CURTIS S. BATES “Curt” “Truck” Mayor of Civics Class (1); Hi-Y (2) (3) (4); Euclid- ean Society (3) (4); Physical Education Leader (1) (2) (3). This cheerful, good-looking young man joined us in our Freshman year having graduated from the Wash- ington School. He immediately became known to us as a very interesting young man because of his delightful personality and witty “wise cracks” which have thrown many a class into an uproar. That curly hair of “Curt’s” must set many a feminine heart fluttering. “Curt” is interested in politics also, for as far as he is concerned “Cal” does choose to run in 1928. “Curt” plans to go to Art School next year. We will always remember him as a perfect classmate and a good sport. CHARLES OZRO BEAN “Bkaxie” School Life (4); Radio Club (1). This popular red head received his training at the Highlands institute of learning, the Franklin School. On his first trip to M. H. S. he inquired for the High School elevator but he soon outgrew that. He wasn ' t here many months before he became known all over the school for his jokes and “wise cracks”. He gained so much fame in this line that he was ap- pointed personal editor of the “School Life” and he sure made a success of it. “Beany”, otherwise known as “Ozaw” intends to enter business after he graduates and he is sure to be a success. JEAN BENEDICT Music Week (3); Physical Education Leader (1) ; Ten- nis (2) (3). Jean is generally to be found on the tennis courts when weather permits, as she is an ardent admirer of this sport. Her speedy service and returns signify that she has good reason to like the game. Jean hasn’t en- tered the school activities as she has been kept busy with outside affairs. We remember her snappy P. E. leading in her freshman year. May your future be a pleasant one, Jean.

■ iSPOTM® BARBARA BAKER “Barbie” Girls’ Club (2) (3) (4). Here is one who gave our class giggler a lot of competition. When “Barbie” isn’t giggling, she’s talk- ing, so altogether her time is taken up with thoroughly enjoying life. “Barbie” came to us from the Franklin School and since her entrance here she has been an ardent supporter of all school activities, especially the athletic contests. “Barb” is planning to go to prep school next year and from there to college where we feel sure she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. RUTH BAKER Ruth is one of those girls who seem very quiet, until you know them! She is of the more feminine type and took part in no athletics until she managed the Senior Bowling Team this year. Ruth’s two failings, or perhaps I should say attributes, are her loud giggle and her passion for red hair. Next year she plans to attend Bryant and Stratton to prepare herself to become a pri- vate secretary. Here’s hoping she gets a red headed boss! MARI LOUISE BALDWIN “Mai.ou” Girls ' Club (3) (4); Masque and Wig 3) (4); “The Goose Hangs High” (3) ; Traffic Squad (4) ; Bowling Team (4). This young lady’s efforts have mostly been confined to dramatics and can she act! We’ll say she can! In “The Goose Hangs High” Mary gave us a wonderful demon- stration of her abilities. Mary has also found time for Girls Club, of which she was a faithful member, and she enjoyed bowling with the girls’ team. Here is another lively member of the class who will be missed ' when she graduates and goes to New York.

M.ELVIN V. BERNINGER “Mai.” Although “Mai” has never appeared as a social lion in his four years of High School life, we can truth- fully say that his good-natured, jovial ways have brought him more than one steadfast friend who will certainly always remember him. “Mai” can also claim a record of which few of us attain in that he has never missed a day of school in all the four long years. Keep up the good work “Mai” and you’ll reach your goal before you know it. BEATRICE J. BERTHEL “Bea-Bke” Girls’ Club (.3) (4). After “Bea” romped around the Gooch School yard awhile they chased her off to High School where she won many friends with her cheery smile and contagious gig- gle. Her generous and sunny nature makes her beloved by both teachers and classmates. “Bea’s” favorite sub- ject is English. At least she passes in nice fat exam papers that make everybody sigh and wish they could write as much. She has conquered the typewriter also, and will soon join the army of stenographers. Best of luck, “Bea”. JESSE D. BLACKSTONE “Jess” We see here one of our class artists. Jesse can draw anything imaginable and is always willing to help out by drawing a poster. He was a hard working mem- ber of the Year Book staff and his clever cartoons are ,on exhibition at the end of the book. “Jess” has a talent for story writing too which he displayed during his high school career. He is undecided as to what he will do next year but we know his life will he successful.
