Ruth always has a smile and a kind word for everyone, which accounts for her many friends. She has been called quiet, but not by those who really know her. Ruth is a ready participant in any fun. Strangest of all. however, she takes her studying seriously. ALICE MAE BRYANT “Al” “I like fun and I like jokes ’Bout as well as most the folks.” O. G. A. Shorthand Pin; Royal Certifi¬ cate; Basketball (1, 2); Captain Class Team (1); Year Book Staff; Commercial Club (3, 4, Treasurer 3, President 4). “Al” is the girl who always has a serious (?) look on her face. Wherever fun is, “Al” can usually be found. Her pleasing personality and good nature make her a favorite wherever she goes. We know that “Ed” will agree with this. “Al” plans to enter the business world next year. WILLIAM EMERSON CALDWELL “Bub” “All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.” Hockey (1, 4); Exponent (2, 3, 4); Vice President of Class (3); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Band and Orchestra (1, 2, 3. 4); Dramatic Club (4); Student Council (4). Everybody knows this quiet (?) little Senior for he has been popular during his high school career. He was recently elected president of the school band. He is also a member of our assembly orchestra where we see him playing away on his clarinet. “Bub” is dramatically inclined (?) for he had a part in the Senior play. Wasn’t he clever, though? There is a certain dark¬ haired Sophomore — but that’s for him to tell. . ROY EDWIN CALL “Ed” “He says little but thinks much.” Class Basketball (3). “Ed” is a quiet fellow and never has much to say. Although you have not heard much about him he has many friends. He was a prominent member of the class basketball tournament in his Junior year. KATHERINE ELIZABETH BULMAN Kay” “All are not saints who go to church.” Exponent (4); Glee Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3); Science Club (4). Everyone knows “Kay,” that cheerful person who enlivens dull periods. She is one of the jolliest members of the class, but more than that, she is a friend to everyone. Kay’s outside interests have kept her very busy, but she has made many lasting friends here. She plans to return next year and take a post¬ graduate course. THELMA ROSAMOND CARPENTER “Thel” “Silence is woman’s best ornament.” Senior Commercial Club (4). Thelma is one of the many members of G. H. S. from North Parish. She plans to go to school when she leaves high school and we wish her loads of luck. NORA MAE BURKHARDT “Nannie” “Humor is the spice of life.” Nora is a girl who believes in looking on the sunny side of life. Although she hasn’t taken an active part in school activities, she has made a host of friends during her four years here. Nora is very witty and never worries about her studies. As for the future, Nora is as yet undecided. LOUISE HOWES CARSON “Kit” “And what she dares to dream of She dares to do.” Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Exponent (4). Louise has been one of these girls who always likes school (?). Well, never mind that, “Kit,” for we know that you have a big heart. Whether it’s to Stone- leigh or Katherine Gibbs School that you go, we know you ' ll have a good time. MARY AGNES BURNS “Mary” “With a roguish glint in her eyes.” Commercial Club (3, 4); Chorus (3, 4). Mary has not taken part in many scholastic events although she is known by many of her classmates. Mary is one of those ambitious girls; she wants to go to work when she leaves G. H. S. EILEEN MARY CAVANAUGH “Cavie” “Why can’t they all be contented like me?” Eileen’s thoughts are in Orange at present but she still thinks of G. H. S. She has not made up her mind yet what she wants to be, whether a hair dresser or a nurse. 17

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

She is also a studious person, for she is a member of Pro Merito. She is undecided whether it will be “Hamp” Commercial or Bay Path next year.

The class of ’32 wishes lots of luck to “Jan.” We all know she will be a great success in whatever she under¬ takes. Her charming personality has won her many friends during her high school days. She goes many places in her car but M. S. C. seems to be one of her favorites. She hasn’t really decided what she will do next year. HELEN ALICE CICHY “Chickie” “Quiet, but all the more worthy.” Glee Club (3, 4); Commercial Club (3, 4). Helen is one of the quiet members of the class of ’32, although we are sure she has plenty to say to her pal. Rose, for the two are inseparable. Helen has been a member of the Glee Club and Commercial Club. All her classmates wish her luck in her commercial studies. CHESTER COOK CONANT “Chet” “Talking is one of the finer arts.” Hockey (4); Hi-Y (4); Science Club (2, 3); Aviation Club (4). Noisy all day long is typical of “Chet,” but a dull life it would be were there not any like him. If anyone ever heard a great commotion in Room IS, he didn’t have to ask who was the cause. He used to be called bashful but seems to have outgrown that stage. ROBERT EDSON CLARK “Bob” “Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” G. H. S. Syncopators (3, 4); High School Orchestra (1, 2); Assembly Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4). “Bob” is the shy, peace-loving fellow, who does not shout about his success, but accomplishes whatever he sets out to do. During his four years at G. H. S., he has played in all the orchestras at one time or another. What would the Syncopators do, without “Bob ' s” croon¬ ing sax? Bob’s plans are undecided, but we feel he will be a success at whatever he undertakes. DAVID PERRY CONANT “Dave” “I would rather make my name than inherit it.” Science Club, Treasurer (2, 3, 4); Archery Club (4); Aviation Club (4). David, unlike his brother, is seldom heard. He enjoys repairing automobiles and going fishing and hunting. When¬ ever anyone wishes to know something about autos he can get all the informa¬ tion he wishes from “Dave.” We know he will some day be a successful mechanic. VIRGINIA RUTH CLEVELAND “Jinny” “Those who are pleased themselves must always please.” Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Archery (3); “Pinafore” (2). “Jinny” is one of our tallest girls, who, in spite of her shyness, has won many friends by her charming smile, and mis¬ chievousness in the classroom. She is al so interested in sports, having gone out for basketball and field hockey. We musn’t forget her scholastic endeavor too, for her name has appeared on the honor roll many times. ELIZABETH PAULINE CONWAY “Lib” “I had indeed the folly to write it, but the wit to keep it to myself.” Elizabeth works untiringly at her studies but still has time to make friends with everyone. “Actions speak louder than words,” is the slogan which fits this quiet maiden. Here’s hoping you will be as successful after High School as you have been here. CAROL MAY CLIFFORD “Clara” “Her sunny locks hang on her temples like golden fleece.” Royal, Remington Typewriting Awards; Belle of Barcelona” (1); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Commercial Club (4). Who doesn’t know our own “Clara Bow,” Carol? She is the girl with the beautiful hair, who in spite of a natural reserve, has taken an interest in music and belonged to the Glee Club and been in an operetta. Carol has also made a record as a typist, and her fellow class¬ mates wish her the best of luck. OLLIE MAE COOK “Ollie” “She who achieves success does so because she has prepared for it.” Pro Merito; Latin Club (4); Student Council (4). Ollie is one of those people who believe in being seen and not heard. Ollie is heard in the classrooms though, when it is time to recite. She always knows her lessons and is willing to help anyone less fortunate. Although Ollie has been very quiet, she is a favorite among her classmates and we know she will succeed in whatever she undertakes in the future. 18
