Best Wishes! - Le Cercle Francais: Junior College Club: De- bating Society: Props and Paints: Adventures of Lady Ursula : Chorus: Minstrels: Senior Play. HAROLD PERRY Behold an active member of the famous Irish Society. Pennant meetings would have been comparatively quiet without Harold, who has the happy faculty of imitation combined with a strain of humor all his own. He is one of the best business men M. H. S. has seen in a long time. His favorite expression is Meet me in the Library.

Margaret Reardon has led the senior basketball team in its successful campaign this season. Also she was one of those healthy young ladies who indulged in soccer nearly every afternoon last fall. Besides bein!! interested in athletics. Margaret is musical, hav- ing been a member of the High School Orchestra for two years.

JAMES DONOVAN This young man is another who makes it hard for us who want to tell something about him. We can't find anything extraordinary about him -no scandal or anything. James has surely led a very secluded life thus far. Maybe he is going to study divinity--who knows? We don't. French Club 111.

HAROLD BUSHNELL On the whole Harold was a regular guy. He chewed gum in his English Class and did many other things which marked him out as an ordi- nary person. Yes, Bushnell's Annual Minstrel Show was a decided success this year as well as last, Harold made a hit also on the gridiron h wit row the Senior team-everybody wanted to bor- his helmet.

DOROTHY CHATFIELD She's a good sport. What more need be said? We think that that sums up all her good quali- ties and presents her as a thoroughly likeable girl. Dot never refused an oral theme topic, no matter how difficult it might be, and she al- ways strove when criticising another person's theme to be candid and fair. She has surely proved steady and helpful throughout her four years here. HILDA PERKINS How we have always lcnged to be, say, a quarter as good-looking as Hilsla Perkins. How- ever, we realize that that is beyond the hope of ordinary mortals. Hilda has done her work well all through high school. In fact, she has been at different times Miss Stowell's one and only hope in the Library Club. For this reason again we must give Hilda a place among the immortals.

This used to be Lester's motto and a pretty good one for two reasons. Wireless and chemistry are two other weaknesses which can be attributed to him. Lester had a good imagination, nevertheless, which he seem- ingly used to fine advantage when he Wasn't prepared in Solid. Minstrels 1413 Radio Clubg Spanish Clubg Glee Club: R. O. T.

Helen is an excellent authority on boys, and is also ve1'y popular with them. Her cute dimples, coy glance, and curly bobbed hair would supply that information though, wouldn't they? Helen is very entertaining and her oral themes have delighted the CP IV B Eng- lish Class.
