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.

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 l Page twenty EUGENE CHEVRIER Chev When it began to look like a hard winter down on the farm, Chev went up to the attic for his ear- muffs but found that the moths had already done their dirty work. Undaunted our hero showed the true Old Bridge ingenuity by cheating the barber and growing a pair of his own. However Chev is a true friendg he will laugh at anybody's joke. ELEANOR CICHACKI For three years we didn't hear much from Elea- nor. However, we knew something was developing. And now we finally have the finished product, a giggle. Eleanor is a quiet girl except for that giggle, which sends the class into hysterics. She possesses that remarkable characteristic fat least to Seniorsj of blushing, especially when Monsieur Shay bellows at her. El E El MAX COHN Mendel Here is the youngster who invented most of Mr. Shay's nicknames. Elaine is Mr. Shay's official punching bag, as well as chief explosion creator in the Chem. lab. However, he showed us that he can be serious by successfully filling the position of Business Manager of this book. Mendel went out for class basketball, and can he predict scores. LOUIS DOBROWSKY Louie When you see a coat-tail fly around a corner or a nose poke in at a door, it is probably Louie, the house detective, looking for a break. Or he may be lining up possibilities for a new basketball squad or getting a sports Writeup for the Home News . Louie intends to look for a break in journalism when he leaves old S. R. H. S.
