WILLIAM MARTIN AGOXIS “Bill” “Curly hair,” saith the sage, “is the gift of the gods.” Commercial Club (4). “Bill” is a very likeable chap of distinct personality. Many of his friends here in school think he is rather bashful and a confirmed woman-hater, but try and tell this to some people. “Bill” is undecided whether he will take over the manage¬ ment of the A. P. Store on Main Street or whether he will go to college. He is bound for success, anyway. ETHELYN ARLENE ALDRICH “Owen” “Knowledge rules the world.” President Pro Merito; Royal and Rem¬ ington Typewriting Awards; Exponent (2, 3, 4, Assoc. Editor 3, Editor-in-chief 4): Year Book Staff. Editor-in-chief; Pinafore” (2); Latin Club (3,4); Debat¬ ing Club (3, 4, Secretary 4); Assembly Orchestra (3, 4); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Student Council (3, 4, Clerk 3); Silver G; Valedictorian. “Owen” has been about the busiest girl in the Senior class. Besides being a member of the Pro Merito and Editor- in-chief of the Exponent, she has found time for out-door sports. She loves ten¬ nis and swimming, and is an especially good skater. “Owen” is always good- natured, and this has helped her win many good friends. We all wish her four happy years at Smith. BERNARD RIST ALEX “Bernie” “Born for success, he seems.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4); Baseball (1. 2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3. 4); President of Class (2); Senior Dance Committee (4); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Hi-Y (Secretary 2, 3, 4); Student Council (3); Prize Speaking (3). G. II. S. sports will not seem the same without “Bernie” playing. He is as popular with the girls as he is in ath¬ letics. Just recently he has taken up bridge playing. Wait and see, “Bernie” we won ' t tell all your purple moments. He is undecided about the future, but luck and success is with him wherever he goes or whatever he does. FRANCES ELLEN ALLEN “Fran” “The very pink of perfection.” Nice-President of Pro Merito; Year Book Staff; Belle of Barcelona” (1); “Pinafore” (2); “Pepita” (3); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Latin Club (3, 4); Archery Club (4); Salutatorian (4). “Fran” never giggles, never whispers (? ?) and always has all her lessons pre¬ pared. Her weakness is Corsiglia ' s drug store. We shall always remember “Fran” with mischief in her eye, for that’s just natural for her. She is un¬ decided as to what she will do next year, but time will tell. KATHLEEN ELIZABETH BAGLEY “Kay” “She is gentle, she is shy But there is mischief in her eye.” Year Book Staff; Dramatic Club (3, 4): Dancer in Operettas (1, 2); Secretary of Commercial Club (4); Secretary and Treasurer of Dramatic Club (4); Pro Merito; Royal and Remington Certifi¬ cates; Gregg Certificate; Filing Certifi¬ cate. Kay has been seen but not heard in the corridors of G. H. S. for she doesn’t believe in being noisy, but we surely would have missed her smile and sunny disposition. Kay’s” hobby is toe danc¬ ing, and she plans to travel to Europe in July to study this vocation. CHESTER BAKER “Chet” “Silence is Golden.” Football (3, 4); “Chet” is a quiet chap, but can you feature him being quiet in a football game? Girls never seem to bother “Chet” but he is quite a favorite with the boys. We hope that he will over¬ come his bashfuluess some day and give the “weaker sex” a break. Our good wishes travel with you in the future, “Chet.” RUTH ANN BALDWIN “Baldy” “A flower worthy of paradise” Archery (3, 4); Treasurer (3). Ann seems to be one of the quietest Seniors, yet when one really knows her, she is quite different. Her favorite sport is swimming, and on more than one hot summer’s afternoon her Ford may be seen at the swimming pool. Ann is planning to enter the Connecticut Women ' s College in the fall. PHILIP JOHN BANNACH Johnny” “Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time.” Spanish Club (3). A quiet, demure, little boy at times. At times, how true, for when he gets with the rest in Room 14, how things fly! As yet his future is undecided, but whatever your decision may be, Phil,” our best wishes go with you. ALBERT GETCHELL BARBER “Ai” “That was he! He played the game.” Exponent, Assistant Manager (3), Business Manager (4); Stage Manager (2, 3, 4); Science Club (1). “Al” will be much missed next year by the teachers in charge of dramatics, for he has spent much time during the last four years in arranging the scenery on the stage for the many performances presented there. We hear that he was “just the one” to have as business manager of the “Exponent” and also that he “made a good job of it.” KARL HOWARD BARDWEI.L “Bardy” “He is the chap who makes things hum.” Track (4). Wherever Karl is, there is a rumpus. Yet he must be able to keep still for a few moments at least, for we have heard that he holds a high office in the Order of De Molay. 15

