The 192 Ji Chameleon I) () R O T II Y B () W Y E R Would that we could but portray the eloquence of Dorothy’s eyes! Every sentence is punctuated with flashing, melting, wholly irresistible glances. Doesn ' t she remind you of Milton ' s line. . . . Her rapt soul sitting in her eyes?” Incidentally, Dot can tell you anything you want to know about the complicated art of cooking. MAX BRILLIANT Max, the man of business, carries around in his brain a goodly store of Burke ' s maxims, we believe. Just introduce a debatable question to put Max in his element. He will shoot words at you faster than a Maxim gun could bullets. Perhaps the similarity of names is the cause of his speed. Nevertheless, Max can convince you that black is white, so what does it matter how he does it? 7 mmm CATHERINE B II 0 D E RICK Catherine has a winning way about her. She wins high marks; she wins our hearts; but best of all, she wins our confidence, for there is something so reliable and frank in her makeup that we know to trust in her will surely be the right course. S A R A H C A R L E T () N This quiet little miss does things silently and efficiently. There is much that is worthwhile under your brown hair, Sarah, and your eyes are unprobed depths of mystery. You are the kind of person who makes us realize that silence can be strength. II

Belmont High School DOROTHY ALLISON’ Such talking! Never stopping for a breath! New dance steps, basketball, bobbed hair! What an enthusiast our Dot is! Her very presence fills the room with happiness and joy of living. In History class, she is always the one who observes that sign, “Think , With all these qualities we know she will make an A-l Kindergarten teacher. MILDRED A L M G R E X Mildred ' s shining mass of hair is as great a source of envy as her high scholarship. How grieved we were to see that big black wig encase Milly ' s locks in “O Hara San”. You don ' t know Milly very well, you say? Oh, that is because she is retiring, taking delight in hiding her light under a bushel. But get around her wall of reticence and take a peek at the delightful garden of her character; quiet humor and deep thoughtfulness flourish side by side with a helpful spirit and conscientious nature. Belmont can point to her valedictorian with pride. MATTIE A R I C O A wee, little star was lost one day, so instead of going back to the sky she came to Belmont. Mattie Arico is that star. Steadfastness, sister of Love of Mankind. We are awfully sorry for the other constellations, of course, but we can ' t look sad when such good fortune comes our way. HELEN BOWEN “A friend in neei is a frieni inieel. Who would not know that this applied to Helen! She has but lately come to Belmont, and yet we feel as though we had always known her, for Helen has the quiet ehuminess of nature that makes one like to call her “f iend . 10

tammmmmmmmmmm wmm Belmont High School ROBERT CATE “ How do you like your Oysters? Raw! Raw! Raw! Help. Bob, give us a chance. We know you are quite sophisticated; the slam was but a sham to hide our admiration for your athletic prowess, massive intellect, and dramatic ability. The best “all round fellow among us has fitted out our little Chameleon- in true blue fashion so we know he will help brighten up the green of Dartmouth next year. R U T H C H E X E Y When one watches Ruth enter a room, he is reminded of Hebe, cup-bearer of the gods - for her stately mien, golden hair, “peaches and cream complexion and radiant smile, make her appear to be the reincarnation of that mythical damsel. Ruth is an ardent fan of athletics. Xo ball field would seem com- plete if she were not t here, cheering her latest hero to victory. What team wouldn ' t outdo itself with such whole-hearted support? H E L E X COL E M A X “Didn ' t anyone get that letter? asks Miss Russell in despair. The whole stenography class looks blank and turns away. Who could take a letter at 1 10 words a minute in time of peace, to say nothing of working tinder the fire of noises issuing from the new addition? That was merely a rhetorical question; but we will break the rule for once and answer it by saying that Helen is the only one who constantly shows bravery under fire. Shorthand notes aren’t the only things Helen takes with speed. Look how quickly her contagious merriment took us captive. n LEWIS COME AT Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. This is Lewis, not Clifford, Comeau We have no twins in ML so Lewis tries to look like his brother just to accommodate 11 s. That is the keynote of his character — accom- modation. Of all the committee men. he is the most willing to do the “behind-the-scenes work. The only applause he wishes is the satisfaction which comes from doing a task faithfully and well. l-»
