lsAm5L Akoxsox 11 Hebron St. MY Bay Pallz Instilule lsabcl of the coveted wave is a very conscientious student, but she couldn't seem to master French, so she tried German, and when the German Club was formed, she promptly became a member. Music is her hobby, although she is quite as proficient at writing poetry as she is at playing the piano. R'r1.1c Arciuxsox 19 Norfolk Street Berlin Conservatory of lllzmfc .A nother evidence of the balance in nature we Find in Myrtle whose aversion to studies is more than compensated for by rare musical talent. l'er resistance to lessons has been a passive one, her disposition sweet and patient, quite at variance with the temper usually ascribed to 'ul itian Tintsf' .Already a teacher of music, Myrtle gives promise of adding a name to the list of Central's well-known musician graduates. MERLE VVEBB AVEY Covington, Kentucky Would you be disillusioned of the idea of Southern indolence and leisure, observe our energetic little Kentuckiln. Though good times occasionally interrupted Merle's academic pursuits, she entered into her work at Central with unaffected enthusiasm and genuine in- terest. Who of us would have courage to cut classes for a day at the Libe with Well's Outline of History? Merle was elually dexterous with the needle and the baseball bat, and her sportsmanls enjoyment of our New England might well make us blush at our own dull appre- ciation. Uoizoruv Rice B.xcoN 69 Maple Street Welleslegf College Dorothy has had a most successful career at Central. Although she was constantly lending her efficient help to numerous activities of the school she made a very commendable record in her studies, and was finally awarded a Magna Cum Laude pin. For two yelrs she has been an active member of Pierides and of the French Club. She distinguished herself as a member of the latter by winning the l.'Alliance Francaise medal. Dorothy was a worker in her class: she was on the play com- mittee, the candy committee, the picture committee, and the ticket committee. Roisizkm Axxmrric BARRON 27 Forest Park Avenue Wellesley College just to look at Bobbie, one would know she loved to eat. Her favorite haunt was the Gym office where she shared her lunch with a group of friends. Then she would anxiously watch the dial on the scales and compare the results with the Health Chart. Roberta be- longed to Pierides and made the Basketball team. 29

illllvmhvra nf the Qllana nf 1923 RALPH DAVENPORT ADAMS 309 Central St. Junior College Ralph is that fellow with the perpetual grin and the marvelous appe- tite -- so marvelous, indeed, that it once prompted him to get outside of nine jelly doughnuts all at one time! But, epicure though he is, he is very long-winded and a remarkable athlete. In his junior year he won the Half Mile Interschool champion's medal, played soccer, and made track. He was a member of the House in his Freshman year. WINSLOW ADAMS 87 Maplewood Terrace Wesleyan University Though apparently calm, peace-loving, and quiet, Vilinslow spends much of his time with a racket. In addition to winning 3 C's Qwhich unfortunately he could not wear upon his report-cardj he served junior year as Captain and Senior year as Manager of Tennis. In spite of his high tennis scores, however, we note that VVinslow is not averse to an occasional love-game in Central's court. HFLEN TAYNTON ALLIs 43 Virginia St. Simmons College VVe are glad that Helen told us that her hobby is talking, for we could never have guessed it. However, Helen's actions speak louder than words, as many a one will testify who has had her sympathetic help. She was in the Glee Club and took part in a gym meet her junior year. MII.DRED ANDREWS 193 Oak Grove Ave. A most essential molecule of the Chemistry group is Mildred -- a carbohydrate molecule of solidihed sunshine, which she yields freely whenever in Contact with even the most acrid of human molecules. Energetic, pleasant and the pacifier of the infant freshies whom she has so ably ushered to the mysterious realms of lockers upon their semi-annual arrival. Mildred's hobby is reading, but we fear it suffers from the many demands made upon her unusual efficiency, her good judgment, and her willingness to forget herself in helping others. DAVID J. ARoNsoN 97 Bancroft St. University of Pennsylvania David will always be remembered by those teachers who had him in English, because he always was so feverish in his anxiety to recite, whether he knew the correct answer or not. David took part in a Thanksgiving Assembly. During his Senior year he played on the Football team, and evidently became very fond of that sport, for he states that his hobby is football. As a Senior he took anjactive part in debates of the Senate. Q Q 28 , r lr fi fl ff X' .I K ,J X 1 af', 56' ,fy ,ig f .2 1 , . t gp.,-. 1' ..' ,V nf, .:.

WILLIAM CARR BELDING, JR. 135 Westminster Street Wharton School of Finance VVhen Bill first entered Central he was terribly shy and would go miles out of his way to avoid meeting one of the fair sex. Perhaps his appear- ance before the public in the Christmas play made him less shy. VVhat- ever be the cause, great changes have been wrought in him, for now Bill boldly declares that his hobby is Uteasin' girls. He is such a jolly good sport, however, that everyone simply has to like him. RosE BLACK 1657 North Street Moilnt Holyoke College Rose is certain to find a lot of enjoyment in life, for she has for her hobby -people. She made an efficient Vice-President of the German Club and the services which she rendered to the business staff of the Blue and White were very valuable. VV hen you want ideas, go to Rose - she always has very decided opinions. Her friends often marvel at her loquaciousness in certain moods. CxR1L STANLEY BLOMFIELD 156 Buckingham Street Williams College In Ancient History this young gentleman used to offer the most original interpretations and answers. VVe have often wondered if the old saying HNecessity is the Mother of Invention was applicable in his case. Cyril made the varsity track team, the Senate, and, as he suggests most emphatically, the Honor Roll once in a while. JEANETTE T. BRADLEY 43 Oxford Street Wellesley College VVe are certainly glad we didn't have to foot the bills for the numerous pairs of shoes Jeanette wore out trotting about Central: she was always on the go. She possessed a certain hypnotic power which was in- valuable to her as Treasurer of Pierides, and Room Agent for the Recorder and the Blue and VVhite, for it seemed to force people to empty their pocket-books-with a smile, too. She was on the SB and also on the 3A dance committee, and her ingenuity helped make the G.A.A. tea room a success. Jeanette played basketball in her Fresh- man year and hockey and soccer as a Senior. ROBERT JAMES BRICE, JR. 104 Spring Street Mass. Institute of Technology Bobbie was a little boy until he donned long trousersg then he became a man! No more can one mistake him for a child prodigy wandering about the halls of Central. His splendid physique and glowing com- plexion speak for his love for athletics. His hobby Che saysj is swim- ming. He was a member of the Glee Club in his Junior year and in his Senior year he served on the Dance Committee. 30
