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...

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+--

V June Bug -:- 1929 --bo' BLANCHE AMELIA CRISMER Much might be said on both sides A FEW minutes interview with Blanche will convince you that she is evidently headed for a lawyer's position. for her love of argu- ment is an outstanding feature. Though she is inclined to debate a little. yet she is always ready to put this aside whenever there is any game going on. Her fondness for sports seems to take up a great deal of her time, for she may usually be found in the gym participating in a game of basketball, or, else on the sidelines root- ing for Catonsville at one of its big games. ALBERT MORRIS DEUTSCH His conduct still right with his argument wrong DUTCHY, one of the best liked fellows in school. is noted for his never ceasing argu- ments and his inexhaustible supply of mirth. Lately a rumor found its way about the school that he had inherited the qualities which made Burke a famous debator. Dutchy's pleasing dis- position has won him a place in the hearts of his classmates. as is evidenced by the fact that he was elected president of IVA, his homeroom class, We do not know what Albert expects to do after he leaves school, but we are sure that he will succeed in his undertakings and we wish him the best of luck. DOROTHY ESTELLE DIETSCH She adorns all that she touches DOROTHY is a firm believer in the motto Be Prepared! Therefore she has a queer little habit of being armed with numerous excellent excuses. just in case they should be needed- which. to be sure, is most laudable. Dorothy has several other odd little habits: such as, arriv- ing on time in the morning, preserving an un- constrained countenance in the face of a domes- tic science test. catching a straf hairpin at pre- cisely the critical moment, and laughing at her- self as well as others. Truly, Dorothy's odd little habits, coupled with her gentle disposi- tion. have won her many friends and will con- tinue to do so during this life, which is in it- self nothing but an odd little habit prolonged. -motif-
