HAROLD ATKINSON BRONEK ALHOWIK Under the various titles of “Alek,” “Alhoozik,” and “Pest,” this little fellow is very much in the public eye. Like a little kitten, he gets mixed up in everything, and sometimes exasperates us, with his inquisitiveness. However, we are always patient with him, because he is very loveable. Bronek has shown his school spirit by his mem- bership in school organizations and his interest in athletics. He has his full share of brains, too, as you would realize if you could see the results he and Morong can get in the physics laboratory. We are very sure that, last year, he knew how to produce the most putrid effluviums in the chemistry class. Baseball letter. “Happy” has been rather incon- spicuous except on the ball field. His obscure position is due to the fact that he married quite early in life. He might have won the boys’ beauty contest, but why waste such an honor on a married man? Lots of other girls might cast sheeps’ eyes in his direction but they have a sense of fairness to the wife, or else they think it hopeless. His name, “Happy,” is most appropri- ate, for a quiet, sunny smile is al- ways on his face, except on the in- frequent occasions when a rather uncertain temper clouds his face, for the moment. This happens on- ly often enough for us to realize what a friendly disposition he really has. 28

JAMES BATES COURTNEY BICKERTON “Bicky” is always losing some- thing, especially teeth, rubbers, and school bags. Sometimes he even has to hold them so they won’t run away. He is another one of those athletic fellows, having been tackle on the football team, captain of the hockey team, and a baseball man. lie is always smiling and is a great fun lover. As first assistant janitor to Lampropoulos, he’s heaped quite a little pile of paper. But he’s cheerful under any kind of trouble ; so we all like to have him around. French Club; Boys’ Glee Club. “Dapper” came to us from Ded- ham, but as the old saying goes, their loss has been our gain. It was much to his blushing surprise that he was elected the best looking fel- low of the class. He’s an athlete too, having played on the football, hockey, and baseball teams. He’s one of those faithful souls who have a beaten path — from Boom 4 to the office upon Miss Allen’s “Tardy slip. Bates?” In the class day play, he was the handsome villain. All in all, he’s a good sport. Boys’ Glee Club; French Club; A. A. 30
