ROLAND B. HOUSTON Oftentimes when we. were deeply absorbed in uncovering’ skeletons of the past, there would break upon our already troubled state of mind a series of long drawn out wails, whose origin was for some time a mystery to us. We finally found out that they issued from the shop, where Mr. Hous- ton was operating the power saw. Only a few of the boys are acquainted with Mr. Houston, who is their able instructor in Mechanical Drawing. MARY T. GIBBONS Miss Gibbons is well acquainted with the girls of the class, and indirectly acquainted with all of us because of the noise of her classes in action. The girls’ basketball team, as well as the hiking clubs, — all complete successes, — may be taken as illustra- tions of her ability as a gym instructor. 15

“Mysterious love, uncertain treasure HEL EN LOUISE AYERS “ Her “Hal” Normal Course Birthday: May 11. Favorite occupation: Just a spectator. Favorite expression: “What der you know.” Favorite drink: Chocolate frappe. Favorite song: “Blue Grass Blues.” A comes first in our alphabet so Helen Ayers must come first in our book. Helen always is first and belongs there. Wasn’t she the first girl in the class to have her hair shingled? Before she had it cut she was the sort of quiet-looking refined girl that everyone admires but only a few privileged ones really know, but now with her shingle she’s sort of “flapperish” and that smile — well, she doesn’t look quite the same. Please notice the class ballot. Who would ever expect the proud possessor of the latest shingle bob to be the class highbrow in our class — but she is, and the higher the better we like her. Although Helen is one of the quiet type of girls we shall always find her among the j oiliest and a good time could not seem good without her. She attends the socials and dances held in the town and one will always find her among the merriest. To see Helen whirl by in a dance hall has become a familiar sight. Hal has decided to further her education at Bridgeport Normal. We know she will be a success, and we wish she was going to be our teacher. It makes you feel like beginning school all over again. 17
