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 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

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. Orchestra (2) (3) Bennie is the boy that helps the Senior Clasg with all of its activities. 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. We have only passing glimpses of him, for being a man of leisure, he came to only one class a day. , LILLIAN KATZ “Katzy” Class Vice President (3) Basketball Manager (2) Glee Club (2) ALOENIM (2) (3k Cheerleader (3) Winner Quadrangular peaking Con- test (3) S G.

ALOENIM ANNA THOMAS “Tiny” G. A. A Senior Flay ALOENIM (3j Glee flub Class Prophecy'' rra gab certainly amuse people her wit. She is the de- signter of the class banner, and is also noted for making posters for VchoojA Ufairs. Good natured is not saying enough when speaking of her. she is not fofid of studying, she is naturally one of the brightest upils in the class. Next year we shall find Anna at some well-known art school, and later,—a great design- er. No need to wish her success. Mildred cast off the ties of the Junior class and joined ours. “Millie” .has a reputation for debating. Don’t ever get into a debate or an argu- ment with her, because “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” couldn’t pull you out again. She’s a great basketball player and an honor student.
