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.

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 ETHEL ELIZABETH VIRGINIA CARLSON “The highest degree of earthly happiness is quiet.” Ethel is rather new to our class, as we saw her for the first time during her Senior year. Taciturnity seems rather synonymous of Ethel. In spite of the fact that she is not loquacious she has made many friends. Member of Bumble Bees’ Club, Commerce H. S. GLADYS ADELINE CARLSON SCullivg “Who invented work and bound this free and holiday-rejoicing spirit down?” “Cully” may always be found in the center of things, even in one of those “barnyard quartettes.”’ She is a praticalist who looks at Life and Love, with humorous asides.” Shorthand and Typewriting Club (3); Basketball (3) (4); Class Day Ciothes Committee (4). JENNIE ANTOINETTE CUIKSZA “Jenny Lee” “But there’s wisdom in women, of more than they have known, And thoughts blowing through them, are wiser than their own.” Jennie is a very clever girl, both scholastically and artistically. We owe her many thanks and much praise for her work in connec- tion with the proms. May her success continue at the Massachu- setts School of Art. Awards for 8. P. C. A.
