General Manual Arts Instructor “Honor ts of men.” Electrical Squad 3, 4; Debating 4. ““Mike’’ seems very quiet at first, but once you talk with him, you change your opinion.

ALLEN BEALS Classical Business “What delight a quiet life affords.’ Al is one of those carefree, happy-go- lucky gents who worry about today and let tomorrow worry about itself.

HENDRINA BEEKMAN “Renee” General C Nurse Training — Brooklyn Hosp. “Zealous yet modest.” Field Day 3; Cloakroom Patrol 3; Christmas Deco- ration Committee 4; Banking Committee 2. “Smiles” ought to be Hendrina’s nick- name.

ANTHONY BELSER “Tony” Scientific Princeton “Exhausting thought—study.”’ Banded morass lsrack SqWadadwor Tony is so quiet and so small that you can hardly tell when he is around. ‘The teachers say that with his brains and a lit- tle more will-power Tony could really do great things. We wish you luck, Tony. [ 26 ]
