TUSITALA HORACE CLIFFORD BROWN He who seeks the mrindis improvement Aids the world in aiding mind. If ever you felt down-hearted, Horace was a good cure. He was clever and bright in his speech and yet dignified, as shown by his good portrayal of i'Mr. Johns in the Senior Play and of the Duke in Marcheta. He will always re- main prominent in our minds as the Edi- tor of the Class Book. He proved his musical ability by singing in the Boys' Glee Club II and III. An argument on politics was never complete without his opinion. He was studious, too, as his be- ing on the Honor Roll showed. BURTON LYLE BRUCE His muscles were like iron bands. At least, that is what the man opposite him in a football game must have thought, during the three years that Bert ' earned his letters. He was a mainstay on the Track Team II, III, and IV. Senior year the Athletic Council was not satisfied with his being just a member so they made him president. One of Bert s greatest pleasures was get- ting out of English. class fifteen minutes early in order to get to his lunch counter duties on time. But of course this was compensated by his losing half of recess, serving ravenous students. ELIZABETH BRYANT , She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she' ofaghtf' Betty was a perfect little lady, in every sense of the word, whose smiling countenance and merry repartee made her presence a pleasure to all concerned. She twanged on her mandolin in the Mandolin Club IV, and also helped make The Charm School and Marcheta a success. Her abilities as a reporter as- sisted the Tattlefr IV, she worked eii'i- ciently as Class Book Paragrapher, and withal maintained high rank on the Honor Roll.

TUSITALA GEORGE EDWARD BRIEN He smiles so when one's fright, And when one's wrong he smiles still more. Some people have misjudged George as a pessimist and he comes on our bal- lot as the second choice for pessimist, but don't believe it. George had a grin as contagious as the measles and his friends know that his cheerful nature chased away gloom as old lady Dutch Cleanser chases dirt. George was some classy little debater, too, and maybe it was because he argued so well on dark subjects that he was called a pessimist. KATHERINE JEAN BRODERICK A little nonsense -now and then Is relished by the best of men. . Kaddy always had a smile on her face and she cheerfully admitted that she didn't know what a frown was! She was on the Junior Dance Committee, the Honor Roll, and the Senior Council. We suspect that the candy sold at Mar- cheta got a lot of its sweetness from ccKaddy-rx HERBERT MILTON BROWN Exhansting thought, And living wisdom with each studious year. ' For Herbert was a student! He would devour knowledge. Often when every- one else in the class had failed, Herbert get up and gave a three-minute recita- tion. No wonder that he ranked fourth in the Upper Third. That he was enthu- siastic over other things besides lessons, was shown by his being in the Glee Club one year.

TUSITALA PAUL RICHARD BRYANT Qnip's and cranks and wanton wtlesf' No one could laugh and be serious at the same time as well as Paul.

He was a Tattler Reporter I, on the Ring and Pin Committee II, Orches- tra I, II, III, IV, Track Squad III, and Manager IV, Athletic Council IV, Senior Council IV, Senior Dance Committee, and in Marcheta. His list of activities shows his school spirit and goodfellow- ship during our four years. JOHN OGDEN BUCKLEQY xx His talk was like a stream which runs With rapid change from rocks to roses, It slipped from politics to puns It passed from Mahomet to Moses. Oggie had a good line, -he could talk both sense and nonsense and was seldom seen in an unhappy mood. He was a candidate for football in '23 and one of a few who took a lot of punish- ment for the betterment of the first squad. He was a Tattler Reporter in '24, and his smiling countenance was seen in Marcheta. MARJORIE LOUISE. CAMPBELL Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture, dignity. What girl in '24 did not envy Marjorie her dignified bearing? She was calm and unruffled on every occasion. Her popularity goes without saying when you look over her list of activities. Class Ring Committee II, Student Council II, III, IV, Traiiic Oflicer III, Senior Play Candy Committee IV, Senior Dance Com- mittee IV, Marcheta IV.
