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

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

Belmont High School EVALYN KEITH Evalyn is a popular, all-round girl, one who does not especially excel her classmates in any one field, but enters into all activities with equal enthusiasm — that is almost equal: for she does surpass all in respect to hair-dressing. The manner in which she does up her golden locks is surely the conception of a genius! She has been wearing her “pug” for quite some time now, so we have become fairly “Hughes” to it, and we do like it — don’t we George? ELINOR KELLEY Picture a slim exquisite girl with a sleek brown bob and dark eyes, in whose depths lurks a suggestion of mystery. Add to these the facts that “Billie” has a rich contralto voice and wears clothes of a most Parisian fashion — and you have a faint conception of the pleasure that is ours on making Elinor’s acquaintance. As the fascinating heroine of the musical comedy, “Springt ime”, presented in our Junior Year, Elinor scored a decided hit. Do you wonder she has more beaux than a regiment of archers? JEAN KELSO “ What star is this ? What tumult in the heavens ' ? Whence cometh this alarm and the noise?’ Yes, sad to confess, although Jean stars both in athletics and in learning, she unhappily also excels in pandemonium. Twice Vice-President of the class, basketball captain, nascent tennis champion, Associate Editor of this — this — (words fail us) — certainly there can be no question about it; Jean Stan’s alone a head above us all. CECELIA KERRIGAN “Try, try again”, chants Cecelia — and she does. In every class we find this true. Although she has not yet reached the peak of scholarship she is steadily advancing toward this height. However, while consecrating herself to the attainment of her desire, she does not look only at the serious side of life; for her sunny disposition guarantees a ready welcome for her in any gathering. Due to her sparkling jocundity, she seems to — “ shame the stars as daylight doth a lamp.” 26
