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

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

iJI mnrabtlta “Throw physic (s) to the dogs; I’ll none of it” GEORGE ELLIOT BARNES “Barnsey” “Brains” Technical Course Manager of Football Team 4; Assistant Manager Football Team 3; Assistant Stage Manager of Senior Show; Treasurer of Le Cercle Francais 4; Tau Sigma; Reception Committee of Junior Prom; Junior Marshal; History Circle; Class Book Staff; Student Guest of Rotary Club. Favorite Expression: “Got a car?” Favorite Occupation: Throwing apples at road signs. Despite a few battle scars and added wrinkles, George has weathered the storm in four years. He has shown many a teacher that he was a good scholar, whi:e it was hard to convince a few others of the fact. A genial good humor, a smiling countenance, and a ready wit, combined with real ability and the faculty of adopting a serious mien when the occasion de- mands, and we have enumerated George’s chief characteristics. George has found time to lend his assistance on various class committees and activities. As manager of the Varsity Football team, he has contributed his share toward supporting his Alma Mater in extra-curricular activities. “Barnsey,” the man of cars, and yet of all cars, he likes his own the best. There are a good many times when George has not been stalled or stuck in the road and yet there are also a number of times when he has been. (?) With his Valentino smoothness and his amiable manner, to say nothing of his car, George has made a host of friends, among whom are many of the opposite sex. His career at C. H. S. has been very successful in every way and we can pre- dict with certainty that George and Success will walk hand in hand, after he has been graduated, and has matriculated at Dartmouth, his chosen Alma Mater. 22
