Belmont High School JOSEPHINE HOOKER “A daughter of the gods; divinely tall and most divinely fair.” One cannot help but think that Tennyson had our Joe in mind when he penned those immortal lines. The great outdoors has its call for Joe as well as the great indoor kingdom of study. Conscientious, lovable and of distinguishe d stateliness, Joe is premiere and unforgettable in the Class of ’24. • , DORIS HYDE ‘‘30-Love! calls Doris as she gayly executes a smashing serve — and cheerfully we suffer defeat at the hands of so charming an an- tagonist. If Doris ever wishes to commercialize her rose velvet complexion, we suggest she pose for the company whose slogan is, “ Keep that school girl complexion . Her brilliant coloring framed by masses of dusky hair makes her appearance exceedingly striking. BETTY JONES Betty laughs with the world. Twinkling dark eyes looking from a Puckish face; demureness covering the mischief until an occasion reveals it. a better companion and friend could not be found. But we are not all perfect — and Betty? Sh-sh. don ' t let her hear the word. Candy! She is a total abstainer. Toothpick silhouette, you know Betty and Walter Camp are great friends. JOSEPH KELLEY “Joe is the possessor of some of the sweetest shades of blushes in evidence this season. Although his face is delicate rose at times, we know that inside, he is true blue always. Through thick and thin Joe will ever be your staunch friend. Don’t be doubtful about betting your money on Joe’s being the most dependable fellow in school. Mr. Burke and the hockey enthusiasts will confirm the statement. 18

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

The 192J . Chameleon JEANETTE LaRONT E A smile that cheers the sachlest heart; a laugh like the breath of spring. To do a good deed every hour, is to “Jan” an easy thing. And to make a good recitation every other minute is easier still for our “Happy Heart . Coming to school but one day in three doesn’t hinder her progress any. See those mysterious history dots accumu- late on her card! Evidently, in Jan’s case it is “Absence makes the mind grow stronger.” 1 4 ' W v M A R V L A I) I) Just because Mary doesn’t make a great deal of noise, is no sign she isn’t a “little bit of all right”. Although diminutive in stature, her ideals are far from small. She has proved many times that she not only has heaps of sense, but that she can use it as well. We re with you, Mary! H O W A R D L A W The mathematics shark! We suppose that as soon as Howard leaves high school he will get a job where he never will see a figure. Howard is an enthusiastic disciple of Charles Ray; we hope it doesn’t interfere with his friendship with Edmond Burke. As a member of the “Camels”, we hope his name will go ringing down in history — we hope it will, anyway. IRVING LOUR Lohr and his pal often get mixed up. Oh. no! we don’t mean that at all — we mean that people get them mixed up. Irving would never be guilty of such a procedure; he is too level-headed for that. Some- one facetiously remarked, “Lohr’s the ’2-t string bean!” But in spite of his height or because of it, and his sunny disposition, Irving is one of our most popular fellows. ID
