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

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

Belmont High School DESPINA LOUMOUS Diminutive Despina! Elfish little piece of girlhood, tripping airily through life! Just her smile will turn the dark cloud inside out. Prince Kintara of “O Hara San fame would not have made a fitting entrance had he not b een ushered in by our basketball captain masquerading as a Jap. E D W A II D L Y O X S Edward is the possessor of the “smile that won ' t wear off. From day to day it seems to increase in brightness, enfolding more and more friends in its cheerful rays. Hurry up and grow, Ed. that you may live up to your name in stature as well as heart! Ed has great possibilities. II E L E X M ACKE Y A bit of animated Dresden, with the sweetest disposition in the world — one who has been on a committee with Helen will tell you her practical suggestions are invaluable. Any social event is sure to be a success if Helen rides at the helm — that is, if Dresden dolls do ride at helms. We have an idea they are shepherdesses. But we don ' t care as long as we go with her! THEODORE MALMSTROM “Latest copies of Life and .Judge! ' ' What ' s the commotion? Only our irresistible Joke Editor peddling his wares. Give him a few min- utes of your time and he will convince you there is nothing like the “bright and funny side of life . Better not make a ludicrous blunder in class when Teddy is around or down it will go in his notebook for publication in our Chameleon - . Incidentally we should like to add that Ted is believed to rival Pythagoras in Math. 20
