PURPLI I MARY BLEASIUS “Q” ’18, '19; French '17; A. A. ’18, '19. - Now why in the world should Mary Bleasius need a write-up?” She is so well-known and so well liked by all '19—by all H. H. S., to be exact—that nothing can be added to her fame by mere written words. Mary has had apart in almost everything that has ever happened during her four years of High School life—class plays, for instance, and any number of club en- tertainments. And she’s such a pretty, witty girl that she counldn’t holp but become popular. Thank goodness T9 has Mary Bleasius as a meml er. That excellent complexion, which did steal the eyes of young, and old.”—Pericles. PAULINE BOARDWAY “Q T8, T9; R. T. C. T9; Mandolin T9; A. A. T7, T8, T9. It seems almost foolish to attempt to write up “Paul” Boardway. There is so much to say al out her, and besides, everybody knows all there is to say. That’s the penalty for being one of the most popular members of T9. Paul” is what is known as “peppy.” She has taken in everything in school life with a will, and every- thing she has gone into has improved with her presence—witness all three glass plays. Then she was elected one of T9’s prophets, and has certainly lived up to her reputation for clever- ness in her prophesies. Indeed, “Paul” is all we would have her—and more too. Do you not know I am a womanf What I think I must speak.”—Shakespeare. HELEN BOGART Q T8 19; R. T. C. T9; French T9; , A. A. T8, T9. Lo! Our accomplished Helen appears. Few, indeed, are the people who would not claim Helen's friendship. She is one of T9’s most popular girls—popular—with both sexes, mind you. Helen is a member of “Q” Club’s now famous quintet. Indeed she is quite an accom- plished musician. The way in which she aided the class musician in playing those wonderful duets is now a matter of comment to all. Then, too, Helen can act. In the Sophomore play as well as in all Q” Club entertainments, Helen was a “leading light.” There’s absolutely nothing Helen Bogart can’t do. For, O, love’s bow shoots buck and doe!”— Shakespeare.

PURPLE AND WHITE BEATRICE BENTLEY “Q” ’1», ’19; R. T. C. ’18; French T7, ’18; A. A. ’18, '19. Happy-go-lucky “Bee” Bently is no new occurence for T9. She’s one of the kind of girls that can do anything, and do it well—without a doubt, that is the reason why we elected her our secretary for this—our Senior year. And “Bee” is awfully amusing. She’s just as witty as she is pretty—a very nice kind of a girl to have around. Of course we don’t need to mention the fact that “Bee’ has taken part in all our class plays. Why shouldn’t she, with all her talent in that line? She's musical, too—plays jazz beauti- fully with the rest of that famous Mandolin Club. Didn’t we hear her perform at the 1919 “Q” Club vaudeville show? Indeed, “Bee” deserves the fame she has won in T9. “She's pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on. —Suckling. DORA BERMAN Q” T9; French T8; A. A. T9. In disproof of Virgil’s famous statement that “Woman is fickle and changeable always,” we produce Dora Berman. Isn’t it a pity that T9 can’t boast of more girls like Dora? And still her presence among us repays us for whatever else we lack. Come what may, you’ll always find Dora the same good natured, easy going, and lovable girl. Whoever saw her “rattled?” Would that we all had such wonderful disposi- tions. Is it any wonder, then, that when we mention her name, everyone brightens up and says, Dora’s a good sport!” T9 is proud of you, Dora Berman. “A fair exterior is a silent recommendation.”— Syrus. GERTRUDE BILZ “Q” T9. Girls like Gertrude make the world run smooth- ly. She is not very lively, never bowls one over when dashing blindly around the corners in the corridors as many of our girls have a habit of doing, but, nevertheless, always “gets where she’s going.” She smiles the live-long day. We, her friends, can’t understand how she keeps on the perpetual grin, in the face of the hardships which we are continually enduring. Every- body likes you, “Gert” Bilz, and we are glad to have this opportunity of saying so. “Can we ever haze too much of a good thing}”— Cervantes. 24

 PURPLE ND WHITE MIRIAM BROUDY “Q” ’19; R. T. C. ’19; A. A. ’19. Miriam Broudy conies next on the Senior Roll. She’s such a bright, pretty girl that '19 can’t help but like her. She's always on the go, but despite her constant hurry, she always has time to give a cheerful word to everybody. She is fond of athletics, featuring on some of '19’s most famous teams. And besides, she is a splendid student. It isn’t very often that one finds such a good all-round girl. “ Her heart is as far from fraud, as Heaven is from Earth. —Shakespeare. I KRNA HRUNN “Q” '18, '19; German ’17, ’18; Classical '19; A. A. ’17, ’18, '19. Erna Brunn is a regular, good-all-round-girl and we know of no higher compliment to pay any- one. She is a “shark,” a real “shark,’’ one of those scarce individuals who just seem naturally to know everything without even opening a book. She is everything an ideal girl should be—neat, thorough in her work, never grouchy, always happy, modest, quiet when with quiet people, lively at times, sympathetic in everything. We like her exceedingly. N. B. She also belongs to that select circle of Romans known as the Classical Club. This is a silent recommenda- tion for anyone. To he gentle is the test of a lady.”—Feltham. EVADINE CADY Q” T9; R. T. C. T9; A. A. T6. Evadine Cady is one of the jolliest members of a jolly class. She’s a most cheerful individual— always has a smile for everyone. In fact, I’ve never seen her sad. Perhaps that is her chief characteristic. Anyway that is the reason we all like her so well! And Evadine possesses not only a bright smile but a bright mind as well. Those of us who have been lucky enough to be in her classes realize what a “shark” she is. Here’s to you, Evadine, foryou r future welfare! “Good sense and good nature are never separated, though the ignorant world has thought otherwise. —Dryden. 26
