Britty would like to be known to all as the Big Brown Brute. In spite of this everyone persists in looking on him as a marvelous athlete, a good student, and a perfect gentleman. That eternal, contagious smile makes everyone consider him a friend. It might well be said—his life was gentle, and the elements, so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, this is a man! BETTY ROSS For only you are lineal to the throne. Vice-president (3, 4); Manager Basketball (3) ; Weather Vane Board (4); Springtime Play (1); Spanish Cub (3, ); Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Christmas Play 2. 3); Chairman Senior Play Property Committee (4) ; Civic Committee (2, 3); Junior Prom Refreshment Committee (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Glee Club (I); Hockey (2); Leader Reporter (4); Class Day Play (4). Betty is one of the famous Rosses, the lineage from which W. H. S. has picked so many distinguished Vice-presidents. Betty is living up to the family reputation, having been our amiable and competent V. P. for two years. Guess which side she has taken in the question. Resolved: that a Freeman is preferable to a Free woman. MARK SHORT “He saw. he wished, and to the prize aspired. Class Secretary (3, 4); President A. A. Council (4) ; Varsity football (3. 4); Varsity basketball (3. 4); Captain Varsity baseball (4) ; Varsity baseball (3. 4) ; Varsity golf (3) ; Class football (I. 2); Class Basketball (1. 2); Captain (2); Class Track (1. 2, )3; Weather Vane Board (2. 4) ; Spanish Club (3); Dramatic Club (4) ; Thanksgiving Play C4); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Senior Day Play (4); Hi-Y Club (2, 3) ; Weather Vane Captain (2. 4) ; Leader Reporter f4) ; Senior Day Committee (4). What more can be said about Shorty) Everybody admires him. Everybody is proud of his many successes in athletics and studies, and envious of his indefinable way with the ladies. As a student, athlete, and Valentino. Mark never falls Short. WILLIAM SAYLOR Ye Gods! and is there no relief for love) Class Treasurer (4); Class Basketball (3. 4); I hanksgiving Play (I); Senior Play (4). Chairman Finance Committee (4); Glee Club (I); Hi-Y Club (2, 3. 4); Vice-president (4); Weather Vane Captain (3); Tennis Team (4). We’ll all agree that Bill is the financial genius of our class. He has handled our fast-disappearing wealth in a manner that would do credit to a Morgan, or Rockefeller. We must not forget his acting ability, either in front of. or behind the scenes. Unless we guess far amiss, be will be one of the country’s foremost business men; provided he stands Pat on his present principles.

Versatile Vera! She is violinist, artist, athlete, pianist, and academic statistician—or what you will. In addition. Vera is a staunch supporter of all school enterprises and is our choice for the girl with the best class spirit. RUTH ALBRO “Thy soul within such silent pomp did keep. Spanish Club (4) ; Thanksgiving Play (3) ; Easter Play (3) ; Class Committee (4); Glee Club (3); Music Club (4). Ruth came to us in the junior year. When we think of her. the thing that stands out is her quiet reserved manner. She is always willing and agreeable. We also know that Ruth is an accomplished person as she plays the piano very well; she proved this by playing for us in Chapel one day. We feel very grateful to Roselle for sending her to us. GEORGE ARGUIMBAU “And one man’s honesty redeems the land.” Class Basketball (3); Weather Vane Board (3. 4) ; French Club (2. 3) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Senior Play (4); Chairman Picture Committee (4); Chairman Weather Vane Committee (3); Junior Prom Committee (3); Weather Vane Captain (3); Columbus Day Play (I). Archie distinguished himself in his finished portrayal of the juvenile role of the Senior Play. His care-free manner, and most of all, his repeated tardiness in 101, have made Archie, though still much alive, “the late Mr. Arguimbau. CHARLES BELL “Still makes new conquests and maintains the past.” Varsity Football Squad (4) ; Class Football (2. 3. 4) ; Captain (4); Spanish Club (4); Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (2); Easter Play (3); Senior Play Committee (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Weather Vane Captain (I, 2. 3); Weather Vane Committee (4); Class Emblem Committee (3); Class Basketball (3); Interclass Track (1, 2, 3, 4); Jazz Orchestra (3). “Gob is the boy who made such a hit as Miles Hendon in The Prince and the Pauper.’ He did much bellowing, and laid about him in true Sabatini style. But now he’s a big man, and has cultivated a deep voice. We hope that he goes to a co-ed college, so that he can continue his conquests. His favorite occupation is falling down on the side-walk and 6craping up his face. (Maybe he’s emulating Silas Marner.)
