THE HERMIAD EMIL JALO WUORIO I-'ainth eart never won fair lady. ACervantes. Emil is a living example of the truth of the saying quoted above, for Moosup is an attractive place and you can get there if you will, Son. Emil is one of the popular boys ln the class of 1930. He plays on the basketball and football teams, is an ambitious physical trainer-ask his leaders- zind is a great help to his teachlers, generally. We think he will become an admirable photographerg witness thatnhe even unselfishly sacrificed his class time to aid Mr. Pappayion. BESSIE BIRDIE BABCOCK Her eyes outshine the radiant beams, That gild the passing shower. -Burns Bessie, who comes to us from Plainfield, is an active member of the girls' Basketball team, and for the past year has shown her ability as a P. T. leader. Her name is rre- quently found on the honor roll. We learn that some day Bessie inthends to become a school mam, She will surely rule with an iron rod, ELIZABETH BAKER VVhatc-'re she looks on pleases her. -Browning. E'izabeth Baker, alias Betty, is one of our most promising students. During her four years with us we have never leard Betty report unprepared in any class, for she is an honor pupil, the joy of her teachers, and the envy of her classmates. She is going to Normal School and we shall look forward to great things from her. MARY LOUISE BOISCLAIR The maiden with the meek brown eyes. -Longfellow. Tootie', is a serene, brown eyed maiden from Sterling, well liked by all because of her pleasing ways and ready smile. She is studying to be a stenographer and we all wish her success in the business world. HILDA BUNNING 'iVVell-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. -Tupper. Hilda, one of the unobtrusive members of the class of 1930, hails from Oneco and we hear that she rates high with lioth the masculine and feminine population of that met- ropolis. Her favorite car is a Chrysler and her favorite hrand of baking powder is Davis.

THE HERMIAD VVALTER REESE Ulf all seconds were as averse to duels as their principals, very little blood would be shed in that way. -Colton. Vl'alter is one of the most popular boys of the Senior Class, and his ready wit has often livened many a weary lfour. His black hair and dark sparkling eyes have caused much havoc among the feminine portion of the school. VVe will always remember him for his excellent portrayal of Fighting Bob Acres in the Senior Play. VVILLIAM JOHN ROMANOFF 'fSecret and self-contained and solitary as an oyster.' Hot Dogf' as he is known to a few of his closest .ac- quaintances, hails from the wilrls of Canterbury, As he is a quiet sort of a chap whose favorite pose is an imitation oi The Thinker and as he is not given to breaking into a crowd, he is not as well known as some others in the class. His favorite occupation is keeping the keys on a typewriter in motion and owing to this fact he has won many typing pins. He is considered the best speller in the commercial department. He is an honor pupil and usually manages to excel in English. PAUL WESLEY SHIPPEE The thing of beauty is a joy forever. -Keats. Handsome, debonair, smiling, yet cynical withal, our Paul from Sterling is perhaps the most popular boy in the class. An athlete of prominence, he has been captain of the football team, captain and catcher of the baseball team and one of the best basketball players the school has ever had. Surely it will be hard to raise some one to Fill his place. JOHN THOMAS WEAVER Two heads are better than one. -Heywood. John, alias Pat, who hails from the metropolis of Cen- tral Village, is rarely seen without his better half, Wizzy. Pat was once a bashful boyg we wonder why his road work between, Wauregan, Moosup. and Central has changed him. Some day we shall see him managing a chain store in the town of Plainfield. EDWARD JOSEPH WIEZBICKI Then he will talkeye gods! How he can talk. --Tarkington Did someone mention wise cracks? YVhy, Wizzy was the primeval squirrel that cracked the first nut. An opponent, after a dispute with VVizzy, finds himself in a complete daze. VVizzy's chief ambition is to be an orator. He is noted in school for his ability to find an argument over everything in general and nothing in particular.

THE HERMIAD RUTH MAY CATHCART Gay she is, also petite, Talkative and oh! so sweet. fDrummond. Ruth comes to us from Jewett City. She is one of the smallest members of the class. Although she has not taken an active part in athletcis, she has always been a loyal supporter of the Orange and Black. Ruth is noted for her willingness to help others and her devotion to Elsie. She is always cheerful and just loves chemistry experiments. It is said that she is very fond of sweets. We wonder why? EVANGELINE COOKSON 'fFair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair. -Pope. Evangeline came all the way from Maine to be a member of our class. She plays forward on the girls' baskxctball team and has proved to be a great asset. She has also dis- ylayerl great ability and skill in playing the piano. Her graceful slenderness, golden locks, and sparkling eyes have won her many admirers, especially among the masculine members of the school. ELSIE MARY DALEY Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Heywood. Elsie Mary Daley, just Elsie, comes from Moosup. She is one of Plainfield High's brilliant and popular students. She has a remarkable gift of giggling of which she gives evidence in most of her classes.

DAISY MAY DAWLEY No solemn sanctimonious face I pull. -Hood. Daisy, who is known for her sunny disposition, represents Mcosup in the commercial department of P. H. S. If you find the main room quiet it is quite certain that Daisy is not present. She, Fidelis, Claire, and Amelia form an i.i- separable quartette. Daisy showed her oratorical ability when she spoke in the Junior Speaking Contest. Although she does not participate in athletics, her school spirit cannot be questioned. DORIS MARY DRUKENBROD She is shy and of Friendship sure, Auburn locks and eyes dernuref' -Palgrave. Doris, the champion salesman of P. H. S., is noted for her loyalty, loyalty to her home town Sterling, and loyalty to her school. Her dramatic ability she demonstrated in the Junior skit on Stunt Night. Doris constantly wears a cheer- ful smile and will always appaeciate a joke. Her auburn locks have the type of permanent that does not need renewal. Her ambition is to become a school teacher and we tiink she will make a good one.
