“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

“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

memorabilia “Blushing is the color of virtue” MAE DELIA BURGWINKLE “Babe” Commercial Course Eta Nu Gamma 3; History Circle. Favorite Expression: “I’ve got my bookkeeping to do.” Favorite Occupation: Blushing. Upon glancing at “Mae’s” picture, you get the impression that she is one of the dignified members of our class. But ah! how deceiving appearances can be. Hasn’t she selected the rear of the hall for her permanent abode during her senior year and those who know can tell you of the dignified (?) seniors back there. Mae certainly shows speed in her stenography class, both in taking dictation and in transcribing it. It is rumored that in bookkeeping she is a shark. Mae never has to worry about handing her work in on time. As a proof of her schol- astic ability, it was a rare occasion when we did not see Mae at the end of a quar- ter or a mid-year, relieve Mr. Cobb of his heavy burden of testimonials. She always had some alibi to keep her out of scrapes. Her success was es- pecially notable in passing up “gym.” As to her plans for the future, we are as yet in the dark. Probably “Babe” is, too, for that matter. However, she has lots of ambition and more ability so that we have every reason to expect a rosy future for her. 1931 29
