f l LES MEMOIRES ADA HUTCHISON Hutch Varsity 1iuxhv1ha'l, J-3-4, Captain: Cfuss liuslcctball, lg Curl Rt'serr.'t-s, I-I-4. Little but mighty -that's Ada. When she leads our girls' basketball team to victory, we wonder how it's possible. But it isf Ada seems unusually quiet to most of the class, but her friends and pals know that she can talk and joke with the best of them. She is going to Patterson Hospital, and we're all willing to wager that with her personality, she will be a big help to them. BEATRICE JoNEs Beetle Auszz'n Bee Class Basketball, I-2-3-4: Operetta, .I-3-4: Si-mor I'.'ay. 4: Girl Rest'rt't's, 45 Cm-e Club, 1-J-5-45 Echo, 4. Beatrice is the smallest member of our class. but that doesn't mean she isn't noticed. She is always ready to kidd you along and her pleasant personality has secured her many friends. Bee believes in the motto- A light heart lives long. Her intentions are to become a nurse at St, Luke's. and we wish her heaps and heaps of success. We didn't realize her hsti-ionic ability until the Senior play, when she delighted the audience with her impersonations of Amanda. the black Mammy. Keep up the good work, Bee. JOHN KATINIS ShnozzIe l oolht1'l, 4: Orchestra, 5-4: Band. 5-4. John is a man disappointed in life, a man whose life ambition has been forcibly suppressed. It all began one evening when he saw a dance orchestra drummer bounce his sticks on the floor and catch them as they came down. This fired his ambition so that he practiced far, far into the night to learn this trick. After months of ceaseless practice he advanced to a point where he broke only ten panes of glass an evening, when, for no ap- parent reason, his parents told him to desist or never darken their bathtub again. Which explains John's state of melan- cholia. To protect himself from unappreciative neighbors while practicing, John has taken up football and boxing which proves that it's no use crying over spilled milk. Call the cat. MARY KIST Kz'sIy Varsnu liriskvllwull, 1-3-4: Class Basketball. 1: Cl7t'lr.'euder, J-3-4,' Opereltu, 2-3-4g Girl Resertrs, 1-I-I-4g Glee Club, I-2-3-4: Class Secretary, 3-4. Mary has certainly been a great help to us during her four years at school. We either see her leading cheers on the football field or doing her best on the basketball floor, Mary is the best of sports, but beware of that red hair! Her temperament is such that when she makes up her mind to get anything. she goes after it1and gets it! We know she will be a big help as somebody's stenog because of the ability she evinced in keeping the class minutes. May you have health, wealth, and happiness. Goldilocks! twenty-one

PP' so twenty LES ME1ylp1REsg WW, LORETTA HALE Hardy Class Basketball. 2-3: Operctta, 2-3-4: Senior Plau, 4: Glee C'ub, Z-3-4: Les Mcmoires, 4. One of our youngest and most distinguished members is this attractive blonde. Dancing is one of her many accomplishments. Acting is another, for she had an important part in the senior play. Loretta is a true friend and well-liked by all. She is unselfish and always Willing to lend a helping hand to all who need it. Once in a confidential mood she said she would like to become a nurse, but now her plans have changed and no one knows just what she will do. But we know that whatever she does, she will do well. Carry on, Loretta! HELEN HARDING Din Class Basknlball, I-2: Operctlu, 3-4: Senior Plan, 4: Cilrl Rv- svrues. I-4: Glce Club, 3-4: Les Memourvs. 4. Vkle all remember this young lady as the aristrocratic and haughty Mrs. Falkener in the Senior Play, but Helen isn't really that way at all. She is a very quiet girl, but she has a sense of humor and is Willing to make friends with everybody. Anyone so conscientious as Ditt is bound to be a success as a trained nurse. and we wish her the best of luck! DAVID HARRISON Dave Varsity Basketball. Assistant Manager, i, Manager, 45 Oper- vltu, I-41 Cleo Club. 34: Les Mumoirvs. 4. Many things about Dave seem to be different from the average. Although he is not unusual in his studies, he is unusual in other respects. The most important of these is his height. No, that's wrong. A teacher would say the most imporiant item is his quietness. He believes in the old adage, Don't count your' chickens before-. No, this is it: Children should be seen and not heard. Although Dave cares little for sports. he is the most successful basketball manager Wilson has ever had. All successful men need some recreation. His is driving some- body's machine. Here is some good advice for you. Don't make the hobby a habit or you will end up as a truck driver. Be a chauffeur. It's easier. RUTH HELLER Ruth Class Basketball, 1-2-3-4: Opnretta, 4: Glee Club, 4: Echo, 4. Honor Sludent. Ruth is very quiet-looking, but appearances are certainly de- ceiving. You'll generally flnd her surrounded by a group of laughing girls. Listen to her giggle in the near future and watch your blues fade away. Ruth has another reason besides that of merriment or amusement for her infectious laughter. Just take a look at those gleaming pearls. Any time the unemployment situation gets out of hand. Ruth will undoubt- edly receive a position as chief advertiser of Pepsodent or lpana. Just one of your all-embracing smiles, Ruth, will do the trick!

