PERSONAL HISTORY WITH PICTURES EVELYN BAMFORD Here’s “Bant” the hustler of the class, talks slang a mile a minute, and is always late for classes. Al- though not given the title of “Class Bluffer” she comes in a close second. She is leader of the “Girls’ Glee Club” and an indispensable member of the school orchestra. Besides being skilled in foreign languages, she is also a marked essayist. JULIUS BEAN “Beanie” is one of our hard working classmates (there are very few) and is going to enter Harvard next fall. He should make quite a Rah, rah boy. Beanie is a good actor and did great work in the senior play and is besides a line violinist. RUTH BROWN What should we do without Ruth ? She plays the piano in chapel and can always pound out the latest jazz at a minute’s notice. Many are the times she has played for us at class socials. She is a jolly, pleasant girl and well liked by everyone. HELEN BRUCE “Brucie” is one of our merriest classmates. She has a very sweet tooth and recess usually finds her haunting the vicinity of the candy room. She is very generous, so needless to say, she is very popular. 10

Leo Dondero — “Short of stature he was, but strongly built and athletic, Broad in the shoulders, deep-chested, with muscles and sinews of iron.” Ruth Gilday — “Of lively look all griefe for to repell with right good grace.” Phyllis Girard — “Those happy smiles That played on her ripe lip.” Jonathan Hall — “Sand home my long stray’d eyes to me Which oh ! too long have dwelt on thee.” Arnold Hamilton — “For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every art.” Hollis Hamilton — “He speaketh not; and yet there lies A conversation in his eyes.” Nancy Homans — “Soul of the age ! Th’ applause! delight! the wonder of our stage.” Robert Kent — “Who would be rather a great monster than a well proportioned man.” Elsie Manzer — “Art thou pale for weariness?” Elsie Marr — “Skilled in the ogle of a roguish eye.” Olive Pace — “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair Like twilight too, her dusky hair.” George Porter — “Of his stature he was of even length. And wonderly deliver and great of strength.” Paul Raupach — “When you have nothing to say, speak with silent eloquence.” Helen Rogers — “Still to be neat, still to be drest As you were going to a feast. Still to be powdered, still perfum’d.” Catherine Ryan — “Who laughs to scorn the wisdom of the schools And thinks the first of poets the first of fools.” Dorothy Shaw — “In the chimney of memory regard me as a brick.” Albert Spyut — “Fair haired, pure eyed, with delicate complexion. Having the dew of his youth and beauty thereof.” Beatrice Tufts — “A woman tropical, intense In thought and act, in soul and sense. She blended in a like degree The vixen and the devotee.” Roseltha Witham — “Fair was she to behold That maid of eighteen summers.” Althea Whittier — “A mistress moderately fair And good as guardian angels are.” 9

JAMES BURKE “Jimmy’ ' is president of the senior class and of the Athletic Association. He has a streak of stubborn- ness in his makeup which is apt to get him into trouble at times. James used to be bashful as a little freshman but this is gradally disappearing. WILLIAM BURKE “Billy” is the handsomest boy in the class but “handsome is as handsome does” and Billy is rather a pest as everyone is willing to testify. He has al- ways made it a point to disagree with everyone else in class meeting for, to quote Billy himself, “What is a class meeting for if not to argue?” BERNICE CONNOR Bernice is one of the Commercial pupils. Her favorite subject is typewriting, but somehow she always seems to be getting into trouble in there. The week is very rare when we do not see Bernice wan- deiing toward the office in the middle of the type- writing period. ANITA DANIELS Anita, quite in keeping with her title of class saint, is very quiet and demure. She is the treasurer of the class of 1923 and is very conscientious in this work as in all other. 11
