THE HERMIAD RAYMOND MILTON YOUNG ' Ti: ccluczitirn forms the commcsn mind: just as the twig is bent the tr:-e's inclined. -Pope. Ray comes to us from Sterling Hill with his twin brother. He is a studious young fellow and is even seen reading his books in the bus to and from school. He seldom holds a conversation unless it has to do with a party or something of a similar nature and then he is right there. His greatest amusement is playing the piano, his chief ambition, to enter Storrs. RICHMOND ALTON YOUNG l'x:i nrt sunk whether I'm mr- or my brother. -Tzvafii. Richmond is one of the two Romeos from Sterling and one of the quietest members of '28g yet, through his quietness, his achievements speak for themselves. He will he remembered as a comet player in the school orchestra during his freshman year and as Cappy Ricks's chauffeur in the senior play. We expect to see him at Storrs next year and are confident that his winning smile will gain for him many friends. CLAIRE ELOISE BERARD 0 Rome'-, Ruinvo! Wherefore art thrzu Routes? ---Sl1akrrpra1v'. Claire came to Plainfield High School from Baltic Academy in her sophomore year. She was at once elected class secretary and this year she has been vice-president. By her sweet smile she has become very popular with both boys and girls. We all know that she is going to Hartford for her training but we wonder why. 'Tis sure she will look as sweet in a nurse's uniform as she did as Flnrry in the senior play. ELEANOR MINERVA BRIGGS With thc effect of reed-like slenderncss. --Flrfcllrr. Eleanor is always ready and willing to do anythinjz that will help her class. She possesses a lively schoot ' ' d h spirit an as held many important offices in her four years at P. H. S. Whoever invented the word peach must have had her in mind for that seems the adjective most people apply to her. Eleanor manages to keep deliciously thin while all the diet fiends keep right on gaining. AGNES AMELIA BROWN Time wwrhl, vicar Agnes, is u strange affair. --,'llnlirr1', Agnes, or Peggy, is the smallest member of the class of '28, but it is in size only and not in spirit. She has brightened many a class that would have seemed long and dreary without her. Although not an active participant in sports, she is a very good basketball player and as side center has given us great help in the inter- class games. We shall always remember her as Cleopatra Ann in the senior pla , fo ,h ' y r s e and her lollipop made a great hit with the audience.

THE HERMIAD LEWIS CHAPMAN SAFFORD My mind to me n. kingdom is. ---Dye. No one disputes Lewis's supremacy as the master mind of the class of '28, He is the genius of the class and his name is seen every month on the honor roll. There is nothing too hard for him to learn and his good will helps him in every undertaking. His fine acting as Skinner in the senior play deserves much credit. ARNOLD LIVESEY SMITH O, we yon Swain, a moon-sick, lovelorn youth. -Herrick One is sometimes led to wonder why the procession from the Plainfield bus is held up every morning. There is only one reason: Smithy is lolling at the head of the line. His scholarship used to approach the ideal, but for some sad and sentimental reason his A's are now rather infrequent. Smithy took part in both the junior and senior plays, has played football for two seasons and basketball for one. This year he is secretary of the Athletic Association and president of the Student General Association. WILLIAM BYRON SWEET U'l'he Complete Angler. -Walton. Where to begin listing Byron's activities is a prob- lem, for since his first appearance at P. H. S. in the spring of 1926, he has attended school during oh' seasons on fish. Byron is chiefly known as Doc, the surgical genius from Jewett City. He always has a carefree air and a singular lack of something to do. We all hope to hear great things of Byron in the line of surgery in the near future. THEODORE ALFRED TETREAULT 'klflnppy man happy dole-. AH1'yiuond. Teddy one of the boys of the class, comes from Moosup. He is a very good athlete and has represented Plainfield High School on both baseball and football teams, though his favorite of the two sports is football. He has been popular among his classmates and they honored him by making him their junior class president. His specialty is i'PER'S. WILLIAM EZRA WILLIAMS All great men are dead, and l'm not feeling so well myself. Bill, one of the most popular members of the class of '28, was its president for two years. He is an all- round athlete and was captain of the 1927 football team and of the 1928 baseball team. Bill has also proved him- self to be an actor. Who could resist him as Dick, the good looking American boy of The King's English! Bill may be quiet, but still waters run deep.

THE HERMIAD ETHEL LOUISE BROWNE Small si-rvicc is true service while it lasts. Ethel, known among her schoolmates as Eppie, comes from the suburbs of Sterling. She and Kay and Mad make an inseparable trio. She is extremely fond of typing. What would the class of '28 be without Eppie's hearty laughter? Her gray eyes and her curly hair win her friends everywhere. IDA BELLE BUTLER Butts is one of the most sought-after girls in the class and has served willingly and well on many com- mittees. Her basketball playing deserves mention as she is one of the finest guards the school has ever had. She is secretary of the Student General Association which is perhaps the reason that she made such a fine secretary to Cappy Ricks. DOROTHY MAE CARPENTER f l'he way to a n1an's heart is through his stomach. Dot is seen every day at the lunch counter where she is always delighted to wait on male customers. She is always tardy about bringing her report card back to school, undoubtedly because she so admires the A's and B's strung across it. Dot took a prominent part in the senior play, doing it to perfection. When she leaves school she expects to train for a nurse. CHRISTINA MAY CLARK A silent tongue seeks no trouble. Chris is one of the silent but loyal members of the class of '28, It must not be thought, however, that Chris is bashful: ask one of her friends from Oneco about that. She is conscientious and plans to have her work com- pleted when it is due. GLADYS MAE DAVIS Dainty little maiden, whither do you wander? This girl, who hails from Canterbury, is a shining light in all of her classes. Her main pleasure is to re- ceive typing medals in assembly and her name never fails to appear on the honor roll. How she does it no one knows. She is secretary of the class. Her smile brimzs her many friends. She always manages to keep out of mischief, but she can always be found when she is wanted.
