Hall nf Ellamv MILDRED MCGOWAN The class can be proud of Mildred McGowan, its most popular member. To write her history is to write the progress of the Co-operative Course in Textile High School. Mildred is the originator of the Oral English Club, which promoted public speaking. As she is an active member of the service squad, she has been elected second lieutenant. Mildred was president of her class in the third term, and vice- president in her seventh term. Her tact and spirit make her a very delightful Cor- responding Secretary of the General Organization. She is a member of the Boost- er Club and of the Co-operative Comrades. Her journalistic skill has made her a member of the Loom Staff. Mildred was the second highest honor student in her seventh term. Her reliability puts her first in the hearts of her fellow students. The students elected her G. O. Representative this term and have unanimously chosen her secretary of the Co-operative Social Club. She is well known for her keen sense of humor. If you hear a group of students exercising their vocal chords you may be sure that Mildred is among them. A real leader in time of stress is always respected. For this reason Mildred has been chosen Fire Marshall in in- numerable rooms. Every one respects a promoter. If there is an activity that must be started, you may be sure that the students of Twenty-eighth Street will call upon her to preside. lrVhen Mildred leaves, the student body will feel the loss of a faithful, reliable, and conscientious student. Her place will be hard to fill. MARY CAROLAN The name of Mary Carolan is indeed a familiar one at Twenty-eighth Street. Mary has been in Textile High School since her third term and has always been a prominent figure in the eyes of her fellow students. She has been class president three terms, vice-president once, secretary once, and G. O. representative once. This term she was the victorious candidate for Corresponding Secretary of the G. O. Mary was selected by her class as their representative on the Loom Staff. She is a member of various clubs, secretary of the Newman club, vice-president of the Co-operative Social club and an active member of the Lilac and Booster clubs. Mary also holds an important position on the Service Squad. She has been on the squad four terlns. This term she is second lieutenant. Through strenuous efforts, she organized the Co-operative Social club which proved to be an unusual success. She is the Textilian Reporter for the Twenty-eighth Street building. She is fam- ous for her very efficient social gatherings among the students. Mary never fails to gee that agood time is had by all. Mary is a model Textilite for she not only upholds the name of Textile in school but also at work. R. H. Macy regards her as a valuable asset and she is just as popular there as in school. The Twenty-eighth Street Annex is losing a very good student when Mary Carolan says l1cr farewell to dear old Textile. D W mml m! .lHMIll MHm LX l58l

fin-1mn1x -363 Qgg Mall nf Zliarnw JOCELYN OSYVALD It would be almost impossible to find a girl who deserves more to be put into tl1e Hall of Fame than docs Jocelyn Oswald. One cannot utter the words, schol- arship, service, or character, without immediately thinking of Jocelyn. She is a girl whose sweetness of disposition and willingness to help is well known through- out the entire school. Every teacher and girl in Textile knows that Jocelyn is a girl who can be depended upon to perform any service she is asked to do, and to do it well. Her exceedingly high standard of scholarship helps her greatly in becoming a celebrity in the F ortieth Street Building. Jocelyn is the best student in every subject which she takes. Her extraordinarily high marks resulted in her winning the Roosevelt Medal, which, as you all know, is awarded only to the best students. Jocelyn Oswald has many services as well as a high standard of scholarship. She is the Textilian Editor for the Fortieth Street Annex, which is no easy task. She has to collect activities for tl1e Textilian from the students, and that is cer- tainly an assignment which requires a great deal of perseverance. Of course, she herself also has to write for our paper. Jocelyn is also on the Loom Staff, a po- sition for whicl1 a great deal of wit and tact is necessary. She is a member of the Lilac Club. Last but not least, she is the most beloved member of her class, and that in itself is an achievement which is sufhcient to make her worthy of being put into the Hall of Fame. SILVIO MOLLO In his short stay in Textile he managed to make himself a popular fellow. He was full of the Textile spirit, and a fellow that was picked as a leader in many activities in Textile. He tried hard to make the name of l1is school Hy in glory and was successful, for whenever he undertook something he finished it. One of his mottos was Textile First. , When he came to Textile he started to organize a Press Club. This club was organized for the purpose of giving all the Textile news to the city newspapers, so that the name of Textile would be spread. He later became President of this club and held this office until he was graduated. He was the sports writer for the Tex- tilian, Presidentof the Office and Service squads for two terms, and also President of the Newman club for a term. In his senior year he was elected as the Senior Class President and also was the business manager of the football team. In ad- dition to these he was a member of some of the minor clubs. From the above list of activities it is evident that Silvio Mello has fully earned his place in the Hall of Fame. LIIIUIIHHHMUIUIIIIIUHIINIUIUBIIHHNMIINHHHXMUIUTHHHWIIERU WmUW1lUUUWmmmlU E57l

N 1mmHHUml U llmMlJ Hall nf Zliamr ARTHUR WADLE R When the celebs were chosen, Artie was chosen as the Biggest Bluff. VVhen the faculty heard this they unanimously approved of the name given him for if ever there is a fellow who could bend a teacher's ears it was Artie. Tl13tJS how he earned the name, Biggest Bluff. Everybody knows Artie. He is a great fellow. He is a fine athlete, and an orator, and a scribe. It seems that there is nothing that Artie can not do well, especially when it means helping Textile. As captain of the swimming and waterpolo teams he worked to put these teams up among the leading high school contestants. He is the backbone of 'these teams and has starred in all the meets and games in which they have engaged. He was chosen Vice-President of our class and helped put over the many suc- cessful events that we had during our term. He was picked to represent Textile at the Inter-Scholastic Law League. Artie wanted to become a lawyer but changed his mind, and instead will become an op- tometrist. WVe suppose he wants to look at the world thru rose-colored glasses. He is also on the Loom Staff, Booster Squad, Service Squad, belongs to the History Law club, Menorah society, and is a G. O. representative. Here is a fellow who surely deserves to be placed in the Hall of Fame. SALLY D E GAN YVho is more fit for recognition in the Hall of Fame than our Athlete, Scholar and Regular Girl-Sally? She is making a four year course in two and one-half years. She has been an otlicer of her official class ever since her entry. She was elected as Vice-president of the Lilac Club the first meeting she attended. After being in Textile one year she was elected to the honorary society of every High School-the Arista. She became Treasurer of the Newman Club. However, this did not suit this ambitious girl and she climbed higher and became President, and was re-elected again this term as President. She is an active member of the Library Squad and is on the varsity baseball and basketball teams. In her senior year she was elected Lieu- tenant of the Service Squad. And we must not forget that she is 11ow the Coach of the 13th Street Swimming Club for girls. Wie were very proud to have her as our G. O. Comptroller and in recognition of all her services we are glad to select her as one of the member of the Hall of Fame. ffllllilllllllliilllllmllillilllllllllll lllllllllllllllll lmMlHM mMHHHmH mUHMHMmIHEmm!WlMm-ix l59l '