GERALD BERNARD BATES “Jerry” “He who laughs last usually doesn’t get the joke.” Class Historian (4). “Jerry” is a big boy with the deep voice and sunny disposition whose wise¬ cracks and knowing smile are things which those, who are fortunate enough to be intimate with him, greatly enjoy. Miss Childs ' English class wouldn ' t be what it is, if it wasn’t for “Jerry’s” bril¬ liance. Although “Jerry’s” plans are indefinite we all hope that he will go through life, with that unsurpassed smile, as well as he went through school. DELIA ELIZABETH BELTON “Betty” “There is no fire without some smoke.” Filing Certificate; Basketball (2, 3, 4); Year Book Staff; Spanish Club (3); Commercial Club (3, 4); Vice-President Commercial Club (4). “Betty,” that tall, stellar center, is to basketball what mustard is to a hot dog. Many a game she has helped win for the girls of G. H. S. When posses¬ sion of the ball was wanted, “Betty” promptly got it, — a valuable player, “Betty.” Best-o-luck, “Betty.” HELEN LOUISE BENJAMIN “Benjie” “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” Royal Typewriting Award; Basketball, Second Team (3); Commercial Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3); Pro Merito. What a secretary Helen is going to make. She has everything, personality, ability and good looks. Helen is a quiet girl — to all those who do not know her intimately. Lots of people like to play tennis with her, but with such a teacher as Helen, who wouldn’t play? Success to you, Helen. CLINTON WILLIAM BERRY “Clint” “Still waters some day reach the Cascade.” Science Club (2); Aviation Club (4). “Clint” is the dark, curly-headed lad with the inclination to be always into some sort of harmless mischief. When he and his pal, Bates, get together there is sure to be some fun. “Clint” has been an active member of the newly organized Aviation Club. The Science Club has its interest for him too, as he regularly attends all the meetings. ANNIE HELEN BIRCH “More desirous than fame is friendship.” Commercial Club (3, 4); Chorus (3, 4). Annie” is an athletic little Senior who surely knows her basketball. She played on the class teams her four years and set the league on fire with her spectac¬ ular play. She is no mean baseball player either and many a boy has watched her, with envy, hit the ball far and wide. EDITH MABEL BISHOP “Edie” “She was of a gentle nature.” “Edie” is one of the quiet Seniors who is gifted with a “Crown of glory.” Per¬ haps her ambition is to be a modiste for she takes sewing and can tread a wicked sewing machine. At present she is interested in Gardner, but has not revealed any future plans. ROBERT TROST BITTERS “Bob” “Write me as one who loves his fellowmen.” Pro Merito; Football (2, 3, 4); Basket¬ ball (1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4); Track (1, 2, 3); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); President of Class (1, 4); “The Boob” (3); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Hi-Y (Treasurer, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (3); Dramatic Club (3, 4, President 4); Silver G (3, 4). “Bob” is our red-headed President, an all-round sport, name anything, basket¬ ball, football, baseball, or just inciden¬ tals. In spite of all this he wants to be an engineer. We assure Ohio Northern they have captured a prize. EARL HALL BOUTWELL “Boute” “Mild — yet he satisfies.” “Pinafore” (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4); Assembly Orchestra (4). Another shy boy! My, we have a lot of them. But Earl ' s not shy on speed for he can be seen almost any morning taking the corner on two wheels in his Bitick. Earl plans to go to the Cleve¬ land Air Races this summer and to Wentworth this fall. ERNEST BROCKLESBY “Ern” “Silence is as deep as eternity.” Baseball, second team (2); Track (1). “Ern” doesn’t have much to say to anyone but he gets there just the same. Although he is quiet, he has a good many friends in and out of school. He says he has no future plans, but anyhow we wish him luck. CECIL BROWN “Cecil” “Be glad and your friends are many.” Band (1). Although Cecil may seem quiet, he is really full of fun. He is so busy working that he hasn’t had much time to devote to school affairs. Nevertheless, his class¬ mates will miss him greatly, for his good nature brightens up the class¬ rooms. 16
