E AL HIGH SCHOOL IAMES WILLIAM SYLVESTER BAGE 1738 N. 19th Street Reynolds A quiet boy who never does wrongfffj Per- haps someday he'll be Dr. Bage of world-wide fame. With a smile on his face, he does the chores for Mr. Eisler, and walks as if Mr. Eisler was chasing him. Girls hold no fascination for him, although he likes sophisticated swing and books of romance. His hobby is photography and he's considered an expert in this Held. We hope Iim will be as big a success as he has been at Central.

BAIZER 251 N, 9th Street Kearney Ossie was one of the fairest and squarest fellows of our class, and a true friend in time of need tmonetary or otherwisej, He was always seen lending a hand to ,anyone who needed support, If Ossie knew the answers, everyone did, or if he cracked a joke every- one enjoyed it. His motto was UWhy let pol- itics bothe you? -but what does Ossie know of that or the Generals math for that matter. Ossie possessed an excellent personality, mingled with his enjoyment of the Hner arts and music. He also was quite a chap among the fair sex: there's lots in store for him in the future.

Dont forget to show up at reunions, Abi! Orchestra BERNARD BADLER 2032 N. 32nd Street Bartlett Bernie is a quiet and studious fellow, never- theless he gets around and is popular with everyone. He is interested in aviation and plans to pursue his education along this line as an aeronautical engineer. Bernie, while at Central, divided his leisure time between sports and his hobby, aviation. ln the athletic Held Bernie played baseball at which he was very successful and a boon to our nine.

He is one of the few who have practiced their Chemistry after leaving the classroom. But not only has he taken an interest in Chemistry, for the simple fact that he has been on the Barnwell Honor Roll every term attests to his interest and ability in his other phases of class work. Ierry is planning a career as a dentist and in a farewell wish to him let us hope he doesn't blow any of his patients up through his experimenting. Barnwell Honor Roll. 23
