Truman McLean Baker Honest hearts make iron arms DiK:hy was one of our best athletes, for, during his High School career, he was a member of our basket ball, football, and baseball teams, and he wasn't half bad! He was a mighty lucky boy, too, for he played on that Squad B basket ball team which won every game it played. In his Junior year, he played on the Squad B football team which lost only one game. Added to this, Dutchy was a great scout and a regular sport ! Football (2-3), Baseball (2-3), Basket Ball (2-3-4), Glee Club (4). Junior-Senior Relay (3). Mary Grace Barbaro Beauty from order springs'' Maty was not the noisy type and would rather have kept some of her thoughts to herself than talk a great deal. Her sport interest was in track. Although she wasn't very active in class affairs, her interest was always there. Mary was a business student, training to join some office force. French Club (2), Track (2). Alice Mary Bingham ' An o unce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow Alice was a merry- soul with laughing eyes and cheery smile, charming to behold. She was a very competent driver, and each morning she guided her shining new Ford down from the top of Pearl Hill. Alice was busy afternoons helping Dr. Wilder, yet she found time to do her studying and was one of our honor students. Alice was an ardent devotee of the movies and in winter she was fond of skating. Roland Elmer Blake Courage mount eth with occasion We had a wonderful football team this year and Blakee was the captain. How he used to go after receiving a lateral pass from Secino I Besides this he was on our basket ball squad. He also took part in the Holy Citv and Messiah. Track (2). Football (2-3-4), Basket Ball (2-3-4). Holy City (3). Junior-Senior Relay. (3). Belle of Basdad (3). Mar- shal (3-4). Carl Werner Bock Let come what will, I mean to bear it out One didn't hear very much from Carl for he was a quiet chap. Everyone, including the teachers, who knew Carl, thought well of him, for he was head and shoulders above the ethers in scholastic ability. This- year, although Carl didn't make the football team, he kept plugging the whole season. The team owed this sort of fellow much, for it could do nothing without capable substitutes. Football (4). Marshal (4). Cecile Bordenave ' For she is the quiet kind whose nature never varies Cecile may be listed as one of the quietest girls of our class. We always saw her with an armful of books, which naturally explained the reason for her good marks. The persistent man- ner in which Cecile attacked her work promises her rapid advancement in office work. [ 12 ]

Aune Taimi Aalto 'Tis the mind that makes the body rich Aune maintained a splendid record through high school. She was on the high honor roll every marking. However, she was not the studious pupil who devoted all her time to studying as one would suppose by her marks. She was one of our best athletes. Hockey, basket ball, volleyball,— all these interested Aune. In short, she was an all around student. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), French Club (3-4), Hockey (4), Basket Ball (4). Esther Aho 7 he truly generous is the truly itise Esther was a quiet girl, living in a sequestered sphere of her own. For four years she came from Westnrnster to favor us with her very pleasing manner. Esther succeeded in keeping her real self from most of us, but nevertheless we heard from her friends that she was a very sociable companion. Priscilla Alden Sweet speaking oft a currish heart reclaims Priscilla was exceedingly shy, and sh? always recited in class in a very, very gentle voice, whereupon we all pricked up our ears to listen, for her answers were invariably correct. Very often indeed she won the coveted Very good ' from her teachers, and at this compliment she smiled and blushed so delightfully that even George Washington on the wall smiled in return. She planned to enter a business college after graduation and to be the Boss's right-hand man some day. Donald Pearson Allan Make much of men, good men are scarce Don was the best athlete in our class, and. in fact, in the whole school. He became quite fimous for his spectacular touch-downs; he knew how to shoot baskets; and he certainly could smash a baseball far out of bounds. We thought one reason for his ability was that Betty sent him home early whenever he made the trip to Shirley. At least, we hope she did. Anyway, he always seemed as fresh as a daisy, and we're inclined to think there was some magic behind it all. Glee Club (2), Football (2-3-4), Basket Ball (2-3-4), Base- ball (2-3-4), Junior-Senior Reception Committee (3), Class Book. Grace Helen Anderson ''Gentle of speech, beneficient of mind Grace was a quiet, studious girl who never failed to have her lessons done. She said her favorite sport was tennis although she was much interested in golf. After completing her high school education. Graoe intended to become a bookkeeper. Marshal (3-4). Barbara Gertrude Baker ' True as the needle to the pole Or as the dial to the Sun We thought of Barbara as true blue. Perhaps it was be- cause her eyes were blue, but more likely it was because she wasn't a bluff. She was always a good student. Barbara, though really of the quiet sort, was exceedingly fond of dancing. She was a part-time student and worked at the Normal School every other week where there were many good-looking fellows, which made work a pleasure. She in- tended to go to some business college when she finished h r course at F. H. S. Dramatic Club (3-4). [ 11 ]

Dorothy Edith Bosk The gentleness of all the gods go with thee Dorothy was one of our most talented girls, for she danced with exceptional grace and proved her drawing ability by being chosen as chairman of the art department for the Class Book. We often heard one of Dot's chums say, What an adorable dress you have on, and would you believe it, Dot actually made it herself ! We were told by Dot's summer friends that she was a second Gertrude Ederle in the water. She played hockey and starred in our track meets and on the basket ball floor. We wish Dorothy loads of success as a dancing teacher. Hockev (2); Track (2-4); Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Basket Ball (3-4), Palette Club (4), Marshal (4), Class Book. Barbara Bonnely Boynton Xot much talk — a great sweet silence Barby was tall and fair. She lived up on the South side and patronized the F. L. regularly. She was fond of tennis and basket ball and displayed considerable skill in winter sports. She was also interested in music and was a member of the Girls' Glee Club. Barbara planned to finish her education at a business college. Glee Club (2-4), Dramatic Club (4). Rudolf Ralph Brandt Better to be happy than wise Rudolf was a trapper, hunter, and a fox rancher. That was a big list, and it demanded much time, which was shown on his report card. Red might not have known that Milton had thre3 wives, but he could tell you where the mink and muskrat stay, which made him richer than if he merely appreciated L'Allegro. The College of Hard Knocks was to be his future alma mater, and night life in an ancient hack was one of his failings. Florence Mary Brown She that was ever fair and never proud Florence w7as probably best known for her exceptionally fine work in art. This she showed by her illustrations and posters for the Red and Gray. Sophomore year she was a member of the French, Dramatic, and Palette Clubs. Last year she belonged to the Dramatic Club. French Club (2), Palette Club (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Red and Gray Board (4). Marion Olivia Brown Virtue never grows old Marion was tall and fair. She had a pretty face and brown hair which she did up tightly at the nape of her neck. Her eyes were gray-blue and twinkling. Her gaze was very steady. Her hobby was reading and she was immensely interested in swimming and golf. Marion was a source of worry to Miss Miner because she preferred talking to typing. Mary Louise Burns Beauteous, she shines among the rest; tall, straight, slender, with all the Graces blest In Mary we found a pleasant personality. She had a charm- ing smile but a manner quite reserved. She made a fine center when she played basket ball during her Junior year. She in- tended to continue her studies in some business college.
