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.

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.

BEATRICE BONZAGNI “Bee Girls’ Club (4) In the Fall of 1924, “Bea” entered M. H. S., com- ing from the Franklin Grammar School. With her earnest blue eyes, her cheerful disposition and her witty tongue, “Bea-Bon” is well-liked by all, and fully appre- ciated by those who know her best. During her four years at M. H. S. “Bea has been very conscientious and apt student. Next year we shall find her at Lesley’s School in Cambridge, where she will prepare for teaching Kindergarten. We wish you heaps of luck, “Bea”. RUTH M. BOURNE “Rut i-iie Euclidean Society (3) (4) Concer ' t (1). ‘Mikado;” Music Week Nothing worries Ruth, whether it is flunking an ex- amination or changing tires on her well-known “Studie”. She never worries because she knows that in the end everything will be all right. With her wonderful good humor and pleasing personality she has won many friends. Ruth is undecided as to the choice of her career, but we shall see her entering Jackson College in the fall. Here’s wishing you lots of luck, Ruth, at college, and in the coming years.
