IlMI S s m CLASS BOOK OF NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR uouimiujiaiaiiiiiime | JOSEPH E. FOURNIER “In a wooden house a golden room we often find.” St. Anne’s School; Thrift Committee. He’s rather a quiet chap, and he isn’t so great on the girls. They say still water runs deep, though, and from what we know of Joe we are sure he will succeed at whatever he attempts. EMMA D. GARBER “Present in body, but not in spirit.” Northeast School. Emma’s mind is always about 150 miles from here, but she manages to give us a thought now and then. She drops in at school about once a week to see how the rest of us are getting along. MINNIE GERSTEIN “Less noise, less noise!” Northeast School; Athena (3,4). The English class was quiet. Not a sound could be heard. We looked for the cause and saw an empty seat—Min was absent! ROSE B. GIPSTEIN “Don ' t crowd; the world is large enough.” Arsenal School. If we knew more about Rose we could write a lot more about her. She is, however, one of the strangers in our midst.

CLASS BOOK OF MNETEEX TWEXTY-FOL1? ESTHER EEIH “A creature fond and changing, fair and vain. Northwest School; H. Spanish Club (3). Potatoes, bread and whipi ed cream don’t agree with Esther. We wonder why. ROS. LIND FELDMAN A thing begun is half done.” Henry Barnard Sch(X)l; H. Glee Club (2); W. French Club (4); W. Busi¬ ness Club (4), Ex. Comm. (4); C.H.L.S. (4). Rosalind did not make herself over-conspicuous among our number, but we noticed that when she began a thing she always finished it to her credit. ARTHUR W. FINE Hear, Nature, hear! Dear Goddess, hear! Northwest School. He who has once heard Archie’s recitations in Civics or History will realize that he is not content to remain unknown. We firmly believe that he spent all his spare time immersed in books on those subjects. E. MER( EDITA FISHER “.4s stately as a deer ui ' .h antlers. Northwest Sch(X)l; Sketch Club (3,4); Editorial Board of Classbook (4). Mercedita is trying hard to decide whether or not she wants to be a nurse. We are sure she will succeed at anything she attempts, and wish her lots of luck.

FLORENCE L. GLEASON “ dole on his very absence.” Washington Street School. Florence is fine company on the way home from sch(K)l. .Ask Harold, he knows. She’s a grxxd dancer, too. WALTER O. GREEN “His head’s as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meal.” Junior High School, St. Johnsbury Vt.; Sketch Club (3,4), business man¬ ager (3). Walter is a natural born artist. Some of his pictures are gorgeous. The class thinks h e is the most serious. If you ask him for an explanation, he will point to the owl and say, “Silence!” CARLTON E. HILL ”I never knew so young (?) a body wtlh so old a head.” West Middle School; “Chronicle” editorial board (3,4), asst, editor (4), editor-in-chief (4); H.P.H.S. Dramatic Club (3.4); W. Dramatic Club (4), president (4), “A Chinese Flajpper” (3), “Daddy-Long-Legs” (4), “Three Live Ghosts” (4); Weaver Club (4). chmn. Ex. Comm. (4); W. Student Council (4), president (4); Boys’ Club (3,4); Editor-in-chief of Classbook (4); Thrift Comm. (4). Ah! The height of ambition. Here he is, the absolutely unsurpassible editor of “The Chronicle”—(they all are). We hope he doesn’t get conceited. Some day you may see “Hilly” become a minister—or a plumber; he says minister. Well, keep up the good work. BERNADETTE C. HOYE “ did nol mean lo chide you.” Northwest School; Vesta Club (3,4); A.A. (2,3,4). Home Economic Club, president. “Bernie was named the most dignified by the class. We often wonder just how perfect the class’s judgment was. She has rather forbidding manners, but nevertheless she was an asset to the class of ’24.
