No one can love and be wise at (lie same time - ¥ ROBERT NEIL CAMBRIDGE “Bob” Special Course Inter-Class Basketball 3 Favorite Expression: “Oh, yes!” Favorite Occupation: Chauffeur. Ambition: Electrical Engineer. “Bob” joined our ranks in Sophomore year and has completed the High School course in 2 1 4 years, which is a very creditable record and one to be proud of. He carried off his share of testimonials, too, and we could always depend on “Bob” for a period of argument with the teacher. This ability of “Bob’s” to retain his convictions was appreciated by us especially on Mondays and “the morning after the night before.” “Bob’s” definite convictions extend to another Senior with whom he always attended our social affairs. In fact, his convictions are so definite that he is even more than an “8 o’clock Sunday nigliter” at a certain Chestnut Street address. “Bob” showed his athletic ability as center of our championship bas- ketball team. Perhaps some of his athletic prowess is due to the train- ing acquired through his advocation (driving cars and taking care of furnaces certainly makes for physical fitness). “Bob” is due at Tech in the fall and we wish him the best of luck. 28

Go west, young man, go west! WALTER EDMUND BURKE “Brother,” “Squire” College Course Inter-Class Basketball 3. Varsity Football 2-3-4, Business Manager of the Class Book. Varsity Basketball 4 Favorite Expression: “How are ya?” Favorite Occupation: Cutting fingers. Ambition: DuVarney’s Partner. “Burkie,” as Walter is known to his friends, is Business Manager of cur Class Book. His business-like manner and his personality fit him admirably for this position. After school Walter may be seen getting “ads” for the Class Book, and few are the business men who escape his clutches. “Burkie’s” career as a student — nuff said. But on the football field he’s a perfect demon. His insatiable thirst for warm, fresh blood has made him one of the best tackles the school has ever had, and the team will certainly feel his loss. “Burkie” is exceedingly valuable in class excitements, he is always ready to start something and follow it up. In “Burkie,” Notre Dame is getting a prince of fellows, sure to be appreciated. The sincerest wishes for success, Walter, are with you from ’27. 27

Haughty? No — looks are deceiving BERTHA IRENE CARD “Dutchie “Berta” College Course Hiking Club 1-2. High School Orchestra 1-2-3. Glee Club 3-4. Junior Prom Committee. Minstrel Show 3. Senior Show. Assistant Business Manager of the Class Book. Favorite Expression: “Whoopie.” Favorite Occupation: Laughing. Ambition: Music Supervisor. One could spend months and fill many books in giving a true descrip- tion of Bertha; and here I have only one page on which to sketch her career as a student of C. H. S. From the Freshmen to the Faculty “Berta” is a general favorite, full of life and pep, always with a winning smile on her face, and ever ready to lend a helping hand. Ever hear any of Bertha’s funny stories? You haven’t! Well, then you’ve missed something. She could tell them for a whole period and still have a lot left. The teachers, however, were not allowed to listen in on these stories, so maybe that was the reason why they said so often, “3.15, Miss Card.” Bertha has much talent as an actress. Was not the success of our show partly due to her splendid acting? It certainly was. Bertha is also a musician. I need say no more, for I’m sure that every- one has heard her, or heard of her. Her intention, she says, is to be a music teacher. We know that you will be a success in whatever you undertake, Bertha, so we’ll just say to you, “Good Luck.” 29
