THE BACONIAN SAMUEL OSCAR MAIOFES “Mozart” “Oh Love, has she clone this to me, what shall alas, become of me.” Dramatic Club—Fire Squad—Orchestra—Sen- ior Play. In our Junior year this young gentleman got the job of treasurer of the class. And he cer- tainly made the students payup their back dues! “Mozart” is a jolly soul, always joking. He seems to have knowledge of almost every subject and lets everybody know about it, too. In our future life, I’m sure we will always remember Sam. RUTH MINTZ “Ruchel” “Great oaks from little acorns grows.” Class Treasurer—Basketball—Dramatic Club— Home Economics Club—French Club—Bacon- ian Board—Senior Social Committee—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. September, 1926, brought a tall stately girl to Baconia. and thereby furnished another rea- son for making our class illustrious. We have chosen Ruth our secretary for the past three years and this year she is class treasurer. “Ruchel” is also a member of the Baconian Board and has much to do with its success. Her culinary work has at some time or another been sampled by all of us. and we have begged for a second helping. May her luck in life be as great as her work at Baconia! MARY JOSEPHINE STERN “Rod “The multitude is always in the wrong.” Home Economics Club When “Red” entered Baconia, she immed- iately started making friends. She may have the temper that is generally acknowledged to go with that color of hair, but if so, she has continually held it in check. Mary is a very good-natured girl. Her very laugh is often heard ringing through the walls of Baconia. Her ready smile has endeared her to us all. We are sure her list of friends will increase as she goes up the road of life.

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

THE BACONIAN BETTY SOLOMON “B” “Seldom seen, seldom heard.” Home Economics Club It is with a good deal of misgiving that wo attempt to write Betty’s history at Baconia for no one ever spoke truer words than the chap who said “silence is golden.” B” is by nature, serious, not melancholy but contem- plative, though when she chooses to, she can smile most charmingly. We doubt that she is interested in anyone of the opposite sex, but as fair a girl as Betty cannot elude Cupid very long. SAM S. STRICK ‘Spike” “Schully’ “Want a ride?’ Dramatic Club—French Club — Basketball Squad—Baseball—Fire Squad. This good-looking young chap has made many a girls heart go flip-flop! Schully” is so modest that he doesn’t, I believe, know about this. Nevertheless, it is true. Whenever you want to find him, it is necessary to look behind a book. “Spike” is always reading ‘literature.’ Riding around in his nice, red truck, he seems to be the answer to a maidens prayer! THERESA MARGUERITE TYNDA “Tessie” “Study is like Heaven’s glorious Sun.” French Club-Dramatic Club—Home Econ- omics Club—Editor-in-Chief of the Baconian. It is not often that a graduating class can lay claim to as clever a pupil as “Tessie.” Marking period after marking period, she has constantly made the honor roll without appar- ent effort. She shines especially in math class, where she calmly solves problems which cause the rest of us to tear our hair and utter hard words about all school work in general. “Tessie” attends our dancing classes regularly and is a very popular girl at Bacon Academy. With such versatile accomplishments, we won- der just which vocation “Tessie” will select to iollow in her future life. ACADEMY BACON Fourteen
