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]

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 IAKV IcI)KH. I()TT The class of ’23 is particularly blest in its number of musi- cians and appreciators of music. To both of these classes Mary belongs. Because she is very quiet, almost shy, only the few who have chanced to pass her home while she was performing have been privileged to hear her music. Besides these talents, she has great executive ability, and we feel sure that she will make a name for herself either in the busi- ness or the musical world. H.AItLKS .McDONAIJ) Have you a little fairy in your home? Our class of ’23 has a red-hcaded one. There is more surplus energy in “Red” than in a couple of cans of blasting powder, but he can con- trol it. Neither his humor nor his grins can be squelched; they are irresistible. As assistant cheer-leader of the school, he blows off a little steam now and then. He comprises five feet of mischief with enough intelligence thrown in to make this interesting. May he carry his good nature with him through life, bringing cheer to his future associates as he has to his classmates! WI.Ml ' ISKl) .AIcDKK.MOTT Winifred has been a good student from the days when she was a mere freshman with her hair hanging in a thick braid down her back, until now when, as a dignified .senior, her long braid is replaced by a sizable pug pinned to the back of her head. She can cleverly make the fiddle strings hum, being a valuable first violinist to our School Orchestra. Her merits, however, do not stop here, for s ' lc is a faithful friend and an enjoyable companion. ISAIii:i, .McKKN IK As clever and efficient as she is quiet, and as talented and well liked as shf» is clever. That’s Isabel all over. Although she is not very forward at “starting the ball rolling,” she is always ready to enjoy a good time. Isabel is fond of sports, especially tennis, skating, and swimming. It has been rumored that during her moonlight plunges she charmed all the fish with her rich, melodious voice; this may be true, but no more so than the way she charmed Belmont audiences in her role as O Toya San during the performance of “O Hara San.” A la fin, Isabel is a good student, a good friend, and a good sport.
