class 29 book John James Bebick Facts are stubborn things. John comes to us from the vicinity of Water Street. He believes the quotation above is absolutely true. John is interested in all sports, especially skating. According to his own accounts, he shines on the skating rink — but, we wonder, for he had a sly grin on his face when he told us this.

His new Ford is the envy of many of his classmates. Joe is fast becoming the jester of Mr. Dooling's si, th hour class because of his store of questions. We understand Joe is going to be an airplane mechanic. Urho Veikko Bishop His enemies shall lick the dust! We feel that I rho will probably become a chauffeur for someone later on in life, for he is already quite e.xperienced as he has taken his sister here and there all summer in his Ford. Repairing this car stands in a fair way to becom- ing a life business. Alas, he, too, was one of those cast out into th e world when the industrial course died. Gertrude Evelyn Blake To all her smile extends. Gert has a smile in store for everyone. She does not believe in worrying or studying too much and is never seen with a cloudy face. She is always the center of at- traction in a crowd, for her gay, talkative manner draws all to her. Gert's artistic talent has made considerable impression on us. Her drawings in the Red and Gray as well as her work in the Class Book have received deserved praise. Her greatest sorrow was the graduation of a mem- ber of 1928. [12]

Marge may be found chatting happily into the long- distance telephone, reading several daily letters, or lost in day dreams inspired by the wails of a phonograph.

Dorothy is one of the most popular senior girls. She is very pretty and a talented actress and pianist. She has generously contributed her musical ability to many of our musical programs.
