ESTHER MAE MATTI (‘Tillie’) Esther has gained a wide and enviable repu- tation as a banter of Baer(s). Home Room Secretary; Girls’ Chorus. JOSEPH PALOMBI He could play well the part of Santa Claus for he would not need false whiskers—that is, provided he powdered them. Track. RUTH JESSIE MILLER A talented musician, a zealous student and a good mixer. Do you wonder that she is so well-liked by all? WARREN A. READER A little red heart should have been given Warren with each R. It seemed as though a different girl yelled for him each week. President Students’ Association ’29; Foot- ball ’28. ’29; Basketball ’28. ’29, ’20; Man- ager of Track ’30; Hi-Y Club; Dre iumatic Club; Athletic Scholarship Award ’29; De- O-Wain-Sta Staff.

Pheto by McClusky ROCKWELL T. MILLER (‘Rocky’) After four years of sad trial the teachers have nearly gone wild, but Rockwell remains the same and only smiles. DOROTHY LONG Long Dorothy or Dorothy Long; right either way you put it. We hear that she longs to be an artist. May she stick to her ambition, how- ever long it may require for her to realize it. In bidding her good-bye, we add that we shall always long for her—this long Dorothy Long. RICHARD WILLIS MUMPTON (‘Dick’) There was a young man named Dick, Who at reporting was certainly slick. He wrote up the sports, And news of all sorts, Just to give Brass Tacks readers a kick. First Slingerland Prize (Boys); De-O- Wain-Sta Staff; Brass Tacks Staff; Dra- matics Club; Hi-Y Club. MARY LOUISE MANSON (‘Wee’) Strange to say, although she is going to be a nurse, she just loves mechanics, and every- thing and everybody that has anything to do with “Mechanics.” Chemistry Club. FELIX PALASH We all envy and admire Felix for his ability to gain honors and hope that he will always hold a place in his heart for the school which has given him the opportunity of which he has taken such splendid advantage. Salutatory; De-O-Wain-Sta Staff.

It must have been one of the ladies. Funzi is certainly a great athlete. Just look at the appendages to his name. R in Football ’26, ’27, ’28; Captain Foot- ball ’28; R in Baseball ’27, ’28, ’29; Cap- tain Baseball ’29; R in Basketball ’27, ’28, ’29; Captain Basketball °’29; Dramatics Club; Sophomore Class President. HARRIET NELLIS (“Happy”) Harriet is so indifferent to the attention of young men that we often wonder if she is a member of the “Man-Haters’ Society.” That is one organization that ought to be done away with. Dramatics Club; Orchestra. MARIO A. RIZZUTO Mario may be a descendant of the Pied Piper of Hamelin for his enchanting music causes a regiment of students to parade after him along the hall. Basketball ’28, ’29, ’30. DOROTHY MARGARET OLDFIELD Red hair, blue eyes, Rosy cheeks and a charming smile— That’s Dot as she comes down the aisle. Home Economies Club.
