16 THE QUIVER -------------------------- JOSEPH SOLOMON GOI DFINE A wise man sayeth very little.” Who is the happy-go-lucky boy strolling the corridors so leisurely? Joe.’’ the wonder in chcmistiy. is a terrible expense to the school, as more than one instrument has been broken by him. However, some far sighted lad has taken revenge by burning his suit and shoes. Joe's most inter esting subject is selling shoes. Attired in a flashy green shirt. Joe can be seen in one of our local shoe stores every after noon and Saturday acquiring experience in the business field. This care free lad has been a great help to the school with his car. If you haven't mastered arithmetic progression, the theory of Pythagoras or Boyles' Law. consult Joe ; he'll probably throw a little light on the subjects. In the days to come, we hope to see Joe as the competent manager of a successful shoe store. Glee Club (4), Inter class Basketball (2) (}). NATHANIEL ROBERT GOLDMAN I have a heart with room for every joy. Nat is the boy with the curly blond hair and cheerful countenance who goes around borrowing homework and chewing gum. He is a great help to his chemistry class, for whenever Mr. Murphy asks a question. Nat quickly shouts his answer—then the rest of us chorus out the opposite of what he says, and usually have the right answer. And when he gets loose in the Lab. every man for himself! It is no fault of Nat's that we have survived his experiments to discover whether the class could distinguish between chlorine and carbon monoxide by the odor! Nat plans to enter R. 1. State next fall, and after finishing there, he will probably head some large fruit and produce company. Glee Club (3) (4). Inter-class Basketball (2). Junior Play Committee (3). Football (4). CONSTANCE GOSSEL1N There's mischief in this lady. Conny has been with us for three wonderful years, during which time she has become one of the best liked girls in our class. Her jokes keep constantly chasing our blues” away, and whenever we hear someone singing and laughing in the midst of a crowd of girls and boys we know that Conny is the entertainer. Do you know that Conny's'' favorite holiday is Noel ? Business Club (4). Orchestra (4), QuiVt R Board (4). Senior Play Committee (4). JAMES R GOULD Life is not life at all without delight. Happiness, joviality and ability are the chief charactcris tics of our hero. Jimmy's dry wit and cheery manner have made him one of the live wires” of ’31.” Many the day he has brightened by his clever witticisms. In the classroom he was a diligent worker, ever anxious to grasp and analyze the fundamentals of a new system. Beyond a doubt. James will attain the pinnacle of whatever he may choose as an occupation. We are certain that his sunny disposition and warm smile will go a long way in helping him to his goal. Glee Club (3J.

THE QUIVER 15 VIVIAN S. GENDRON Good things come in small packages. Tiny, but oh. my! Vivian certainly knows a trick or two about attracting attention, especially with that little giggle of hers Nevertheless, we must admit that she is one of the snappiest and wittiest members of our Senior Class. And can she dance? At every dance we are sure to find Vivian a big asset to the opposite sex. Vivian takes frequent trips to New York, and we shall not at all be surprised to find her taking dictation on the forty second story of some large firm. Let s hope her employer is tall, dark and handsome, so as to meet with Vivian's requirements. We know that she will make a fine secretary for some one. Student Council (2). Basketball (2), Junior Play Committee (3), Business Club (4). DOROTHY MERLE GILBERT A smile will go a long, long way. Who is tha; person with those pearly, white teeth and that winning smile? Who can it be? Well, there is only one person it can be—- Dot Gilbert. Dot's disposition is an asset to her for it has won many an ardent admirer. Her school spirit is shown in her interest in sports— Dot is an ardent follower of all our games. We wonder why? Dot has not revealed her ambition to us. but we hope she will pursue a business career. May success follow you. is the wish of Class '31. Senior Dance Committee (4). Business Club f4). Ticket Committee. Senior Play (4). GILBERT H. GILROY For well they laughed at all his jokes, for many a joke had he.” A stir! A commotion! Laughter ringing throughout the room! Behold Gilroy entering the class room with his cheery greetings. Got a pencil? Gilroy plans to become an actor. He revealed this by his dramatic ability in the Senior Play. ' ohavings. He was then a bachelor, but will he really remain so? We are doubtful, because Gilroy's occasional dreamy moods are due to Lydian airs. Now wait a minute. Gilroy is not always in those dreamy moods for when he is influenced by Hal Roach Talkies he amuses both teachers (?) and students. If you feel depressed just call on Doctor Cure for Blues. Senior Play (4). Business Club (4). Glee Club (3) (4). Band (3) (4). Orchestra (3) (4). MAY OLIVE GOEWEY Determination and quiet nerve. Hidden beneath a calm reserve. A quiet girl is our May. She has been a most industrious worker and we have en joyed her companionship in our classes throughout the three years she has been with us: but we fear that we shall lose her if she some day flies away, as she is greatly interested in aeroplanes and intends to become an aviatrix. If May fulfills her undertaking we are confident of her success. The most sincere wishes will follow you. May. when you fly across the Atlantic Ocean in the near future. Senior Play Committee (4).

Junior Play Committee (3). ROBERT A HAMILTON “I’m Just a Vagabond Lover.” One of the reasons that prevent us from calling Bob one of our quieter boys is the fact that he plays a sax.” No one can play that instrument and be called quiet. However, we'll have to admit that Bob's” playing can be endured, in fact even welcomed. Did you know that Berkeley holds some strange attraction for him? Why don't you serenade her. Bob”? Music hath charms.” you know. We have not learned Bob's future plans, but we certainly wish the best of luck to the best saxophone player in captivity. Orchestra (2) (4). Band (2) (4).
