THE QUIVER 13 □ ! r4 c+ln t»|r o| o|r t»| c+tn r»|r r4 f»| r»4 »♦ ( ♦ o r»V c 4r %| a o$ □ CHESTER CURRIE Chester fully appreciates the value of the saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss for we very rarely see “Chet” moving, or at least moving at rapid rate, for ‘“make haste slowly says Chet.” However, don't get the impression that Chet is lazy for we with our own eyes have seen him travel in a hurry. Also you are now’ reading about the one and only chief usher of one of the best theatres of our fair city. This position kept Chet from participating in many school activities, but still he had time to show us one and all that he is a genial lad, good-natured and a friend to all. Dramatic Club (1), Student Council (1). HENRY CURTIN “Bartiey” as this popular boy is familiarly known, is the class philosopher. Behind his glasses, Barney’s eyes twinkle merrily as he rolls for huge words and sonorous sentences. Give him a subject, no matter how obscure, and “Barney can lecture upon it indefinitely. And just start him on hunting or fishing! This disciple of Isaac Walton has caught such monstrous fish that he has had to cut them up in small pieces in order to be believed. We do not know exactly what vocation Barney intends to follow after graduation, but we feel that only a professorship in some deep “ology” would do him justice. IRENE MADONNA DANIS The brown-haired girl with the come-hither look in her big, brown eyes is Irene, whom we have all learned to love. Irene never seems to become excited, but akvays creates an atmosphere of calm about her. She is an excellent athlete, and has turned many basketball games into victory for her team. She is popular among the opposite sex and no school function is complete without her. She has played parts in numerous musical comedies. She possesses all the qualities that combine to make a good nurse. Her future is bound to be a bright and happy one. Basketball, Volley Ball, Musical Comedy (4), Baseball, Glee Club (3). EDWARD DAVIS Who is it that works hard at everything he undertakes? Why, if you don't know, we ll tell you. It is none other than “Ed” Davis. “Ed came to us from Pittsburgh and soon won our hearts by his pleasing personality. He proved himself a capable manager because under his guidance our basketball team has won the pennant. Ed is a good artist, too, having won several prizes during his sojourn in W. H. S., probably we will hear good reports concerning his progress at R. I. Schixil of Design next year. To assure you what a good artist Ed is, just glance at a few of the cartoons in this issue of the Quiver.

12 THE QUIVER HERMAN EARLE COLITZ The big button man from the west. Here is one of our enterprising Seniors who is always willing to work, and work hard. This is an admirable quality and should aid him considerably when he gets out in the business world. That is, providing the lure of music is not too great, for Herman is quite a piano player too and certainly can tickle the ivories. Herman was a great help on the artistic decorations for the Junior Prom which was held in the Junior High gymnasium. Dramatic Club (2) (3), Orchestra (2) (3), J unior Prom Committee (3), Senior Prom Committee (4). CHARI.ES commons “Charlie,” with hair that never stays combed, is the possessor of a veritable “million dollar” smile. He is a great favorite with both girls and boys, not only of this class, but of the lower classes also. We hear incidentally that Charles used “prudence in all of his undertakings, but of course wc cannot understand why. As the efficient chairman of the Senior Dance Committee, Charlie” helped greatly with his original ideas in interior decorating. This lad plans to go into the engineering world when he graduates, where he should be as popular as he was in high school. Dramatic Club (2) (3), Senior Prom Committee, Business Club (4), Musical Comedy (4). GLADYS ANN CREECH We shall not be likely to forget Gladys, our violinist, one of the representatives of the Class of '30 in our orchestra ever since we can remember. We cannot guess what Edna, her inseparable companion, will do when Gladys enters the “talkies, for we have heard that she is to take Betty Compson's place. Besides her ability as a violinist, Gladys has a singing voice worthy of mention. Just at present, Gladys seems to be very much interested in Amherst and also in insurance. Orchestra (I) (2) (3) (4), Glee Club (3), Business Club (4). RICHARD CUNNINGHAM Is someone laughing again? That is our friend, Dick. “Dick” can make anyone turn a frown into a smile. He is known and liked by all his fellow students. “Dick” is also an athlete. He served as a good center on our football team, and he has helped our basketball team in many ways. He is also a Geometrist, for it was he who discovered a new proof in Plane Review. Dick is able to succeed in anything he sets his mind to, and we all know that he will be a great success in life. Football (4), Basketball (4), Business Club (4), Glee Club (4), Dramatic Club (2) (3)

We seldom hear her voice except in class recitations. When you see Alice, you may he sure that Anna and Lillian are not far away, for these three girls are always together. They say “good things come in small packages and everyone thinks this applies to Alice. We feel confident th.it Alice will he a blessing to her employer. Library Club (2). STANLEY WALTER DOBROWOLSKI “Sink it, 'Stan'! sink it! is a familiar cry in our gymnasium when the basketball game is close and Stanley is at the foul line. No man has saved more games for W. H S. than “Stan. He always meets these emergencies in a manner that rarely disappoints his many friends. Although experiencing a number of heart-breaking injuries during the late football season, Stanley has managed to enter the ranks of the four-letter men, and to have been captain of the football team as well. His abilities are not confined to the athletic field, and we wish him luck in his future activities. Basketball (2) (J) (4), Football (3) (4), Baseball (3) (4), Track (3), Business Club (4). KATHRYN EILEEN DOYLE Here is another member of the commercial course, well known for her neat work. Eileen has always given her loyal support to all school activities, and a great many committees have succeeded in their work because of her earnest efforts and cooperation. We shall, no doubt, hear from Eileen as a proficient nurse in the future, as that seems to be her aim. Basketball, Volley Ball, Junior Play, Senior Play, Business Club (4), Junior Prom Committee. CECILE ALBERTA DROUIN Here is the girl who typifies the stately, dignified, young lady of today. “Cil possesses that fine quality known as “a good sense of humor” and probably that is the reason why she is so well liked by everyone. We are told that when it comes to “movie” actors, “Cil” prefers “Gilbert.” Cil may enter the business world when she leaves here, but we are sure that her ability will prevail and make her successful in whatever she may undertake.
