ANNA MARIA GATTARI It must have been a difficult task for Mr. McClusky to take her photograph. Why? She can’t keep still! Basketball. JOHN HUGHES (‘Fat’) His opinions (and also his feet) carry great weight wherever he goes. Senior Class Play; Football ’28, ’29; Hi-Y Club. DOROTHY GOETSCHE Dorothy would never consider doing any- thing by hook, but by (Crook) well, that’s a different matter. Home Room Chairman; Brass Tacks Staff. CARLTON JAMES His cheeks are turning so rosy that we are beginning to think he is using cosmetics. De-O-Wain-Sta Staff; Hi-Y Club. MILDRED GOODRICH If you don’t believe she’s the most innocent little girl in all Rome Free Academy, you should just see her and (Oscar). —Photo by McClusky.

DOROTHY EVANS “Dot” hurrying here and “Dot” flurrying there, Looking for adventure, and a tuft of “Red” hair. Library Club; First Prize Slingerland (Girls); Senior Play; Public Speaking Honor. JAMES T. GRIFFIN (‘Jim’) Jim’s idea of “lots of fun” is wrecking the Roosevelt and terrifying the school with his famous yeils. Despite these rather rough antics, his popularity and qualities of leader- ship should carry him a long way. President Senior Class; First Prize (Boys) Vernon Center °29; Second Slingerland Prize (Boys); Debating ’29; National Fo- rensic League; Boys’ Public Speaking Honor; Senior Play; Areopagan Society 28, ’29; Dramatics Club ’29; Manager Football ’29; Tennis ’28, ’29; De-O-Wain- Sta Staff. MARY FASANI Can we ever forget Mary? Everyone knows that it is indeed very difficult for her to “fer- mez la bouche.” Also some of us know that she can speed all she wishes, for the only fine she pays is flirting with the cops. JOHN HICKMAN The wizard of the classroom. His great wis- dom, celerity and accuracy of decision have compelled us all to look on him with mingled feelings of respect and amazement. The mem- ory of him should be an inspiration to all en- terprising Sophomores and Juniors. Valedictorian; Senior Class Secretary; Chemistry Club; De-O-Wain-Sta Staff; Brass Tacks Staff; Orchestra. INA EUGENIA FREDERICI (‘Bubbles’) Those of us who knew Ina of old are won- dering what has become of that extreme re- serve by which she was characterized in the days when she wore curls down over her shoul- ders, and said “Oh My” instead of “Hot Dog.” De-O-Wain-Sta Staff. Home Room Sec- retary and Treasurer. —Photo McClusky.

JOHN HAROLD JAMES The short but sturdy junior partner of James Bros., Inc. MHarold’s achievements in track and cross-country will long be remem- bered. Cross-Country ’27, °28; Captain Cross- Country Track ’28, ’29, ’30. DOROTHY GRIFFIN (‘Dot’) We all agree that Dot is beautiful, but the best part of it is that she is not one of that beautiful but dumb kind. It takes a real stu- dent to graduate a year ahead of her class. Then, too, Dot was an active officer of the Thompsonian Club. Fourth Academic Honor; Library Club; Chemistry Club; Debating Club; Student Council; Freshman Prize ’28; First Prize (Girls) Slingerland ’29. RALPH HOWARD JONES Who does a noble deed today, To help another on his way. And here for Ralph we’ve had our say. Hi-Y Club; Orchestra. THERESA MARIE GULLA But few are able to give Theresa any com- petition. She stands head and shoulders above us all, having broken all recent and long- standing records for rapid speech. WESLEY KOSLER If the action of Wesley’s heart is as slow as that of his limbs, we are afraid he won’t live long. —Photo by McClusky.
