THE BACONIAN Baconian Board—Senior Play—Year Book Staff—Salutatorian. Beatrice is one of the most popular girls at Bacon Academy. She has been secre- tary of the class for four years and held the same position in two clubs. Her talent at the piano has been demonstrated several times much to our enjoyment. Beatrice is going to be a kindergarten teacher and we know that in this field her great understanding of children will aid her immensely. JOHN GREGORY “Greek” “If I lose sleep at night, I make it up in my classes.” Baseball Team (co-captain ’30-31)—Basketball Team—Stage Man—Senior Play—Glee Club—Fire Squad—Track Team. “Greek” is a cheerful young man who believes that sleep is essential to the mak- ing of a good athlete for he makes up “lost sleep” by slumbering in classes. But he doesn’t sleep when out on the track course or baseball diamond. His ability has won him the position of co-captain of the baseball team for the present season. We have some more to say about him. He takes part in social activities, too! During the past school year he has helped out in some plays and did a great deal of work for the class when the Senior Play came. “Take it easy, old sport!” DAVID LEVINE “Lean” Yale has Booth, Notre Dame has Corideo, And Baconia has Lean! Basketball Team (Capt. ’30-31)—Assistant Stage Manager—Senior Play— Fire Squad—Baconian Board—Senior Year Book Staff. “Lean” is one of the “stars” of Baconia, having taken an active part in athletics, during the entire period of his career at Bacon Academy. He was elected captain of the basketball team during the past season and is a leading member of the baseball team. He also found time to serve on the Student Council for three years. There is no doubt in our minds that “Lean” will make good at Boston University. SARA LEVINE “Sara” “Believing where we cannot prove.” Sara has been one of the quietest girls at Bacon Academy, consequently it is a hard task to write her notes. Sara excels in dressmaking and we shall yet hear of her as a famous designer. EDDIE O’CONNOR “Eddie - Rudy Valee” “I’m just a vagabond Lover” Senior Play—Class Treasurer—Baconian Board—Year Book Staff—President Dramatic Club—Glee Club. Eddie was always a quiet and studious student and we really did not know much of him until this year, when he has become one of us. Because of his auburn hair, blue eyes and musical talent, we have nicknamed him Rudy Valee. He expects to purchase a saxophone soon and give Rudy some serious competition. Good luck, to you, Eddie I May you succeed in every undertaking. ACADEMY Eight BACON

THE BACONIAN SAMUEL BERMAN “Sammy” “Without a doubt he’s a good old scout.” Basketball Manager—Fire Squad—Senior Year Book Staff—Glee Club— Dramatic Club. During our four years at Baconia we have found that “Sammy” is a true friend. His willingness to give his time to help out in class affairs is appreciated by his class- mates, who hold him in high esteem. We are pleased to say that he is one member of our class to whom Physics, Algebra, and Geometry are as simple as talking. In dra- matics he has been a success, having taken part in several plays. We are sure that Sammy will become one of the noted Baconian graduates and we think that he will fol- low in the footsteps of men like Einstein. That’s the way “Sammy.” JOSEPH BUSEL “Buzzle” “Carry Me Back to Old Virginy” Track Team (Manager 30-31)—Baconian Board—President of Junior Class— Senior Year Book Staff—Senior Play—Fire Squad—Chairman Sub-Fresh- man Day Committee—Dramatic Club. “Buzzle” is one of the most popular boys at Baconia. He joined the class six years ago and from that time has taken an active part in all affairs, serving as president dur- ing our Junior year. In sports he has also been successful playing on the baseball team last year and lending his ability to the basketball squad during the past season. He took a leading part in the Senior Play, an affair which proved very successful. That’s the idea, Buzzle! ROSE EINHORN “Rosie” Home Economics Club. “Just a cottage small by a waterfall.” At least that seems to be what Rose is seeking right now, but maybe there aren’t any waterfalls in New York. If her home is near an elevator there will be noise enough. Rose is the first of our class who will be married. We wish her great success in her marital venture. HYMAN FALK “Zip” “I can be convinced, but it’s a hard job.” Track Team—Baseball—Basketball—Glee Club—Fire Squad—Senior Play. “Zip” is the official electrician of Bacon Academy. When the bells aren’t ringing or the lights are out you will find him on the job trying to locate the trouble. And it isn’t long before everything is working all right. In the field of sport he holds respon- sible positions. He played on the baseball team during this season and made his letter by his skillful work on basketball squad. And, we mustn’t forget that talent which he possesses—the talent that was so helpful in the Senior play in which he impersonated an old New England farmer. BEATRICE GITLIN “Bea” “Music hath charms.” Secretary of Class (4 years)—Dramatic Club—Secretary of the Glee Club— A C A I) E Seven BACON M Y

THE BACONIAN JOHN POPEK “Puppy” “Would you like to take a ride?” Baseball Team—Year Book Staff—Fire Squad—Gle? Club. “Puppy” is a good sport. We all know that. Every time we have a social at the school he gives us aid by furnishing a car or some other necessity. He is playing on the baseball team this year and he has been very successful. We cannot forget to tell you about his ability in the maintenance and driving of cars. Why, if there is any trouble with a car at school, just call Johnnie and you’ll be on your way soon. But if you’re in any hurry, let him drive the car for you. You won’t be late! No, never! Well probably Puppy will become an automobile racer like Campbell. Nevertheless watch out, Johnnie, and don’t drive too fast! DOROTHEA RAYMOND “Dimples” “Oh, somewhere out in Gilead is my love.” Senior Play—Home Economics Club—Glee Club—Year Book Staff—Historian. Even though Dot lives out in Westchester she has always participated in all school affairs. Her ready smile has made many friends among the students of Bacon Acad- emy. Her ability in Home Economics is unsurpassed. Good luck to you, Dot! DORIS RILEY “Dot” “Waiting to be taken out of circulation.” Baconian Board—Year Book Staff—S.nior Play—Glee Club—Basketball. Dot has always been active in all of our school events especially in Dramatics and Basketball. We have often wondered why Dot’s mind is out of school much of the time, but we satisfied our curiosity by the fact that her leisure time is w'ell occupied by mem- bers of the opposite sex. But we are sure that if Dot does as well in all her undertak- ings she will make out splendidly. Here’s wishing you lots of luck, Dot! HYMAN SCHWARTZ “Curly” “Let me sing and I’ll be happy.” President Senior class—Chief of Fire Squad—President Glee Club. “Curly” has been with us in all our joys and sorrows, and his executive ability has won him the presidency of the class. During our Junior Year he was assistant Fire Chief, and due to the fact that he fulfilled his duties faithfully, he was made Fire Chief for the present school year. He is musically inclined—a gift which gets him into trouble with the teachers after they find that he has been singing in class. But, there’s no harm in that; he’s only training his voice. Well, k;ep up your singing, Curly; and develop your executive ability some more and we probably will find you the president of some large industrial concern. GERTRUDE SEGER “Gcrt” “A Senior is entitled to some privileges.” Basketball (Manager ’30-31)—Editor-in-chief of the Baconian Board, Editor- in-chief of the Year Book—Secretary of the Dramatic Club—Home Economics Club—Valedictorian.
