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

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
