PORiEfthl ANNE T. A. GOLDSTEIN “Nan” A list of Nan’s various activities sounds like an excerpt from the “Hand¬ book.” (She frankly admits that she has a good disposition, and who are to dispute a woman with convictions.?)

GOODMAN “Frankie” Although one would not call “Frankie” a woman’s man, nevertheless, he has a decided taste for the ladies, whether hopping about on the dance floor or near the tennis courts.

faflAVeR PPRJRfthl , , „ . .. „ , . HERBERT GLADSTEIN “Nag” “Nag” is the cleverest linguist in our class. Since he became a senior he started to enjoy himself and is now quite different from that youngster of lower class days. Although he has time for play, he mixes his work and enjoyment in the right proportions, and so is one of the smartest in our class. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; French Club; Chemistry Club; Honor Society; Interclass Basketball; Interclass Soccer; Orator; Junior Usher. Never tardy. Trinity. BELLE T.

A.; Girls’ League, Representative, Chairman of Welfare Committee; Matinee Dance Committee. Never tardy; never dc- merited. William and Mary. Teacher. ESTHER GOLDBERG “Es” Esther, the magician. From the damp cold of its early grave she raises the C. fl. L. S. Behold it alive and flourishing. She conjures “Portal” ma¬ terial out of thin air, in full view of the audience.

L aeAve»,’ PORiEfthl ERNEST S. GRISWOLD “Ernie” “Ernie” has a grin with just enough deviltry in it to arouse his teacher ' s ire. The fact is that we recognize the grin first, “Ernie” afterwards. Elis name is almost always to be found on the Elonor Roll. Must be a “gift.” Northwest School. Treasurer of Boys’ Club; A. A.; Honor Society; Chemistry Club; Business Board of Class Book; Junior Usher; Color Com¬ mittee. Never tardy. Antioch. Engineer. EVELYN GROSS “Ev” Fairness, charm, and beauty, the envy of her classmates and the pride of her friends, is exquisite “Ev.” Had she lived when knights were bold, one of the errant lads would have had a faithful maiden. Faithfulness has always been one of her virtues. Northeast School. A. A.; Girls’ League, Representative, Matinee Dance Committee; C. H. L. S.; Ingleside Club; Choir; Junior Glee Club; Girls’ Business Club, Executive Committee, Fund Committee; Essayist; Class Book Business Board. Secretary. LINA GROSS “Li” Lina’s ability to squeeze out of difficulties puzzles the rest of us.

A.; Girls’ League, Junior and Senior Member; Ingleside; Girls’ Debating Squad, President; “Lookout” Editorial Board. Reporter. Never tardy.

Bookkeeper. [ 22 ]
