H mnrabtlm “Had a tongue at will and yet was never loud” LORA PAULINE ADLER Commercial Course History Circle Favorite Expression: “And-ah.” Favorite Occupation: Studying. First in our fine class book, we have Lora and we are very fortunate indeed to have such a fine and brilliant example of our class of ’31 on the first page to tempt our readers further along. Lora, you know, comes all the way from Bolton every morning to attend C. H. S. and even though she lives “out of town’’ she rarely misses a day. When she is missing from a class we immediately wonder two things — if she is very ill, or if Bolton is snowed in. And when we have an assembly for giving out testimonials, we always see Lora walk up for her share of the honors for she is one of the best students in the class. But don’t think that this fact affects her disposition. For those of us who know her intimately can vouch for the fact that she can be “plenty hilarious” when she wishes. She has a rare sense of humor and a burst of laughter may often be heard issuing from her group of friends during recess. Another reason why she has so many friends is her readiness to help out her classmates concerning studies — especially homework. She never says “no” to any such request. We are sure that such willingness to help will carry her far. All we can say is Best of Luck from ’31, Lora. 20

l3l ' UUU Look beyond the ridge, friend And see the flaming light; Then take up your pack, friend And venture into the night. The road lies straight before you It’s dark and rough, I know; But the rougher the start, friend The smoother the end will go. The darker the night should seem The brighter yon goal will be; So lift high your hopes, friend And you’ll see the things to see. If Despair should seek to hinder Mind what Ambition saith “Let Work and Hope be your guide And Success the fruit of your Faith.” — Irene Brennan, ’31 19

il uutralTtlui “P ' ' or manners are not idle, but the fruit Of loyal nature, and of nol)le mind” ELIZABETH NOBLE BARKER “Betty” “Bet” Commercial Course History Circle; Junior Prom Committee Favorite Expression; “You’re awful.” Favorite Occupation: Taking care of “Dot.” One of our nicest, best liked and most obliging girls is “Betty.” She is so obliging, we just don’t know what we would do without her. “Bet” is a commercial student and she can generally be seen carrying a Stenography book when she leaves school. She is always the first one to walk up the aisle to receive that big testimonial, and how she loves to go! We doubt if you will ever see “Bet” and “Dot” when they are not together. It’s just too bad when “Dot” isn’t there. We wonder if they could walk home and back without each other. We are afraid “Betty” isn’t going to make a good wife for a big man for when- ever you offer her anything to eat she always says that she is on a diet. We think “Betty’s” great ambition is to drive a car. Why doesn’t someone teach her? She is one of the lucky girls who can say “Which one shall I wear?” while the rest of us unfortunates are pondering what we will wear. “Betty” is also one of those lucky girls who can have their fun without allowing it to interfere with her school work. “Betty” intends to enter business school and if she sticks to the ambition she has shown in C. H. S., we will not be surprised to hear that she is an outstanding figure in the business world. 21
