-Q: James McAndrew Cool and imperturbable, Tho' apt to act with fire upon occasion. Jim is an enterprising fellow who puts in his spare time at the Main Street Gas XVell. Altho' considered rather bashful Jim is always ready to help out young ladies in distress. He ls a Hi-Y member of High standing and is liked by all who know him. Ralph McDowell My voice, my kingdom is. Ilalph is very fond of travelling. He formerly journeyed to Blanc-hville but now the trip has been shortened to Broome Street. Whats the attraction? This Senior has many good polnts,-includ- ing' a fine voice, which has been an addition to the Boys' Glee Club, a suave dapperness, and a handsome dimple. Seriously-we want to know-was it produced by sleeping on a collar button? We wish you success with your voice and expect to hear you broadcasting SOON. Marie McLaughlin What care I what others do? I mind my own business. Marie is one of the most musically inclined girls of the class. We hear her singing the scales incessantly-Do, Re-Mey, Do, Re- Mey . Although she works in W'oolworth's, we often see her riding in a big green car from Pennsylvania. In history class her reply to -who is her favorite explorer-is always Bird. In grammar Marie seems very apt, yet she makes one mistake invariably, for she always says, Ken I? Helen Menges Silence is Golden. llelcn ls one of our quiet, demure girls. She ls very fond of baseball and what startles us is that she always makes a Homer. To be sure, Helen always has her Phil of everything. Helen's name has been on the honor roll during her four years in high school. She is a true friend and a willing worker. As Vice-Presb dent of our Class she has proven herself worthy. NXENXCDRI ES

John MacKechnie What can I do for you, please? Let us introduce Johnnie MacKechnie. our future J. B. Statler of hotel fame, in person. His humorous wit anal pleasing personal- ity have marked him as a real favorite among' his classmates. He has that wonderful something? about him that causes each fair ro- ecl's heart to beat just a little faster as he goes by. For the past year Johnnie has been making a complete study of 1-ler man by Frances and seems to have majored in that subject most success- fully. I-low about it Johnnie? Esther Marsh She has charm and grace and wisdom, too. livery Senior Class has one member to whom the others may look for inspiration. Esther is the one in our class to whom we pay this homage. She has a sweet disposition and a profound love of art for beauty's sake. She excels not only in school work but also in writing poetry and literary articles. Her philosophy can be easily deteeted in her writings. Esther will make a name for herself we are sure and we may be proud to have had her in our class. NXENXGRI ES

Her most delightful class is History C. Gertrude has not enlightened us as to her ambition but whatever she does, the Class of '30 wishes her suc- c-ess. Mary Caroline Patterson l've got the Navy Blues. Mary Caroline spent mubh of her time in school ln the study of Art. Pat has two weaknesses-one, for prospective midshipmen :uid the other, the love of arguing with Miss Cronk. She has well earned the reputation for steady, reliable work and has never failed to appear on the honor roll. Frances Penney Laugh and the world laughs with you. Here is our representative from Jersey. Her sunny disposition has won for her many friends. We wonder why Frances is fond of mechanics? Perhaps she is going to study that line of work. Frances has a bad habit of using slang. If something goes wrong, she can he heard to say Don'it. The Class will miss Mrs. Blood's daily speech. You aren't talking, :ire you, Miss Penney?
