BLUE AND GOLD To Mary Rupton we leave Alan Earl’s ability to roam around without becoming lost. We feel that Mary does not see enough, living so close to the school, and this would help her gain a better knowledge of her surroundings. To Margaret Wildrick we leave Dorothy Crossmore’s quiet reserved, dignified, and studious nature. We hope this will be gladly accepted and greatly appreciated. Betty P'amous’s red hair we leave to Julia Travaglini, although Betty sure does hate to part with these charming tresses. We hope, Julia, that you will love and care for it as Betty has done and we know that with your curls and this hair you should have the most wanted hair in school. Then, too, we leave Betty’s good-natured disposition to Edna Taylor. May it be a benefit to you, Edna, as it was to Betty. Rebecca Lobb’s ability to type we will to Herbert McQuirns. With this asset “Herb” ought to be able to accomplish something in the art of typing.. “Tony” Travagline leaves his ability to chatter and make wise remarks to Emma Kirkpatrick. But, we hope at the same time that they will not cause Emma too much trouble as they have for Tony this year. The many giggles of Violet Mrozek we leave to Virginia Lobb and Leo Bogdan. May this provoke laughter from these never smiling lips and, therefore, attract more attention. Donald Diesinger leaves his ability to break forth into a song at the most inopportune time to “Walt” Cummins. This will be a great help to Walt when he starts to croon to that certain girl on Xarcissa Road. The ever-seeing form of Emma Yost we will to Jean Coventry. Jean, with this asset, should be well known and liked by next year. And last but not least, we leave “Dick” Tee’s ability to attract attention by his clowning habits to Walter Blackburn and Morris Graubard. We feel that this is too great for any one member to be burdened with, and we hope they will use them to a better advantage than Dick has done during his four years. Again to the Faculty we leave our heartiest congratulations on having turned out such an excellent class. We hope that they will forgive us for the many heartaches and pains that we have caused them during our four years and for which we are indeed sorry now. We hereby do make, designate, and appoint “Gump” Earl to be the executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals this eighteenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-one. Members Of The Class Of 1931 Sealed and published by the Class of 1931 as their last will and testament, in the presence of who at their request, in their presence, and in the presence of each other have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses: Obe Swift Lindenmuth A. Lotta Speed Mosley Lena Genster Carrie Bundles James F. Hipple. Page Twenty five

BLUE AND GOLD The Class ©f 1931 As We See Them Lester Russell Abbey “Les” “Hello Baby” Band (1, 2, 3. 4): Orchestra (1. 2, 3. 4). Squak, squak. eek! ! What in the world could that terrible sound be that we forever hear coming from the portals of our auditorium ? Why it's no other than “Les” himself playing on his Clarinet, which we know is one of the hobies of “Les.” and which he has used to good advantage during his High School career by playing in the C. H. S. Orchestra. And did you say talk? Why he is the Champion wise-racker of the class and surely does love to entertain the ladies with his wise remarks. But we hear that “Les” has one favorite listener who is also musically inclined and he is oft times seen in the evenings, wending his way towards the home of this dark-haired Miss, who resides in Spring Mill. “Les,” we wonder is it to practice music or tell her some new joke or ?-? ! ! Well, anyhow Les, two musically inclined people in the same family generally are a success in life. So no matter if you intend joining the Marines or follow a musical career, we, the class of 1931 wish you lots of luck in the future. Elizabeth Jarrett Ambler “Betty” “My Word” Glee Club (2); Skidding (3). Did you say S'amese twins? Well that sure goes for Elizabeth and Clara for they are constantly seen together and we wonder what Betty will do without Clara after all the good-byes are said in school, but at that we suppose it is for them to decide, as for Elizabeth we know she will be able to do great things at Earlham College as she was always known to be a very good student during her four years’ stay with us. Elizabeth also came into great prominence during her Junior year in the dramatic circles for it was then that she made her debut on the stage. She is also one in whom can be placed much confidence and Betty is as good as her word. Besides being reliable we also hear she has made quite a name for herself in the music profession. To you Elizabeth our best wishes go wdth you and we hope that “Earlham” will appreciate you as much as we have done in C. H. S. Woodrow Wilson Eecker “Beck” “Gimmie a Gopher” Baseball (2, 2. 3. Captain, 4); Football (1. 2. 3. 4). Did you say wisecracker? We should say so when it comes to Woodrow “Wilson” Becker. And the most peculiar part about him is that he very seldom cracks a smile. For this reason he became the most likable chap and is very popular among the student body. “Beck” is quite an athlete and was the star center of the football team; he was also captain of the baseball team and has led the team through a very successful season. He is always ready to help a friend in need, especially the fair sex. But to do so, he needs quite a bit of encouragement and persuasion, for you know “Beck” becomes quite flustered and blushes very easily, which he says reflects from his hair, but we know better. But now to put all kidding aside. Woodrow is quite serious at times and is a good fellow to have around, so we feel sure that he will be successful in his later life. Good luck to you. “Beck,” from the Class of 1931. Sylvia Rhea Blasband “Sil” “Good Heavens!” Manager of Girls’ Basketball (4); Glee Club (1. 2): Orchestra (3. 4); Debating Team (4); Recording Secretary of Class (8. 4); Blue and Gold Staff (4); Valedictorian of Class. An excellent memory is a great asset to be proud of and Sylvia is the very proud owner of one. How she remembers so much from books is and always will be a mystery to us. But because of this and her very studious nature she has had the honor conferred upon her as valedictorian of the class. Congratulations. Sylvia is also a lover of good music and has been the high school pianist for a number of years and we must say. she has aided us and the school very much in the musical lines this year. Although small in stature. Sylvia is one of the best little dancers of the class and we’re mighty proud to have such a young lady with such an abundance of brains, determination and personality. Sylvia is not sure as yet what she intends to do in the future but whatever you choose Sylvia, we are sure that you will rank with the best. Success to you. Sylvia, you deserve it, from the Class of 1931. Vincent Jacob Bonkoski “Bounce” “No kiddin’ ” Treasurer of Class (2): Orchestra (1): Football (1. 2. 3. Captain. 4); Basketball (1, 2. 3. 4); Baseball (1. 2. 8. 4): Jerry of Jericho Road (3); It’s the Climate (4); Dulcy (4); Oh! Doctor (4). Bounce is short and heavy set. He is a lover of sports. Can he play football ? ! ! Ask our onnonentu. they know. Besides this, he is a capable baseball and basketball player and he can therefore be judged as an all-around athlete. This battleship of sports also is a great lover of music and was the stellar attraction in that line of entertainment in the school. Vincent can never be accused of being haughty for he makes friends with all and one finds a real cheerful friend in Bounce. He is also known as th? heavy lover when it comes to dramatics, and we feel that he should put this ability to practice in actual life, for it is very seldom that we see Vincent with a member of the opposite sex. and we would hate to see such a likeable fellow go through life without a better half. He has high aspirations and has selected for his life work, music. We are sure he will succeed because such determination as he has will surely bring success to him. Go to it. The Class of 1931 is with you. Page Tu enty-Seven
