She is shy with those who do not know her but with those with whom she is well acquainted she is one of the best and dearest of friends.

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. Bookkeeping Certificate C35- We'd like to have you meet petite Marion, one of the smallest girls in the school and in the senior class. 4 At first glance Marion seems shy but how dif- ferent when you have known her.

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

A. R. Medal We see in Lawrence the qualities of a good politician. A friend-making quality, a smile, a get-out-and-go, a way with the 'fwimminn and a gift of speech are but a few of his attributes.

Down with the faculty! Down with the school I VVho uttered those words? Why none other than our own little communist Robert Spaulding. Robert opposes many things about school just for the sake of argument or perhaps it is practice for debates. Bobby carries his arguments to the sport page of the Mercury where they are very effective. He is also a successful dramatist as is evident by his frequent participation in dramatic plays. But whatever your course in life may be, Bobby, we wish you the very best of luck. ,IANICI5 SPEAR General Honors: Class Secretary C45 3 Prize Speak- ing, Ist prize C35 3 Glee Club C45 3 All State Glee Club C453 Grchestra C453 Grinds Committee C453 Gold Key C45QJLlIll0I'JZ1TT1l'501'CC C2, 3, 453 Class Song Cmusic5 Want fun, music, laughter, song?
