?SA2AlRJ inBC MARY ACHENBACH “Alouicious” Mary hails from the growing community of Belfast. She is famous for her non-stop reading; she never notices a period. She is a good-natured girl. This fact was proved by her willingness to work during Institute week. The class of ’30 wishes you success in all you do. ANNA BREINIG “Anna Elizabeth” Anna, as our captain, led our basketball team through a very successful season. Besides basketball, she has engaged in many activities. Anna is a perfect tease, especially around boys. She desires to be a nurse and we want her to come through with flying colors.

 Since this is a talking picture we might as well have some conversation. One Sophomore to another. “Don't the Freshmen make some of the worst breaks? “Well I should say, they’re ten times dumber than we were.” Mow characteristic of a Sophomore's mind. This year we choose our class colors and pennants. Scarlet and white are the colors. We also take part in more activities than before. We give members to athletics, to music and debating. In October we gather together and have a Hallowe’en Party. At this point the sound has to be toned down a bit or you’d all be deaf. Another year has slipped by and now we are Juniors. Our importance as upper class men weighs heavily upon us? ? ? So much so, in fact, that we are re- minded ten times daily (by actual count) that we are upper classmen. This year we choose our class rings. They are quite collegiate we think. We are very proud to see them on our hands, and for some of us, on other people’s hands. The Junior-Senior Reception is our festivity this year. The gym is dressed for the gala occasion in Scarlet and Gray, the Senior Class colors. Everyone is in a party mood and leave at the end with genuine regret. Jolly occasions with Spring as a background crowd into the picture. We would like to review them all, but June is just around the corner. September once more. Our last year in Nazareth High. We feel at last our importance, to some extent. We are cautioned against Senioritis. but upon analysis we find it conspicuous only in its absence. Comet Staff officers arc elected. Work is begun. We are very much in earnest about our work. We want our book to be a success. Then the Junior-Senior Reception comes once more to brighten up the scene. This time we are guests. We are to act dignified. But again we wear our unaccustomed role poorly, and, before the evening is far advanced, we shed it and run away. Exams come upon the heels of Christmas vacation. They seem so much more important this last year. Safely over them we have a spell of easier breathing. A pall of gloom is cast over the entire school by the deaths of a schoolmate. Rue Cooley, and our classmate. Jacob Fraunfelder. Coming at this time it seems a reminder that we should not take Life too lightly for we are only mortals. Then the Senior Play. Tryouts and rehearsals. The play takes shape and is finally presented in May. The Senior Trip. That goal toward which we have worked. A week of gloriously happy days of sightseeing. Commencement. Black robes oddly enough give us the dignity that some- how did not seem to Iit us before. The rows of class members seated upon the stage. The last time they shall be students in this building. Commencement. The beginning, not the end. We have completed our elementary course in the school of Life. It is our foundation. We have had a good beginning if we let it be so. What we build hereafter will be our own handi- work. Our teachers have tried to instil in us the knowledge to enable us to choose carefully the stones with which we build our lives. And so, the scene fades out to the ringing tune of our Alma Mater. Fare- well! Thei.ma L. Knauss, Historian [ 23 ]

 IDELLA BROUSE “KoiTce” Idella may seem quiet to others but she is one of the best pals we know. Mary and Idella are the inseparables. Although troubles sometimes pile on Idella, she dismisses them with her pleasant and cvcr-ready smile. Idella does not know what she will do: but remember, Idella. we’re backing you. Civics Club (1); Glee Club (3). NETTIE DECH “Nettie” Nettie played a fighting game in the past basketball season for old Nazareth High. What would the team have dene without the husky and defiant guard? Although Nettie dislikes Commercial subjects, her grades do not show it. We know Nettie will be somebody’s good steno- grapher. May you always keep the fighting spirit of Naz- areth High. Glee Club (1) (2) (3); Civics Club 1(); Class Basketball (1); Basketball (2) (3) (4). STEPHEN DUSINSKI “Stevie” “Stevie belongs to that “old gang of mine , that is always getting into trouble. In fact Stephen is known for his excellent misconduct many times in the past. But in spite of this he is a good student under pressure. “Stevie desires to be a chemical engineer. Your classmates send with you the horseshoe for good luck; we hope there's no kick in it.
