June Bug ui' ' ,, ,, 1929 IDA MAY BOONE Haste thee nymph and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity. ALLOW me to introduce Boonie-but of course you already know her. Boonie's recipe for popularity seems to be a large dose of amia- bility which she administers in the form of a ready smile, a friendly word, or a bit of sweet sarcasm unto everyone. And she is a Student Rep. Who is better fitted for the part than Boonie-the ever jolly, ever calm, ever depend- able Boonie? However, she has one weakness. Shh!-it's the boys!-but we don't blame her, for she can well afford it. She's a real sport, a valuable friend, and a type Catonsville is proud of! OSCAR DANIEL BOWER What should a man do but be merry IF ever you see a laughing group of people, you can be assured that Oscar is the center of attention. One always forgets his troubles when being entertained by this humorous fellow. as you might expect. Studying is the least of Oscar's worries, but he gets there just the same -probably because of his wonderful personality. But besides being witty, Oscar claims the added honor of being goal keeper of the soccer team- except when he is off for a deficiency in physics. Such a skillful goal keeper is he that it takes more than a good man to- get what he misses. Now that we have come to the parting of the ways. we will all miss Oscar, but we are sure that he will succeed in his happy-go-lucky manner. JOHN ZIMMERMAN BOWERS None but himself can be his parallel JOHN, a bashful, smiling. academic student, is a good scholar. He solemnly avers that he was one of the most troublesome boys of the freshman class. But it has been a long while since then, and now, as a member of the senior class, he has grown dignified. Besides, he has a very pleasing disposition. We can't judge what vocation John has in mind but we are sure he will succeed in the undertaking. The class of '29 wishes to take this opportunity to wish John good luck. 17 E..-

June Bug - - 1929 'ge A A -of ROBERT AMTHOL BARTHEL Go forth under the open skies, and list to Nature's teachings. HERE is Bob , who is known to almost everyone as our tennis star-and an able- bodied one at that. We suppose his accurate placing of balls comes from his profound knowl- edge of finding unknown quantities so aptly shown in his math classes. While this is the truth, it is not the w'hole truth, for Bob is an all around outdoor man. He not only enters into all outdoor games, but also likes to sleep out in the open with only a sky for a roof and the earth for a bed. Probably this explains his cheerful disposition and smiling countenance. DOROTHY CARSON BEITLER Lovely thou art, ay lovely In spirit and in form A Sunbeam glancing o'er life's tears: A rainbow thru the storm. CLEAR the way!-here comes Beitler, alias Dizz. As she nonchalantly strolls down the corridor, humming snatches of popular tunes. we are impressed with her charming manner- but to see her attempting to drive Cand howlj fills us with fear. In future years we shall not be surprised to open a magazine and see the charming face of our former schoolmate smiling radiantly at us-either as an advertisement for Pepsodent toothpaste or Maybelline. May you amble along life's path as carefree and happy as you saunter thru the corridors of Catonsville. MARGARET MAUDE BEST Learning by study must be won: 'Twas ne'er entaxl'd from son to son. ALTHOUGH the senior class can boast no actual set of twins, Margaret is one of the team of Heinmuller and Best which strives to make up for the deficiency. Efliciency is one of Mar- garet's chief characteristics, as may easily be seen by her work as editor of The Catonian. and by the marks which she attains in her subjects. Margaret has helped more than one struggling student out of a hole with her customary kind- liness. She is faithful to her many friends and loyal to our school and all of its activities. 431615--

June Bug - - 1929 we A e sex LOUIS CUNNINGHAM BYERS But, he, while his companions slept. Was toiling upwards in the night. LOUIE , as he is called by his classmates, is one of those quiet Seniors, reserved and unassuming at all times. Yet he can be as careless and carefree as anybody else. If a gay party is in progress, Louie can be found in some obscure corner, saying nothing unless spoken to, but taking in everything and grinning from ear to ear. To be sure, that physical and mental energy which so many use up on idle gossip. Louie uses elsewhere, for he is not only one of the indispensable athletes, holding positions on the basketball, soccer. and speedball teams, but also a real student whose work doesn't suffer be- cause he enters into all activities. In Louie we see the truth of the old adage. Still waters run deep. ROBERT MARSHALL CARNEY True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun. BOB has by his winning personality gained a host of friends among his classmates. One may judge that he has also won the affection of some particular individual Cwhose identity. however. remains unknownj, for there is a rumor abroad that Bob's class ring has gone the way of all self-respecting masculine rings- we wonder where? Robert has a peculiar little habit of slumbering peacefully during lessons: yet, although one never sees him carrying books. he always manages to get by in his classes. He is the capable president of his year. a cheer leader of no mean ability, and a very successful mem- ber of the track team. GERTRUDE STELLA CHANEY You come late, yet you comei' n GERTRUDE is our ten o'clock scholar. After the absentee list has been made out and Gerty has been duly recorded thereon, in she walks, giggling as only she knows how. There's no doubt about it-she is just the cheeriest person it has been our pleasure to know. Who has seen her but that she was smiling. and looking only for the bright and interesting side of every- thing? Naturally she is one of the most popu- lar girls in the fourth year. and we wish her all the success in the world in all her' enterprises. +ef181a+--
