Belmont High Schoo MAJORIE HINCKLEY In this diminutive person are embodied two enviable qualities: good-fellowship and helpfulness. Although, at first impression, Marjorie seems to be a demure, sober, little miss, one is surprised to behold, on further acquaintance, the fun and frolic hidden beneath her serious mien. On countless occasions, her ready wit has proved the life of the party. We prophesy a successful future for our industrious little class- mate: a girl who can accept the hardest day’s work with a cheerful, unflinching smile will certainly prosper. WALTER HINES Right here and now we wish to contradict the spurious rumor that in spite of the fact that Walter is ever ready to help one out of a bad “pickle”, he is by no means “one of the 57.” In that branch of education embellished by the precepts of Burke, Bunyan and Burns, this genial fellow excels, to say nothing of his prowess in the lists of athletics. Incidentally, he is the proud possessor of one of those famous smiles for which the Advertising Manager of the Pepsodcnt Company is always on the lookout. LOUISE HOLMES “Good things come in small packages.” An oft-reiterated expression, — but one that will well bear repetition in regard to Louise, the third member of Belmont’s Three Musketeers. Petite? Mais oui! Capable? Certainly! “Bunny” does everything, from the Charleston to driving her “Fierce-Sparrow”, with a most delightful zest and vim. In the years to come, we shall automatically associate this breezy, alert, little sprite with our most cherished memories of Belmont High. WILFRED HOOD “Hoodie”, orignator and first Chief Marshall of our Student-Government system, shines anywhere, whether on the football field, on the basketball court, on the cinder path, wielding the awe-inspiring gavel at a class meeting, or — why go on? He is the most popular fellow in ’27, a con- clusive proof of his general efficiency. Always has he stood near the head of his class in regard to studies, and now, we understand, he is majoring in civics: for we hear from reliable sources that Marian means far more to him than a city in Ohio. 24

The 1927 Chameleon NATALIE HANSON “ Certain stars shoot madly from their spheres To hear this fair maid’s music.” “This is station — broadcasting from the Boston Opera House, a concert by Miss Natalie Hanson, the well-known pianist who has astonished American and European audiences by her remarkable performances.” Thus, at some future date, an eloquent Nestor of the air will announce the main feature of the evening. Shall we be proud of her? Well, rat her l JOHN T. HARRISON Judging from the fact that John was chosen to fdl the important position of Joke Editor of the CHAMELEON, we infer that he must be the biggest joke in the Senior Class. However, although humor is apparently his special forte, our conclusion is erroneous; for a more conscientious and more serious worker than our Ivy Orator need not be desired. Whether in the classroom or on the athletic field, John always succeeds in doing well his allotted tasks. Keep it up, John; that’s what pays in this world. DOROTHY HAVILAND Who is that slender, blue-eyed girl dispensing the precious red and yellow “meal-checks” from behind her fortress, the ticket-table? Who but Dot, cashier extraordinary and in- dispensable member of the lunch-room “gang”? It is rare indeed that she makes a mistake, whether in giving change or in scholastic work. Not only has she qualifications for an excellent stenographer, but also she has an artistic ability that will bear watching — Maxfield Parrish had best look to his laurels. PHYLLIS L. HINCHLIFFE It is rumored through these historic walls that “Phil” is one of the charter members of that celebrated sorority, “Flappa, flappa, flappa.” Be that as it may, who can ever forget her as our dynamic cheer-leader? Even dignified, deep- throated Seniors are known to have responded to her wiles of persuasion. A most active and talented member of the Belmontians, an accomplished devotee of Terpischore, a member of the CHAMELEON staff, and a true friend to all. Phil throws herself heart and soul into any tasks which may be assigned her. 23

CALL IjJ Carla” is one of our talented public readers, possessing the double power of bringing tears to our eyes and pride to our hearts. She it is who so smilingly and graciously conducts us to our seats in the local “Opera House”. An active member of the Spanish Club, she seems to take quite an interest in naval officers, no doubt on account of the possibility of sailing to Spain some day. Can’t you just picture Caroline strumming a guitar in some far-away Spanish villa? i ¥ 25 H
