GERTRUDE BLOOM “Gerty” “Look round the habitable world; how few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue Gertrude is another one of our quiet, brown-eyed maidens. And Gertrude i s smart, because we frequently see her name on the Honor Roll. Gertrude plays the typewriter like Pade- rewski plays the piano. We know she will make good in life, for she has every re- quisite for a successful career. JENNINGS CHAPPELL “Chap” “Cares may come, sorrows run free, But my heart is ever filled with glee.” Yes, this is exactly what our sunshine boy thinks. When the lessons are hard and the “test” comes next period, Jennings just sits up and laughs and tells us not to wor- ry, “For what’s the use,” says he, “if you pass ’em, you pass ’em, and if you flunk ’em, you flunk ’em.” We know Jennings will be successful in life, by his smiling countenance. Good luck to you, Jennings. MILDRED CHAPPELL “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.” Mildred is thoughtful and a talented young miss. She has won our hearts dur- ing her stay with us by her pleasing dis- position and interesting personality. And she can sing. We sometimes envy her sweet melodious voice, which carries our hearts away when it is heard. ROY CLENDINNING “Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” It’s hard to tell what we would do with- out Roy. His forever gaiety and laughing disposition, has made him an invaluable classmate. He is also Mr. Weiss’ right hand man in mechanical drawing class. We know Roy will make a success in life, be- cause his ever ready helping hand was fre- quently given in times of need.
