JOHN ANDERTON “Johnnie” “Swede” Swede came up from the Lincoln School in “29.” He has most of the school games this year. Tuesday nights, during the winter, you will find Swede with a gang up in the second balcony of the Boston Gardens. He did not enter sports because he worked during the afternoon. Johnnie is thinking of going to Business School next year. He is a good worker, and we know he will succeed. Good Luck, Swede. BENJAMIN BAKER “Bennie”, “Ben” Benjamin Leo Baker, better known as Ben among his school mates, came to M. H. S. in 1929 from the Roosevelt School. He is a gay young fellow, and has made a great many friends with his winning smile and entertaining wit. Bennie has taken the general course and has hopes of ob- taining work in the newspaper world. We feel sure that he will be successful and wish him all the luck in the world. Here is strong proof of the saying, “Good things come in small packages. Eleanor is small and quiet, but by her ready humor she has won many new friends since she came from the Washington School in 1929. By attending all the games she has been a strong supporter of the football and hockey teams. We wonder why Andover has interested her so much the last three years. She intends to go to Northfield, then to Simmons. We know she will be successful. Best of luck. Eleanor. gained many friends during his four years of hard work by his pleasant personality.

In short, our popular schoolboy miler has been known as an artist, a lover of true character and power, a judge of fellowman, a true friend, and a genuine distance-runner.

Her mincing steps are not heard throughout our halls, for her shoes are rub- ber soled.
