WHO'S WHO IN HIGH SCHOOL ROSE ELLEN WILHELM Editor of The Clarion Rose Ellen Wilhelm's eagerness to get things done is what makes her such an interesting personality. We here in high school think that Rosie will succeed in whatever life work she chooses, through her interest, ingenu- ity, and originality. She is editor of The Clarion, works on the Yellow Jacket, and is a member of the National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Student Council, and Band and Choral Honorary Society. As a vocalist, Rosie is outstanding. MARY ANN PETERSON Drum Majorette Mary Ann's beauty, poise, and leadership has aided her in leading the Alvin High School Band.

POWELL President of Student Council J. W. Powell has served as a most efficient Student Coun- cil president for the past year. This is the first time J. W. has headed so important an organization, but his enthusiasm and willingness to work have made him one of the best. He also makes excellent grades. MARY JIM JONES Editor Yellow Jacket Mary Jim's school loyalty, application to her work, and her interest in all phases of school life make her an out- standing student.

WHO'S WHO IN HIGH SCHOOL DOROTHY THOMPSON Business Manager of Yellow Jacket Dorothy Thompson stands out among those in Who’s Who in high school because of her sincerity, dependability, and beauty. Dottie is one of the girls to possess a combina- tion of beauty and intelligence. She is especially liked because she is willing and eager to do any amount of work, without asking any credit for it. She has been a faithful worker on student publication for the last five years. She is business manager of the annual, president of the Quill and Scroll, and has held many other smaller positions during her high school and junior high school days. MARILYN McKEAN Valedictorian Marilyn, with an average of 93.32, is valedictorian of the Senior Class this year. She has been active in the Press Club, in Student Council, and in many other school activi- ties during her high school years. Marilyn is faithful and dependable in all her work, has a fine attitude toward her school and teachers, and shows the ability and initiative to work independently at a task. SAM McKENZIE Salutatorian Sam McKenzie is salutatorian of his class this year with an average of 90.26. Sam’s personality is his greatest asset. His ability to win friends and influence people has aided him this year during his term as advertising manager of the Yellow Jacket. His long eye lashes and sparkling eyes, together with his bright smile go a long way toward making up his attractive personality. ROBERT SHEAFFER Organist Bobby’s ambition is to become a church organist. If to be absorbed in one’s work leads to success, then Bob will surely have it.
