PURDON JOSEPHINE ELIZABETH SMITH Sie is the small girl of the class But yet a very well liked lass In music she knows all about The sharps and flats--the ins and outs The talking picture has no say VVhen Purdon starts to talk away She talks so fast-she talks so strong That half the time her talk's all wrong Wbadda You Care URDON JOSEPHINE ELIZABETH SMITH was born January 6, 1913 in the vicinity of North York. Purdon has been a member of the class since she started school and they are very proud that she really stayed with them, as many who started have finally slipped away. Prunes is one of the all-round laughers of her class, although this class is noted for its laughers. Purdon can usually be heard among the loudest. Otherwise Schmitt is a very quiet girl, attending to her own personal duties. As an active student, Zara is about up to par. She was a member of the volleyball team '27, but discontinued playing after that. She was also a member of the basketball team '29. Schmitty has great talent along the line of music, being connected with the spring concert '28, music contest '27 and glee club '27 and '29, As for the operettas, she appeared in both '29 and '30, In 1930 Purdon was assistant librarian and assistant circulation manager of the SCHOOL NEWS '29. Puddin is a very jolly lass and one who retains many friends. She is always making some kind of a funny face, making the other students laugh at her and in the end she laughs herself. When she laughs she squirms all around and makes the scene appear more comical. Smitt's aim in her future life is to be a nurse. She wishes to be helpful to others and to follow the line of work for which she thinks she is best fitted. 29

DRUSILLA GRIM SHINDEL She is a very charming girl Her r's in French can twirl and twirl Her curly hair, her merry laugh Put all her friends on her path She ls the baby of our class But yet a very studious lass Her dimpled cheeks, her pearly teeth All make her boy friends lose their speech 'OIa, Yeh RUSILLA GRIM SHINDEL is only fifteen, having been born in the small burg of Roundtown, September 27, 1914. She spent all of her school days in the North York schools, and nobody is sorry. Silley is a very merry lass. She is happy at all times. When any joke is being told you can always see Tiny in the middle. She is very industrious and is one of the brilliant students of the senior class. She can always be found at her home and at her dad's restaurant, where she is an old hand at charming the customers with smiles and orders of soup, dinner, and milk shakes. Dru seems to have much vocal ability. She was in the glee club in '28, '29. She participated in the operettas in '29, '3O. She is a whiz at volleyball. She played this game every year that she was in high school, '27, '28, '29, '30. She was the assistant secretary of the senior class in '28. In the senior class play of '30 she was a giggling, wide- awake young American girl. She was laughing, but this is quite char- acteristic of her. Sil is a Wow of a basketball player, being a star guard during the years of '29 and '30, All the good morning exercises that the seniors gave were due to the activity of this young lass, who certainly knows her onions. Suddar wishes to be a school teacher and will acquire more learn- ing at a higher institution. 28

HERBERT STOVER STARE The chemist of the class is Herb You always see him at the curb And talking to a lady fair For news-not for her love-says Stare A Scotchman he turned out to be So Scotch that he can scarcely see No penny goes to waste on shows ,ind from the girls he shirks and goes Act Your Agev ERBERT STOVER STARE was born March 23, 1913, in the aristocratic section of North York. All Herb's life he spent in this community, and he is a very popular boy, especially among the opposite sex. Q Sonny Boyn is one of the automobile fiends of his class. In his lei- sure time you may be sure to see him driving an automobile around the town. What for? Who for? No one knows, but nevertheless thereis a reason back of it all. But why shouldn't he, if she likes cars? There's a big ride waiting for her. Herbie has been a very activefboy during his high school career. Most of the success of the SCHOOL NEWS must be credited to him, as he was a member of the business staff of the NORTH YORK SCHOOL NEWS, '27, and business manager '28 and '29. He was the student base- ball manager '29 and participated in the class play of '29. In music he shows about equal talent with his other studies, as he was a member of the operetta of '29, Scottie is one of the few French students of the class, and he sure knows his French. At the end of his senior year Herb was seen taking trips to G'burg. There must be something to it. Stover's aim in life is that of a chemistry professor. Why has Herb placed this as his ideal? No doubt because he is interested in school teaching and because it is the subject for which' he is best suited. 30
