CLASS BOOK OF 1931A DAVID cohi :n “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance ” Northeast; A. A., la-4b; Boys’ Club, la-4b ; Class Book Business Board. Never tardy.

We envied him because of his careless, carefree manner. Regard¬ less of troublesome school duties, his joviality persisted. DAXIIH. CHE REIN “ ' neiids, Romans, Countrymen, lend )ne your ears. B. H. S. : A. A., 3b-4b; Boys’ Club, 3b-4b. Never tardy. No demerits. Dan could certainly use an audience from time to time.

S. : Boys’ Club, 3b-4b ; A. A., 3b-4b ; Soccer Squad. Shy little “Jack,” with his pleasant lisp was quite sullen in class at times, perhaps because certain teachers iiersisted in mis- pronouncin.g his name.
