Yes, it is Jessie's merry little laugh that you hear when everyone else is quiet and busy. Because of her great sense of humor, she can always find or think of something to laugh about. Jessie is jolly, happy-go-lucky, and good-na- tured, and is always willing to make ex- cuses for others. She is also fond of reading, and you may be sure it is not history or English, but one of the latest novels. BENEDICI' CARL NEUMAN Now settled in all peace and rest he passeth quiet days.-Virgil. Well here's Ben, silent as a church bell on Monday and always the same, rain or shine. He'll help you out in anything when you ask him: if you don't ask, you don't get helped. Ben gets along though, always slow, steady and un- shakable as the rock of Gibraltar. After school, however. Ben gets into action and delivers papers with vim seldom shown in the class room. But as for one shy of girls, that's Ben all over. MARGARET ELIZABETH O'HARA An honest heart possesses a kingdom. -Seneca. Oh, I'm not Irish! Pat isn't Irish. No! She doesn't even look Irish, for her hair is red, very red, she has freckles. and she wears green every Wednesday. Friday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday. Thursday and Saturday. All the other days she wears pink. She is very witty and very good-natured. Now who has ever seen a witty or good-natured Irish- man? No, she isn't Irish! Twenty-six

Mac is vice-president of our class and advertising manager of this book, which means a great deal since it means plenty of work which only he could accom- plish. Mac retains some of the canny Scotch of his ancestors when he sails through on the lowest marks, and some of their dignity and argumentative power when he protests them. Mac's best accomplishment, however, is a natural one, as he possesses a fine bari- tone voice and is ever the leader in musi- cal functions. ELVA RUTH MELLOR Whose song held lynxes spellbound. --Virgil. Who has not heard of our IVC song- ster, Elva? Certainly very few, because E1va's noted for her fine soprano voice. And how unlike other girls she is when it comes to foolishness and frivolity of all kinds. There is one person at whom Elva really does laugh and that's Gluyas William's Skippy. She takes great delight in reading this tiny bit of wit, and you can always find her Cif no teacher is aroundl with a big News opened in front of her and her eyes fixed straight forward on Skippy. HERBERT IRVING MITCHELL He burst his sides with 'immoderate laughter.-Petrouzus. Mitch has acquired a reputation around school as the I-Ialethorpe Sheik. There are several advantages to his coming from Halethorpe: one is that he's sure to be here on time, because the bus is: another is that his bus tickets offer ex- cellent material for his artistic decora- tions. Sometimes, however, when his Studebaker needs a trip to the garage for repairs, Mitch drives over to Catons- ville and forsakes the school bus. Twenty-five

Behind City's Oriole one may always iind Grace, a blond, curly-haired lass. and one of C. H. S.'s ardent rooters. Quite an accomplished dancer is Grace, and as she has music in her soul, you ought to hear her play. I admit you won't see her at the piano for any length of time, for she is rather a restless per- son: when Grace isn't at the piano, you may always find her smiling merrily and humming a clever little ditty. VIVIAN LITCHFIELD PARKER Distinguished from the crowd, he shines a gem.-Virgil. Here is Vivian. He's an Englishman and consequently the best of good fel- lows. In his swanky way he calls our June Bug a caterpillar. I-Ie doesn't mean that as a slam, though, because he is editor, and, of course, he is proud of it. After working hard all day, Viv goes home to tune in his radio. Cuba is his aim. Sometimes he gets disgusted. and then he draws Spanish cavaliers or Gothic statues. Lessons or girls never bother Viv. ELEANOR ELIZABETH PFEIFFER A noble heart.--Virgil. If you happen, at any time, to see a spry, curly-haired girl walking down the corridor, that is Eleanor. She is al- ways lively and full of fun, and laughs most of the time. Her sunny disposi- tion is envied by the most of us who sometimes are inclined to be crabby. On Mondays, when there are dances, Elea- nor is always besieged with invitations. which show how popular she is. Twenty-seven
