THE “Booky” BEULAH BARMASH Northeast School; A. A.; CJirls’ League, Member¬ ship Committee; Girls’ Business Club, Executive Board; “Lookout” Typing Board; Choir; Class Book Typist; No Demerits; Never Tardy; Bank Cashier; Inglesitle Club. Beulah was a familiar figure in the halls of our clear old school. This demure young lady was always neatly and carefully dressed. We hear from her friends that “Bookie” can play the piano rather well, being attracted more to the lively popular songs than the more sedate classics. Although not a member of the Weaver Dramatic Club, Beulah was quite active in the Florence Nightingale Club, a group which several times presented skits for our Girls’ League. While it was not easy for her to make friends, Beulah made herself indispensable to her own circle of companions. ECHO “Pickles” ISADORE HYMEN BELESKIE Northeast School; Advertising Manager, Assistant Circulation Manager and Editor of Music of “Lookout”; Boys’ Club; Choir; Inter-High School Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Senior Glee Club, Pres¬ ident and Vice-President; Member of Reception Com mittee. “Pickles’ ” strength could not be judged by his size, for he derived great stamina from Grape Nuts. He could be frequently seen displaying his muscles whenever a question of strength arose. His vim and vigor were noticeable mostly when he was violently beating on the kettle-drums. He was one of the most valuable members of the Senior and Inter-High Orchestras. His ability to play the drums and play them well will be an asset to him in future times. “Pick” was also a “whiz” when it came to playing golf, and he could be heard to utter frequent challenges when the subject was brought up.

“Sadie” SADIE BACKER Northeast School; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Class Book Typist; Girls’ Baseball Team; Never Tardy. Sadie is so quiet that many of her classmates don’t really know her. We unfortunates regret this, and envy those who have the pleasure. However, to those who do know her, she is a very pleasant companion. Snobbishness and grumpiness are not in her character, for she is always oblig¬ ing and agreeable. A ready smile for all her friends and acquaintances is a part of her charm and she is per¬ petually good natured and jolly. Sadie was always one of the first girls to be in school in the morning and did her work conscientiously and pains¬ takingly. With such adequate equip¬ ment — cheerfulness, helpfulness, and amiability, we are sure that the business world will find her a welcome addition. ETHEL VIOLA BAILEY North West School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Senior Choir. Viola was one of the few intrepid female members of the classes in two of our most difficult subjects, chemistry and geometry. This fact alone, we think, deserves praise, for scarce indeed were those of her sex who ventured to try their luck in these rather formidable lines. There’s one thing we would like to ask “Vi.” Every afternoon after school, she is driven home in state in a blue car. Now, what we’re anxious to find out is who this kind and interested young gentleman is. Is it your uncle, your grandfather, or some other well- meaning relative, eh, “Vi”.

SUSIE BENMAOR SARAH BOGORATT Northwest School; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club, Chairman of the Fund Committee. “Susie” was among the quieter element in our school and to the casual observer appeared to be extremely reticent and rather shy. However, her sociability became apparent when one became intimate with her. She was always willing to help, — especially in Room 216 when the regular gathering was held every morning to read short¬ hand. “Susie” was always unobtrusive, kept to herself most of the time and did not participate in many of the school activities. Shorthand is her major subject, and she takes a great deal of interest in it, always studying diligently and conscientiously, doing well in her class. Northeast School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Glee Club; Ingleside Club; “Lookout” Typist; Senior Choir. Although “Sue” is one of the more quiet and inactive members of our class, those who know her best appre¬ ciate her loyalty and affability. They do say she shows herself very much to advantage on a dance floor. History was one of her favorite studies and “Sue” availed herself of many of the courses in this subject offered here. One of her most outstanding traits was her faculty for sympathizing with any about her who were in difficulties. In the opinion of her immediate compan¬ ions, Sarah will always be, as I heard one of them express herself, “one of the most understanding girls I’ve ever known”. [ 18 ] Fort iina Fortibuis Favit
