THE BACONIAN FRANCES E. HATT “Frenchy” “Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.’ Dramatic Club—Home Economics Club This brown-eyed little lady is one of the most popular students at Baconia. Always cheerful, Frenchy” has done all in her power to help things run smoothly at school. In spite of this, her school work is not neglected. Her marks in Science have been among the highest. She will surely do well with anything that she undertakes. PETER HOMINICK “Pete” “Pedro” “He knows what he wants and gets it.” Class Vice President—French Club—Baseball —Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Dramatic Club—Senior Play. Permit us to introduce you to the shiek of our class. In matters concerning the opposite sex, this young man cannot be competed with. He is popular with the fellows too! His ath- letic inclinations have brought him out for Baseball. In his studies, he stands among the head of his class. We are very glad to have had this quick-witted and pleasing person in our class. DAVID HORWITZ “Duddy” “Capt'n Muglitz” “Why take life seriously; you’ll never get out of it alive.” Baseball Manager—Captain of the Basketball Team—Science Club—French Club—Dramatic Club—Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. From our Freshman year we have liked and admired this boisterous, good-natured chap. His wit and “wise-cracks” have enlivened many a dull class period. He is ever ready to debate, on almost any subject, with anyone. We are all proud of the record “Duddy” has left in athletics, bringing the victory home on many occasions and also being the hjghest scorer in basketball for the year. Truly a fine, all-around man !

THE BACONIAN VIVIAN I. COHEN “Red” “I’m here, the party can begin.” French Club—Dramatic Club—Home Econ- omics Club—Year Book Staff—Senior Social Committee — Basketball — Baconian Board— Senior Play. Here we see the heart and center of the social life of Baconia. Vivian has exceptional dancing ability and this, plus her sunny dispo- sition, has won her more friends than she can count. Vivie has also taken an active part in the planning of our social functions. The old proverb, “Beautiful but Dumb” can never be applied in Vivian’s case for she stands among the three highest in the class and is a serious competitor for senior honors. We wish you the best of luck Viv. DOROTHEA H. GERSTEN “Bay” “Dot” “Words, Words, Words !” Class Secretary—Senior Social Committee— Cheer Leader—French Club—Dramatic Club— Home Economics Club—Baconian Board—Bas- ketball Manager—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee. This young lady is inclined toward athletics and her prowess in basketball is known throughout the town. However, she does not neglect her studies for this, because she is one of the best students in her class. “Dot” has always been a great help when planning school lunctions. Her ambition is to become a school teacher, and we are sure she will work ear- nestly and well. PEARL GILMAN “Pearly” “My Bonnie lies over the ocean—Middletown” Home Economics Club—Basketball Pearl is one girl in our school who has con- sistently refused to exchange her long tresses for the more modern bob. Old fashioned, say you? Not if we know it. Pearl is right up to the minute and a mighty popular girl at Bacon Academy. Pearl is not one of those who seem to know everything at a single glance, but by hard work, she has maintained a good average in her studies. Continue to be as persevering after graduation Pearl.

THE BACONIAN OSCAR ARTHUR HORWITZ “Arty Some are, and must be. greater than the rest President of the Student Council—President of the Class—Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book— Fire Squad—Basketball Team—Baseball Squad —Chairman of Senior Social Committee— Dramatic Club—Baconian Board—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. Every once in a while there comes to Baconia a man who by sheer genius, attracts and holds general attention. Such a one is our class president. Three times we have chosen him to steer us safely past the reefs which threaten every class and our confidence lias been justified. His abilities were recognized by others also, for Arty has been identified with every school affair of importance includ- ing athletics. rl he Baconian Board has request- ed his service as art editor for three years. We don’t know what he intends to do after June but we’ll wager he will be found at the head of General Motors or some other large con- cern in future years. S. ALLEN HOROWITZ “Paddy Oh! Woman, where is Thy charm? French Club—Baconian Board—Fire Squad- Dramatic Club—Year Book Staff—Baseball Squad. We do not find very many ambitious young fellows in this day and age, but here is one. “Paddy has traveled from Marlboro to Col- chester every school day for four years in order to attend Baconia and to gain an educa- tion. Whenever Allen starts to work on any- thing. we know that it will be done and done well, too. The strange part of it is that he usually tries to tell us that someone else did the heavy share of work and not he. We do not know what the Baconian Board could have done without him. Allen is a great mathemati- cian. When he goes out into the world, there is no telling what this lad may do, but we learn lie aspires to a career in aviation. SAMUEL JAFFE “Cru “Sammie “The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Manager Track Team—Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Dramatic Club—French Club—Senior Social Committee—Basketball Team—Baseball —Student Council—Orchestra—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. We have quite a number of jolly fun-loving boys in our class and “Sammie is one of them. “Cru has gone out for all the athletics offered at Bacon Academy and he has been successful, too. He and two other “Sammies always pal around together. Perhaps later on they’ll form a business which they will name “The Three Sams.” ACADEMY Ten BACON
