During her four years in High School, Laura has proved her- self to be one of the best sup- porters of the Class and always willing to do her part, as the above list shows. She is inter- ested in all athletics, especially in Basketball. Laura won the Latin Honor. Smith College is her destination and it indeed, will be lucky to get Laura. Commercial Course Fire Team '23. Kenneth's chief hobby is to argue with somebody in Law class. When Kenneth started to debate, the rest of the Class could rest assured that there would be no more reciting for them that period. We wonder why Kenneth blushes so when a certain girl's name is men- tioned? English Course, Glee Club 4 years, Glee Club Play. Elizabeth is a sweet' 'little maid who always has a pleasant smile for everyone. She would rather draw than study. Not saying that she can't do it either, for her drawings are the envy of all the other students. Eliza- beth intends to become a teacher of this art. French Scientific Course: Or- chestra 5 yearsg Baseball 2 years. Benjamin has played in the orchestra for five years. At first we thought that he intended to become the leader of a great orchestra, but now he tells us that he intends to become a Chiropractor. We are glad that one of our class is intending to enter this field.

Ruth has the bearing of a queen, and her stateliness has added dignity to the Class of '23. She is a born leader, and no one has ever been known to refuse her slightest request. Ruth's favorite recreations are motoring and dancing and we have noticed she never lacks a companion for either one. Robert E. Burch English Course: Glee Club 4 years: Athletic Play 'ZZQ Sec. 6: Treas. -Junior Class: Sec. 8: Treas. Senior Classy Fire Team 2 years. Bob has often been mistaken for a professor, and retains his dignity on all occasions. l-le has won quite a reputation as an actor, and has an unusually good voice-probably due to practicing with a clever accom- panist. Mildred is a P. C. and we hate to lose'them both at once. but we couldn't imagine them going singly. Nellie Marie Bumpus Latin Scientific Course ln the year Nellie has been with us, she has proved herself a girl worth while.' She is fond of studying - especially Chemistry-taught by Mr. Mur- phy, in whose class she delights to confuse the long suffering in- structor with complex and un- explainable questions. We like her friendly smile, and wish we knew her better. V Virginia Genevieve Burdick Commerical Course Those large, dreamy eyes be- long to no other than our Vir- ginia. She has a way about her that just makes you like her, and we all do-yes, and so does somebody else, too. lf Virginia makes up her mind to accom- plish something, she is going to, and nobody can stop her.

She tells us that she is going to Boston. because there are more oppor- tunities for her in that city. Explain yourself Goldie, what kind of opportunities? Good luck to you. Francis Elvin liritts Latin French Course: Vale- dictorian: Glee Club 5 years: Orchestra 2 years: Staff '20-Zlg Athletic Play '22-'Z3g Fire Team I year: Class Pianist. Proud of him? Well l guess we are, but school work isn't the only thing in which Erwin ex- cels. Did you ever hear him tickle the ivories? Classical, jazz or anything else, Erwin can play it all. He can make those keys talk in which ever language he wishes. He intends to enter Princeton, Good Luck Erwin. Harriet Rodier Hall Latin Scientific Course Glee Club 2 years Junior Play Much wisdom often goes with fewest words. When it comes to Latin, Har- riett is a regular lllioneus. She has been with us two years. always looking out for the in- terest of her classmates and has shown herself most loyal, en- tering into many class activities and as an ardent supporter of The Optimist. Allegheny is her destination and her aim is to be a teacher of Math. May good luck be with you. Paul Hyland Harris Latin French Course Salutatorian Studious!-Well l guess so and his reward was the second honor. Paul is very serious while he is in Class. but when out of class. my, Oh, my, you'd be surprised. l-le likes French quite well. but not quite as well as Frenchtownf?j He is a very good cartoonist.
