iM murabtUa “Tears — I know not what they mean” HELEN MARGARET BOERNER College Course Interclass Dramatics 3-4; History Circle; Secretary of Le Cercle Francais; Senior Show; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Class Book; Junior Prom Committee; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Honorary Member of Clinton Women’s Club. Favorite Expression: “Who cares?” Favorite Occupation: Being good. Just a happy-go-lucky and carefree girl, full of pep, vim and vigor, and with more than enough intelligence. Helen is one of the brilliant members of the class — and they are few among many. Every quarter she managed to obtain a generous supply of testimoniais. although she made no direct attempt to obtain them. Intelligence more than ef- fort, it seems, has placed her among the highly rated students of the class of ’31. Now, just to look at Helen, and know her simply by being in her class, is not enough to fully know and understand her. In fact, some people are entirely de- ceived. She looks like a quiet girl whose delights lie in reading novels, embroid- ering, etc. But she really isn’t. Of course she enjoys novels and such things, but that is not the full extent of her joys and delights. Her intimate friends will assure you of that. She is not quiet, but is rather full of fun. Her plans for the future are not as yet fully decided upon, but we are most certain that she’ll rank high in any career that is to her liking. She has surely proved that during her High School career. We are confident that some day in the near future we’ll be singing praises to her intelligence in still louder voices than we are now. You may be sure, Helen, that ’31 knows you’ll come out on the top, which gives us a very good reason to wish you success. 24

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

llinmtralttlia o7 oJ v9A»j ■ s7 “As fair as the day is long’’ HELEN PATRICIA BOISONEAU “Buzzie” Normal Course History Circle; Musical Comedy 1; Glee Club 1; Hiking Club 1; Eta Nu Gamma 3; Basketball 3. Favorite Expression: “What does it matter?” Favorite Occupation: Talking to in English 3. We next come to Helen, one of the most popular girls in the class. It may easily be said of Helen that she is as popular with the girls as with the boys. “Buzz” attended all the High School socials with a “certain party.” She is a great lover of dancing and never lacks a charming partner. Helen played inter- class basketball during her sophomore and junior years and was one of the big reasons why her class was always the winner. Judging from the number of clubs which claim Helen as a member, she is ex- tremely sociable. If you don’t love the club work, talk to Helen for awhile and come away satisfied. In the freshman minstrel show, Helen tried out her theatrical ability and certainly showed that she could give Ann Pennington a run for her fame. How- ever, Helen declared the bright lights have no allure for her. There is no one we shall miss more or remember longer than our Helen. Farewell, Helen, best wishes for success and happiness in the years to come. 1031 25
