TILLIE GINSBERG G. A. A. Orchestra Glee Club How fortunate we are in having Til lie a member of the class! Her violin has entertained us on many occasions, and the school woidd have heard her playing another term, were it not for the fact that she has com- pleted the high school course in three years. Soon we shall find Tillie out in the business world. WILLIAM KAVANY B. A. A. Track Team “Polly Lou” (4) “Willie” is one of the best lilced boys in the class, even though he was named “the freshest”. The girls are not altogether unaware of his charms. He has a smile ready for everyone at all times. Next year will find him in some electrical establishment. SADIE KARPEL G. A. A. Glee Club (3) (4) Aloenim Staff (3) (4) Basket Ball Team (3) (4) “Polly Lou” Here’s to the best natured girl in Mineola High School. We regret los- ing Sadie for fear we may no longer eat the refreshments she is used to serving at the Senior dances. She played a stellar role in “Polly Lou”, where she cleverly amused a large and interested audience. Here’s luck, Sadie!

LOUIS BACKIEL B. A. A. Pres. (4) Bseball (1) (3) (4) Baseball (1) (3) (4) “Polly Lou” Class Historian Louis is the kind who says, “All right, I’ll do it”, or “Come on, and make it snappy”. What he wants to do, he does. Determined, confident and dependable—that’s Louis every time. He also has the honor of being captain of the championship basket ball team. His policy is: If basket ball interferes wih studies, omit the studies. HOWARD DOCHTERMAN Class President (2, 3, 4) Boys’ Baske Ball Team Mgr. (4) B. A. A. Aloenim (3) (4) Valedictorian Howard is one of the class’s “fav- orite children”. To do him justice would take much space. But we can say that Howard is one of the bright- est, most conscientious, and best-liked of Mineola boys. What more can ive say of our President and Valedictor- ian? He is living up to his reputa- tion as a student by completing the high school course in three and one half years, and doing the Freshman year at N. Y. U. in six months! RUTH DOWNS Aloenim Staff (2) (3) (4) Glee Club (3) Class Secretary Winner of Tuberculosis Poster Con- test (3) “Polly Lou” Ruth can amuse more people with her bright sallies, than anyone else we know of. And when she begins her art work, we all “take a buck seat”. She designed the Senior banner, and. she is constantly in demand for mak- ing posters. Mineola is the sad loser and Pratt Institute a lucky gainer when she is graduated in June.

ARTHUR LOEW HERBERT PEARSON Baseball (4) Basket Ball (3) (4) Track Team (3) (4) “Polly Lou” Aloenim (3) (4) B. A. A. Class Prophecy Herbert is a good “all ’round” fel- low, and his title of “most popular boy in the Senior Class” speaks for itself. He also has a “rep” for getting ad- vertisements for the Aloenim. Al- though his future is still undecided, after seeing him in “Polly Lou”, we suggest the stage. B. A. A. “Polly Lou” Much to the delight of the Senior Class, Arthur returned to us last fall, after spending three years at that much talked-of school, Bordentown Military Institute. Arthur gained re- nown through his part as a Westerner in the class play. He is a very popu- 'ar young man about the school build- ing. CHARLES POSPISIL B. A. A. Basket Ball Team (2) (3) (4) Baseball Team (4) “Polly Lou” Charles Pospisil is in the class with Sadie Karpel for his remarkable good nature. Yet he is rather reticent, so we have heard little from him except in the Senior play, where he took the part of an Englishman.
