LILLIE FARINELLA “Gee, isn’t that funny.” We wonder where lively, energetic Lillie got her inspiration to write “Dreamy Moon”. We’re sure her singing powers are a gift from the goddess of song. Perhaps some day we shall hear her singing “La Boheme” over the radio.

Advertising and Program Committees, Class Play. LOUISE GARAFANO “Oh, my stars!” If there is going to be a party of some sort, we know that dark-eyed Louise is giving it.

WILLIAM DiGIOVANNI “For cryin’ out loud!” Bill’s grin is so contagious that even the teachers surrender when he is on duty as an athletic collector. Bill’s special weakness is sports.

ROBERT DAVIS SOW lisees: “He reminds me of a politician.” “A butler would be more like him, I think.” “Oh, but he has the countenance of an English professor—” Chorus—‘We surrender, which will it be, Bob?” “Timson”, Class Play; Decorating Com- mittee, Senior Reception. GEORGE DePRIZIO “T understand perfectly.” George’s most striking characteristics are his sociability and brilliant witticisms. Be- cause he inspires confidence, we entrusted to him the task of guiding the destinies of the class by electing him president for the junior and senior years. He is a zealous worker; no task seems too great for him. During our high school years, he has excelled in his studies and has frequently displayed his ability as a writer and speaker.

Her quiet drawl presents a contrast to the harsh voices we hear all around us—a voice which soothes jagged nerves on busy days and is pleasant to hear on warm and lazy days.

WINNIFRED GREEN “Of all things.” A quiet young lady, with lustrous brown hair and an appealing smile—possesses all the qualities which make a good friend—a sweet demoiselle, we say. Secretary ’28; Usher, Class Play; Glee pee, 30. Pehl AIL TZ “Oh, where's that fountain pen?” iithel has unusual ability in relating all the events of a party “the morning after the night before’. Do we need to add that her audience is usually very attentive during these discourses’ However, Ethel does not always employ her time in talking, for she is very serious in her school work. Public Speaking Club ’28; Book and Scroll Club ’29; Glee Club ’30; Refreshment Commit- tee, Senior Reception; “Mrs. Forrester”, Class Play; Pro Merito. GEORGE JORDAN “Huh?” “For all is jolly and all is free”, whistles George as he goes from room to room perform- ing his various harmless pranks. A class-room without the presence of this young man is a dull room, indeed. We know Jordan’s favor- ite subject is American History, for he becomes very excited while relating any historical event. Advertising and Program Committee, Class Play; Boys’ Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Adver- tising Committee, Senior Reception. RUBY LADD OP MINCE STS A courteous and affable Ruby, who is neither very talkative nor forward—just right —always obliging us with a favor—and the best person to spend a warm afternoon with— she is pleasant. Usher, Class Play; Latin Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Girls’ Glee Club, ’29, 730. Pe or LOVELY “Don't kid yourself.” Hazel is a very energetic girl in her stud- ies. During recess periods she is always sur- rounded by a noisy group of classmates. Their password seems to be “Come one, come all, but bring your strongest vocal powers!” The prob- lem is, Who does the listening ? Chairman, Candy Committee, Class Play; Girls’ Glee Club ’29, 780; Decorating Comumit- tee, Senior Reception. eis) |
