IONE DOROTHY BECKER CBeckyD A. A., A. L., Honor League, Glee Club, French Club. 'ASo brimfzll of this merry, vigorous life. Ione is a girl who is always smiling, with a ready hello for everyone she meets. More- over, we all envy her because of her stunning black hair, which makes her look like a feminine Valentino. FLORENCE CHRISTY BEIDLER A. A., A. L., Honor League, Home Economics Club. Patient to perform. Florence is sweet and modest and true to her convictions. Her ideals and principles are of the highest type and have helped to lead many of her friends into happier and straighter paths. She is truly a friend worth having. MILLICENT E. BENDER CMlllJ A. A., A. L., Honor League, French Club, Latin Club. Measured in inches sh.e's not very tall, B ut in good friendship she comes up to them all. Millicent is as attractive and unusual as her name. Her charming manners have endeared her to us all. Then, too, we envy her for her apparently unlimited supply of sweaters. That is, hers 4 and her sister's. ARTHUR L. BENJAMIN CBennyD A. A., A. L., Hughes Club, Old Hughes Staff, Annual Staff, Sages, Swimming Team, Baseball Team, Cheerleader, H Club. I have more understanding than all my teachers. Benny is our hustling cheerleader. When it comes to extracting noise from the vulgar, he can't be beat. Just think of the times you've yelled yourself hoarse, with Benny out in front. Besides his efforts in this capacity, he has been a valuable member of the swimming team. Unfortunately, his ear became infected this year and he was unable to compete in all meets. We certainly wish him better luck for the future. BESSIE LOIS BERGER tBess, Bethyb A. A., A. L., Honor League. Be glad and your friends are many. Bessie's friends must be many, judging from the shower of books that greets her whenever she gets a seat on the car. Where do they all come from? You'll have to ask her that, but our guess is that their owners are attracted as much by her charming personality as the oppor- tunity of getting rid of those precious articles which must not be taken from the schoolroom wit.hout the consent of the teacher. 77

ALTA M. BACKER A. A., A. L., Honor League, Glee Club, Commercial Club. A quiet tongue shows a wise head. To those who merely know Alta she may seem a bit quiet and reserved, but her many friends will tell you what a jolly companion she 1s. WILSON BALDWIN CBaldyb A. A., A. L., Latin Club, Basketball Team, Annual Staff. From a little spark may breeze a mighty flame. His size, or rather lack of it, is not at all in keeping with Wilson's place in our opinions. Does anyone ask why he holds this place? Perhaps it is his sincerity, or maybe his lively interest. Does anyone say his blush? Baldy made his place on the basketball squad this year and, needless to say, is a player of real ability - what if he did look cute in uniform? RICHARD W. W. BARDES CDz'ckJ A. A., A. L., Annual Staff, Football Team, Manager of Basketball Team, H Club. Chew it after every meal. Everyone knows Dick, the anchor of the Hughes line. His hefty build, coupled with his everlasting grit, has made him the very substance of the team. He is an authority on jokes, old and new, and has a large collection of volumes on laughter-provoking subjects. RUTH LOUISE BARE LRufus'J A. A., A. L., Honor League, Spanish Club, Commercial Club. How poor are they which have not patience! If we should count the value of patience in dollars, Ruth would rank with the Rockefellers, for this is one of her many virtues. She has crept into all our hearts and, once we have gained her for a friend, we are loath to let her escape. ALMA BAUER CSkeetsJ A. A., A. L., Glee Club. Let music swell the breeze. Just imagine Hughes without Alma! She is indispensable in the girls' gym at noon when we want real jazz. Indeed, her musical ability is quite remarkable and she may well sing. as she plays, Who'll take my place? 21

EDWARD BERCER CEddie, Babel A. A., A. L., Hughes Club. Much study is a weariness of the flesh. Eddie has perfected that much desired sys- tem of dividing his time between work and play. Although he is seldom seen to bend over many books, he is there with the goods in the class- room. We wish we knew the secret of his get-knowledge-quick system. FREDRIKS D. BERGER A. A., A. L., Old Hughes Staff, Sages, Editor of Annual A master in all things. From our position in the valley below, we have often admired Fredriks' name at the tipmost, topmost peak of the Honor Roll. On closer acquaintance, however, we have conceived even more admiration for his sincere and loyal disposition, his boyish frankness, en- viable sense of humor, and capacity for hard, sometimes unpleasant, work, to say nothing of the inimitable way in which he plays a French harp or tells us all to get us a nunneryf' JACK M. BERGOLD tJake, Berryj A. A., A. L., Annual Staff. Manners most adorn knowledge and smooth its 'way through the world. We have always found Jack sincere and cour- teous, a good student and a real gentleman. Without Hurry or bravado, he has easily accom- plished his duties as an Associate Editor of the Annual, and will, we are sure, carry this same faculty for serious work into the more signihcant jobs of life. TOM BERNARD tB'unng, M uttj A. A., A. L., Sages, French Club, Old Hughes Staff, Annual Staff, Football Squad. With thee conversing, I forget all time. We might mention Tom's work on the foot- ball field, his numerous contributions to Old Hughes, and his literary efforts for the Sages, or his clever cartoons and amusing retorts in word fencing. But the result would be phrases alone and not Tom. We shall remember him best, however, with his head cocked a triHe to one side, flashing that little half-quizzical side- long glance, accompanied by a smile which has Eaused a flutter in more than one feminine eart. MARGARET C. BERNET tMargl A. A., A. L., Honor League, French Club. A modest woman is always amiable. Margaret is a dark-haired little girl to whom we are greatly attracted, first by her appear- ance, then by her personality. She is rather reserved, but when we know her better, we are charmed by the naive wit that lurks behind those friendly eyes. We hear that she is also a charming dancer. 23
