Belmont High School GLADYS ANDERSON Golden hair and eyes of blue that hold secrets in them, hold them only till she meets you; then her secrets bubble over joyously. Dancing, basketball, and lessons — all are a source of her joy. We wonder if she will impart her sense of fun along with the A-B-C’s she hopes to teach. WAYNE AUSTIN Tick-tick-tick! Slow but sure, describes “Ticker” to a “T.” When the football team looked for a Captain, they chose Wayne; when our class voted for its president, we selected Wayne. These demonstrations of his popular- ity, however, did not overcome his shyness; whether plunging through Watertown’s line, or listening to some- one else’s line, he has remained “Silent Wayne.” You can bet that Dartmouth is getting a good thing in “Ticker.” EDNA BAILEY Station B. H. S. presenting the unusual in personality, namely, Miss Edna Bailey. Perhaps, by this time, you have read one of her delicious short stories in the Book Dial or some equally fine magazine. Although Edna waited until November to cast her lot with us, she lost no time in stepping to the front as far as marks were concerned, for despite her dilatory arrival she took but one Mid-Year Exam. Even if her keen sense of humor and marked ability as a writer are not fully appreciated by all of us, some day we shall assert with pride, after reading an unusually clever story, “Yes, Edna was a member of that famous Class of ’25.” HAROLD BAKER Quiet, unassuming Harold! Yet his friends have found that he can be one of the jalliest fellows alive. His ambition, judging from a noisy fifth period spent in the typewriting room, is to become a secretary, so, girls, beware, or your anticipated position may be confiscated by a dapper young man. 10

The 1925 Chameleon NELSON BARTSCH Nel, our fresh air friend, is an exponent of the pastime made famous by Stevenson. Last year he did a heel and toe to Quebec and this year, we understand, he will see the Golden Gate. Nel once gave us a little talk on his travels accompanied by a beautiful, not to mention highly instructive, display of “galloping shadows.” Great was the enthusiasm of his audience on that occasion. Had Nelson lived in the days when knights were bold, we assure you he would have been a dashing figure. As it is, he is still dashing — chiefly on the way to school. His habit of coming to school minus a hat in all seasons must be beneficial, for Nel’s head, as well as his feet, carries him far. FREDERICK BENNETT “Bill” is our lady’s man! He ranks sixth in the class — alphabetically speaking, only; but when it comes to music, that’s where “Bill” shines. His work in Sylvia will long be remembered, and his endeavors on the cornet, as part of the orchestra, weren’t so bad either. We regret that none of the Metropolitan Opera Scouts were on hand at the presentation of Sylvia, because, as we under- stand it, the world is still waiting for someone to fill Caruso’s shoes. As Fred goes to Hebron, he leaves a trail of broken hearts behind, including — (we withhold names for obvious reasons). ROSILIND BJORK Rosilind has achieved what has been hitherto considered impossible, a combination of unsurpassed beauty and an aptitude for assimilating the Messrs. Burke and Fite. Rosilind has successfully overcome the temptations of the barber’s shears and as a result unbobbed locks lend an air of distinction to a person who will ever remain distinguished in the eyes of her friends. NETTIE BRIGGS Although it would be almost impossible to imagine Nettie as Joan of Arc or Queen Elizabeth, we can well imagine her as “laughter holding both its sides.” Her ready wit reveals a brilliant mind, but unfortunately she believes in the old adage “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; study, and you stay home alone.” 11
