ALFRED BERRY Notre Dame Al is another of our prospective bonesetters. Al, if you can cut people up and stick 'em together again as well as you can run, all the undertakers during the next few decades will go into bankruptcy.

He has been present at almost every athletic activity in which the school has participated for the last four years. That's doing' his share, and if he keeps on being as helpful as that all his life, he'll go a long way in the world.

She is going south to college-to Georgia, to be exact, and the students of N. R. H. S. can unanimously state that Georgia certainly is getting a lucky break. Scholarship Club 2. Page Twenty

'TS 9 W It W J' NATALIE ONLEY BATTERSON Virginia Here's a living example of the proverbial good thing in a small package. Nat may be small in stature but not so in brains, ambition, and ability. Who can deny that it takes both brains and ambition to asfpire to studying journalism and then go to Europe? And as to ability-well, just glance at the varied types of Nat's numerous activities.

Perhaps you might overhear Ruth utter such a cry while hiking, since she is very fond of that sport. Another hobby is to go to the theatre. Anyone who wants advice on what plays and musical comedies to see, consult Ruth. Local History Club 23 Classical Club 43 Glee Club 4, RAYMOND BECKER Columbia Meet the designer-to-be of future skyscrapers, memorials, and other imposing edifices. Yes, 'fRay!' is going to be an archi- tect, and if he turns out to be as good a one as he is an all- around good fellow, needless to say, his structures will soon be vying with those of Henry Bacon and Donn Barbour. Radio Club 2, 3, 4, Camera Club 1, Z, 3. WILLIAM BELL New York LIlLl'Z1l?7'Slfj' Ever since Mr. Nye has had us sing about the grim gray Pal- isades, etc., in assembly every Wednesday, Bill has wanted to go to N. Y. U. After he graduates from college Bill wants to enter -business, so in a few years all his friends will be speaking of him as the Merchant Prince of New Rochelle. Camera Clubg German Clubg Local History Club. HOWARD BENEDIKT Hamilton Howie is another of that limited few who can partake in numer- ous activities and many responsibilities, and at the same time maintain a perfect scholarship club record. He has kept silent concerning his plans for later life, but when we couple his hobbies, which are, the theatre, the piano and listening to jazz orchestras, with the fact that he has already acquired quite a reputation through playing in a private orchestra. Howie's future fame seems self-evident.

fi., Wfqxrr J' ELEANOR BINGHAM Here's a girl whose winning personality and affable tempera- ment make her the type that anyone would want for a friend. In addition to athletic tendency, HBingy has a leaning to- ward drawing. and when she goes abroad to school, we sup- pose she will astonish us all with her European sketches. Scholarship Club 1: Tennis 3. 4: Basketball: Majors Club: Senior Council: Volley Ball. . L f f X HERBERT BLAU Come!! XVhat a mind! Herbie's knack of collecting A's and l0OW's on his report card is becoming positively boring. Compared with this chap the rest of us all seem dumb. I don't know what our dear faculty will do without Herbie as a shining example to set up before us poor laboring dumb-bells. Scholarship Club 1, Z. 3, 4: President of German Club 4: Chess Team: Vice-President of Mathematics Club: Classical Club 41 Current Events Club: Camera Club: Purple and VVhite Staff 4. GILBERT BLAUMAN Another of our reserved students. Dear me! these geniuses will be teinpermental. Gil refuses to say what he's going to do but welre having lots of fun trying to guess. CHARLES BOGARDUS - Antioch Charlie is another fast man, and I don't mean in an auto. If there were more in school like Charlie, we undoubtedly would have a good track team but we wou1dn't be winning any scholastic records. Cross Country 3, 4: Track 3, 4. DAVID J. BROWN Syracuse Buddie has only spent one year in N. R. H. S. but in that time he has become one of the most diligent 'tcoppers , and a con- stant irequenter of the library, Some day Buddie says he is going to be an instructor and although he doesn't say what he's going to teach, we bet that whatever it is, he'll be good.
