ALICE MARY BARB ER The most astonishing thing about this young lady is the fact that she is graduatin ,Gin three years. Believe me, this is all the concrete ecfs to understand the determination of Alice. M r , ' gaze on her calm countenance it is impossible to believe that at the end of those dainty linger tips lies the touch of a musi- cian. It is known that a long suffefing neighbor at length contemplated suicide. But, putting allijwcing aside, the class of '29 'give her their best wishes imlher musical career. OLGA RITA BARINA Here is Olga. She has been with us but a small part of these four years, but we have followed her progress at the Conservatory and are proud that she is one of us. Everyone knows that the violin is her career, and with the aid of her natural talent and a charming personality, Olga can't help but continue to win friends and be a grand success in the field of music. Good luck, Olga. ELIZABETH ANN BARRUS Spring Concert 2, 3, 4g Tennis Z3 Varsity Hockey Team 25 Varsity Basketball Squad 4g Le Cercle Francais 45 Choral Club 4, Tattler Board 4, Annual Board, Art Editor 4, Cheerleader 4, Senior Stunts 49 Traihc Othcer 2, 4, Five Year Club. How did we all rate this book with Bee as Art Editor? Although Cleopatra left us last year to give the natives a treat in Porto Rico, she came back to re- sume her duties as one of the original prom-trotters' about the Cliffs of Beebe . Betty has done everything from decorating blackboards to leading cheers, choruses and what not? We know that f'Betsy's contagious grin will win her an Army of friends, whether as an artist on the hill or Pointfsj Westu. FRANCES E. BATTERSON Student Council 1, 2, 3, Dramatic Club, 3, 4, Legislative Assembly 3, 45 Class Oratorg Senior Stunt. Greater love hath no man than this, that he listen to other peoples' troubles without turning a hair, and Frances is equally ready to congratulate and to condole. Her quick, eager interest in everything has won her a host of friends, all of whom will be proud, when they see her name blossom forth in footlights, to recall that they knew her when . It is scarcely possible, however, that this will make up for losing her! i251

ELAINE BECHTEL Editor-in-chief of Annual 4. Elaine Bechtel first saw the light of day in Missouri and from thenceforth has Hshown' rare ability. She is without doubt the most intellectual and versatile member of the senior class. Elaine has distinguished herself as Editor-in-Chief of our Annual. We predict for her a brilliant future-probably as a shining literary light, both in the field of prose and poetry. We are proud to num- ber such a genius in our class of '29 and wish her the big success of which she is capable. FREDERICK D. BECKER Tennis 2, Senior Band 23 French Club 35 Dramatic Club 43 Taxi Driver 3, 45 Baseball 2. Fred is graduating. Boo Hoo! Think of all the poor souls who will have to walk up the hill'noons. But Fred doesn't drive his car all the time. Every other week he comes to school for awhile and condescends to take a 94 in English or a 98 in History. He is really a gentle, bright, poor boy, Cpopular with the girlsj so now he's going on the hill to help his dad teach history. S'long Fred. LAWRENCE ALECK BELL Congress 5, Glee Club 4, 53 Chorus 4, 5. The fuzz on the upper lip may or may not indicate a passion for Jack Barrymore, but Larry discounts this and says it's a Chrysler f'80 . A lad from Fall Creek is Larry and not usually led, but always responds to Lois'i. With five years of confinement, the future is up in the air,-he may even indulge in the good clean sport of aeroplaning. We can only hope that he won't jump off the roof with the beach umbrella. SARAH BLOSTEIN Spring Concert 1, 3, Kathaleen 39 League Basketball 1, 2, 33 Field Hockey 1, 35 Baseball 25 Volley Ball Z, Science Club 25 Senior Frolic 4. Donlt look so surprised! Yes, Sally has decided to leave this institution to receive a higher education. With her personality and congenial talent she is sure to succeed in anything she undertakes. One of her greatest joys is dancing but she also finds time for skating and motor- ing. There is another secret I must tell you about 'fSallyU-she has a weakness for RedU hair and Green roadsters. Well, Sally , We wish you success in your future conquest. i261
