JOHN CARR “Big Boy” “Johnny” Football (4); Traffic S(]uacl (4); Basketball (4); Hi-Y (3) (4); -Pinafore (3); Physical Ed. (1) (3) (4); Min- strel Show (4). Behold the tallest fellow in our class. Who knows to what heights he will rise? “Big Boy” entered the portals of M. H. S. destined to be a student and a heart- breaker; he is progressing in both. John was one of the main stays on the football and basketball squads this year. In addition to this, he holds seven state records for championship swimming. ’At’ a boy, John, you’ll show ’em how to swim the English Channel. Last but not least, who has not thrilled to hear that melodious tenor voice blend vociferously with the many choruses of M. H. S.? A sense of humor, plenty of pep, and a pleasing personality make John one of our best liked classmates, and we know success will follow him through college and life. EDWARD SIDNEY CASEY, “Ted” Hi-Y Club (2) (3) (4); Masque and Wig (2) (3) (4); Debating Club (2); Year Book Artist (3) (4); “Rising of the Moon : Tiro Crooks and a Lady ; “ Half-Back Sandy ” (3). From the time you meet “Ted”, you will always find him of a jovial and agreeable nature, by which he is fondly remembered by us. He is exceedingly observant, and has an eye for the beautiful, whether it is a pretty girl or a landscape, his snappy drawings so well indi- cate. “Ted” is extremely versatile, having among his accomplishments banjo player, author, actor and artist. The latter talent is what “Ted” excels in, and it is this which he intends to continue. We all wish “Ted” the best of luck in this profession or any other to which his varied talents may direct him. GEORGE EDWARD CHAMBERLAIN. JR. “Chamby” Hi-Y (3) (4) ; Euclidean Society (4) ; Traffic Squad (4). Although George Edward Chamberlain Jr. is written on his calling cards, he is most commonly known as “Chamby”. lie is well known in such noted societies as the Euclidean Society and the Hi-Y. He holds forth, also, as a traffic cop in front of 17. “Chamby” hopes to attend some business college next year. We wish you the best of luck, George.

EVELYN I). BURT Evelyn has proved to us that she is a quiet girl in the respect that she does not attend many of the school’s social and athletic events. Of course there may have been a few occasions when she has attended one or the other, and if so. she was usually accom- panied by her sister, Esther. These sisters have been inseparable since their advent to M. H. S., but their individual personalities have always made themselves felt in our minds. MARGUERITE MAXINE BURTON “Peg” “Peg” is one of those quiet girls who doesn’t say much but does a lot of thinking. She has never in- dulged in school activities because all of her time has been spent in making up work which she has lost through absence. We congratulate her however be- cause she always manages to keep well up above the line. Bookkeeping is her favorite study. We will all miss “Peg” when she leaves old M. H. S. but we wish her the best of luck in whatever she decides to do whether it be nurse or a bookkeeper. ANNA LOUISE CARLSON Euclidean Society (3) (4). Louise takes the prize for quietness in the Class of ’2 6. Her calm, unruffled dispos ition has shown all of us the needlessness of rush, and worry, and fuss. Louise is so very quiet that perhaps a great many are not aware of her good nature, her steadfastness of pur- pose, and her faithfulness, but her friends know and appreciate these qualities. She has realized all through High School the importance of concentrated study, the fruits of which are clearly shown by the honors she has received in scholarship all through her four years of High School, particularly the honor of being saluta- torian of the class. t

KENDRICK WINTER CHAPMAN “Ken” Vice President (2); President (3); President of Thrift Council (4); Hi-Y (3) (4); Traffic Squad (3) (4). “Ken” was planning to go right from school to work, but, since he has been made President of ,the Thrift Coun- cil, he thinks he would like to go to college and prepare to become a real business man,. “Ken” is one of the popular males in the Class of 1926, and there is one girl in particular with whom he is very popular. Well, Ken, we have had a great time in our four years at dear, old M. H. S. and will all have many pleasant memories to look back upon. Here’s hoping you have all the success life has to give. ALBERT F. CLARKE “Albie” “Clarkie” Tennis (3); Orchestra (1) (2) (3); Debating Club (4); Euclidean Society (4). Albert, known intimately; as “Albie”, otherwise as “Clarkie”, hails from the Gooch School district. He has certainly made a record worthy of that institution. The Tennis Team, the Orchestra, the Debating Club and the Football Squad have all felt his presence. But his most remarkable achievement is the fact that he has scored eighteen degrees in the Euclidean Society without even knowing that he was a member. Directly after his advent to the orchestra, Mr. Wilson became famous. Albie’s main characteristics are studiousness, wit, and reticence; his favorite expressions “by cracky”, and “oh blooie”; “ditto” is his favorite answer. He is interested in golf, hockey, skiing, swimming, writing, eugenics and sociology, but he is positively not interested in women. « PHILIP A. COLEMAN “Phil” Traffic Squad (4); Class Treasurer (3). Ever since his entrance into high school “Phil” has been noted for his optimism, which has never been lacking, whatever the situation might have been. Also his wit and good humor have made him a very popular boy. “Phil” was our very efficient treasurer in his junior year, also one of the capable traffic officers. Whatever he may attempt in the future, we wish him the very best of success.
