DOROTHY BROWY ‘ ' Dot “Babe , “Brownie Glee Club (2). “ Pirates of Penzance ”, “Mikado ' ' Girls ' Club (3), (4) Dorothy, better known to her friends as Dot, hailed from the Roosevelt School in the class of 29. Because of her ready wit and willingness to help. Dot has won a place for herself among those who have been privileged to know her intimately. She has a tendency toward “blushing blondes ’ and we wonder who! Dot is undecided whether to continue her vocal training or her business course, but which ever she decides to do, we wish her the best of luck. ROBERT BROWN “Bob” Orchestra (1), Glee Club (3), (4) This blue-eyed, vigorous, irrepressible youngster bounced noisily into the halls of the high school with a complete disregard for al l rules of propriety and such an engaging way of getting into mischief that he soon won all hearts. He has distinguished himself by being in the midst of any and all excitement, ranging from the operetta to “personal disagreements. As a cheer leader, Brownie took advantage of a wonderful opportunity to put a lot of noise to some use, (greatly ' appreciated by the team, of course). We 11 miss this breezy, happy-go-lucky senior, and hope he won ' t find in his battle with the world anything that will take the bouyancy from his steps or the smile from his lips. JOSEPH C.

Why, it ' s none other than our own Joe Bryan, who graduated from St. Mary s in 1929 and in the fall of the same year entered upon a more or less successful career of four years duration at M. H. S. Knowing Joe as we do, we ask, “Is there a problem in school or in life that he cannot overcome w ith his brains, brawn, and personality?” Well, drink deep, my hearties, and here’s a toast to Joe Bryan. May he never know failure! 25

His bashfulness and wonderment soon wore off, and he settled down to the dailv routine of high school life. The lad is gifted with a sunny disposition and a shock of curly hair. We can probably attribute his good nature to the simple fact that he allows neither teachers nor girls the privilege id bothering him. So. good luck, Don, may success be yours. EDGAR D.
