THE ORIFLAMME CHESTER BLASZKA Dom Dom would be the mystery man in the brown derby if he had a brown derby. To frighten the Frosh he wears a turtleneck sweater. The postoffice, the corner, and the borough hall being occupied, Dom awaits his fiame down by Becker's. And with what handwriting he pens his billets-doux. It has more fiourishes and curves than a snake's backbone. WARREN BOORAEM Pee Wee Take a deep breath before you attempt to say Pee Wee's full name. It is Warren Joseph Klauser Booraem. Such a little fellow to be burdened with a name like that. Miss Kelley gazes and her wonder grows that one small head can carry all that War- ren knows. But Pee Wee is a good sport and is always doing his bit for the class. OLGA BOSKO Olga seems to be a tall, languorous person, but by those who know her these thoughts are soon changed. She has a slow, amiable smile in reserve which she uses only for her immediate friends. Olga surely can do shorthand. And can she type! Why, she just burns up that typewriter. We can see where someone is going to get a perfect secretary. HENRY BOWMAN Dick Shy, meek Henry. He is Miss Newman's pet and Mr. Shay's pick. For every time that Miss New- man pampers Henry, Mr. Shay treats him rough. If Henry ever said a word of his own accord, we'd drop over. He must be coaxed into uttering even one syllable. Oh, if only a certain few of our class- mates were thus. lguge eighteen

THE ORIFLAMME . . STEPHEN BECZA BO Here's a fellow who thinks that a little vacation now and then is just the thing for building up re- serve intellectual powers. After Steve comes to school for a day, he usually stays out two in.order to rest up. In History class Bo shines most brightly when a controversy arises in reference to the eigh- teenth amendment. But seriously Steve is a cork- ing, clever quarter-back. Elllifllill STELLA BELSKI Stell We have not heard much from Stella, but they say that still water runs deep. She is often seen in the company of Peg. Stell is quite an athlete, which is a very desirable asset in the eyes of her boy friend. 'Who is he? A certain young member of the basket- ball squad. Am I right, Stell? EBI MURRAY BERMAN Moey Splutter! Splutter! Splish! Bang! Ah, here it comes. Hey, take your false teeth out of your eyes. Look out, I'll bite your toes off . These witti- cisms 171 announce that the one and only mile-a- minute Mo-hee is near. Moey is one of our most ardent rooters, and what a voice. Ei! lill E ETHEL BLAKAITIS When we come to Ethel, we have reached the height of the Senior class . Ethel claims she spends three hours on her French home-work, but we don't know whether she means each night or the total for the year. Ethel is very cynical of the boys in the Senior class, claiming that they are only infants. However. we believe that somewhere there is a big, strong handsome he-man. Page seventeen

THE ORIFLAMME mmm ANDREW BRUCE Andy The big boy with the baby face. Isn't he sweet? Andy has a complaint to make. Every morning he trots down to school puffing like a horse. Then he plaintively asks, Gee, why can't they move the school nearer to my house? That's not askng so very much. Who said we haven't ingenious peo- ple in our midst? ROSALIND CABOT Rosalind is that rather gorgeous creature who came to S. R. H. S. from the good old Bronx. Since Rosalind failed to get 100W in a Chemistry test in which the answers were given on the back of the paper, her honesty f?J is unquestionable. Come on everybody, 1et's give Rosalind the good old Bronx cheer,-I mean a rousing cheer. VEOLUNTA CANNON Peggy Veolunta heads the ballet of the school. What she knows about dancing is nobody's business. If you saw the operetta Pickles , you have a pretty good idea of what Veolunta can do in the terpsi- chorean art. Cannon and Belski are the Damon and Pythias of our class. They are inseparable and have been since way back in the grades. HELEN CHANDO Chandu Squaw is Mr. Lynch's nickname for Helen. She played the part of an Indian squaw in one of our plays, and Mr. Lynch thinks that a real squaw couldn't have done any better. Helen is also the champion gum chewer of the Senior class. In fact she chews so much that no one ever had the oppor- tunity of seeing what she looks like with her mouth closed.
