THE BACONIAN GLADYS KALMANOWITZ “Babs” “Gittle” “Laugh and the world laughs with you.’ Home Economics Club—Dramatic Club—Stu- dent Council—Baconian Board—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee. Who does not remember this young lady as class treasurer in our Freshman year. Mr. Atwood told us that our dues would have to be paid up, and believe us, “Glad” certainly followed Mr. Atwood’s instructions. This year she represents the Senior Girls on the Student Council. Her record in scholastic work is an enviable one and when she goes out into this world we feel sure everyone will like and trust her as well as do the student body of Baconia. EDNA KASHKIN “Eddy” “Quiet, but still there.” Baconian Board—Basketball—Year Book Staff —Dramatic Club—Home Economics Club— Senior Play. Edna is the quiet type of girl who takes delight in keeping her word. When “Eddy” says she’ll do something she’ll do it. In conse- quence, we have come to depend upon her more and more and no small amount of credit is due her for share in preparing this year book. Other organizations have clamored for her help also. “Eddy” is an active member of the Ba- conian Board and has taken part in more plays than anyone else in school. Can she act? And how. In her studies she has easily main- tained a very high average.We learn that she is a very good cook. too. Edna has a charming disposition, a ready smile for all, and many friends. We all are happier because we have known her. Good luck to you, Edna. FREDERICK J. KOPP “Tarzan” --- Came Hermes, winged messenger of the Gods.” French Club—Orchestra—Basketball Team— Captain of the Track Team—Captain of Fire Squad—Baseball Squad. The class of 1930 is richly supplied with athletic young men. Here is one who has done much on the basketball, baseball and track teams. His studies have not suffered because of his sports activities, however. “Tarzan is a good dancer and popular with the fair sex. Next to Mr. Goodrich, he has been the main- stay of the school orchestra. We are all proud of the record “Freddy” has left at Baconia! BACON ACADEMY Eleven

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

THE BACONIAN SARA G. LIEBERMAN “Sally” “Perserverance leads on to victory.” French Club—Home Economics Club—Dram- atic Club—Year Book Staff We pause here to pay tribute to a girl who is sincerely liked and admired by everyone in the class. Since her entrance in the fall of ’26. she has been a sturdy booster of the class of ’30. Her cheerful willingness to cooperate has had much to do with the success of our many activities. “Sally” is one of the few seniors who seem to remember every assignment and she is con- tinually bothered by someone wanting to know “the English or History for tomorrow.” We sometimes wonder how she can keep her temper, for we have never seen her lose her composure during her extremely successful career at Baconia. BERTHA LEVINE “Birdie” “Bert” “Serene is she who never makes a sound.” Home Economics Club “Birdie” drew general attention to herself by her unusual quality of being able to keep silent. Even as a Freshman—and Freshmen are supposed to be noisy—she was always quiet and dignified. She has maintained this reserve throughout her four years at Bacon Academy, with the result that few of us know her very intimately. “Bert” manages, however, to put in a sentence or a word just when it is needed. She has been a loyal supporter of our class. Continue to say the right thing at the light time, “Birdie,” and the world will be yours. PAULINE RUTH LUBIN “Paul” “Silence never betrayed anyone.” Home Economics Club Very few of us know “Paul” for like “Bir- die” she rarely speaks in class. But when she does recite, we give her our undivided atten- t on. for we know we are to hear what is what, and why. Pauline is rather a serious, dignified girl and we rarely see her wasting her time in idle gossip. She is very charming, though, and makes a very attractive participant in any social function. When she leaves Baconia, she carries with her our heartiest wishes for hap- piness. ACADEMY BACON Twelve
