“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

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

“A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market” ALICE RITA BRODRICK “Al” College Course History Circle; Le Cercle Francais; Eta Nu Gamma 3; Musical Comedy 2-3; Minstrel Show 1. Favorite Expression: “Oh, squash.” Favorite Occupation: Making wize-kraks. The only thing blue about Alice is the color of her eyes. She is joy personi- fied. Her smile is always present, and her sense of humor never misses the funny side of anything. Studying has no charms for “Al,” but she does study (?) now and then. Usually Latin claims her attention. In fact, she is one of the fortunate eleven who has struggled through Latin 4. Let that speak for itself. However, pleasure has charms for Alice and a social event isn’t complete without her presence. “Sitting in a corner” is unknown to Alice’s vocal)ulary or experience. Alice believes in living in the present, and so has no definite plans as yet for the future but we have our suspicions, that she has dreams of becoming a poet- ess or authoress, some day. However, when she does come to a decision, we know she will work and win with a smile. A combination of those qualities of yours can lead to but one thing, Alice, and the whole class joins in wishing you the same thing — Success. 1931 27
