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 »

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

The 192 If. Chameleon RUTH HAVILA N I) In the spring this maiden ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of happy little jingles for our Year Book. She gathers her classmates ' faults and virtues together; mixes them well with a pinch of satire and an essence of love; and serves them hot with a saucy smile. We hardly knew demure Ruthie when she came to school with her hair “done up” in the latest mode. But as she is no longer a child, she has put away childish curls in favor of hairpins and permanent waves. ' WL LOIS HENDERSO N Not of a type is our Lois. To attempt to classify her would be impossible. A stranger may believe her to be very reserved, but when one comes within the boundary of her true nature, he discovers variations of light and shade such as an artist would love. Rom an austere stranger she becomes a warm friend. She is another of our literary lights, yet contrives to diffuse the radiance of praise every- where but on herself. J A N E T HOCH Vivacious, musical, charming, fun-loving “Jan!” — and studious, scholarly, skillful, serious, Jan! Which side of her antithetical nature do we like best? Ah! A question for the sphinx! We rather imagine it would don a look of sagacity and say, “Choose not, unless ye choose both.” Of course, we would comply with alacrity, for who would care to lose even the tiniest bit of “Hochy’s ’disposition?” DOROTHY HONETH There never was a more conscientious student than Dot. But we fear her light will be hid under a bushel if she doesn’t assert her right to the floor in History and let the over-enthusiastic members see she means business. There are many “Dots ' in the Class of ’24, but we wouldn’t trade one for all the “Dashes in the world. 17
