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.

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.

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 ]

Maurice Julius Burwick ' He could on either side dispute Maurice was one of our busiest classmates and took part in many school activities. Besides his duties as a member of both school publications and the tennis team. Maurice found time to become one of our most promising actors in the Dramatic Club. He also discovered the Debating Club a con- venient outlet for his argumentative abilities. His sense of humor and easy conversation gained for him many friends amone both sexes. Maurice was planning to attend Tufts College where we wish him the best of success. Councillor (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Debating (2).

John Sebastian Cali He is always in such perfect humor John, we must say, certainly possessed a good sense of humor. He was constantly amusing the 6th hour chemistry class with his witty sallies. Even though he didn't seem to overexert himself, we know from observation of his recitations that he did studv. Debating Club (2). Anthony Bernard Celuzza A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind Tony was the rising Mark Antony of the Senior class — or almost. All joking aside, Tony showed dramatic possibilities to a marked degree in all his undertakings. A sense of humor well timed was uppermost in him. and Tony wa s often the center of a crowd of fun-loving pupils.

Ralph Albert Chamberlin am the very pink of courtesy Ralph's guiding flash-light was sure to usher us to our seats whenever we went to Shea's Theatre. He must have been a treasure to his employer, for girls from school always pre- ferred Shea's to any other theatre. At Christmas-time, he made a jolly Santa Claus at Parke Snow's, and he certainly gave us a big laugh. Ralph wanted to go to Annapolis. We certainly hope he gets there, because, he'd look great in his uniform. Daphne Louise Christian Circumstances over which I have no control Daphne was a short girl, with jet black hair. Her mischievou.- flashing eyes seemed to go well with her movements, for she simply jumped from one place to another. She was interested in athletics for girls, and her quick movements were an asset on a basket ball court. Picture Daphne in a little cap and a stiffly starched uniform, for she intended to go in training for a nurse next vear. Basket Bali (2-3-4), Track (2-3). Volleyball (2-3). Michael Anthony CiofB Time and I against any two Mike was very much interested in all school athletics, but particularly in baseball and football. He went out faithfully for baseball in his Sophomore and Junior years, with the re- sult that he was elected captain of the Senior baseball team. Such faithfulness is always rewarded — who knows but what he is aiming to occupy Babe Ruth's shoes. Everybody liked Mike for his cheerful outlook on life and — studies. Baseball (2-3-4). [ M ]
