14 BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL “BLIZZARD” Sure we cannot leave out Helen Johnson who boasts of her Scandinavian (Nordic) descent, And when it comes down to her studying, talking is where most of her time is spent. Nevah Jones who drums the orchestra piano is the girl of powder and paint. And when it comes down to music, it sounds like a harp, but it ain’t. Although she is very pretty and plays by note very well, She cannot go out on the stage and why, is just what I won’t tell. Richard Miller, who tries to outdo his brother Paul At noon, when he’s at school, he is out there playing ball. Doris Monroe, the big girl of 192H, Who runs with fellows and stays out late. Much about this 1 will not relate, But sometime or other she’ll find out her fate. We have here with us Marguerite Nelson, calm, quiet and sedate. A study in contrasts and when it comes to classes She can’t find half questions enough to ask. Maxine Nelson, who is a distinguished speaker especially when she’s in school, She can always laugh and snicker, lay aside all the stuff that Maxine does, If she stopped for a minute someone else would begin to buzz. Arthur Richardson, our football star of ’24, He’s such a hard kicker he’d raise anyone’s floor, But when it comes down to football, he is always at the game, No matter who kicked him in the slats he always appears the same. Irene Seamans, so they all say, Could play basketball any day. She is tall and can run very fast. She’d jump and hit the ball and blat like a calf. Nelson Shavalier, or our friend “Nellie,” Hit a guy and almost knocked him silly. And when in the scouts lie’s a very good guy, And at any game lie’s always spry. Virgie Taylor, our star in commercial arithmetic, Would drive “Mose” almost frantic, or else make him a lunatic. When it comes to working, she’s pretty good, But she can do arithmetic in a Klu Kluxer’s hood. Oh, sure we cannot leave out Edith Sprague who talks serenely and laughs often. Some day she will talk and talk off her head and then they can buy her a coffin. Burdette Thompson being our author, naturally forbids comment, And when it comes to anything but talking he ain’t worth a cent. Winifred Ward is as fat as can be And carries the keys to biology. We don’t want to leave out Lawrence Wightman, our left hand marvel of basketball. And when he gets the ball in his possession he dribbles it the length of the hall. And when he shoots at the basket he always drops it straight in, And if you watch him very long, your head will begin to spin.

BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL ‘BLIZZARD” 13 The Freshness of Our Freshmen (By Frederick Maxson) At the first of the list we have Thelma Guild, Who built the Greek house and left out the sills. I have just one thing to say: “In building a house this is a very poor way.” Then next comes Sealand Appleby with his permanent waves, Who, when he gets older will use a hoe when he shaves. But sure this fellow isn’t what lie’s stuck up to be, Because when walking with Chief, hardly comes to his knee. But next comes Marjorie Burdick and about her 1 will say That you hardly ever see her fellow crossing the field that way. She runs with Harold Burdick, much about him I do not know. But alias it will be Mrs. Burdick even though he is working slow. Then we have Irene Casey whom they call the red-haired vamp, And I would advise Miss Casey not to get around where it is damp. For she is thin, and very weak, and her bones show through the hide. She looks as though she was on the beach at the income of the tide. Sure we cannot leave out Emmo-gene Day, one of our loud speakers, But when it comes to school work, she is sure not one of the seekers. And then we have the brother of Hon. P. E. Iiusak, our representative from Horse Bun. He is known to the students as Alois Husak, and believe me boys lie’s a son-of-a-gun. Say people, 1 almost forgot .Julius Cook, Who can play a violin without a book. They also say lie’s a very good astronomer And takes English from Mrs. Bal-mer. Edgar Dillie, is he studious? Why, studious is no name, But when it comes to things outside of school he is also at that game. As 1 sit here thinking how lazy some people are, A vision comes into my mind of Eddie Ervin, our lazy star. They call him the interior decorator from the drawings he has made W ith pencil and rule he can outline a school and never miss a shade. We have with us William Foster, whom they named as our southpaw, And when it comes down to laziness, before he’d cook a potato he’d eat it raw. And next comes Marion Hoffman. She is a beautiful girl. She could beat anyone at basketball and do it on the whirl. Here comes Lydia Ingalls who’s called “the perfect blonde,” ■And when it comes to going out with fellows, of this she’s verv fond.

C. Witter, of the school faculty. Arriving at the capitol city Saturday evening, April 4, after a rather tedious but somewhat hilarious ten hours on the Pennsylvania railroad, the group of high school seniors, teachers and friends repre- senting Xunda, Belfast, Arkport, Belmont, Fillmore, East Aurora, Richburg and Bolivar, anchored at the National hotel, were assigned their rooms and might have been in bed by 10:30 had they been so inclined. Generally speaking, the first evening was passed quietly enough, everyone seeming to feel the need of a good rest before venturing forth to “explore the wonders” of America’s most beautiful city. Sunday morning found the group which numbered about 155, en-route for Annapolis, Md., via the Baltimore-Washington trolley, Here the state capitol and the U. S. naval academy were major points of interest. Submarine chasers, yachts and other vessels lined up at the Annapolis docks were subjected to considerable scrubbing, while the antics of a group of Philippino sailors on the ball field amused the spectators. Sunday evening found most members of the group back in
