ATJr Charge W the Juniors Aty is another member of the fam- ous “G” gang, composed of Gersback, Gibbons and Gramer. During the Eas- ter Vacation, he nearly got lost in the wilds of Washington’s Chinatown, when the Seniors visited the Capitol city. And lest we forget, there’s his debating ability.

He also can act as a “bally Englisher.” ALFREDA HOFFMAN “Al.” G. A. A. Glee Club (2) (3) (4) ALOENIM (4) Alfreda is one of those persons with a very happy disposition. Her one hobby is drawing,—an art at which she excels. In fact, nothing is ever difficult for her to do. puf Jus shellT ALLAN HOLZWEISS “Gahent” Baseball (4) Basketball (4) B. A. A. t Allan, although he has been with us but one year, has become one of the most popular Seniors. When ev- erything is dull, he is always here to brighten us up. His chief occupation is expounding his immense, well pronounced vocab- ulary to the rest of the “innocent” Seniors. BENJAMIN F. JONES, JR. “Benny,” Fat” Boys’ A. A.

He helps wherever and whenever he can to nja any school affair a suc- cess Regardless of the extra work it co os him. WILLIAM F. KANAVY “Shrimp” B. A. A. Track Team (4) School Police (4) William apparently did not like the graduating class last year; so here he is.

ALOENIM JE SENIOR CLASS MARGARET BENEDICT a t’ G. A. A. (VRfe. President) (4) Basketball (2) (4) Track Team (3) (4) Glee Club Y Margaret is one of the best girl athletes Tn the school, and many un- derclassmen envy, her. “Pat” Was chosen captain of .the tj'ack teafti fof the last two years, and captain, of the basketball team this pakt season. This shows how popular she is. Next year she is going to take up nursing, her chosen profession. We all wish her success. JOHN F. BOLES, JR. “Bolesie,” “Dusty” ALOENIM (4) Basketball (4) School Police (3) V Glee Club (3) Senior Play B. A. A. John is therq with wise cracks. And as for persistence—remember his many proftjiSuls in the Senior play, and his petition for individual pic- tured. At meetings he' is known as th champion “motion-maker.” Wher ever he has traveled, his route ma; be known by the trail of broken hearts in his wake. They would reach, if put in a straight line, from Bay Shore to within 13 1-2 feet of the Fail- Grounds. MURIEL BRINK “Mike” ClaSS yice President (4) Track' team (1) (2) (3) (4) G. A. A S ALOENIMXL3J (4) Basketball (4J “A cannot withjtf her, nor custom 5tale Her infinite wietjf,” Who doe aJt-know Muriel, a popu- lar person rioted for h speed on the track and irT coming -home from school? A ngjy joke, a wise'crack,— let’s attribute—ihefh to luriel. We could keep on expounding her virtues for pages, but we’ll sum it up by saying, “She’s a good sport.” “Mike” will enter the business world after graduation. MARGARET BRITTON “Peg” G. A. A. Glee Club (1) (2) (3) (4) Senior Play ALOENIM (4) “Bethink thee on her virtues that surmount, And natural graces that extinguish ari,.” Peg looks so quiet and modest, but then, when it comes to popularity, we all can vouch for her. We wish her continued success when she takes up her chosen career, nursing. (3) (4) HARRY P. CORN “Chip’ Class President (1-2-3-4 Track Team (1) (2) Basketball (2) (3) ALOENI School B. A. That jj -son in knee-pants? Why, th tk the president. Yes, the president!r Say, he’s a fast runner. You’ll uduce Paavo Nurmi isn’t hang- ing flno| jd this country now that raduating. And—basket- must have a hidden spring im that makes him jump as high e tallest in the game. FRED DE BRAVA “Fritz” Baseball (2) (3) (4) B. A. A. 'T’Were is only one activity that Fred J»went out” for; that’s baseball. The nrsteirear he wJs only a lowly fielder. But the cext ar, our coach found in him good pitching qualities, and he became our star pitcH C Last year in one game he “struck out” men, —an enviable record.

A JA BeciV ScWiAl Si()lice 03) Biflu tball (4) Mlidr Play ° ,'Histy'ian Janies has proven himself one of the most valuable assets of the class. His witty remarks are characteristic of a quick and nimble mind. He has been in demand as secretary and treasurer because of his “business head.” James is bound to succeed. His nature makes it impossible for him to fail. He has made a mark in the journalistic world with his two famous publications, the “Junior News” and the “Senior Sun,” of which he was owner, publisher, printer, edi- tor, reporter, photographer and every other position clear down to printer’s devil. FREI) L. NUHN “Red,” “Fritz” Basketball (2) (3) (4) ALOENIM (4) B. A. A. Who, in any town where Mineola has played basketball, does not know “Fritz,” the red headed, basket-shoot- ing terror? In the winter a basket- ball court is his home. “Red” is the official “class sheik,” and that’s no mistake. No doubt a few years hence we’ll be some of his patients when he becomes a full-fledged dentist. ELIZABETH ROCHE “Lizzie” Valedictorian G. A. A. Glee Club (1) (2) jfj Elizabeth is amoth r of the,few stu- dents who is o mpletingjjmr college preparatory «oursef in three years. Arid» she nss a Rqg'ent’s average of over ilinet per gent! We are very proud of our valedictorian, and we wish her still greater honors at Cor- nell. WILLIAM C. RUCKH Bill” (Basketball (2) (3) Captain (4) j Baseball .(2U3) (4) ! ALOENIM (3) (4) , B. We regret very much to lose Bill, our all ground athlete. Bill not only excels in athletics but did likewise in his school-work. We say it again, that it ieywith regret that we send Bill off another school to continue i his successful career. BERGEN SIMONSON “Slim” Basketball (2) (3) (4) Baseball (1) (2) Captain (3) (4) Track Team (3) (4) B. A. A. Vice President (3) Pres. (4) Although he may seem melancholy, Bergen really gets as much, if not more enjoyment out of life than any other Senior. And why shouldn’t he? He excels in all forms of athletics, stands high in scholarship, and is most popular with all the school stu- dents. In short, he is a “regular feller.” BEATRICE bUmAGLI G. A. A. Treas. (Sfl Class Trea uiyf (l)t' Glee Club (ft) (2) Saluta torlan ALOENIM (3) We certainly are fortunate in hav- ing “Bee” come into the class of 1926. While taking her high school course in three years, she has shown her ability in school affairs as well as in her studies. We are proud of our salutatarian, and are sending her off to Cornell with our wishes for fur- ther success. FRANKLIN SIMONSON “Pipp” Baseball (3) (4) Basketball (4) Senior Play Class Secretary (4) B. A. A. Vice President (4) ALOENIM (4) “Pipp’s” record speaks for itself and needs no words to boost it. He readily understands any new prob- lems—which accounts fcr the words often heard in the study hall, “Frank will you please explain this to me?” Besides this, his activity in athletics has done much for the success of Mineola’s teams. 9
