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

 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

William Farrell “Bill CSV5- If our class were not graced by this, our able business manager, we should become too flighty. For it is Bill’s gentle sarcasm that divests us of any unseemly conceit and keeps us wholly on the ground. Bill has so many talents and so many varied experiences that it is difficult to place him definitely in any walk of life. Both the drug store and the theater have found this senior an asset, so we’ll leave him on the high road to prosperity along one of these lines. Althea Green “Tom” This quiet lass joined the class of 1927 two short years ago. She is our official visitor; she attends school regularly, at least twice a week! Although Althea claims her hair isn’t red, we all have our doubts. “Tom” has never informed us as to what she expects to do after leaving Mynderse. but we couldn’t help noticing the diamond she is sporting. Alice Hoster Alice is another business student in our class. If she is as successful as she should be from her early training and friendships, she will reach out in a wide circle in the great commercial world. People many times belie their gentle natures by abilities unthought of, and so it is with Alice. She drives her car like a sweeping whirlwind. We hope we’ll never lose this good friend. Alice Hughes Alice is fortunate, for she has a host of friends. In this case, appearances aren’t deceiving. She is every bit as intelligent as she looks. Yes, Alice is very fond of gum; however, she deserves a better title than champion gum-chewer of ’27. How about “Champion Mirth-Provoker?” If succesf doesn’t come to Alice, it won’t be her fault!
