THE BE ACON 7 IR A FRAN K LIN BOW LES Monk Man delights me not, no, nor woman either. Class Plays. Monk is not a Math. shark as some would fain believe, but he's a good scout anyway, and we don't see how we'll get along without him. He likes to make us think that he is a confirm- ed pessimist but we're mighty hard to convince. Whether we get A's or E's, the world will still move on, and we know that Monk will be right there with us, lending a helping hand and always with his care-free grin. MA RY CATHERINE BLANTON Cataline Her voice was ever soft, An excellent thing in woman. Class Plays. Give Catherine a Caesar and she's perfectly happy. But never start an argument about the value of Latin to the human race or she will just nat- urally make you believe that it is in- despensable to the students, and that it is a priviledge to study it. Just the same Catherine is a good student and she never wastes a moment in foolish- ness. If you do not believe us, look at her report card. Those marks would give us heart failure if by chance they ever appeared upon our cards.

6 THE BEACON 5 ELIZABETH LANDON BERKELEY Follow your honest convictions and be strong:,'. Critic Eureka Literary Society, '22, D913 Class come to order! Miss Berke- ley has the floor! Yes, she has the floor, for she must always have her say be it wise or otherwise. Lil has her opinions and convic- tions and she's not afraid to stand up and defend them. That is why we like her. Perhaps she likes to have her foolishness but what would life be without its wit and fun to relieve the dreary hours of study and toil '? MINER CARL ANDREWS Carl thought, and so thought they all, He said-and so 'twas done. He liditor-in-t'hief Beacon Annual, '23. I 3 Associate Editor Beacon, '2L, 'LIL Ulass President, '21, '22. '23.

You can see by the above record that Carl has been one of the most popular boys ot' our school, as well as of our class. He is the happy combination of a leader and a good sport, ready to work for the bet- terment of the school and always ready to take his part in the merry-making. Carl thinks much and well. He profits in all his classes by getting the best out of them for he is industrious. The school loses one ot' its most versatile students and Carl takes with him the good will and best wishes ol' the school for success, no matter what his undertakings may be.

8 THE BE ACON HUGH BROWN 66ChiC99 'tHe was a man, take him all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. President Student Council, '22, '23. Vice-President Philolethian Literary Society, '22, '23. Football, '21, '22, Chic is a real athlete and one of the best the Old High has ever had. At halfback he is famous for his great end runs and for his unequaled power on the defense. Not only in athletics is he popular for he is one of the best liked fellows in school. As the Presi- dent of the Student Council he has proved a capable leader of his fellow students, Chic makes his personality felt wherever he goes. Everyone likes him and is proud to know him. H1-re's wishing' him success. May he make many touchdowns in the gzune of Life! JOSEPHINE W. BRIDGMAN I spread my books, my pencil try. Vice-President Latin Club, '21, Second Honor Student. Studying is Josephine's strong de- partment. She is always prepared to recite no matter what be the length of the lesson. Some say she's digni- fied, but there they are wrong, for she's always ready to lend a hand, to translate some hard lines or explain this and that. We admire her statli- ness of grace for it bespeaks of know- ledge and power that too few possess.
