Belmont Iliijh School CATHERINE EDGAR There is no one in Belmont High who does not know and like our Titian-haired secretary. She has a charming personality, and is a steadfast friend. Sometime during the coming year, Bradford will have discovered our all-round star and claim her for its own. She comes of a family well versed in horticulture, but the prettiest flower they have ever produced is Cathie. HOY ELDER Three cheers for the fellow who has the temerity to climb to the Honor Roll among so many girls! How he can star at basketball, studies and “ managering ”, all at once, is a wonder to us. If you mention the subject, he will just smile and slip out of sight for fear you are going to praise him. V I O L E T ELMGS Sunny, snappy, and scholarly, we hand it to you, Vi. Like the flower whose name she bears. Violet is both beautiful and modest. Her limpid grey eyes, moreover, but reflect the grey matter behind; for “Vi stars in all pursuits and studies. She is equally good at writing themes, pounding our Superintendent’s typewriter, captaining her basketball team, and editing this section of our illus- trious little reptile. JOSEPH EURICO As a “pigskin follower,” Zip shines, but, sad to say, his report card usually needs polishing badly. If he would make his report talk as well as he does his fiddle, we would award him first honors. However, Joe can get ahead if he wants to; only Why Worry is his watchword until it becomes evident he must brace up to stay on the team. 14

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

The 1924 Chameleon DORIS F E L L () W S Oh! Doris. Doris! How do you do it? As she captures one A after another, she sets a standard because of which some of us lesser mortals have to strive hard to appear just “normally dumb”. But we will forgive her, for although always ahead, she is never a grind, but just as ready for Jest and Vouthful Jollity as the rest of us. We take our hats off to the “all-round sport”! W I L L I A M FISK E Here ' s another fellow who heard the Class of 3-t at Belmont high was just about the best thing in the country, so he hopped onto his motor cycle and came here with Mercurial speed just in time to get acquainted with Mr, Burke and to show us all he knows about Henry VIII. L E W I S F () S T E R None of us will ever forget Lewis ' s “fighting face as he dug his cleats into the sod on the gridiron when the enemy threatened our goal line. His “do or die determination will ever be an inspiration to all of us. Not only in athletics has Lewis been our greatest pillar of strength, but as a debater one must look hard to find his equal. It has ever been his desire to do his all for his class — serving as Class President, Football Captain, Business Manager of the Chameleon, and in every other way he possibly could. Lewis deserves to be knighted, “Sir Faithful”. AUSTIN FROST “Ivy , as you have so often heard him called, is always at the front when it comes to pleasure. But don ' t think that is all he thinks of, because when it comes to pulling beets, he takes the prize. “ Ivy , with his six feet of merriment, finds it very easy to drop a basketball through the basket. Milton ' s beloved literature does not entirely agree with his constitution, but good luck to you, Austin, and be careful not to bump your head on the door when entering Room 307. 15