1. LESMEMOIRES Z 'ns twenty-two HAROLD KOCH Professor Class Basketball, 3: Track, 3: Operrlta. I-2-3-4. ll:-Y, 4: Orchestra, I-Z-3-4: Band, I-2-5-4: Glu- Cfulr, 3-45 Lis Memolrcs. 4: Echo 4: Honor Student. Until 1930 it was Koch: now, it's Koke. He didn't increase in size or importance in the last year. That's why there is no ex- planation for this change in pronounciation. One of his nick- names is Three-point. Everyone knows his ambition and pastime is aviation, because he doesn't attempt to conceal it. He doesn't afford us as much amusement anywhere as he does on the stage. The band and orchestra hive found him indes- pensible. He is as nearly perfect in everything as a boy can be. His life won't be considered worth-while until he invents a practical problem that even he can't solve. He's tried hard enough. MARIAN KROCK Krockie Class Basketball, l-2-3: Operetta, 2-4: Stamp Cub, 4: Qirl lieserws, l-Z-3-4, President: Cleo Club, l-J-3-4: Les Hemoires, 4: Echo, 3: Class Treasurer, Z-3-4. Marian has been in many schools in her twelve years, but evi- dently she likes Wilson the best, as she has been here for five years. Although she always seems to be talking and joking, she really has some serious moments-for instance when she calls the Girl Reserves' meeting to order. She was very serious also on the Hrst night of Jerry of Jericho Road, when she had a leading role. Marian is going to Lankenau and will be- come one of the many future nurses that the class of 1931 will produce, And we hear her say as she reads this. Well, for goodness sake, or You wouldn't kid me, would you? , or Check! JOSEPH KUZMA Joe Football, Z-3-4: Varsttq Basketball. 2: films Bzshethallf I-3-4: Operetta, 3: Electrician Senior Play: Hi-Y. 3-4. Kuzma is the Man who is not seen or heard at the thea'rical productions of the High School. Yet. if he were absent, some- thing would go wrong, He's the head electrician and also helps at the carpentry of the stage. Then too, Joe was one of the important mainstays of our football and baseball teams. He is another one of our quiet boys but is a good worker. Anything he tackles will have to look out for itself. WILLIAM LAMBERT 'ABiII Hi-Y, 4: Orchestra, I-Z-3-4: filer Club. 4: Les rllcrntrirrs, 4. An old time fiddler with theatrical aspirations, such is the sad case of our friend on the left. Bill has a knack for writing stories and sketches which has made him an invaluable asset to the Les Memoires staff. In thc orchestra he has been indispen- sible because of his ability and reliability. In an interview, William made a statement to the effect that he would like to follow the theatrical profession. So, girls. treat him with the proper amount of consideration for perhaps in the near future he will be in the position to furnish free passes to all the hits of the season.
