S . CLASS '25 BOOK Eleanor Frances Hawthorne A girl, light-hearted and content I wander through the ivorld Shorty would win the prize for being the shortest girl in the class, if Pearl would drop out of the contest. With her ruddy cheeks, her flaxen locks, and her lovely teeth, she is a vision of delight. Shortly after Christmas, she started to wear a fur coat which made the rest of the Seniors and the under classmen turn green with envy. Our only consola- tion is that she can't wear it graduation night. Vollev-ball, Track, Dramatic Club (1), Basket-ball (2). Priscilla Estella Hayes Is she not passing fair? Pussy has a soft sweet voice which softly sighs like a west wind. Her beseeching eyes which she raises with such an innocent air would melt the proverbial heart of stone. Those acquainted with Priscilla will always remem- ber her as one who shyly walks around the High School building. Pussy is so quiet that one might think she was trying to escape notice. Yet her quiet manner makes a good impression. Bertha Henderson A sweet attractive kind oj grace Bertha, with her fair skin, gentle gray eyes, and dark wavy hair, is one of the most attractive members of our class. Bertha, a part-time student helps Miss Miner every other week. She also does her share in keeping the traffic of the fourth floor in order.

AVCAV XXVIII 3 CLASS '25 BOOK Annie Frieda Guenther Honest labor bears a lovely face If you wish to read any of Shakespeare's plays or Lamb's Essays, seek Annie, and she will give you any book under the sun, for she keeps track of Miss Stratton's English books. There would be no need of marshals and afternoon sessions if we were all as silent and industrious as Annie. Annie never takes part in school activities, but friends from her home town, Cleghorn, tell us that she enjoys going to the movies, and likes to dance. Barbara Sargent Hackett Congratulations to Barb; one of the school's future artists. Her posters for the various school activities have been much admired. Her artistic ability is further dis- played in her devotion to the piano and the art of Pavlowa. How well we all remember the Black Bottom done to per- fection at the Junior- Senior Reception. Barb is a jolly friend, a good student, and a loyal supporter of the school sports. There are rumors that Barb will be a nurse, but we know that her career will end in happiness and a little white cottage.

Mildred Minerva Harland And still they gazed and still their wonder grew. That one small head could carry all she knew Dignified, modest, and unassuming are the three adjec- tives most applicable to our friend. Her dignity and seri- ousness are counter-balanced by just enough cheerfulness and humor. Mildred seems to enjoy her civics class and always manages to get a good mark on her tests. Ruth Mary Harley to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all Ruth is a veteran of General J. Edward Bouvier's army of vocalists. She thoroughly enjoys conversation, if we may judge by her expression. Her smile is so charming that it is not difficult to notice. She prefers the new F. L. cars with the leather upholstery to the old ones to take her to her little gray home in the West. Glee Club( 4). 26

AVCAV XXVIII CLASS '26 BOOK 3 Charles James Heslam, Jr. Gee, but I'm a busy man Jim is always studying. He is quiet in school, but at the games, his voice is heard above all others. He is one of the most interested followers of the big league games and the boxing matches. Jim spends his afternoons in keeping his father's crops free from bugs and weeds. What would we do for vegetables if he should go on a vacation? Jim is noted for his sunny disposition. Basket-ball (2-3-4), Baseball, Relay Team (3-4), Track (4). Karl Bremer Hoepfner He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map Karl shoots the Rapids each day without getting wet. His five years' sojourn abroad made him such a complete master of German that he no longer has any need to study it. His brown walrus-grained leather portfolio is not in- tended to make us believe him a member, of the faculty, but is for carrying home-work. Whenever the conversa- tion takes a jocular turn, a dozen spontaneous smiles light up and hide his face. Frederic Smith Huckins Happy is he who sees only clouds with silver linings Behold our Fred! This is the man who ran so fast in the Junior-Senior Relay that the Fire Department was called out to extinguish the cinders. Little would you think, gazing on his cherubic physiognomy, that here is one crafty in the lore of arousing Miss Gifford's militant spirit, but such is the fact. Fred may be found at any time clumping about the corridors and is a staunch attendant of football games, where he dutifully contributes even more than his share of the racket. Track (2), Relay (3), Debating Club (4). Catherine Mary lacoboni Always lighthearted and content That dancing ray of sunshine that flits through school is Catherine. She's as merry as the day is long. If she went on the stage with Mary Tasca, they could coin money as comedians. Catherine is well ver.sed in the Thespian art and frequently appears in our dramatic pro- ductions. The Debating Club, which once elected her Assistant-Secretary, claims her as a staunch scrapper. Catherine's snappy bob and her smart sport clothes make her an attractive young miss. Glee Club (2), Debating Club (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4).
