To us these last few years have been a mural, the scenes vivid remembrances. VVhen we look at our mural we recognize many faces, but the one that stands out in greater contrast is that of a neat, young gentleman quietly walking down the hall or accurately answering some question in class. He has one of the greatest qualities any person may have, that of controlling one's temper. And how we envy that report card of his, covered with A's. We prognosticate a brilliant future for you Norman, and we're all behind a wish for huge success. lVlARGARIi'1' LEWIS Scientific Honors: Feature Writer of the Mercury C4 - J A cheery smile and a friendly 'fHello and you have met Margaret. She is quiet, friendly, and industrious. Peggy came to us from Buffalo and is a welcome addition to our class. Vile canlt help admiring her for her good marks-nothing less than A's.

A sunny smile, a cheery Hi and HBCQIH comes Walking down the hall. And look at the honors that she has accumulated during her four years' stay at B. F. A.

That smiling youth that's lzedecked with those curly brown locksl Why tl1at's none other than Smiling Eggien Miller. Although Ed- gar doesn't participate in any sport, he has gain- ed recognition as the 'fBallroom Athletef' a title well deserved, for he jogs a mighty pair of heels. To adapt the saying about lwlary and her little lamb, wherever Peggy goes Edgar is sure to fol- low. This is a true conception of our pleasant comrade. Always a cheerful word for everyone is Edgar's own motto. RAY lVlI'LLI2Y Scientific Honors: B. F. A.-Senior Play C45 3 Grinds Committee C45. Plattsburg-lfootball C25 3 Secretary of Library Council C25 3 Secre- tary and Treasurer of Library Council C35 3 Base- ball C2, 353 lnterscholastic Tennis Tournament C35. This quiet boy who came to this school from Plattsburg is made of the best stuff. His friend- ship is treasured and his looks deceiving. When he is out of school his quiet way vanishes and he is the living picture of mischief in the truest sense. He adapts himself to anything and that is one of the chief reasons why he will make good. Good luck Ray. CAR1.'1'oN If.

Glendon has been one who has kept him- self out of the high lights. He evidently put his powers to other ends. His marks tend to prove this. Baseball was the only sport that interested him. Whatever you plan for the future Glendon we're sure you will go far in it.

We understand that 'fHerby loves the salt sea sprays and intends to become a sailor. Here is hoping that you become Admiral, Herb. MADELYN PosT General Honors: Glee Club C45: All State Glee Club Madge is one of the more reserved members of our class. To strangers she may seem unap- proachable but to know her is to love her. Sbe has an enviable scholastic record and she has al- ways given aid to her friends in their work. Madelyn has always been fond of her home town, Georgia, but don't let her kid you when she says it's the view. We know that there are more in- teresting things than views to Pierce one's in- tCI'CSt. MARION POWERS Commercial Honors: Bookkeeping Certificate C251 Prize Speaking C35: Debating Club C35, 4o- Word Typing Pin C45 3 12o-Word Gregg Tran- scription Test C45 g Adv.

In the future when in a reminiscing mood, we may look back and see in our memories the last few years which are soon to be our histories, we shall meet old classmates. One who will strongly stand out in our memories will be a tall, heavy fellow, full of fun and mischief. Friends in the corridor fondly called him AL The freshmen carefully called him Ryder. Teachers called him Allan but only because school rules prohibited use of stronger language. One of Al's many good qualities was his mastery of l24l
