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!

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.

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 ]

HOWARD ssaeeC VaR: “Well, I don’t believe it.” Saint is not what his name implies. Wher- ever he is, you’ll surely find an outbreak of that famous American disease, nerves. He employs his time in thinking up original pranks and vaudeville hits. But his presence in a room is like a light in the darkness, for he is always sure to attract attention. Boys’ Glee Club ’29, ’30, ’31; Stage Lights, Class Play; Refreshment Committee, Senior Reception. HERBERT STEARNS “Now, that’s the limit!” Here is our big, strong he-man. An ex- cellent athlete, he is noted for his determination in sports and studies. He is one of those rare persons who can combine extra curricular ac- tivities with studies, and excel in both. Senior Motto Committee ’29; Checking Committee, Class Play; Pro Merito; Baseball, 729; Baseball Manager, ’29; Checking Commit- tee, Senior Reception; Football ’29, ’80, 731; Basketball, ’31; Circulation and Advertising, Ye Yeare Booke; Ring Committee. BARBARA STONE “Oh, my cowl” Where, oh where, does Bobbie store her vitality? She seems to be everywhere at the same time. And, believe it or not, we’ve never seen her peacefully reclining in a chair even for a minute. Glee Club ’29; Usher, Class Play; Latin Club, ’29; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31; Usher, Senior Reception. RALPH STRANG “You don't say!” We'll wager that Strang is the calmest boy in the class. Ralph has won fame during his school life by his numerous sketches and caricatures. Oh, poor notebook covers when Strang is around!

GLADYS SWEET “Maybe.” Glad is the sort of girl who is content to sit by and smile at other people’s doings. She is quiet and agreeable. That’s a good combina- tion, isn tyivs Property Committee, Class Play; Nature Club ’28; Silver Thimble, Sewing ’380. [ 18 }
