“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

“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

“Cheerful looks make every dish a feast” MARY THERESE BURGOYNE “Mae B” “Mae” Normal Course Glee Club 1-2; Hiking Club 1; French Club 2; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; Musical Comedy 2; Minstrel Show 1; Junior Prom Committee; Eta Nu Gamma 3. Favorite Expression: “Gee, no.” Favorite Occupation; Writing best themes in English 4. Who has not often heard her laugh ringing out in the hall? Every recess will find Mary’s desk surrounded and Mary’s voice and laugh resounding. For Mary is one of our interesting girls, those who can laugh and joke, and still like the teachers. Mary is a U. S. shark and an English shark, too, so we’ve heard. She is one of the Hill girls, and a true product of the Hi:l she’s proved, for every quarter she will be seen walking away with a few of the coveted testimonials in her hand. But that doesn’t prevent her from having a good time. As all know, “Mae” is very popular, especially with the opposite sex. No one will ever see her posing as a “wall flower” at any social or dance. Well, Mary, you may go assured that C. H. S. will miss you, and that 1931 ex- tends the best of wishes for your happiness in the future. 28
