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-»

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

The 1 92 Chameleon E 1) M U N D ( ' U L L I N G T () X And now we come to the most obliging fellow in the Senior class, and that is saying something. It is hard to run any social event successfully without the aid of Edmund’s versatile brush. lie will create stunning posters at a minute’s notice. It pays to advertise when Edmund supplies the material No matter what he undertakes, he puts his whole being into it — even if it is making a clown out of himself at a Gymnasium Exhibiting. M A R J () R IE I)E A X Oh, Marjorie, Marjorie Dean, Oh, Marjorie, u-here hare you been. . all these years that you wait until just before graduation to join us? We hope you haven ' t been “ up in the sky with the man in the flying machine” as the other Marjorie in the song was; for then he might come back and take you away from us again. And then where would we be? But we live in hopes that he would not recognize you now that you have bobbed your golden locks. K E X N E T H I) U G A X A good thing is soon found out. Kenneth hadn’t been with us long before it was discovered he is the possessor of an extremely pleasant voice. There aren’t many selections under English I that Kenneth hasn’t read to us. But his voice is no more pleasing than his dispo- sition. We predict great things for this great-hearted lad. VIRGI X I A E A It L E Although Virginia doesn’t shout and yell like most of the Red Indians composing ’24, that is no sign she is lacking in class spirit. Indeed, actions speak louder than words, and Virginia ' s require no ear trumpets to be heard. Her efficient management contributed largely to the success of the Senior Candy Sale. Virginia anticipates going to Cedar (’rest College We wonder if the catalogue quotation, “Three well known men’s colleges within seventeen miles. . . ”, has anything to do with it? Whatever the reasons for her choice, we feel certain that Cedar Crest is to be envied. 13
