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

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

iHfiunralitlta “His cares are now all ended” DAVID NORMAN BEDRICK “Dave” “Normie” “Taxi” College Course Minstrel Show 1-4; Junior Prom Committee; Tau Sigma; History Circle; French Club 2-4; Debating Society; Varsity Football 3-4. Favorite Expression: “Oh, 1 forgot.” Favorite OcciipaUon: Riding in taxies Surely everyone knows “Dave.” There isn’t anything that he doesn’t get his face into. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of a chap — always smiling at someone and he very seldom gets angry. Whenever there is anything going on in the schoi l you’ll be sure to find “Dave” among the fun-makers. But aside from fun-making, we can’t say that “Dave” and studies mix so well. He thinks that studying is all right, but that other things are better. However, he plans to get right to work and get through some prep school, and then on to college. We know that “Dave” can make good if he wants to. If you have ever gone down to Fuller’s field, you have seen “Dave” playing end on the varsity football team. He has played a nice, steady game. “Dave” is always well-dressed and neat looking, but one’s beard would grow in the space of time it takes “Dave” to put on his glad rags. One of “Dave’s” weaknesses is French. Once upon a time he was a great French student hut now he speaks French several different ways, none of which the teachers approve. Just now “Dave” is studying anatomy and who knows may- be some day he will be a doctor. Whatever he takes up, he will win out if he puts his heart into it. Lots of luck, “Dave,” from ’31. 1931 2.3
