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.

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 Gert is the cleverest one in our class. However all her time is not spent in study. Far from it. Gert has been active in sports as manager of the Girls’ basketball teams. She has also found time to make and keep the friendship of most of the pupils and i ac- uity of Bacon Academy. Gert intends to take up nursing and we know that she’ll be successful in her career. CHARLES SHAILOR “Junior” “Excuses are the paving stones of life.” Fire Squad. Shailor comes from Westchester and takes part in the various social affairs of the school. He is another one of those boys to whom science seems easy, and his ability in the automotive field is recognized by his classmates. You should see his laboratory. It is certainly a place that brings the life of Edison to one’s mind. Probably, Shailor will follow the scientific field and “make a name” for himself. So keep on trying» Junior. ANNA SIGAL “Ann” “Why consult Webster? I’m here.” Vice-President of the Dramatic Club—Literary Editor of Baconian Board, Home Economics Club—Senior Play—Senior Prom Committee—Class Poet. Ann has been one of the most active members of the Senior class. It is due to her interest that our socials have been such great successes. Ann is our class poet but has not the indolent nature we attribute to poets. With her poise and ability to express her- self on all occasions we know Ann will go far in whatever vocation she decides upon. DAVID WALLACE “Dubbee” “Still waters run deep.” Stage Manager of Senior Play—Basketball—Baseball (Co-Captain). “Dubbee” is one of the admired members of our class for he always acts in a gen- tlemanly manner. On the basketball team he did good work and as a reward for his athletic labors, elected co-captain of the baseball team. Dubbee did a good job on the stage work of the Senior Play. All luck to you Dubbee! FANNIE WASNIEWSKI “Fan” “She liked whate’er she looked upon—and her looks went everywhere.” Glee Club—Basketball (Captain ’30-31)—Senior Play—Year Book Staff. Fan has been voted the most popular girl in school. Anyone working with her or near her could not doubt the veracity of the above statement. Although Fan was orig- inally of another class we have forgotten that. In her efforts to take part in all our in terests she has become one of us. We are very proud of the most popular girl in school. We know success awaits her as secretary to some famous personage.
