Beyer, Eleanor HEI is without a doubt the tiniest girl in our class. She is an officer of the German Club and is very active in Girl Scouting. She seems to be looking forward seriously to her future work. Her ambition is to be a technician. We wish her success. Boerner, Henry With the choice of sports as his favorite pastime, Henry has been seen participating in both track and tennis. He is always ready to tackle a difficult problem in algebra, es- pecially advanced. Moreover his three years' membership in the German Club proved him to be just as studious as athletic. Briard, Raymond It would be a safe bet that Ray has read nearly every available book and magazine in our school libraryg for no matter where or when one meets him he is sure to have a dif- ferent book or two which he reads both for schoolwork and pleasure. When not reading or studying, he has found time to take up a little journalism, mostly with our school paper. Brierly, Mary Although Mary has been much more quiet than others, her silence has in no way hindered her progress during her past four years here, because today we see her right with the rest of us, sharing the honors of graduating from high school. So as fellow classmates we wish that your road to success is as Golden as 'tSi1ence is thought to be. L J

Backus, Donald Still water runs deep In inquiring about his activities in high school, one would find that Mr. Backus' favorite pastime is sports. He went out for a little of football and basketball but his most prized ac- complishment is his four successful years of baseball. Here's hoping your career of sports does not end with your school days but continues until you have reached the top. Baran, Walter Although Walter seems to talk very little, he always has the faculty of saying something witty when he engages in con- versation. May your old combination of silence and humor bring to you in later years as many friends and as much suc- cess as it did in the past yelrs. Bauman, Charles Mention dancing or music, especial'y something hot, and Bus is all ears. He, too, has become an addict of that Thing Called Swing and does he get around! He likes also Ger- man, astronomy, and chemistry and he states emphatically that he hates women??? Benton, Jean The Seniors agree in one thing anyway, namely, that Mother Nature surely didn't do Jean an injustice, for they have chosen her as the most popular girl, the girl with the prettiest hair and in a tie for first place, elected her as the prettiest girl. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club, the Por-Je Staff and has been one of our active cheer leaders.

Brzezowski, Eugene 'AGene shall always be remembered by the Class of '38 for the excellent work he has done in editing this Year Book. In addition to this, he is a member of the Por-Je Staff, Le Cercle Francais and the Boys' Hi-Y. He has been chosen the smartest and most active boy in the Senior Class. His smile and pleasing personality have made him a favorite among his fellow-classmates. He has not yet determined his future work, but we know that he will be a success in whatever he undertakes. Burgess, John When all votes were compiled from our questionnaire, Jack's name appeared twice in the final standingsg chosen first, as the greatest woman haterC?J and second, in a tie for first place, as the most bashful boy. His lasting loyalty has kept him in high esteem with his friends both in and out of school, in the Hi-Y, Debating Club and during his few months' stay at C.M.T.C., Plattsburgh. Cap:-io, Rose Rose hails from the Fourth Ward. In school she spends much of her time assisting in the library. She is seen very frequently heading toward the skating rink. Her popularity has provided for her an active and enjoyable life in school. Chekoski, Julia The Seniors seemed to have very little difficulty in decid- ing who was the Noisiest Girl, Wittiest Girl and the girl with the Biggest Line, for Julia received nearly every vote. Every- where she is considered a popular girl, especially in the Girls' Hi-Y, Glee Club and the German Club.
