TRIPOD HELEN LEONE -JEANETTE The senior class of Crown Point High School proudly presents the Bruce triplets—Helen, Leone, and Jeanette, alike as “three peas in a pod,” and yet decidedly different to us who know them so well! All three girls especially like steaks, frozen salads, and hot fudge sundaes, while Leone alone does not. care for vegetables. They are very sports minded, even in their taste for clothing. The favorite sports of the girls are swimming, basketball, baseball, and tennis; while they hope to be active in many college sports, also. Helen plans to become a dietetics teacher; Leone wants to be an athletic director; and Jeanette will study commercial work. Helen seems to be the older in disposition, and somewhat more mature in mannerisms. When the triplets were away from their parents as children, she was the s pokesman, and is perhaps more positive in her likes and dislikes. Leone became an athletic enthusiast in high school. She is light-hearted, laughs easily, and seems able to get some pleasure out of nearly everything that takes place. Jeanette pursues a good time with a perseverance that never gives out. She is always ready for another trip, another party, or another game, whether close at hand or far away. After they started to school, it was the experience of most of the teachers not to know the children apart for the first few months, and then before the year was out, the teachers would be telling Mr. and Mrs. Bruce that the children did not look alike, but that they had pronounced differences in their interests. It was noticeable that Helen took an interest in draw¬ ing and painting, and that Leone had a marked interest in athletics. Jeanette devoted a great deal of time to music, and Helen practically none. School has seemed to take on an added interest for all the girls as they have grown older; and in high school the girls have responded to the activities program provided by the present-day school methods, until their Dad has com¬ plained lest the activities overshadow the school work itself.
