Have you ever gone to one of the girls' basketball games and seen an important young man sitting near the timekeeper? lf you have, you no doubt know Bart Benson, the rising young reporter of our class. Besides writing for the papers Bart A has a great hobby for drawing: he served as Board Representative for the Art Club. In athletics Bart really shines on the mat.

Yes, Kat's voice has been the despair of the majority of the F. H. S. faculty. They've begged, entreated and commanded her to talk louder, for they would need the loan of the ears of all theclass to get any inkling of the import of Kat's murmurous recitations.

Just one little linen? HKIUYY JOHN POWELL BAILEY AQADIMIC 4316 ROOSEVELT BOULEVARD This youth entered our class in the B term from the W'est Philadelphia High School. Being gifted with athletic ability, he quickly earned a place on the Cross-Country Team and was a promising candidate for the Swimming Team. His profile is a living counterpart of that of Mr. Dick Dare, the hero of the Minute Movies. During his stay here, he has played on the Interseitional Fcotball and Baseball Teams, and has earned a right to the high esteem that he holds among us. He is a good sport and an all-around good fellow. Hey! Come nj. Page Fourteen Gertie My Hero E FLORENCE GERTRUDE BAKER COMMERCIAL 1830 PEAR SRTEET They that know thy name, will put their trust in thee. Happy, light-hearted, dependable, such a person is Gertie. Who could help loving her blue eyes, and light curly hair? She has a taste for arranging pretty things, and came early every morning in B to arrange the flowers for the corridors. Bunsie's hobby is being happy. When lessons are the most pressing they fail to daunt her, and yet she does well in her studies. Gert is forever getting into mischief, but her sense of humor helps her over many a rough spot. A wonderful combination indeed! Gertie's ambition is to be a kindergarten teacher. Her love for children gained for her the representation of the class at the Christmas Charity Party in B, D and F. Gertie's sunny disposition ought certainly to attract someone before she has been a teacher very long.

She disguises herself in a cloak You surely have noticed that tall, dark-haired girl with the regal tilt of her head walking down the hall. However, that is ' merely a disguise for the real Billy , who loves waltzing, shuff- ling, and any other kind of modern dancing-with a good partner. There is also the side of Bill which loves a good stiff fight in Basketball, where the forward position is honored. She can hardly contain herself when she is on the sidelines during an exciting game, and is anything but stately and dignified. Billy is also a very good actress. She had taken part in Dramatic Club Plays and in Student Assemblies. Billy is undecided whether to be an artist, interior decorator, actress, or gym teacher. It matters not which one she chooses, she will be assured of success. Board Member, Ag A. A.

It's a jolly bad shame that graduation has to halt Birkie's training in cross-Country sprints from the H. T. and F. carline over the hills to the school-house. She has broken all records established by fellow cohorts from that distant climeg she'll be entering the Olympics yet-see if she doesn't. Nora's up and doing in everything, to put it briefly-mischief, social activi- ties, scholarship-with plenty of pep and dash to boot. .
