B T i TTE ° VHTTT] FRANCES G. JAMES 1 ‘ A quiet girl, yet a charming one. ’’ Frances is a girl with a wonderful voice. She is very talented and we predict that she will some day become a great singer. But Frances is not only talented in a musical way, for we understand she is quite a ‘ ‘ shark. ’ ’ Here’s hoping she has a most successful future. MARGARET JAMES “Fair, steadfast and demure.” Unfortunately this picture does not show the glorious color of Margaret’s hair. We are crazy about it. But then there are other nice things about her that are not shown in a pic- ture—her accomplishments. For she is a fine cook and a good housekeeper, too, we hear. In fact, there is hardly anything Margaret cannot do. GERALDINE JARVIS ‘A modest, becoming kind of a girl. ’ ’ That quotation just fits Geraldine. Also she has the reputation of beinig always on time and never absent, which is quite a wonder- ful reputation to have in Room 16. And—oh, yes, we understand that she likes to play the Victrola—especially in Chemistry. michael McDonald 11 Mathematics is the mind’s recreation. ’ ’ Mike is best known by his curly hair and unusual ability along the mathematical line. Mathematics is his hobby. He revels in hard problems. After school he carries mail for Uncle Sam. As a football player, also, he won distinction, adding much strength to the line by his steady playing. He is a “peach.” (A girl told us that.) Football Team VICTOR L. MASON ‘ ‘ To the victor belongs the spoils. ’ ’ We don’t mean by this that Victor is always in the midst of hostilities among his friends, for he is one of the quietest young men in our class. There is no doubt that he is a good sport with lots of pep when he needs it. “Vic” knows how to keep his teachers’ good will and has his lessons, more or less.

BLUE—WHITE GERALDINE L. HOLLAND ‘ 1 Happiness is no more than the faculty for being surprised.” If this is true, we really envy “ Gerry, ” who says often, “Life is so exciting!” And although we are slighted because she always yells for ‘ ‘ Bingo,’ ’ we 11 forgive her that. There doesn’t need to be single session to make Gerry exclaim at every bell, ‘ Oh, I’m so hungry! ’ ’ Gerry quite avoids 11 shark, ’ ’ whom she calls ‘1 Minnie Smellies ’’ and finds quite enough romance in the movies to suit her. MYRTLE MAE IIUGG ‘1 What ’s in a name ? ’ ’ Myrtle is what is officially known as a peach! With her ever-present smile, she’s always ready to help you out of a scrape and to lend her sympathy and brains in any crisis. A comedienne of note (didn’t you see the Senior Play?), a good student, and a true friend, Myrtle has certainly made a place among us and we all wish her the best of success. Color and Motto Committee Senior Class Play KATHERINE HUGHES 11 Laugh and the world laughs with you. ’ ’ It is mighty seldom that you see Katherine when she isn’t smiling and showing those wonderful dimples. By the way, those dimples make all the girls green with envy. We all wish we had black hair and rosy cheeks and especially dimples, like she has. She is one of the family of “good looking Hughes,” and E. P. A. is extremely fortunate in always hav- ing at least one member of this wonderful family. Senior Vaudeville Banner Committee JOHN LIDDY ’ ’ ’T ’is good will makes intelligence. ’ ’ John is a studious student and there are but few who can exhibit better report cards. He takes to his studies as the proverbial duck to water. A hard lesson holds no horrors for him. Do not infer, however, that he has time for nothing but his studies. John was active in class athletics and it is reported that he always opens his paper to the sporting page. Chairman Color and Motto Committee Class Basketball Forum WILLIAM LUTZ (1 Every inch a man. ’ ’ 11 Bill ’ ’ came to us from Syracuse last year and has proved himself a live one. He saw the “light” in the first of the year, and learned to dance. As for his liking the girls, well, watch in the library the second half of the third period. Beware, if you start to talk about autos, if you knock the 11 Overland. ’ ’ Here’s good luck to you, Bill, in Boston Tech.

I ILTJE—WHI E MARGARET JENSON “Giggle and your friends gig’gle with you.” We don’t think Margaret will ever really grow up. We aren’t sure that we want her to. Think how we would miss hearing her perpet- ual giggle and seeing her tearing through the halls. While one really might take her for a freshman, still, wre all know that she’s supposed to be a dignified Senior. HELENA J ESSEN ‘ ‘ Learning by study must be won. ’, That’s a dreadfully true statement. We know by sad experience, but Helena’s experi- ences in that line aren’t sad at all. She is one of the hopes of the class, one of our prod- igies. She wants to be a librarian, too. Would- n’t she make a nice one? And do you sup- pose she’d let us talk in the library? Helena doesn’t bother about boys—she supremely ig- nores then, in fact, but we predict that ’twill not always be so. MARIAN JOHNSON 11 What sweet delight a quiet life affords. ’ ’ Marian seems to be quite happy without much excitement, although she loves to play the piano, and dance. She is a “ peach ’ ’ when you know her, and has no crushes. She may soon be proving her worth as a nurse and we wish lie:’ the best of luck. DWIGHT MERRILL ‘1 This is the life for me. ’ ’ If you see a group of boys talking and you hear somebody say, ‘ ‘ The Oldsmobile is the only car to have,” that is “Buckeye.” His favorite sport is driving. But when he gets a puncture and has to fix it with the thermometer registering 90 in the shade, we doubt whether he still calls it his “favorite sport.” From what we know, 11 Buckeye ’ ’ has two ambitious, either to become a race driver or an electrical engineer, and whichever he takes up, we know he’ll become the leader in that line. “Blue and White” Board DONALD H. MILLER “A smile for every fellow; two for every girl.' ’ That is something the way Don’s motto would read and he lives up to it at all times, with especial emphasis on the latter part. We have yet to see the time when he gets really mad. It is not strange that everyone is his friend. He captained our class basketball team and much of the credit for its success belongs to him. He is our trusted treasurer. Class Treasurer Student Council Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Class Basketball Forum
