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

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

“Eat. drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die” IRENE CREVIER BRENNAN Commercial Course History Circle; Eta Nu Gamma; Musical Comedy 1-2-3; Hiking Club 1; Inter- class Basketball 1-2; Track 1-2. Favorite Expression: “Ca’m yourser.” Favorite Occupation: Torturing words. Irene is one of those brilliants who have successfully completed their High School course in three years. And to mane such a feat seem even more impos- sible for the rest of us she has always maintained a very high standing, scholasti- cally in our class. We honestly believe that Irene could paper a room, and a large one at that, with the testimonials she has received while at C. inton High. But at no time could Irene be classified as a grind for we know that while she must put in some time on her lessons, still she found plenty of time to take part in practically every school activity. And it must have taken some time to compose all those verses that she has — and if you don’t think they are good just look at the masterpiece at the beginning of the Senior writeups. Irene could not, however, be classified as one of our quiet girls. She was usually in on any merriment and did more than her share to add to the fun. We won’t say that Irene is noisy but will merely note that her voice is well-known up in the hall. Draw your own conclusions. Irene has been an enthusiastic supporter of all the High School clubs — and has had much experience as a radio broadcaster on History C’ircle programs. She has labored hard and unceasingly as a member of our Class Rook Staff and has contributed many articles to make this class book a success. 26
