Page Twenty THE BLUE AND GOLD A1 is the smallest boy in the class. He is the speed kins: on the type- writer, too. He always produces good work in his classes. We wish him success in the business world. “You know me, Al!” FREDERICK GOTTSHALK FAUST “Fritz” “Fred” “Did you hear this one? “When do we eat?” English Club, 1. ”, Science Club, 1. 2, Civics Club, 1. Band, 3, 4, Orch- estra., 1, 2, 3, 4. Fred is one of our “wise-crackers.” He is always thinking of something funny, but they say he never thinks about himself. Fritz has two favor- ite pastimes which are always on his mind. They are telling jokes and eating. “A good time in life is taking fun when it comes.” HAROLD RAYMOND FRANKEN- FIELD “Hayseed” “How do you get that way?” Secretary English Club. 1, Presi- dent Science Club, 1, Vice-President English Club, 2, Baseball, 3.

When you see a Ford skid around Sixth avenue on two wheels, and stop abruptly, you know that’s Freasie. He is energetic, sparkling with wit and running over with fun. Whenever something is doing, then we naturally look for Squire. “Thoughtful, yet of ready wit and readier laughter. FRANK IRWIN GILINGER “Goat” “I knew there was a ‘ketch' in it.” English Club, 1, 2. “Cherry Blos- som, 2, Painter of Scenery for “Gypsy Rover,” 3, Chemistry Club, 4, Orchestra, 3, 4, Joke Editor of Blue And Gold, 3, 4. Words can't define him—he’s clev- er, bright and always on the go. ‘Goat is forever talking and is so humorous that one can not listen to him without nearly going into hys- terics. Everything he says there is always a joke in it. He is also our cartoonist. You usually know when Goat is around, for you either see some cartoons or hear his Ford. “Active always: talking ever. Witty and merry; decidedly clev- er.” NATHAN GRAUBARD “Nate” “Abie” “Ah, go on!” English Club, 1, 2. Science Club, 1. Civics Club, 1, Football. 1, 2, 3. 4. Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Football, 4, Delta Glut». 4, “Gypsy Rover,” 3. Peewee hails from the West Side. He thinks that high school is a won- derful place but for the classes which it is necessary to attend. His genial personality is an outstanding characteristic to whom more than one girl has wanted an introduction. As active as a Swiss ship, Fpon a Swiss ocean.” HERBERT EDWARD HILL “Eddie” “Hilly” “Fish” “Try and do it.” English Club, 1. 2, Science Club, 1, 2, Civics Club, 1.

His favorite pastimes are painting, driving a Ford and taking in shows.

Christmas Play, 4. “Gypsy Rov- er,” 3, Green Stockings,” 4, Delta Club, 4, Ass't. Manager of “Minia- ture Lady. Anyone can usually hear Jonesy when he is around. He makes so much noise. His major pastimes are eating and the, art of talking. No wonder he can play the trombone so well. We think he should take up lecturing instead of electrical work, although he is a good electrician. “To see him is to hear him.” GERMAIN LA BRECQUE “Frenchman” “What? V ? ” “Gypsy Rover” 3, English Club, 1, 2, Chemistry Club, 4. Band, Orch- estra, 4. Germain is a fellow who is always arguing, whether he is right or wrong. One of his aims is to be a forest ranger. We hope he suc- ceeds. His favorite saying is “What?” which is usually followed by a deep innocent look. Germain says he knows more French than any person in C. II. S. One day he slipped in French class and said something he should not. “Silence is golden—sometimes.” GEORGE KENTWORTHY LENTZ “Lentzie” “Sport Model” “Syd” “Done Shorthand.” English Club, 1, 2, 3, Science Club, 2, Spelling Bee. 3, “Gypsy Rover,” 3, “Miniature Lady,” 4. “Green Stock- ings, 4. President Student Council, 4, Commercial Club Play, 4, Ass't. Editor of Blue and Gold. George is one of the niftiest boys in our class. When Lentzie comes to school in the morning with those plus fours and that sweater and pat- ent leather haircomb, the girls just could not work the rest of the day. He is one of our biggest teasers and always full of mischief. He is inter- ested in most anything not pertain- ing to studies, especially girls. We don't know George’s ambition in life, but whatever it is, we just know there will be girls mixed up in it. “A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” JAMES EDWARD MELLON “Jimmie” “Gym” “Hoot Mellon” “Let’s go, Hewitt.” English Club, 1, 2, Civics Club, 1, 2, Science Club, 1. Jimmie is a true “blue-chaser.’ It is not known what percentage of his'' jokes were cracked unconsciously, but they have given the class and teachers many a hearty laugh. “A smile for all.” GEO. WASHINGTON MIDDLETON “Colonel” “Attorney “Get out!” “Aw, I say. don't.” English Club. 1. 2, Science Club, 1, 2, Delta Club, House Manager in Senior Play, 4. George appeared at first to be a very quiet boy, but he fooled us all. If at any time you happen to need a comedian, call on George. He cer- tainly entertained us in English class and put all of us in a good humor. He likes to study and burn gas. George’s favorite sayings are those of a bally Englishman—“Aw, I say, don't.” “Witty, courteous, liberal, full of spirit.” ROBERT PAUGH NEIL “Bob” “Neily” “Squire” “What do we have in shorthand tomorrow ?” Civics Club, 1, Football 2, 3. 4, Captain of Football team, 3, 4. Base- ball. 3. Class Track Team, 1, 2, 3, 4, Class Basketball. 1, 2, 3, Science Club, 2, English Club, 2. Commercial Club, 4, Vice-President of class, 4. Bob is one of our shorthand sheiks. He never knows what we have until he gets to class, but he always pulls through some way. He was our football captain this year and certainly did his work well. We hope he always keeps up that “fight- ing” spirit. “Who’s got his shorthand done? JOHN ELDRIDGE PRIZER “Jack” “Johnnie” “Jawn” What did you say?” English Club, 1, 2, Science Club, 1
