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

“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

iH mnrabtUa “The fairest garden in her looks, And in her mind the wisest books” ANNE FRANCES BURKE “Alma” Commercial Course History Circle; Eta Nu Gamma 3; Musical Comedy 2-3; Minstrel Show I: Hiking Club 1; Interclass Basketball 1-2. Favorite Expression: “I diinno.” Favorite Occupation: Listening to details, from Irene. Let ns introduce one of our newcomers, Anne Burke. Many of us may not need an introduction because Anne’s personality is such that many of us know her. Anne comes from the Class of 1932 with which she originally began, but she evidently recognized that the Class of 1931 had some desirable points so she’s with us now. Anne is taking her four year course and doing it in three, a lot of extra work that most of ns wouldn’t attempt. She was taking six subjects, among which were three histories, but she didn’t get her dates mixed because Irene was right there to remind her of them. “Alma” and “Cleo” are almost always to be seen together and we’ll wager they had plenty to talk about (?). We often wonder just what they are talking about but still we never venture to ask. I wonder why? Anne is bound to be somebody’s helpmate (in an office, of course), and she’s going to succeed, with her willingness to help. The best wishes of 1931 are fol- lowing her.
