LUELLA PAULSON Sor Polly attained the most honored position in the class as Valedictorian. But don’t think for one moment that Polly is a book worm or a boring “grind”. She has been prominent and very popular in all school activities. She is a good-natured girl and always ready for fun. Shall we ever forget her giggles in Latin class? Valedictorian; Pro Merito; Girls’ Glee Club ’28, ’29, ’31; Latin Club ’28, ’29, ’30; Class- ring’ Committee; Basketball, ’29; News Editor, Copy-reader, Manager, Associate Kditor, “Green Parrot”; “Margot’’, Class Play; Honor- ary Member, New Century Club; Educational Committee 31; Refreshment Committee, Senior Reception; Associate Editor, Ye Yeare Booke; Collector, Athletic Association. GILDA PELLEGRINI “Oh, my eyel” Trust Gil to become terribly excited in any heated discussion. She is one of our most ardent lovers of music and confesses a weak- ness for the waltz and the breath-taking opera. Without doubt, Gil is the most temperamental girl in the class. Candy Committee, Class Play; Copy-read- er, Humor Editor, “Green Parrot”; Dramatic Club ’28; Decorating Committee, Reception; Girls’ Glee Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Pro Merito. FRANCES PERRY “Won't that be corker, huh?” A pretty girl, to describe whom requires many, many adjectives—lively, witty, ambi- tious—we could go on forever if space did not forbid. Suffice it to say that Fran is our con- ception of the ideal school girl.

ARGON: PEPER “Sure, that’s it.” . Arlon reminds us of atoms we study about in physics. They’re with us, but we don’t know it. He is as secretive about his private doings as Greta Garbo is about hers. He is a hard worker. We have heard that almost all great men have been silent workers during their youth. Ticket Committee, Class Play. MAXWELL ROBERTS “Oh well, what are you going to do about it?” Many a girl has secretly yearned for one of Maxie’s curls. “Why do boys get the best tresses anyway?” they say. But Maxie just passes by this ancient question with a bored smile, for Maxie is a serious fellow. Advertising and Program Committees, Class Play; Usher, Senior Reception. [16 ]

FRANCES MOSCZYNSKI “Say!” Don’t be surprised if you see an assorted group of tall, short, bold, bashful girls huddled in a corner. They are all Fritzi’s friends, lis- tening to everything she has to say. Fritzi is democratic and natural—that is why she has so many friends. Candy Committee, Class Play; Advertising Committee, Senior Reception; Debating and Publicity Club ’28. WINIFRED NICKERSON “Now Listen!” A good worker—alert—calm—agreeable. Initials spell WIN. Wonder where she hides her frowns—totally independent of anyone—a great girl with two feet firmly planted on the royal road to success. Usher, Class Play; Debating Club ’28; Dramatic Club ’28; Public Speaking Club ’28; Girls’ Glee Club ’29. LAURA PALLADINO “Fla, ha, that’s a good one!” Wherever Laura is, you may be sure to find an abundance of entertainment and fun. One! witty saying follows another in quick suc- cession, and no one is ever bored in her pres- ence. She is one of the most sociable and one of the best natured girls in the class. Candy Committee, Class Play; High School Orchestra; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31. ALLEN PALMER “T don't believe it.” Wampie is the only really blonde member of our “stronger sex”. He is neither loqua- cious nor mischievous—just a real fellow who can refresh us during tedious class hours by his quiet humor. Orchestra Committee, Class Play; Pro Mer- ito; Boys’ Glee Club; High School Orchestra; Baseball ’30; Football ’31; Baseball ’31. VIRGINIA PALTZ “That's great!” “Tt is nice to be natural when you’re nat- urally nice.” How well this applies to calm gray-eyed Virginia. She is the kind of girl who makes a true and life-long friend. Orchestra Committee, Class Play; Copy- reader, “Green Parrot”; Humor, Ye Yeare Booke. as |

WILLIAM ROTELLA “T don’t believe you.’ Billy evidently believes that men should have the same rights as women in so far as changing the mind gozs. He certainly does exercise this right as far as vocations are con- cerned. He decides on a different one every day of the week. Curtain, Class Play; Baseball Manager ’31; Chairman, Class Gift Committee ’31; Debating Club ’28; Athletic Committee ’31; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception. IRIS SIMEONI “Oh G’wan.” “Where do we go from here, girls?” That’s Iris; she is always prepared for more activity and excitement. Her motto, to which she dili- gently adheres, is “Life is not life at all with- out delight’’. Dramatic Club ’28, ’29, ’30; Typist, Copy- reader, “Green Parrot’; Pro Merito; Usher, Class Play; Decorating Committee, “Green Parrot” Party. LAURAENTHIA SLOAN “No kiddin’ !” Calm, blonde Lauraenthia has three fine qualities—ambition, individuality, and. an 2S nature. What a combination of vir- tues! Vice-President ’28; Secretary ’29; Secre- tary-Treasurer 730; Mctto Committee; Class- ring Committee; Head Typist, “Green Parrot”; Usher, Senior Reception; A. A. Collector 7830, 731; Committee, “Green Parrot” Party; Adver- tising, Ye Yeare Booke. EOUISE SOLDANI “Hey, listen.” Nothing under the sun can erase Louise’s smile. She has teeth that would make a Hawaiia n green with envy. Louise could talk steadily for hours without our being aware of the time. Reason? She’s interesting. Dramatic Club ’28; Glee Club ’29, ’30; Typist, “Green Parrot”; Decorating Committee, Senior Reception; Candy Committee, Class Play. MARY SOUZA “T could have died laughing.” If giggling were a crime, Tiny would sure- ly be a master criminal. With her around, the hours seem like minutes. Mary is an excellent seamstress.
