GEORGE H. BRIGGS Briggsie Properties and Checking Committees, Re- ception ‘29; Properties Committee, Class Play 29; Science Club ’29; Boys’ Glee Club ’30; Football Letter ’29. We do not know whether Briggsie is very fond of every subject, but we do know that he likes “French” very much. He ought to make good in the profession of undertaker; he is getting plenty of experience. FANNIE BRIGHAM Fannie Usher, Class Play ’29; Vice-President, A. A., Rm. 6, 780; Glee Club’ 29; Ticket Committee, Reception ’29; Pro Merito. Fannie is one of the smallest members of our class, but we know, that “good things come in small packages.” Fannie’s sweet personality has been a source of pleasure to us all. Fan- nie always has a sunny smile for everyone. MARGARET E. CALLAHAN Maggie Ticket Committee, Reception ’29; Ticket Committee, Class Play ’29; Pro Merito. Everybody who knows Maggie knows that she never neglects her work. This does not mean that Maggie never plays, however, be- cause she plays at the proper time. We know that Maggie will be successful. LODOVICO CETTOMAI Vico Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Green Parrot 729; Science Club ’29; Usher, Reception ’29; Ting, Class Play ’29; Debating Club ’28. We are certain that Vico will make a good bell-hop. How effectively he handled the com- plex situation at the Halycon House! We hope that in the future he will save enough money to supply the ‘“‘flivver” with gas to get “her” home from the games. JOSEPH CHIPPOLA Chip Football Letter ’28, ’29; Ticket Committee, Reception ’29; Ticket Committee, Class Play 29; Sporting Editor, The Trail. Taxi! Taxi! Rush me to that train! If Chip puts as much energy into the taxi busi- ness as he has put into football and learning the general rule for journalizing, he will be successful. [19 ]

DOROTHY M. ALDERSON Dot Domest'c Science Club ’29; Candy Commit- tee, Class Play ’29; Ticket Committee, Recep- tion ’29; Pro Merito. “Oh, Mamma!” Who, who is that? It’s Dot, of course. If blushes aren’t becoming, Dot surely is an exception to the rule. Al- though, to all outward appearances, she is a everyone knows she is always ready for fun, GERTRUDE AUSTIN Trudie Class Secretary ’29, ’30; Class Basketball Numerals ’380; Usher, Reception ’29; Science Club ’29; Latin Club ’28, ’29; Basketball Letter 29, 730; Chairman of Properties Committee, Class Play ’29; Secretarv, A. A., Rm. 6, ’30; Pro Merito. When you looked at this picture, didn’t you say to yourself, “I’ll bet she can play basket- ball”? Well, you are right, she can! Although Trudie spends much t:me studying French, she manages to find time to go out for athletics. MARTHA L. BELL Bellie Glee Club ’28, ’29; Ticket Committee, Class Play ’29; Advertising Committee, The Trail; Ticket Committee, Reception ’29; Cheerleader 28, °29, ’30; President, A. A., Rm. 6, ’30. What is that crowd doing in the corner? Bellie is tell.ng another joke. Bellie is one of the happiest girls of our class. When we see her swaggering down the hall, trying to sup- press an ever-present giggle, we look around to see what new trick Bellie has been trying on some unfortunate victim. Can she chew gum? Just ask Mrs. Olsen. We shall never forget the voice that led our cheering section at the games. MILDRED BENNETT Milly Class Secretary ’28; Ticket Committee, Re- ception ’29; Pro Merito; Candy Committee, Class Play ’29; Domestic Science Club ’28; Statistics, The Trail. At three minutes of eight every morning, one may see Milly waiting at the South Com- mon for the red light to change to green. She is a jolly, sociable girl, always ready to help anyone who is in need. We believe her motto is “lend a helping hand—smile.” We find her always ready to laugh at a good joke. Some- times Milly finds it rather hard to keep from giggling during her classes. RUTH S. BLISS Blisters Basketball Letter ’30; Class Basketball Numerals ’29, ’30; Decorating Committee, Re- ception ’29; Prompter, Class Play ’29; Typist, Green Parrot ’30; Pro Merito; Domestic Science Club ’29; Suzzette, Class Play ’29; Statistics, The Trail ’30; Bookkeeping—Gold Piece ’29, 23 Oe nds Eine: “Her Little Tongue is never still; talk it must and talk it will.” Whenever we hear that laugh of Blister’s, we know there is a good time coming, because Blisters is always full of “pep.” She seldom goes to her classes with her lessons unprepared. She is fond of athletics and is always ready for a game of tennis or basketball. [18 }

LOUISE K. CREEDON Kid Glee Club ’28, ’29; Basketball Letter, 730; Class Basketball Numerals ’29, ’30; Usher, Re- ception ’29; Candy Committee, Reception ’29. Everybody is acquainted with Kid, espe- cially those of the opposite sex. All who went out for basketball practice will never forget Kid’s tackle. After watching her play in the games, we thought she would make a good football player. Kid is one of our star guards. KATHERINE G. ERVING Kat Vice-President ’30; Class Basketball Num- erals ’29, 30; Glee Club ’28; Senior Class Re- Porter, Green Parrot; Athletic Reporter, The Trail; Properties Committee, Class Play ’29; Basketball Letters ’29—Captain ’30; Exchange Editor, Green Parrot ’29; Girls’ Athletics Re- porter, Green Parrot ’30; Chairman Refresh- ment Committee, Reception ’29. What is that funny noise? Why of course, that’s Kat laughing at some new joke of Bel- lie’s, She has a special liking for dogs and is almost as fond of basketball as of canines. When you hear a noise and excitement, it gen- erally means that Kat is around. JOHN E. FARIA Johnny Glee Club ’28; Decorating Committee, Re- ception ’29; Properties Committee, Class Play 29; Stage Lights, Class Play. Johnny is admired by the under-class girls. He is experienced both in repairing racers and in conjugating Latin verbs. His droll wit, in- finite courtesies, and his boundless optimism makes him very likable. Watch for news of him from B. C. HAROLD B. FORBES Forbsy William Winkler, Class Play ’29; Usher, Reception ’29; Glee Club ’29. Forbsy is the “Big Man from the East.” We are sure that he will make a capable car- penter as well as an excellent guardian for some poor unfortunate neice. Of course, we'll always remember the dignified Uncle Winkler and his monocle in the class play. ROBERT FREEMAN Bob Class President ’28; Orchestra ’27, ’28, ’29, 30; Speaking Contest, First Prize ’30; Single- ton Speaking Contest, First Prize ’30; Penman- ship Award ’28; Benjamin More, Class Play ’29; Business Manager and Faculty Reporter, Green Parrot ’30; Pro Merito. Bob has entered into many activities. As Benjamin More in the class play, he created a great sensation. He has played the trumpet in the orchestra for four years. Bob is an ex- cellent speaker; he won first prize this year in both the preliminaries and the Singleton Con- test. { 20 }
