GERTRUDE M. RECTENWALD M Club 4; Captain Crossbones 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Mamzelle Taps 1. Seems as though Gertrude has a great attraction outside of Bast, which claims most of her spare time.

In future years, we hope to hear more of him. WILLIAM RICART Folks this is ‘‘Bill”, “King of the Queens”! The fair sex is Bill’s most important subject. He is a good student also, and we know that he will succeed, even if his heart is sometimes crowded with thoughts of a certain someone.
