6 THE GARNET AND WHITE (Class Jinll William Thomas Baird Commercial ‘'Happy am I. from care im free. Why aren't they all as contented as me.” Class Treasurer. Ill: Senior Adviser. IV. Bill is one of our Commercialites without whom our class would be incomplete. If we forget everything else about Bill, we can never forget his laugh. He has a laugh all his own with which we are all familiar and perhaps many of the teachers have become acquainted with it. Bill intends to take up a trade after leaving High School. We wish him success in what- ever he undertakes. Hervey Ballou Scientific “To those who know him best a friend most true and hearty. Swimming Team. II: Track. II, III. IV: Dramatic Club. III. IV: Rainbow Volley Ball Team. IV. Although Hervey has been with us only three years of the four, he has established a name for himself as one of our radio experts. Hervey is mechanically inclined and expects to take up an engineering course at Penn State next year. Hervey is one of our jovial fellows who always tries to look on the bright side of life. We wish him success in the future. Charles Bernard Beidler General “A quiet chap who does his work and does not talk about it. Orchestra. I. II. III. IV: Typewriting Certificate. Ill: Type writing Medal. IV: Radio Club. Ill: Commerical Club. IV. Bernard is one of those silent boys, but the silent boys are often the best. There is perhaps a reason for this: Bernard is a radio fan. and radio is enough to drive anyone to silence or even to hermitage. Bernard may be silent, but he makes up for that on his violin and typewriter, the two making enough noise for three. Bernard intends to take a Post-Graduate course next year. Valerie Bicking General “Ever ready with a merry joke. She’s sure to cure your blues.” Girls' Glee Club. I. II. III. IV: Health Crusaders. I. II: Science Club. Ill: Orchestra. Ill; Dramatic Club. III. IV: Mixed Chorus IV.: Senior Adviser. IV: History Club. IV. We all wonder just how High School will progress next year without Val?’’ We know we shall miss her because she’s so jolly, and so we know the rest of H. S. will too. Val’’ is as cheerful as can be: of course, there are time when she’s not: but no secrets are mentioned here. Val expects to go to Normal next year, and we all wish her the best success and happiness in her new school.

Ann. who has won us much fame in oratorical contests. Ann not only excels in speaking; she also writes remarkably good free verse. This was shown by The Smokestake” in the poetry number of the GARNET AND WHITE.. Ann is an all-round bright student and good sport lor there is nothing too hard for her to try. and. in trying, to do well. She has two hobbies, arguing and dueling, both of which she enters into with enthusiasm. Mount Holyoke should consider itself lucky that Ann has chosen it for her college. Wili.ard Marr Commercial On their own merits modest men are dumb. Assistant Class Treasurer. I: Freshman Basketball Team. I: Tennis Team. IV: Monitor. IV: Senior Adviser. IV: Class Treasurer. IV. Willard is a jolly, good fellow,” who. ever since the Fresh- man year, has been willing to give substantial support to any- thing from a basketball team to a Hi-Y Club. Such boys as Willard can t be kept down, so you see him in the fore of al- most every happening in the school. Willard is going to Pittsburgh next year to take a place in an oil company.
