Claire comes from the backwoods country of Westminster but she s far from being a hick. Besides being one of the smartest girls in our class, she is also one of the most cheerful.

Ll’DGER TOUSSAINT General “Ludgie” “ For why should life all labor be” If you hear a deep voice boom out a “hello behind you, you II probably find it’s “Ludgie.” Before and after school, you can usually find “Ludgie” hanging around the telegraph office doing anything from washing windows to singing telegrams.

A., 8; Assembly Committee. 4; I). A. R. I; Sampler Board, 4. A dependable guard on the basketball team, an actress, valedictorian, and a swell kid all packed into one small personage- that’s Leila.

She just doesn’t believe in work. Betty took quite an interest in skiing this winter for more than one reason. MARION THOMPSON College Preparatory “Mam ' “Why take life seriously?
