Oscar Henry Glanville A zoom! A boom! An unfortunate cat! A Jewett! A man! And a derby hat! All hail, the president as he passes, And return the smile that he flashes. Oscai, ’29’s original “Baby Face,’’ has done much to further better cooperation and understanding among the different classes; and with his cheery smile and winning personality, we hope that he will continue to increase his host of friends. Frank Bruce Grover The bad boy of the class! Bruce and his antics are as well known in our everyday life as they were on the stage. Ask any senior about the candy he brings from Cayuga. When he joined us in September, he brought a new kind of fun to the class. His presence livens up any group, and his “haw haw haw!” means a joke played on someone. In his quieter moments he blossoms forth as a pleasing young orator with a gift for entertaining. Amelia Gtuon Amelia Guion, Cherry and bright Is the kind of girl Who does things right. Whatever it is, From lessons to “gym” She’s all right there— With true, snappy vim. An athlete fine And comrade gay; Success and best wishes To “Minnie” always. Richard Elmer Hosley Dick is fond of musical instruments, amateur radio stations, and dashingly collegiate cars. His quiet, dignified mien is only a pose and when he drops it, no humor flashes more brightly than his. Thanks to his able management, he piloted the business of 29’s Myndersian to a successful finish as skillfully as he pilots his famous “Letitia.” Joseph William Hurley “Oh I love to get up in the morning. But I'd rather stay in bed.” Doesn’t this fit Joe exactly? Who will ever forget Miss O’Brien’s oft-repeated, “Does anyone see Joe Hurley coming?” But Joe’s tendency to be late does not lessen his dependability. He is the “tall man” of ’29, and we have always safely relied upon “Stretch” to be able to reach the impossible.

Fanny Margaret Crull Fanny is one in a million. She is just a little girl, but she has been a big cooperator in all the arduous “financial schemes” of senior year. When the rest of us have quaked and sobbed at the thought of selling anything else, Fanny has been the one to come forward with a cheerful “I’ll take mine now. Miss O’Brien.” May life treat her as kindly as she has always treated her friends. Donald Howard Decker If you happen to meet In the halls or on the street, A certain senior, With a cherry hello, a hearty grin. And a personality that’s bound to win. That’s Don. Ethel Leah Demont Ethel goes her calm, unruffled way with admirable ease. We can think of nothing that has disturbed the even tenor of her life. She may be quiet and unassuming, but her many friends indicate that behind this calmness is a very lively and lovable girl, whose quiet eyes are always on the verge of a smile and whose smile is always a warm welcome. Frederic Carlisle Fegley Fritz is small of stature and great of wit. His size is no hindrance on gridiron, court, dance floor, or stage, and his wit makes English classes very lively. Music and aviation claim his attention at present; his initiative and originality may find a way to combine these to result in another of Fritz’s triumphs of prowess and skill. Charles Francis Giannotti Charlie is a well known figure on the court and diamond where he is a master of intricate curves. He can always be depended on, and his unassuming manner makes his accomplishments greater. He has also demonstrated his prowess as a dancer and finds great favor as a lady’s squire. A favorite alike of the boys and girls and a friend to all, the class can well be proud of this member.

Margaret Louise Hurley Margaret Hurley, quite petite. Very cute and very sweet. She’s a student, we all say. With time for work and time for play. Always helps a friend in need, A willing worker,—takes the lead. We. therefore, Margaret, good friend.—true. Success.—best wishes, hold for you. Arlene Eugenia James Arlene joined us in January of our senior year, coming to Mynderse from Clyde. However, she does not regret this fact. She has tried to “hide her light under a bushel,” but we have not been blind to her enthusiastic endeavors to enter into all our activities with interest and staunch support. Although Arlene has been with us for such a short time, it would be thought that she had difficulty in acclimating herself to us and a new school, but she soon accustomed herself to ’29. and we trust she will carry away with her favorable and lasting impressions of Mynderse. her adopted Alma Mater. Sylva Margaret Kelley Sylva walks in our midst without even letting us know about it. She always is the same: her poise and calm manner never seem ruffled. Whatever she undertakes she does conscientiously and earnestly. May the world treat her as kindly as she has treated us. Iva Evelyn Kime A giggle and a broad engaging grin! Of course it's Iva. She never fails to see the humorous side of any situation whether it be in the orgies of history C or walking up the Washington Monument backwards. We all know that the merry twinkle in her eyes means some luring mischief, which will cause somebody a bit of embarrassment. Such an irrestible sense of humor surely will carry Iva through a happy career after leaving Mynderse. Velma Dorsey Lasher Fluffy hair. Sunny smile; Eyes sparkling All the while. Velma is another of ’29’s fair lassies, an excellent model of a senior, for she has tried in every way to help the class along. We are sure that her good will, enthusiasm, and sunny disposition will aid her wherever her pathway in life leads.
