The 1927 Chameleon ELSIE ANDERSON “As busy as a bee the whole day long.” Certainly this applies to Elsie, member of our able Art Committee. One of our most conscientious workers, she not only has the ability, but also the will to labor throughout “a long study period,” hearing nothing, seeing nothing but the task before her. As with her lessons, so with everything else she under- takes — it is a marked success. Frankness, open-heartedness and truthfulness are the “ immediate jewels” of her soul. Believing in the truth of the line: “She that goes gently, goes safely and also far”, we predict a happy and distinguished life for Elsie, one of the best of classmates. HELEN ANDERSON This golden-haired, blue-eyed girl with an interesting, independent manner is one of our brightest stars. The First Honor Roll will surely feel Helen’s absence next year, for she has held a permanent place upon that precious parch- ment. In addition to possessing undisputed superiority over the majority of us in the mastery of lessons, in clearness of thought, and in speech, Helen has a bright, winning nature that chases away the “blues” and spreads sunshine wherever she goes. FRANK BALDAU Judging from the trail of broken hearts he leaves in his wake, this famed orator of the History Class is no misogynist. It is remored that he was one of the officers of that late- lamented coterie known by the vulgar as the German Club; it is a well-known fact that he has held positions of respon- sibility in the class; and as for track — he is preeminent. Frank is a lover of archaeology: so strongly does he delight in studying ancient cities that next year, we are led to believe, he plans to journey to Antioch. MARY BARTLETT What adjective would better describe our “Mary Lou” than incomparable? In her we find all the desirable and widely-diversified qualities of a typical American school- girl. To mention all Mary’s various activities would be a task for a lexicographer; be it sufficient to mention that she has been Manager of Basketball, Secretary of the Bclmont- ians, a diligent and thorough scholar, and above all, a friend. 15
