BILLY BAKER In basketball, as zee all know, he shines; And is never happier than when he dines. Utopian Literary Society, '26 : Hi-Y; Vice-President Junior Class; Basketball, ’25; Captain, '26 and 27: Manager of Football, '26 Block “F Club ; Advertising Manager Florentine; Senior Class play. To a stranger Billy’s quiet and reserved manner may seem to be coldness and indifference, but his friends know well his warm and cordial nature. Proof of his proficiency in Spanish is his nickname— “Damya”—, and the fact that he was captain of basketball this year speaks for itself. As hero in the “Elopement of Ellen,” Billy captured all feminine hearts in school. He is a clean, straightforward fellow, and a loyal friend. Best wishes attend him! MARY BRANDT Grace is in her step, heaven in her eyes. Utopian Literary Society; Girl Reserves. Mary is one of the sweetest, most popular and attractive girls in our class,—her true sincerity, friendliness, and lovable disposition have won her many friends. She is also a good student as she is dependable, and always willing to lend a helping hand. As a swimmer or a dancer, she is far above the average. Mary is loved by all, and as she dances her way along the trail of the future we all send with her our very best wishes. Page Fifteen

BERENICE McBRIDE A cheerful disposition is a fund of ready capital. Criterion Literary Society; Varsity Basketball. ’27; Class Basketball, '27: Hockey, '27 : Block “F” Club. Berenice, with her soft voice, and quiet manners has endeared herself to the hearts of all of us. Two years ago she took her place in our class, and at that same time many of the manly sex were afflicted with palpitation of the heart. Mac is far above the average. EDWIN ALLEN For all the fair, he has a pleasant smile; A neat boy, he, and always right in style. Utopian Literary Society; Hi-Y. This boy has certainly stepped out in the last few years. We can only faintly remember him as the bashful Central School kid of long ago. All of his old characteristics he has cast aside, and the never ceasing blush alone remains. His greatest trouble is that he is tantalized by Skeeters all the year around. Doc is a good dancer, and his social success is assured. As for his life’s work—Oh well, why think of that while you are young! Page Fourteen

WILMA AIKEN Man way live without music or hooks. But civil iced wan cannot live without cooks. Criterion Literary Society; Girl Reserves; Class Basketball, 25, ’26; Girls’ Glee Club, ’27. This is a maiden of double attraction, Rifted with dark beauty and with the art of cooking and sewing. Every time we meet a jolly good pal with a pair of flashing eyes, we shall recall memories of Wilma. FRANCES WILSON The only way to have a friend is to he one. Utopian Literary Society; Girl Reserves. Unassuming, gentle, smiling—how could we help but love her? Her sweet, lovable disposition has won for her fast friends, and we admire her for her studiousness and sincerity. Even tho one would think her always quiet and retiring, still she has listened to many pleas of love-lorn boys. Page Sixteen
