Belmont High School ELSA THORUD Elsa ' s fascinating drawl transports us quickly to the land of cotton. Is that the twang of a negro ' s banjo in the distance? Xo. It is Elsa ' s musical laugh bringing to mind all the traditions and beauties of the sunny South. The Southerners are supposed to be slow, but Dixie ' s daughter found a place in our hearts in record time. FRANCIS TROCCOLLI Lo and behold! Francis has forgotten to smile — thinking about composing a grand opera, I suppose. Musicians do take life very seriously at times. What a far-away look comes into his eyes, as he takes up his beloved “St rad Perhaps he is seeing the avenue of success opening up for him, as we are sure it will. Don ' t forget to send us all tickets when you are famous, Fran! BURTON TUTTLE A haughty, sophisticated aspect serves to hide from the public eye the good-natured, friendly character of this blond Senior. “Tut suffers with the rest of us when cards are due each month. But when basketball calls, and tennis beckons, it takes more than studies to keep Tut from his favorite pastimes. If he were asked for a fundamental truth we fear it would be,“ Math never made a man.” PAULIN E V I C, N E A U Yellow curls, big blue eyes with a “I-couldn’t-help-it” look in them is Pauline; the French blood, giving place to Saxon coloring and complexion, comes out in her artistic fingertips. Polly has a passion for sewing (those interminable lengths of pongee), cooking and telephoning. If Jane Austen were alive today, she might write a book on “Pauline and Punctuality, for they are synonymous.

The 192 J 4 . Chameleon C A T H ERINE S C II E II E S C II E W SKV Sherry is our Southern flapper with the bright smile and hair to match. When she says, “We all can’t understand what you mean in that winning drawl, we just long to enlighten her to the best of our ability. “Toushie holds the record for being late and spends most of the rest of the time explaining that she couldn’t get her chemistry apron off. CLARA S M A L L At dances and parties, although always late, Clara is a “phantom of delight . When in school, she is so studious that all think her motto is, “Every day of every week, I study more and more! How about it, Clara? Sometimes, when we hear her read her essays or recite, we think Clara helped Webster write. D OIIOTHY SMITH Dancing brown eyes and a contralto voice — irresistible combin- ation. That is one of the many reasons why Dot, although in our midst but a year, is one of the most popular Senior girls. She swings through all her work with a smile in her eyes — you can almost see a mischievous elf wink at you from each of them. Much luck to you. Dot, and may you greet every new day with a smile. MELVIN T H O M A S Mel chases a pack with celerity. Wins a debate with dexterity , Covers a base with velocity. Defends his goal line with ferocity. However, he cannot control the blushes that suffuse his comely countenance when fair ladies bestow on him a smile. Hut cheer up, Mel, even Napoleon had his Waterloo! OelviN iricwos. 25

The 192 4 Chameleon H O L L I S WALSH Studious — that is, sometimes. We think he will go to Harvard that is, sometime. He may he a champion debater — that is, some- time. “Walshie should study harder, and if he does, we can expect something, just as results came when he studied the piano. Keep at it, Walshie, we expect big things. N O R A W HEELE R We had just about become able to recognize Nora as a classmate, when she bobbed her hair and made us go all through the same process again. Suppose now she ' ll let it grow again! Such is life! We wish you had been with us longer, Nora, that we might know more about that disposition, which even at first sight seemed so delightful. E L I Z A R E T II W HITE Elizabeth certainly isn ' t any “indoor sport in any sense of the word. She is a lover of God’s great out-of-doors and all the sports that go with it. Her four seasons of the year are: Tennis, Swimming, Basketball, and Skating. Of course, here and there she does a little studying, just enough to keep somewhere near her clever brother, but we like her quite as much without, as with high marks. HOWARD WHITE We have recently been informed that brilliant people are eccentric, which we believe, for, though “Whitie” is not brilliant, it is our true belief that Belmont ' s sporting star is the most level-brained of persons. We have often witnessed football work by this modest chap which was the outstanding play of the game. So we are confident that Howard will be remembered long after many rains have erased his record from the field. But the realm of Sport dom has not led him to forsake that important verity of life — his education. His power as a debater and his competent management of the class’s finances have made him a valuable asset. ' 27
