GERTRUDE ESTELLE GAUMER Fritz Although her main interest seems to be outside of the school walls, Gert has always been an enthusiastic follower of girls' hockey. Besides her closest friend, Dot, Gert's pleasing personality has won her many other chums. Her commercial recommendations have helped her to become an industrious and dependable secretary to Miss Powell7 and who on the Record Staff will be able to forget the efficiency with which she handled all the last minute typing rushed to her?

DARATI-IA C. GILBERT Dot Neat and different-looking is attractive Dot Gilbert, and oh yes, as dignified as the title most dignified girl calls for. lt has been Dot who decorated, drew, and designed for almost every club, class, and activity there was. Ideas come to her like magic for cover- design or poster--or what have you. Priceless is her work, but, after all, it comes from a priceless girl.

FLORENCE ELIZABETH EVANS Betty Always laughing, full of fun, and an all around athlete! How else could we describe Betty? lf ever you have the blues, she'll chase them away with her wise cracks, puns, and laughter. Betty's ambition is to become a physical director, and we know she has what it takes to make a good one.

Although extremely quiet and shy, Madeline finds much fun in exchanging letters with pen pals in foreign countries, especially Spain. A true and helpful friend to her close chums, Madge is very well liked by those who really know her. Commercial Club 45 French Club 45 First Honors 2, 3, First Semester 4. IAMES P. FLOWERS Horse Without Horse our class would have been lacking one of the flashiest athletic stars ever to participate in sports at M. H. S. He is an all around fellow, for whether it be on the football field or dance floor, he is equally at home. An easy blusher too . . . just mention the name of a certain junior and watch his face grow crimson. He must have an aversion toward the prohi- bition party, for every time he sees a friend he yells, HDYYI H Monitor 35 Class Secretary 35 Hi-Y Secretary 25 Operetta 25 Football Varsity Z, 3, Captain 45 Basketball Varsity 2, 3, Captain 45 Baseball Varsity 2, 3, 45 Perfect Attend- ance 2, First Semester 4. n ANGELINA GALEOTTI Ange Ange is one of the busiest girls in our class. She can often be seen hurrying through the halls, always going somewhere and ending up nowhere. Although she has a habit of popping up under our noses when we least expect her, her cheery smile wins her a welcome place among us. She is a good sport and stands a lot of kidding. Ange has a marvelous voice and expects to take up singing as her profession. Here's wishing her lots of luck. Commercial Club 45 Glee Club 2, 45 Operetta 25 Dra- matic Club 2. ZZ.

ROWLAND W. GILPIN Rollo Surely you remember the tall young man who, last October, joyfully took the position of football manager and valiantly tried to get the announcements straight to avoid the razzing of his classmates. Well, that was Rollo. His stellar accomplishment is his faculty for falling asleep in dull classes and seeming to be awake at the same time. Though he is not exactly a star pupil, his interest in the French class is centered very profitably around the most studious girl in the seniors' lcg, ROBERT CHARLES GIUNTA Scoop Bob, a very likable and talkative chap, is well known as a sports writer for our school newspaper. Perhaps he gets his inspirations from attending all the athletic performances put on by his Alma Mater. Although Bob wears glasses which tend to give him a rather studious air, he does not thoroughly love his studies. However, he still manages to get through and to maintain his reputation as an ardent supporter of M. H. S.

Chem- istry to Lucille means not only sulphur and carbon, but also the teacher, for he seems to derive constant pleasure from kidding Lucille. Although she has not taken part in many of the extra activities at M. H. S., Lucille has been a member of the Glee Club for several years, and always supports school dances with enthu- siasm.

GORSUCH Reds To those of you who have always been under the impression that red hair is the sign of a fiery temper, may we present Mr. Paul Gorsuch. We hate to dis- illusion you, but Paul is an exception to this unjust accusation which you make of redheads in generalg for he is the possessor of a most pleasant disposition. Always full of fun, he is also a well-mannered chap.
