(Ll|c lUeatlm- 30;mc 19 CARY DAVIS And thus when Charles returned, our empire stood. Class Basketball (3) ; Manager (4) ; Spanish Club (2. 3, 4) ; Dramatic Club (4) ; Class Athletic Committee (3); Junior Prom Decoration Committee (3); Orchestra (I. 2, 3); Hockey (I). Cary is the demon female auto driver. One morning she just missed a truck up at the corner and then chased a certain eminent man up on the curb. Her favorite occupations are smiling, scraping on a fiddle, and running around with a certain P. G. whose initials arc C. H. R. Jr. Guess his name if you can! ROBERT DAVIS There stands a structurely majestic frame . Class Sergeant at Arms (3) ; Class Football (4) ; Senior Day Committee; Senior Play Committee. Introducing Machine Gun Bob, the big boy from Chicago where men are men and women carry artillery. His three favorite occupations are eating Goobers, trying to sell people old Stars, and boosting Chicago. We think, however, that he has nothing against King George. But seriously, folks, don’t hold his home town against him. He’s as fine a fellow as you'll find anywhere (if you can look so high.) DOROTHY DEAN “A mighty hunter and her prey was man.” Varsity basketball (3. 4); Class basketball (2) ; French Play (3) ; French Club (3. 4) ; Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Christmas Play (3); Class Committee (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Class Day Play (4); Weather Vane Captain (2); Hockey (2, 3); Leader Reporter (3, 4); Junior Picnic Committee (3); Manager. Basketball (3). Dot’s the original man-hater. She tried to add up her dates but lost count after the first thousand. Her favorite occupations are swimming and smiling. We expect some day she will be posing for tooth paste ads and challenging Trudy Ederle on the side. You never saw anybody smile until you saw her! We suspect there would be murder committed if we mentioned Britly so we won’t. ELINOR DILLON Here is a woman, good without pretense. Spanish Club (3, 4); Dramatic Club (4); Thanksgiving Play (4) ; Senior Play Committee (4) ; Class Song Committee (4) ; Junior Prom Committee (3) ; Orchestra (3); Leader Reporter (4); Civic Committee (3). A laugh and a giggle and in comes Elinor, always such a good sport and able worker. In spite of her merry laugh and retrousse nose, she is a really serious person who loves to study and abounds in good works.

IS ®be Heather l ntE ERIC CROSS “Why that's the very thing I mean.” Varsity Football (4); Class Football (I, 2, 3); Class Basketball (2. 3. 4); Manager of Baseball (3); Thanksgiving Play (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Class A. A. Committee (3); Class Finance Committee (4) ; Junior Picnic Committee (3); Hi-Y Club (2. 3. 4). “Wop” is another one of the bad” boys of our class. In spite of this he is well liked for his quick wit and willingness to do what is asked of him. “Ric” spends much of his time in school reading his numerous love notes. What would 1928's football team have been like without our famous end, Red Cross? HOWARD CURLETT The smoking chariot bounds.” Class Football (4); Senior Play Committee (4). Curley”, who is one of the best liked fellows in our class, evidently was in co-operation with the man who said Why worry?” As a Dodge driver he’s the last word; and—have you ever tried to argue with him? Don’t try it! He has also developed the enviable faculty of walking, in his sleep, to classes. STANLEY DANIELS To midnight dances and the public show. Varsity Football (4). Steve is the big boy who likes to shock ’em with his plus 16 knickers and monkey-fur jackets. He is particularly successful at sucking lemons and thus causes a riot at debates. Meres luck to you. Steve! We only hope you don’t trip over those pants some day! HENRY CRANE I was a friend, man, to thee, to all. Varsity football (3. 4); Varsity baseball (3. 4); Varsity basketball (4); Class football (I. 2); Class basketball (1. 2); Spanish Club (3); Slide Rule Club (4) : Senior Play Publicity Committee; Class Athletic Committee (4); Hi-Y Club (4). Flank’s successful cave man” tactics have made him the wonder and envy of his classmates. He takes part in many week-end activities, but he has never been known to have a Blue Mundy.”

(tljc rather fiaitc Zll ISABEL DOWN “Oh softest manners, unaffected mind. Class Day Finance Committee (4); Thanksgiving Play (4); Junior Prom Committee (3). Poor innocent, little Isabel, wherever she goes, is always called Down. Isabel is one of the big B. P. O. Band; in other words she is a B. P. O. E., a business practice office elf. How that girl can type! RUTH DREW “Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow‘r.“ Entered in the Senior year. Varsity Basketball (4); Spanish Club (4). It wasn’t until we saw Ruth looking at a basket ball that we realized there must be at least one modern town out West. We hope La Grange isn’t stranded because there is no one to fill her place. If she left us some would miss her blushes, but more would miss her smile and good sportsmanship. HELEN FOX “The playful smiles around the dimpled mouth. French Club (3); Thanksgiving Play (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Junior Prom Committee; Junior Picnic Committee; Orchestra (I. 2. 3. 4); Academic Committee (4); Senior Day Committee; Civic Committee (3); Poster Contest First Prize (4) ; Class Day Art Committee. Introducing “Smilin’ Helen. the long-curled pirate of Senior Day. She certainly made her old sax walk the plank in the orchestra, too. We expect to see her breaking into Mr. Whiteman’s band some day. She can also “aggravate a piano. No, ladies, gentlemen, and Mr. Darby, this picture of her is not a tooth-paste ad. MURVAN FUHRMANN “Ah, what a weary race my feet have run. Varsity Basketball (3. 4); Class Basketball (I, 2. 3. ); Spanish Club (2, 3, 4); French Club (3); Junior Prom Decoration Committee (3); Junior Picnic Committee (3) ; Weather Vane Captain (2); Union County Track Meet (3.-4); Hockey (2); Interclass Track (I. 2, 3, 4). Murvan plays basketball with a will, and certainly did her part as ’guard’’ in the renowned senior victory over the sophomores. In fact “Murvy does everything with the same good will—even to sewing on costumes for every play that comes along.
