AMRA KEZMA ABOOS , Kezma has a key to the treas- ure-box of happiness. Like a f old he has stolen ous pirate o hearts with his zest for life an ability to recognize all the funny little gems that make each day valuable. CE J. ACKERMAN, CLAREN Tall, blonde, and shy, with a flare for shorthand, is Jason. No outsider would ever guess within his lanky frame there is a little imp of mischief that urges him on to help the fellows have a good time. However, ' ' such as he's really no villain his executioner's role in Lady Precious Stream portrayed him to be. ' x 1 J QXK xj' ACKERMAN, PERRY G.

It is said that you can't tell a book by its cover, but in Shir- ley's case you don't have to because her life is an open book, attractive and neat as her ex- terior. This volume of personal- ity is well worth including in our library of friendship.

22 BEYER, BEATRICE - ASHLEY, VIRGINIA BETH Virginia is our royal candidate for Queen of Hearts. She is majestically tall with just the right amount of dignity to set off her stately stature when she holds council. Best of all, hers is a democratic and fun-loving kingdom where work and sport and pleasure are one at ye old Central Palace. BALCER, VALERIE M. Val's far-away expressions often lead us to believe the future holds something very en- trancing just out of reach. Try as we may, we cannot contrive an answer from her mischievous replies. There never will be a shortage of air castles while Val remains. AUS-SICKER, JOHN Everything about Jack is built on a large scale -broad shoul- ders and broad grin, huge ca- pacity for fun and adventure 'd variety of interests. and But and ure the wi e the world is a big place we need every inch of stat- we can get to cope with growing problems. BARNHART, ELIZABETH Betsy has a really worthwhile outlook on life and on the people she works with. She inspires even the sleepiest of us to try to match her refreshing wide- awake attitude these lazy weather spring mornings. BEHRENS, MARVIN BOLT, VIRGINIA RUTH Ginny's artistic temperament quickly brushes aside impossibili- ties. She creates her own oppor- tunities by molding her ideas so attractively as to sell them anywhere. We have seen many illustrations of her talent and ss Marve's melodious tenor voice has won the applause of all Central. Besides being adept at making music, he can work har- moniously with any group. We think he is a natural to scale the heights of recognition with- out any treble. If you are in need of a friend. in need of a good laughand a cheering up, that's where Bea puts into practice her four-star recipe for having a good time. We'd like to know that formula and include it in our daily diet. 3 BLANCHARD, ROSEMARY Breathless, and wearing a roguish grin, Rosie gallops into view, just in the nick of time to collapse into place before the bell rings. Like the Lone Ranger she always has us guessing, but h learned that, at the we ave climax, she'll get there. expect her to chalk up a succe in commercial advertising. I
