BETTY BURDEN ' Betty is the envy of all the girls for her hair and her always unruffled disposition. She is a shark, especially in English, and if ever her name is absent from the honor roll it is sure to be a mistake. She has traveled a lot, once lived on Guam and in Hongkong, but Punahou seems to hold a fatal attraction for her, as she always comes back. She believes in the motto aim high , and its fulfillment occupies most of her time. WILLARD BUSCHER A charter member of the class of ' 30, Wil- lard left the sixth grade to attend Monte- zuma. The mainland could not hold him, however, and he returned to graduate with the class. He is well known for his taste in shirts, which runs to challis in brilliant colors. Altho ' few know it, he can toot on the cor- net most surprisingly. He is a hiking en- thusiast and a good tennis player. He ' s one of those surprising and little known objects, — a boy who generally steers clear of girls. FAITH CAMERON Faith is one of those blondes — nuff sed, also half of that combination known to fame as the Faithless and Ruthless Camerons. She was once likened to Circe in Ka Punahou, and still gets all het up when reminded of that fact. She is noted for her driving which is speedy but sure, and her last minute assign- ments which always get by. During the term she can be found at the hash house, but holi- days find her headed straight for the Hua- lalai, Maui, and home. NEWTON CAMPBELL A high flier in more ways than one, Newtie is a full-fledged pilot, headed for an aviation school after graduation. His interests are not all up in the air, however, for a hash house member helps to hold him down. He has been a halfback on the football team for two years, as well as pitcher on the baseball squad. His red Chrysler roadster is a familiar sight, and Newtie ' s cheery Want a lift? has got many a boy to the dentist ' s on time. 30

RICHARD BALDWIN Richaril, like Mark Twain, can ' t resist the lure of Hawaii Nei. So strong is his sentiment that when he was away from Punahou in his Sophomore year, Richie sent Bull Wright two whole bucks and a hungry appeal for crack- seed. He plays number one on the hard riding Maui polo four which won the island cham- pionship last fall. Richie seems subdued around school, but the fact that he is a mem- ber of the Kailua gang speaks eloquently to the contrary. ELEANOR BICKERTON Though Bickie has a big outside interest, she has nevertheless proved to be one of the most popular members of this honorable class, with both male and female. There could be no other Battalion Sponsor than Bickie, and as a song leailer we couldn ' t ask for more. We shall never forget the cheery manner in which she starts us otf every morning in chapel with her, Come on, everybody sing! Bickie is good-nature personified and as for personality, we ' ll leave that to you. WALDO BOWMAN Racers, roadsters, cabriolets, — all take shape under Waldo ' s pencil whenever he has, or hasn ' t, a moment to spare. Waldo ' s hands are never idle, so the devil can find no opening here. His chief claim to honor is that he once went to sleep during an English achievement test. His slow drawl and smile are dis- tinctive, — as are his wise-cracks in class. LILA BROWN A big percentage of the giggles ami feminine chortles which daily jazz up our dignified halls of learning can be attributed to Spit Brown. She has a funny bone that sees humor in every- thing, everywhere. In P. G. A. A. Lila piles up points nonchalantly, and she won her let- ter in her Junior year. Tho ' happy, she is anything but go-lucky . Had it not been for her conscientious work as costume chair- man, it is certain that the Spring Play could not ha ' e been produced. 29

DORRANCE CHANDLER Dorrance has a little Ford, Its coat is made of tan. Its tires are made of rubber. And its body ' s made of can. Though she says she doesn ' t smoke Murads, Dorrance is nonchalant in everything she does. She ' s a regular doer, accomplishing much with either her hands, her voice, or her feet. She danced her way to dancing captain. She talked her way to Damon Contest winner. She designed her way to art editor of this annual — and she sneezes her way to chapel 1 JOHN CHILD Like a book agent, Johnny Child wends his way from class to class toting a large brown satchel containing the various portable brains necessary to his scholastic pursuits. Johnny ' s genial smile characterizes him as having a cheery, sociable disposition. This has not, how- ever, deterred him from doing a huge amount of competent work as manager for Ka Punahou. Unruffled Johnny gained widespread notoriety through his valiant attempt to wear Valentino sideburns. Some of Johnny ' s classmates disa- proved. The sideburns couldn ' t stand the gaff, and now Johnny pursues the even tenor of his wav without them. WAI JANE CHUN Wai Jane joined the Class of ' 30 in its Junior Academy stage. Ever since, she has been a leaven to raise the class ' average grade. Her spirited oratorical talents placed her amongst the four best in the Constitutional Oratorical contest. She has shown a huge capacity for hard work in the Ka Punahou office, and again as enthusiastic presi lent in the work of the Chinese club. Both in a scholastic way and in a wide range of school activities Wire Jane has done much for the Class of ' 30. HOWARD CLARKE Bug reels off two dollar words so care- lessly that it is evident that he must read Web- ster for recreation, llpon demand he is always willing to deliver his free orations upon Buddhism and The Pillars of the Anglican Church . However, his linguistic abilities often touch upon subjects of a lighter nature. His sense of humor has made him Ka Puna- hou joke editor on two staffs. If he realizes his ambitions he will be a professor of history at Vale — or Vassar. 31
