BERNIECE L. BARBEAU “A light heart lives long.” Northwest School. A. A. lb, 4b; Girls’ League 2a, 4b; Ingleside Club 2a, 4b ; Girls’ Business Club 3a, 4b; Choir 2a, 4b. The first person one noticed ofi entering 227 was Berniece, for she sat in the front seat nearest the door, and she was something to be noticed with her dark hair and laughing blue eyes. Bei’niece was heard, too, for she and Milly held daily “confabs” in the famous corridor of the second floor. FREDERICK W. BARRETT, JR. “Friendship is his second self.” Holcomb Street School. A. A. la, 4b ; Boys’ Club la, 4b, President; Choir 2a, 4b. We wonder where Fred got his “pull” with the teachers. No doubt his freckles and cheerful grin had much to do with it. His work for the Boys’ Club during his presidency won’t be forgotten, either. His manly bearing, friendliness, and red hair have made him very popular with both boys and girls. Athletics, too, came in for their share in his program, and oh, how he can dance! ABBOT W. BENTLEY “God has given you one face and you make yourself another.” Northwest School. A. A. la, 4b, Vice-President: Boys’ Club la, 4b: Choir 3a, 4a ; Baseball 2a, 4b ; Basketball 3a, 4b. Bent once tried to raise a moustache : we counted it every morn¬ ing. But we won’t hold it against you. Bent, because you’re always on your toes, either playing basketball in school or football in the park. Bentley Accounting -.School. 13

CHARLES O. BIERKAN “He that talks much of his happiness summons grief.” Northwest School. A. A. la, 4b; Boys’ Club la, 4b ; Choir 2a, 4b ; Glee Club 2a, 4b; Reception Committee; Junior Usher; Honor Student. Never tardy. Charlie was quite a fellow about the class. His stride down the hall and talks with Mr. Burke were well-known. Clad in his envelop¬ ing ulster, he was a right-hand man in the book room. Charlie liked a good time, and liked to tell about it even more. The football season found him energetically leading cheers. W. RODERIC BLISS “Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night; God said, ‘Let Newton be!’, and all was light.” Noah Webster School. A. A. la, 4b; Boys’ Club la, 4b; Junior Orchestra 2a, 3a; Senior Orchestra 3b, 4b; Inter-High Orchestra 4a, 4b; “Chronicle” Editorial Board 3b, 4b, Secretary; Junior Usher; Class Book Editorial Board. Never tardy. Rod has a bent for chem. and physics and all sorts of wild things like that. From what comes to our editorial ears, we fear for the safety of the family at home when he begins to pour things together just to see what will happen. May we editorially and confidentially mention that he also has a bent toward 240 and a pair of brown eyes ? Wesleyan College. VIRGINIA P. BOYD “The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute.” Northwest School. A. A. la, 4b; Girls’ League la, 4b; Choir 2a, 4b; Glee Club 2a, 4a, Librarian; Classical Club 2b, 3a; Art-Crafts Club 2b ; Dramatic Club 3a, 4b, Librarian 3a, 4a, President 4b ; Honor Society 4a, 4b; “Chronicle” Board 3a, 4a, Assistant Editor 3b, Editor 4a ; Editor of Class Book ; Honor Student. No demerits, never tardy. Personality, individuality, originality, capability, wit; and even these qualities do not do justice to our Virginia. “Virgo” is as delight¬ ful as her own beloved Alice in Wonderland. Her charm and delicious candidness have drawn us all and made us her affectionate admirers. Pembroke. 14
