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

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

DENA ELIZABETH BESUDEN A. L., Honor League, Latin Club. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Dena's friendly smile betrays her sunny dis- position. She seems to enjoy a hearty laugh more than anything in the world. Her desire to study nursing and her industry show us her serious side. We are sure that she will find true pleasure in her chosen career. BERTHA C. BISCHOFF tBertJ A. A., A. L., Honor League, Secretary of Spanish Club, Commercial Club. Her eyes as blue as skies, her hair Is countless gold zrlcompa.rable. It seems that nearly all lovely ladies have golden hair and blue eyes, and Bertha is no ex- ception. She is a most ardent worker and, as a result, she has accomplished wonders. The Spanish Club will lose a good secretary when she graduates. GEORGE BLERSCH tYatzj A. L., Commercial Club, Salesmanship Club. He's little, but there's a lot to h'im.', Although George is one of the smallest in our class, his size is not a handicap to him. In spite of his diminutive stature, he shines in gym. He attacks all the work assigned to him in a cheerful manner and we hope that he will keep his books as well in after life as he does now. EVA BLOOM tBabsJ A. A., A. L., Honor League, French Club. He even blessed her with a cheerful dispositfiorz. Eva is a jolly companion who is always joking and laughing. She is ever full of fun, for noth- ing seems to daunt her good nature. We like her for her cheerful disposition which we hope will remain with her through life. FLORENCE A. BOEKLEY fSI'S, Pzuichl A. L., Honor League. A good heart is U letter of credit. Florence has so many lovable qualities that it is impossible to select a few that will describe her adequately. Her friendly spirit will surely brighten all the shadows of her life, which we hope will be a happy one. 24
