m morabtlta “Give it to him”; how many times have we heard those words come from the mouth of “Jackie” Ball? “Jackie” probably doesn’t realize it, ' but it is his favorite saying. Many times have we heard him yell that very famous utterance in the heat of a football game for indeed “Jack” is a fine athlete. We who have played on the same teams as he, know him to be a fighter — a hard player. In football and baseball “Jackie” is outstanding. “Jack” is also wont to “trip the lights,” so to speak, and we often see him burning up shoe leather on the smooth surface of the Armory on Friday nights. Now here’s a secret, whisper it: “Jack” tells us that he hopes to go to Prep school in the fall. But it is a deep, dark secret. Well, we hope you do “Jack” and good luck to you, old man. When the song, “Is My Face Red,” was written, “Cherry” must have been the inspiration, for she is noted for her inconvenient blush. This fact, however, does not mean that she is a shy girl, for on the contrary she has a very dynamic per- sonality. Just ask any of her teachers. “Vee” always sees the sunny side of everything. When she laughs, or rather roars, at a joke, the four walls resound with an echo. Her presence in a class- room meant that there would surely be fun there. Elvira hasn’t definitely decided what she will do after graduation, but is con- sidering journalism. We are all sure she will make good. Her ever witty, cheer- ful and kind disposition has certainly made her a great friend of the class of ’34, who wish her the best of luck and success. And here we have the other member of the “Hans and Fritz” corporation. The majority of their classmates can’t distinguish one from the other. The corpora- tion has quite a time answering the question, “Which are you, Lenora or Elvira?” “Lee” has often considered going to the school committee and have them install an elevator for the use of the Senior class. Those who have accompanied her up those long stairs, will well remember her many complaints. “Fritz” has no faith whatever in the proverb “Silence is golden,” as anyone who had the luck to sit near her during any class will testify. As for her future, “Lee” has decided to take up the art of hairdressing and we all are sure that she will be a great success in her chosen profession. 1034 23
