HERSEY THERESA THOMPSON President Vice-President OFFICERS CLASS OF 1920 RUTH E . HENDERSON THOMAS JORDAN Secretary Treasurer "Finished Y et Beginning ." Alpert, Morris D. Morris came from Russia, but he's not a Bolshevist; if there were forty-eight hours in a day he would have use for them all. He leaves B. H . S. after one year of work to be come a violinist of renown. Orchestra, 1. Anderson, Helen M. "Tee Dee" Helen must surely be ac cuslomed to the letter A, for not only does it begin her name - il appears spattered all over her papers, exams and things. Ambrose, Helen G. "Nellie" Ah! whom have we here? A second Helen of Troy? Helen refuses to discu ss her danger ous tendencies. She just stud ies-(mostly). Babcock, Edward "Eddie" Hats ofC! boys to "Eddie", In lessons he's never quite ready But when it comes to "Brewer" He'll be right t h ere we're sure! Anderson, Gertrude "A wise old owl sat on an oak, The more he saw, the less he spoke, The less he spoke, the more he heard, \Vhy can't we be like that wise bird?" Gerlrude follows this adage closely. We w ish you good luck in your college career. Bacon, Henry I. "Poddy" Altha' he's called "Poddy," we all can see why He's been named the good sport, the all-around guy; For he's famous in basketball, football and track, And once slarted on State street he never turns back, 'Ti!---- Ji1ootbitll, 2. B asketball, 2. (Captain). Track, 1. Baker, Harry P. He can tell you t h e price of cheese per pound and of rnaple sugar a quart, and he sells lunch tickets like a streak. We prophesy a business career. Beane, Rosa L. ' 'Beanie' ' Smile AJI the While-that's RoHa. Her lessons never wor ry her; in fact nothing does not even flunks. We suppose Boston will soon be proud to claim another "Beane". Baker, Rena L. Although her voice is "sweet and low" beware! There is a twinkle in her eye w h ich means mischief. May il be known that Rena never missed a les son. Ca d c-t D c-butanto, t. G irls' D c batin~ Soclc-ty, 2. Berson, Rose " Rosie" She is an energetic little Commercial and though she doesn't Joo!{ talkative, have you ever hen.rd her in a debate? G irls' DebaUng· Society, 4. Ball, Marcia A. " P eace-M a ker" 'Tis said that all good things come in smaJI packages neatly rapt up. It certainly applies, lo per fection, in this case. Blake, Beatrice M. " Betty" This little lass has been with us only a year but we thin!{ she likes us and we're sure we like her. Beatrice excels in Mathematics. Baumann, Fredric W.

Basketball, 1. 'l'rack, 1. Brackett, Geraldine A. "Jerry" We wonder if Jerry has been taking a special course this year. It has not seemed to be necessary for her to get to school before 8.30. Her motto is "pleasure before business." Carlin, Thomas J. "Tommie" One of our French horn artists. You should see him puff out his cheeks and make a tune. Music in chapel would not be anywhere if it wasn't for "Ton1n1ie.'1 Band, 4. Bragg, Eleanor W. "Ellie" "Ellie" left us this winter an·d went to Barbados. She says the palm trees there were wonder ful but they couldn't compare with our native trees, so she was glad to get back. Cadet Debutanto, 1. Sell!Lor Junior pJay, 2. Junior Exbibi Llon. LaLln play, 1. Carter, George L. One of Madame's pets! We expect to see him back at High in a few years, as assistant French Reader! Madame will have forgotten by then the dif ference between "pou" and "peu". Bragg, Herbert E. " Herbie" Herbert has to travei a lot to be with us every day but he's right here. He always gets his lessons and still finds time to take care of the Oracle's Ex changes. 01·acle Board, 1. First Honor E!>Say. Chalmers, Philip C. "Phil" Phil's sober expression doesn't com from worry about studies but from worry about pleasures. He can never find "where it's all coming from," but it comes just the same. C'adct.s kUld R . 0. T. C., 4., (Captain). Oracle, 2., (Bus. l\Igr. Re-signed). Track :M:ana ger, 1. Latin Play, 1. 01•ches• trct, 2. Brown, Ruby, "Sis" Who or what does she see with that pensive look? We wonder. Chandler Elizabeth P. "Betty" Hail lo our scholar! For the past year Betty has shown spec ial interest in certain French words. In a few years we ex pect she will be some kind of a doctor. Git-ls' Debating Society, 4., (Vico-p1·esident). Oracle Board, 1. Seniol'-Junior play, 1. Medal Essay-Ar'IDy Contest. Chase, Donald L. "Don" A mighty decent fellow Although you're quiet, Don; But your head's for sornething else besides Just to keep your collar on. Cohen, Ida "Ida" Do you want to know some thing about astronomy?

If school had begun a half m in u te earlier, Alice would have spent most of her afternoons; for the last four years in 201. Coburn, Helen F. "Mike" She may look quiet but look again, See those merr~ eyes :tnd that sntile, She likes fun as well as the rest, She has only been with us a year Having just come from Presque Isle.

Crimmin, Hester Yes, here is Hester, the quiet. little miss. She's a very good scholar, what more can one want. However, one mustn't suspect her of being as demure as she looks. Daley Anna R. Can she make an apple pie? We'll say she can! Can she maim you laugh until you cry? We'll say she can! And when it comes to acting and speaking, oh my! We'll say she can! Cade t D ebutaJlte, 3.
