THE AFTERMATH 1932 WALTER ROBERT ANDERSON “Andy” “A pboy’s will is the wind’s will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughis.” “Andy” is one of those silent persons who takes a neutral stand upon all subjects, except hunting and fishing, which are his main interests and particular hobbies. MARGARET HAMILTON BALMER “Peg” “The grass stoops not, she treads on it So light.” “Peg” always seams like a rather fragile sort of person; yet it is surprising how she can romp about when in a playful mood. For years her complexion has been truly envied. The frequent sound of her very individual laughter has given evidence of her good na- ture. Typewriting Club (3); Junior Prom Committee (3). LAWRENCE AUGUSTUS BERTRAND “Gus,” “Gussy” “A man in all the world’s new fashion planted, That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.” There is something about “Gussy’—perhaps it is the way he thrusts out his chin and opens his eyes in surprise—which reminds us of Maurice Chevalier. His accomplishments at M. H. S. make us feel assured that inevitably he will be one of the better students at Clark.

THE AFTERMATH 1932 MILDRED LILLIAN BOUTILIER “Boots” “The babbling brook is a quiet matter Compared to Bocts’ endless chatter.” “Boots” inherited her nickname. She says, “Yes, I used to be a good little girl, but oh, it’s a wicked world!” Physical Training Demonstration (2) (4); Shorthand and Type- writing Club (3); Tennis Club (4). EARL THOMAS BROWN “Brownie” “He proved that ladies, too, prefer a blond.” “Brownie” has been known to cause a sweet young thing to trip down from Bramanville just to buy bananas from him; all of which makes us believe in hidden power. Typewriting Club (3); Junior Prom Committee (3); Football Association (4). ALICH JULIA BURNAP “Burnie” “Little Miss Burnap sat on a tuffet Learning her lesson for the next day; Along came a boy and sat down with joy, But frightened Miss Burnap away.” The last bell always had an unkind habit of ringing before Alice could possibly reach her home room. Her extremely pleasant smile always helped matters, however, and we trust that it will prove as beneficial when she becomes a nurse.
