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

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

Belmont High School T E R E S A G R E E L I S H Mah Jongg has come into favor, but checkers will have an exponent while Teresa wears her check dress. Her speciality is shorthand, especially transcribing figures. We wonder where some of her friends would be without that last-minute assistance? As a private secretary, we know you will prove to be faithful and efficient. Teresa. RUTH H ABASH Pray allow us to introduce Ruthie, able exponent of the art of fashionable dress. Ever try to count her various gowns? Soon gave up, didn ' t you? So did we. We understand a certain teacher calls her “Bright Eyes . No one will dispute the title, for he realizes But h ' s eyes are as a mirror, reflecting her clever brain. RUTH HANSON “ Who is Ruthie ? What is she. That all our swains adore her Her personal charm, enhanced by her bachelor-button blue dress, buttonholes all bachelors; and the blue of her eyes is the prism which catches and holds the sun ' s Bays. J () II N II A RRIN G T () N Of all the boys that are so clever, there ' s none that can compare with our class artist. He can draw anything from a cartoon to a representation of a “futurist’s Soul Action . You would never guess it though — and John isn ' t the fellow to tell you. The only way of finding out is to read in the papers several years hence, that he has won recognition all over the world with his brush. 1 »
