il mnrabtlia Napoleon was great in spite of his height JOHN JOSEPH BOISONEAU Technical Course John is another one of our quiet boys. One never heard of John causing the teachers any rancqiiors. He is so quiet, in fact, that few of us really knew that he belonged to ’29. For some time we were wondering why John disappeared from school so soon after classes were over and did not return for many afternoons activities. However we found out that John has been signed up by the First National firm to manage one of their stores on High Street. We also found out that John’s favorite occupation is driving one of Henry’s old model “Lizzies” and he certainly seems to know how to handle the wheel. John was also a student and certainly knew his stuff in History. His skill iii that subject is making even himself believe that some day he will be back in Room o, presiding over a class in U. S. Although John did not participate in any of our athletics, not every one can take i)art and you know we must have some one to cheer the teams on to victory. As a I ' ooter, John has always been one of our best. John’s destination for his further studies is undecided, but wherever he may go the (Tlass of 1929 will know that he will succeed in spite of all difficulties.

M mnrabtUa Studious, yet so bewitchiiig ' GERTRUDE ROSALIND BEDRICK “Gert” “Gertie” “Trudy” College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3, 4; Librarian of Debating Club; Junior Prom Committee; History Club; French Club; Senior Show Committee; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Interclass Dramatics 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Here she is, our well-known, weii-iiked classmate. “Gert” is a true version of the old saying, “Good things come in small pack- ages,” for this “petite miss” has won her way into the hearts of her fellow class- mates. “Gert” always gets her studying done but books have no hold on her when it comes to a good time. “Gert’s” idea of being on time is coming about twenty minutes late but then, she gets there eventually. “I’m sorry” will get her by so what cares she. Let us take time out here to introduce to you the quartet, “The Inseparable Four,” who may be seen roaming around the corridors, dances, games and various places of amusement. Of this group “Gertie” is a member. The others will make their appearance in due time. “Trudy” never fails us in our musical comedies with a dance specialty. li will not be a big surprise to us if she wins renown on Broadway. When Senior year came along sh e branched out and showed her skill in dramatics as well. “Gert’s” studies are not going to end in C. H. S. We know her ability will carry her with honors through any task she attempts and all our good wishes go with her on her road to Wellesley. 1929 21

iMinmmihtUa Little, ])ut — oh my! ! MARY TERESA BOISONEAU “Bois” “Biizzic Normal Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; A. A. 3, 4; Science Club 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Hiking Club 2; History Circle 4 Here is Mary — small of stature but big of heart. Mary generally likes to overrule the teachers’ wishes to “be quiet’’ — espec- ially during study periods, and may often be seen walking through the corridors in search of new study rooms, and yet “Bois” never seems to tire of school. It seems to make no difference to her whether it is morning or afternoon session that she attends. We wonder why? Mary likes to go to all the socials, and we can’t blame her, for she certainly has a good time and receives a lot of attention from the “stronger sex” at all of them. “Buzzie” is well liked by her classmates and her supply of “wisecracks makes everyone admire her wit, and if there is any fun around yon may be sure that she is in on it. Mary regularly attends all the school games, and she adds not a little to the cheering for the school teams. “Bois” knows her English and may often be seen devouring great volumes ( f myths. She doesn’t seem to believe in letting pleasure interfere with work, how- ever, because she may be seen clerking in some of our local stores. Mary intends to grace a corner of some office in the future and we all wish her the best of hick in whatever niche she may find herself. 1929 23
