 Arthur Burley “Art” Often may this youth be seen languidly surveying the truths of philosophers with one hand holding back his unruly hair. Without doubt, he is comparing these theories with his own. Certainly Art’s smile will win him many friends. We expect a great deal from him, and know he won’t fail us. Elizabeth Burtless “Betty” This is Betty, Mynderse’s good sport. Everyone knows Betty, and likes her. Although she may not be so fast in English and Caesar, she certainly can play basket-ball. Her winning smile and gentle spoken words will make her popular and successful wherever she may go. Howard Burtless “Peanuts” Behold “Peanuts”, our one living example of perfect patience! No one in ’27 can forget his sorrowful sigh, if he loses but one precious moment at dismissal time. But everyone likes our curly-haired athlete. Howard is bound to be successful. How can such dogged persistence fail? Amelia Capparelli Amelia is one of the sweetest of our senior girls. She is a model student and lends dignity to the class. But lest you think her too much of a paragon, we must tell you that, while she loves to get up in the morning, she thinks it better to stay in bed on school days— at least for a few extra winks. Tardiness is her specialty. | Page 13

■ e :? ! Dorothy Adamy “Dot We’re expecting great things of Dot. After her exceptional acting in the role of “Jane”, what class wouldn’t be proud to acknowledge her as a member? She is vivacious and laughter-loving, always a good friend. Marjorie Allen “Margy’’ Behold our foremost student! But, no indeed, Margy’s talents do not end here. An athlete of prominence, a talented actress and a clever horsewoman, all are within Margy’s line. And, oh yes. Margy is a lovely dancer. Doubt it? Ask her! We only hope that the college that wins her will appreciate her as much as we do. Louis Anderson “ Loui ” Behold, the surgeon to be! We wonder if this young lady, a good student and an enthusiastic athlete, will someday make all her dreams come true! She knows what she wants, and usually goes after it. Well you know her basket ball ability and that no game seems complete without “Loui”. Arlene Bishop Arlene is so quiet and reserved that there isn’t much we can say. But we do know that she is a clever and useful typist, who has worked hard for the success of this Myndersian. Oh my, I almost forgot! She is a very good reason for number seventeen in a certain game at the parties at Magee’s Corners. Page 12

sss f Mary Carroll This brown-eyed girl is either very serious and, oh, so dignified, or giggly and jolly, but never boisterous. Mary’s always the last word, at least when Miss O’Brien is marking absences. Just as Mary’s name is down, in she comes with a gasping, “Here I am. Miss O’Brien!” We all like Mary and wish her endless good fortune. Virginia Clark “Ginnie” Please meet the admirable “Miss Boke”. Virginia is a jolly young lady, full of pep and loved by us all. We are sure that no one will teach biology more thoroughly or interestingly than she. Recently she has taken up horse-back riding. We wonder why? Leon Dutcher “Red” Leon is the “warrior” of Mynderse. Many times a teacher’s startling voice has rung out in reply to Leon’s negation, Go home and get that excuse before school starts!” As many times, dauntlessly he has returned. Thus it is in school and out of school; always there is that spirit invincible which we of ’27 know will guide Leon to success. Nedra Ellis “Ned” No group is quite complete without this sophisticated young lady. Her quiet tones are always heard mingled with the more strident notes of her companions, particularly among those select little groups to be found in the halls discussing human failings. What can we say as to her future, when there are so many places to be filled by just Nedra? But then, wherever she goes, we know that her friends will be in legions. Page 14
