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+--

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 we- A - - A -- 1929 BESSIE LEAH CI-IODAK A jest's prosperity. lies in the ear , Of him that hears rt, never in the tongue Of him that makes it. BESSIE is our small, demure, blond friend who is very fond of staying at home on test days. But this does not hurt her marks any. for, when she comes back. she is always able to pass above the average grade. She is a jolly. good-natured lass and able to stand teasing when it is thrust upon her, as well as to pass some along herself. Consequently. her amiable dis- position may no doubt be counted upon as a great help to her success both in and out of school. LAURA ADALINE CHRISTILF A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world. BEHOLD! Christie the athletic, the beauti- ful. the light-hearted. To be sure she has every reason to be light-hearted, for no one in the class can claim so musical a name as her Sweet Adaline , nor so contagious a laugh which is so Well known in her history class. Besides. she is one of the few who, in spite of all her outside interests. are always prepared with their lessons. Her position as captain on the field ball team is sufficient proof of her popu- larity and athletic ability. Furthermore, her general smile and genuine good nature have made for her a host of friends. Accept our best wishes, Chris. MARGARET JANE COKER Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, But genius must be born and never can be taught. WELR might the ancient bards envy Jane- the imaginative Jane who sees only the beau- tiful things in life and who is happy only when she is engaged in imparting their loveliness to others. Jane's happiness, expressed either in a bit of delightful song or poetry, is a worthwhile happiness, for it enables others to share her elu- sive views. However, there is a practical side to her. as well as a dreamy one, for you may be sure that she can apply herself to the common- place in a very reliable manner. Jane is our candidate to that realm of genius-The Hall of Fame. 19 33...
