because it hates so much to give her up in the morning. But cheer up! Bet- ter late than never! Barbara is one of the b’st liked girls in the class. Ever ready to laugh or to be serious, she enters into the spirit of the thing with ardent zeal. We understand that she is to be an instructor of young minds. Our best wishes for your utmost success, Barbara! [14]

1923 THE CHAMELEON 1923 THELMA HIHBAHD As a freshman, Thelma’s most apparent attribute was her curls; as a senior, it is her smile. Only on rare occasions do we see her, and not her smile. “Teddy as we like to call her, is a living example of the principle, among our younger set, that one can be both cute and capable. Any- thing that she attempts goes off with a flourish, whether it be acting or writing poetry. We like to point her out as the all-round, B. H. girl, the first who will make the “Who’s Who,” not only because she is so charming, but also on ac- count of her marked success in all her undertakings. EDITH JOHXSOX Wonder of wonders, and prodigy of prodigies, a girl whose tongue is not in perpetual motion ! Although she is rather reserved, all those who know her well will agree that she is a most sympathetic, good-natured friend, and the most will- ing helper that can be found. There is real substance to her character which makes her a right good companion. When in history Edith makes an exceptionally brilliant reci- tation, Miss Annie Johnson takes great pride in saying, “Oh, yes, the Johnsons are always smart.” Of course they are! ETHEL KAY Ethel of the curly hair! When we think of those cluster- ing curls, we realize how lucky she is to be exempt from the agony of stiff, painful curlers. Ethel is always quiet and unassuming, yet through her sincere friendliness, she has become one of our most popular classmates. “Ready for fun and ready for work,” seems to be her motto. ELIZABETH KEEFE “Of all the things I like the best. Dancing is the Jolliest.” Perhaps some day “Betty” will surprise us by becoming the world’s champion, non-stop dancer. You never can tell! “Betty” ranks among the popular girls of the class. Al- though she is not “Neck-and-Neck” with our valedictorian yet she makes up for it in other ways. So cheer up, “Betty,” all men need digestible food and efficient wives. [13]

1923 THE CHAMELEON 1923 DK ' K liOlD Foi- four years “Dick” has been the prime mover in all our class activities. In all that he has done, he has manifested his exceptional ability and willingness, being an active par- ticipant in arranging our social affairs, serving as our Sopho- more president, and last, but by no means least, officiating as the very able editor-in-chief of our “Chameleon.” “Dick” seems to have been blest by most of the Muses. Aided by Cleo he has been able to drag down an A in History, to say nothing of his other studies; Euterpe is responsible for his agility at the piano and “sax;” Terpsichore also has been generous, for “Dick” pushes a mean Douglas. All in all “Dick” is one of the most talented and popular members of our class. EDYTHh: TAl-KIX A truly vivacious young lady, — half the life of the class, — is Miss Edith (beg pardon) Edijthe Lufkin. No matter what sort of social activity appears, we notice her in the midst of the bustle, working “to beat the band.” Wasn’t our senior prom a remarkable success? You bet it was, with all due thanks to Edythe. She is a born actress, pos.sessing a sweet little voice which added greatly to the success of our operetta “O Kara San.” However, there is one thing which causes her much unseemly worry and anxiety, and that is whether to cut her hair again or let it grow. We know that she will be very grateful to anyone who will help her solve this ever increasing problem. MARY MAItEAX The girl with all the pep, so pretty, and vivacious, such a splendid dancer, so captivating and popular! Everybody likes her! She lives up to her brunette piquancy and has time for numerous social activities. Mary has also succeeded in eloping with the highest record for our four years’ residence in this classic institution. What more do we need to say? EHAXKLIX Mc(’OY Studious, illu.strious, industrious — here “Mac” is summed up in three words; studious in school, illustrious in the art of soda-slinging, industrious in radio. Do not forget, Mac, that silence only hides your ready wit. “Let your light shine” and lighten the hearts of those about you. We know you have ability from the manner in which you managed baseball this spring, and as for wit and humor — just ask your friends. [15]
