CLASS BOOK OF NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR I MHiunnmwnmiiiic I Hitmmnnitimiiianmnnniuiiniiiiiiiiuur iiiinajiitiiiiiittair ' imiiiK EVA R. BECKERMAN Brunette, statuesque, the reverse of grotesque.” Henry Barnard School; H. Spanish Club (3); W. Business Club (4); C.H.L.S. (4); Thrift Comm. (4). Our little “Eve”. Be careful lest the snake prevail upon you! Apples soar skyward this year. She was always on the honor roll, no matter how hard she tried to get off. Hard luck—hard luck! EDITH L. BENNETT ‘‘A mill-stone and the human heart are driven round and round.” Northeast School. “Tripie” hasn’t come out much in school life, but that doesn’t make her entirely unknown to us. In fact it is asserted that she is some little dancer. The boys have enjoyed her stay with us, anyway. JULIA L. BERGER “The imitation soon will disappear. But ' Jewel ' remains there bright and clear.” Northwest School; Vesta Club (3); W. Art Club (4); Home Economics Council (4); Home Economics Club (4); Choir (4). We don’t hear much about “Jule” as she is called. Some say she is very wise. So is the owl, and besides, Polonius said, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” BARBARA BILL “7 know a maiden fair to see. Take care! She can both false and friendly be!” Northwest School; Classical Club (4). Bob is not hard to look at, and she is a good dancer. Yet the class did not hand her a very good reputation. The reason is too evident—there are more girls than boys!

CLASS BOOK OF MNETEEiX TWExM Y-FOL JOHN T. BARRETT “7 haven ' t never been to school —7 ainl had no eddicalion.” St. John’s School, Middletown: Class Night Orator (4); Choir (4). Our Howerv-tongued orator. Can’t you see the doors of Congress opening for his kingly step? I thought so—we can’t! The queerest thing about it was that he sprang up over night. HARRY ARENSON “ He is well paid that is well satisfied.” Washington Street School; H. Orchestra (3); Boys’ Club (3); W. Science Club (4). Harry is everybody’s friend, and knows everything that is going on. He shows a rare burst of genius in chemistry, but is generally content to let someone else have the honors. ORPHA ASHWELL She has two eyes so soft and gray; take care!” Northeast School; H. Business Club (3); Vesta Club (3); W. Business Club (4); Girls’ League (3). “Awful Bashful’’ was derived from this young lady’s name, but from all evidence the nickname does not suit her very well. She has a way all her own with the boys, especially dimpled boys. LENOLA ANTUPITZKY “7 always work with all tny might.” Northwest School: C.H.L.S. (4). vice-president (4); W. French Club (4); Classical Club 14), Ex. Comm. (4): Athena (3). Her name always comes at the head of the list, whether on the room list, or among those who organized a new club. Lenola is one of our hard workers, and no venture is complete without her aid.

CIj SS book of MNETEEN TWENTY-FOUR I MARGUERITE I. COWLES Our undertakings are hut toils, and troubles, and heartbreakings.” Northwest School; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps (3) sec. and treas. (3); W.H.S. Dramatic Club (4); Class Night Essayist (4). Yes, this young lady was one of our efficient tellers. An athlete and an actress is she. But as for the latter, Peg heartily agrees that she does not think her name will ever shine in the white lights. STANLEY J. BISHOP This man is quiet, shy, but courteous.” Northwest School; Boys’ Club (3); “Chronicle” (4); W. Business Manager (4); Weaver Club (4); W. Science Club (4), treasurer (4); Classbcxik Editorial Board (4). hrom the vote of the class we would draw the conclusion that Stan is all that’s gentle, kind, and dainty. But don’t believe all that you hear. He has an over-developed faculty of getting e.xcused from gym. Let him disclose the secret: we crave information! MIGA N. ( ' ODRARO I hare promised, and I ' ll be as good as my word.” Brown School; W. Glee Club (4). A quiet, steady individual who is so bashful that she won’t recite in class. LILLIAN COHN Wisdom and innocence combined.” Alfred E. Burr School; 2. Business Club (4), vice-president (4); C.H.L.S. (4). “Lil” rather gave the impression of innocence than wisdom, but her name on the honor roll proves the presence of both characteristics.
