HELEN CAREY “Carey” With big eves and curly hair. No wonder beaux are in despair. Helen’s giggle is one of the secrets of her popularity and fame. She seldom wastes time at school by awaiting the 8:30 bell, but it is just such things as that which have won her the wide circle of friends which she possesses. The assignment of , n English essay or composition, which so often disrupted our whole evening, merely afforded Helen an opportunity to further display her ability. Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4. HELEN CHARLTON “Helen” “Dabbling in her quiet way, hi the pleasures of to-day. Helen’s generous smiles have won her many friends throughout the school. She has a kind word for everyone and is a staunch friend. Helen is one of our neatest and best dressed girls, and we feel that she will succeed in whatever she plans to do after graduating. Library staff, 2; Vice-President, 3. HENRY COLE “Red ’ “We make ourselves, our lives sublime As footprints on the sands of time. Henry is the most shining example of a “strawberry blonde” that our class possesses. His blue eyes and red hair give him a distinction “all his own.” Henry is thought to be armor-clad when it comes to Dan Cupid’ shafts, but wc have our doubts. We wonder just what is back of the rumor that Henry has succumbed to the charms of a beautiful blond of the “weaker sex.” French Club, 3; 4; Gustos Latin Club, 2; Treasurer of Freshman Class, 1.
