ELIZABETH BILL WILLIAM BIPPUS Elizabeth, though deeply engrossed in scrap books and stamp collectors ' albums, still found time to deposit her petite self in the ever-enchanting art department where she indulged in still another of her interests, that of the picturesque. Though small in stat¬ ure, “Betty ' s” friends vouch for her esti¬ mable qualities. Northwest School. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls League. GLADYS BLINDER A transfer from the Cape Cod state, Gladys went her way quietly among us. Sports interested her, both as a participant and as a spectator. Her chief interest (by her own admission) lies in the movies. We wonder just which of the handsome “he-men” she “raves” about most enthusiastically, or per¬ haps the glamorous gowns of the “screen sirens” held special fascination for her. Dorchester (Mass.) High for Girls. Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club. From Vermont Academy came “Bip and with his customary nonchalance, made a niche for himself in the portals of Weaver. A “smooth” guy, “Bip” was the envy of most of his contemporaries when he donned a pair of skiis or slid upon a dance floor. We also hear that his ability as a swimmer was not to be sneezed at. Vermont Academy. MILDRED BLOCK Mildred and her three pals, the Weaver triplets, formed an inseparable quartet at Weaver. Despite her quiet demeanor, her numerous interests, particularly the love of sports, linked her with many other Wea- verities, and her activities were far reaching. Mildred’s soft eyes and inviting smile gathered many willing companions. Frank A. Brackett School. A. A.; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Girls’ League; French Club; Honor Society; Latin Club. JACK BLOOM A casual observer would say Jack is a quiet boy. Upon looking twice he might say that Jack was asleep. As an outlet for excess energy he gave his services to the Dramatic Club. His mind was really quite active, appearances notwithstanding. It has been rumored that his favorite song is “Happy Daze Are Here Again.” Northwest School. Chemistry Club; Dramatic Club, Treasurer; Honor Society. PHYLLIS BLUMENTHAL “Seek and ye shall find” is a well-known adage, but you would have to search far and wide to find someone just like “Phyll.” She has all the requirements of a true friend . . . warm interest in your troubles, a cheering sense of humor, and a. geniune understanding of human nature. Add to these qualities, a fine dramatic ability and a remarkable talent for writing, and you have an outstanding personality. Northwest School. A. A.; C. H. L. S.; Dramatic Club; Girls League; Latin Club; Portal Board. FREDERICK BLUMBERG A happy-go-lucky fellow, “Fred” fairly teems with ambition. As the proverbial duck takes to water, Fred takes to history, and he is never so happy as when expound¬ ing a theory or arguing a point. This ver¬ bose chap of the booming voice lent his artistic talent to the Dramatic Club between arguments. Frank A. Brackett School. Chemistry Club; Dramatic Club. SYLVIA BOLOCOFSKY Sylvia’s greatest delight is in adding pic¬ tures of gorgeous movie sirens and dashing heroes to an already overbrimming collec¬ tion. One of the quieter members of our class, she sat primly and silently with the latest picture of Clark Gable, observing the bedlam caused by passing students, but never contributing to it. Frank A. Brackett School. Girls’ League.
