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

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

“We’ve got onions anti scullions, cabatches and string beans” GEORGE THOMAS CASEY “Case,” “Zutter” Colleqe Course Inter-Class Football 2-3-4 Favorite Expression: “Why?” Favorite Occupation: Bending. Am- bition: Lawyer. “Mirabile Visu!” These would probably be the first words of our noted Latin teacher, Mr. Hynes, on observing the above photograph. And it surely is “wonderful to see.” For who would guess that a fellow like “Case” would take such a cherubic picture? By that we don’t mean that George is nefarious; nothing of the sort. George is an all-around “good fellow.” But anyone knows that if there is any “deviltry” going on, “Zutter” has either started it or is there cheering on the side-lines. “Case” had a way of making us forget our troubles, and wherever he was, there was bound to be merriment. However, “Case” was no “plug” when it came to studies either, and though he “followed the line of least resistance,” he always managed to get good grades. Someone has said, “Nobody loves a fat man.” Not so with George, however. We all like him and whatever path he may choose in after life he will have with him our most sincere good wishes. 30
