LORRAINE RURTON “Larry” “Buddy” “Appetite” Girls’ Club 3, 4; Filing Committee 4; Stamp Club 4 • To meet Larry is to know her. Her friendly spirit and happy disposition make her a pal worth having. This petite, blue-eyed brunette with a mischievous twinkle in her eye loves all sports and is a staunch follower of all M. H. S. teams. Larry’s specialty, however, is telling jokes, with “Little Horace” as our favorite. Her favorite pastimes arc eating angel cake (which hasn’t yet resulted in any wings) and tearing up ditto copies, at which she has become most efficient. Larry has our best wishes, and we know she will succeed in anything she attempts. CHARLES LAWRENCE BYRNE “Charlie” “Red” “Chuck’ Charlie is one of our talented young men who hailed from St. Mary’s School. He is a naturally quiet boy at school but outside he is the center of fun. He is never lacking friends. He is fond of dancing, and we know he will be a success with his singing. He has a weakness for athletics. We know Charlie will be a success in whatever he under- takes ; so Good Luck, Charlie. ALICE M. CAIRNS “Ai” Red Cross Every one knows A 1 for her happy-go-lucky manner. Al’s hobby is collecting pictures of ships. We wonder what the fascination is.

We all wish you happiness and lots of luck. PHILIP R. CALDER, Jr. Philip came from the Roosevelt in ’32.

CORTLAND BRYANT Cortland or Corty as he is known by his friends, is a tall, dark-haired, young fellow with a pleasant and plentiful grin. He was always athletically inclined, although lately he has leaned to the social joys of the stage. His actions in school are quiet and law abiding (?), while those outside are vigorous and industrious. He is, altogether, a worthy and upstanding member of the class of “36” and well worth knowing.

As yet, Gertie’s plans for the future are in- definite, but we are sure that she will be a success in what- ever she undertakes. PHYLLIS E. BRYANT Phyl graduated from the Roosevelt School in ’31. Dur- ing her term in M. H. S., she became a prominent member in Girls’ Club. In her Junior year, she joined the Glee Club where she attained success in singing.
