1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 KATHERINE LOUISE JOYCE Classical Course Nickname- Irish There is a time for everything. One of our quiet and retiring members. When Kathryn makes an announcement she does it in a whimsical and shy little way. She has the manner of a child that has been caught with its fingers in the jam pot. Now we stop to think of it, Hdonft worry seems to be Irish's policy in life. When the rest of us are gray with the multitudinous cares of the world, she will doubtless be as fresh and graceful as ever if she continues with her present philosophy. With all her careful attitude and happy smile, Kathryn has a courageous heart which has won everybody's admiration and respect. ' HAROLD DIMERLING General Course Academic Contest-Pl. Geometryg Senior Football Team. Nothing to blush for, nothing to hide. As a student Dimerling has been one of the bright lights in the class, for when the teach- ers call upon him for a recitation they are sure that it will not be far from perfect. In spite of his good work in class, he can always find time for a joke, practical or otherwise. From our association with him during his sojourn at R. H. S., we are sure that he will make a success of anything to which he puts his hand. MARY DOROTHY BREHM General Course Nickname- Chuckie Work first and then rest. Dorothy takes her studies seriously and pushes ahead with a firm tread. From her, we have learned that perseverance is an art that should be mastered, for in the past we have seen her time and again reach the goal. We only wish we could be a radio and broadcast Chuckie's many merits and virtues. Throughout our high school days she has been a good friend of ours, and we hope we have been good friends to her.

1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 EDYTHE EVELYN BETZ General Course lvIi1'nge Stuff: Chorus, '24g Dramatic Club, '23!: Debating Club Secretary: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Betty My meaning in saying he is a good man ls to have you understand he is sufficient. Stop! Look! Listen! What have we here? Why it is Edythe, to be sure. Her hearty, genial, good-naturedness is appreciated by all who know her. And any one who marks the pomp and glory of her social success can but stop and wonder. Have you noticed Edythe's . . . . . . . . ? Goodness! But we must be discreet and not give up her secret or trouble may await us. She is a pleasant girl who never tires of giving a helping hand-or a stray powder puff. We thank you, Betty and we know you'll have good luck. ERNEST ALLISON General Course History Contestant, '24g Mirage Staffg Choral C'lub. Nickname- Ernie What shall I do to be forever known? Ernie has always been something of a Shiek and wherever there are girls, there you'll find Ernie. But in spite of this he al- ways manages to see that his marks are at or above par. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow who believes in doing all his study- ing just before exams. LOUISE DOTY General Course Class Treasurer: History Contestant, 22: Dramatic Club, '23-'24g Debate Team, '24g Mirage Staffg D. K. D. Club, Nickname- Duty Glad to 'receive some instruction from this fellofw-partner. Here we have another Teacher's Pride. You never see Louise without her lessons, and say! Did you ever hear her debate? Stay clear. You'd never win! Doty is a good fellow amongst us, and never shirks her duties. She is just kind o' placid like, and always un- ruffled. Her highest aim is to be a missionary. All we have to say is: Those heathens don't know what they're getting and won't be able to appreciate her. Louise's tact and spontaneity have won her a permanent place in our hearts. R H S Twen ty-five

1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 DOROTHY HELENA CRAVEN A General Course 1 5 Mirage 'Staffg Chorus, '243 Dramatic Club, '24g D. K. D. Clubq H. T. VV. Club. Nickname- Dot Y 'May you live as long as ou like A i ll , , And have all you like as long as you live. ' Dot is there when it comes to tickling the ivories and you should hear her sing. She does not believe in overtaxing the mental capacities of the brain and therefore takes life very easy, as a sensible Senior should. Dor0thy's ideal of a man is one with red hair. When she isn't in school we can look for her in-'s Ford. Her ambition is to be a nurse and we know she will be a huge success. Well Dot, he-re's to your health, wealth, love and happiness, and may no ill dreams destroy your rest. 4 WALTER HUNT General Course IJ. D, D. Club: Senior Football Team. Nickname- Icky I am about to weep. Icky is a man of very few words, but this seems to be a virtue rather than a fault. The faculty has had no cause for fault-finding in his work or behavior in class. On the con- trary, he might well serve as an example for some of our less dignified students. The fact that he comes from Baden, that little hamlet which lies somewhere up the river, has not seemed to hold him back in the least but he has forged ahead steadily. For his ability and earnestness of purpose he will undoubted- ly be a student among men as he has been among his class mates. LONA MARGARET KIDD Commercial Course Leap Year Club. Nickname- Tony And all that sort of thing. And yet another Bridgewaterian from the city of Walter's Home Made Bread, guaran- teed to maintain life. Lona's eternal sweet- ness and all around efiiciency are the out- standing characteristics which will be remem- bered longest by her class mates and chim? Truly here is a girl after our own hearts for she has so many different sides to her ' character that four years of knowing her have 4 left many things still to learn. We sincerely hope that her home town will continue to Q send more of her type to our school, and may 3 they and the school both prosper. i 1 , R H S Twenty-seven
