THE PUNCHARD CLASS BOOK 1927 VIOLA DELCIE BURTON n Typewriting Awards Glee Club 4 Her friends there are many; her foes are there any? ' ' Who has a smile whenever you meet her? Oh. yes. Viola, especially in shorthand. Then she is at her best. Whenever there is a fellow ' s name mentioned who lives on the hill, Vi can tell you all about him. We wonder how she knows them all. She certainly will miss Brad and Bunk next year, for they had some wonderful conver- sations together up in the back of Room 6. WALTER APPLEGATE DISBROW ■■ Diczy • Football 1, 2, :], i Glee Club 3, 4 Track 3, 4 Better late than never. What, late again, Walter? How many times have you been late this year?

THE PUNCHARD CLASS BOOK 1927 GWENDOLEN CHARLOTTE BRADDON •■ ( aV Junior Play Glee Club 2, 3 Barnard 1 Her unextinguished laughter shakes the skies. Crwen , we haven ' t heard much from you until this year, but it hasn ' t taken you long to win for yourself the title of Class Giggler. They say, Laugh and grow fat. You haven ' t laughed long enough. Gwen was Grandma in the Junior Play and she certainly starred in that with her I warned ye. I warned ye. We hear that you want to take up Medical Research. We are sure we wish you the best of luck but don ' t give up giggling. Then, if you can ' t get alo ng in Medical Work why not compete with Miss Dunn as a future German teacher for Punchard ' ? We hear you love German. Radcliffe College WILLIAM SWANTON BRADFORD Football 4 ■Biir. ' -Bnnr Class Statistics Senior Play What would the world be to us if children were no more? Brad , will you ever grow up? We doubt it. At least every day you have some new baby trick to show us. Then, too, you ' ve been accused of Cradle Robbing. That ' s not a nice thing at all for a Senior to do. Bill never thought much of dancing but it appears that his opinion has changed for who is it that is so faithful every Wednesday night at dancing school? But, then, he goes to Prayer Meeting afterwards, so it may be all right. Live and learn . That ' s the only way to get ahead, Brad. 13

Doc, we all know how you love to talk and you certainly have had your chance. Joe was the detective in the Junior Play. Surely you remember him with his black hair a nd moustache and big nose. Then, if you didn ' t see him as Sir Lucius O ' Trigger in the Senior Play you missed a lot. He likes the Freshman and Sophomore girls, too. Another of those Cradle Robbers. Just ask him who that Freshman is and he will tell you the rest, if it ' s a girl. Joe, when you ' re a Senior act like a Senior. Boston College RICHARD STEPHEN DOUGLAS Dick . Siiooky ' Treasurer 1 Social Committee 2, 3 Barnard Secretary 4 Senior Plav Neat, not gaudy. Fag kick me, me go kick sick eat. Yes, it was Dick who said these cruel words. He was in the Senior Play and although he had only a minor part no one else could have played it. Dick, we didn ' t know that you were bashful, that is, until the Friday that Barnards were announced. But remember, Faint heart ne ' er won fair lady. Per- haps that ' s why you are a Cradle Robber. 15
