Aurelia attended Salem Hi while a “rat” and after attending Jefferson High for two years she returned to graduate with her class—the class of ’ 30 . Here’s wishing her the best o ' luck in life and love! ROY B. OBENCHAIN “A little body doth often harbor a great soul.” Glee Club ’26-’27; Science Club ’27- ' 2 ; Local History Club ’28-29. How can we tell what Roy expects to do when he talks so little? But he can’t keep us from seeing his ability—you should see him work a Trig problem that is much longer than he is! RICHARD B. PERSINGER “What is life if not fun? I count a day ill-spent that’s seen no work of mischief done.” Latin Club ’27-’28; Debating Club ’29; Orches¬ tra ’28-’3o; Literary Society ’30; Debating Team ’30; Senior Play ’30. “Dick” is not often seen without a smile on his face. Maybe it is because he has mastered the art of getting good grades without apparent study. Although rather quiet, except when he laughs, he has a habit of making a success of everything he under¬ takes. His besetting sins are tooting the clarinet and playing practical jokes. RACHEL PETERS “Wit and laughter All follow after.” Glee Club ’26-27; Girls’ Club ’26-27; Girls’ Basket Ball ' 26-27; Commercial Club ' 27-2 8; Home Economics ’2Q-’30. Rachel, a dark haired Senior, with plenty of vivacity. She is very fond of athletics; and is also the last one of the six girls who won sweaters in the Girls Basket Ball Team of ’ 27 . May bad luck follow you all the days of your life, but never overtake you. ( 18)

Edith lias been an example of modesty and kindness to her more boisterous class¬ mates. She always goes calmly on her wav, determined to accomplish what she under¬ takes and we have neyer known her to fail. We know she will continue to succeed, so— here’s to Edith! DOW NELSON McGRADY “I do know him by his gait.” F. F. A. ' 27-2% ’28-’29, ’29-’30. Dow stands high in all his classes and his knowledge of Math often astounds his struggling classmates. He has proved his ability in Salem High; likewise he will prove it at college and, finally, become a most successful lawyer. JOHN WILLIAM MORGAN “A man of few words, but lofty aspirations.” Agriculture Club ’29. lohn is a quiet person and a hard worker. His greatest ambition is to own and run a big dairy and all of his activities are being directed toward this goal. CHRISTINE TRANCES MOYER “A merry heart, a happy smile!” Girl Reserve ' 2 6; Biology ’27; Flower Club ’29; Home Economics Club ’30. Frances always has a come-back of pleas¬ ant sarcasm that keeps us wondering, “What next?” She has not decided whether she is going to college or not, but we are sure that whatever the task may be, Frances will succeed.

.. The Wolverine—Salem High School NORMAN HOYT PLUNKETT “Joke and the world jokes with you- Dramatic Club ’28; Literary Society ’30; Agri¬ cultural Club ’27; Joke Editor of The Wol- erine ' 29-yo. Hoyt is refined and dignified. His ambi¬ tion is to write stories and see the world. We wish you much success in your adven¬ ture. ROBERT V. PRESTON “What’s the use of worrying?” Commercial Club ’ 27-2 8; Local History Club ’29. School spirit and an eye for fun are two of his characteristics. “Lollie” seems to have a fondness for small vacations. He wanders away just anytime for a week or more—forgetting how hard it is to “catch up” again. ELIZABETH R. REAMEY If she had any faults, she has left us in doubt.” Glee Club ’26-’27; Home Economics Club ’27; Science Club ’28; Bird Club ’29. Nature has blessed Elizabeth with quite an irresistible combination of deep blue eyes and dark brown hair. We predict that the combination will soon prove fatal to some fine young man. “Reamey ’ is an all-round good sport, never too busy to lend a hand, or enjoy a good joke. JOHN HAROLD RETTINGER “A real gentleman, a true friend.” Biology Club ’28; Agriculture Club ’27 2 8, ’29- ’ ; Agriculture Judging Team ’29; Presi¬ dent F. F. V. Club ’30. The “blues” and Harold are never found in the same company. His cheery smile is quite contagious. We all recognize this classmate as one of the most likable and dependable members of our “school family. There goes Harold, on his errand for an¬ other—with his smile. ( 19 )
