THE BACONIAN Year Book Staff, Business Manager—Senior Play. George is a tall member of our class, and he is also high when it comes to the esti- mation of his classmates. He took part in the Senior Play and served as business man- ager for that affair; an affair in which he proved his skill in managing business. As vice-president of the class, he has aided us in moments when we were puzzled by some predicament. And we wish to say that he has an ample supply of humor. George wants to be a lawyer. Well, when he gets there we are sure that he will be a success in that field. Ask the history teacher! JOHN ZENOWITZ “Zenny” “Smile and the world smiles with you” Track Team (Captain ’30-31)—Basketball (29-30; 30-31)—Baseball (29-31)— Assistant Stage Manager Senior Play. “Zenny” is a man who takes great interest in athletics. He holds letters from the three different teams of the school and is one of Baconia’s stars. He is a lover of his- tory and as far as we remember has never been “caught” on any subject pertaining to history. And too, you could ask him the dates of Washington’s administration or of Lincoln’s death and he would be light there with the answer. This is true of political cares—he knows them by heart. What do you think of that? He possesses another charm—that irresistible smile which has won him a host of friends. Keep following that straight course and keep on smiling Zenny, and we will find that our dreams of success for you will come true! ACAD Eleven M BACON E Y

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. GEORGE WASNIEWSKI “Georgy” “Tall as a sapling, straight as an oak” Senior Vice-President—Senior Play—Fire Squad—Baconian Board—Senior A C A D E M Ten BACON Y
