f l...17- ' ' A 1 mir? GINEBAUGH, RUTH MARY bow' . T, , ,wsu 51-gogfv 'I I EWING, BARBARA Barb is old-fashioned charm in modern dress. Numerous difficult situations have been settled by her tactful word and famous Ewing giggle. We wonder how she maintains all that sparkling vitality with which she soars through her innumerable activi- ties, such as that super-new handbook, and still manages to End time to be friendly to everybody. FASSE, DOROTHY LOU We have all observed the in- tricate workings of a watch, to which our senior class may be likened. Every wheel must con- nect before the clock will work. Dot is a very important part of that machine, that keeps the wheel of progress turning and makes the senior class tick. FERJCH, DORIS! MARIE Education is a wonderful thing. We learn so much from readin', writin', and 'rithmetic. Just by reading Doris' character we find she is pleasant and industrious. Her writing shows that she is neat, and we don't need arithmetic to figure out that she is a fine friend. GEORGACAKES, JELAN In this age of noise and con- 'fusion it seems refreshing to dis- cover someone as demure and natural as Jean. who can go through the day unconsciously lightening it with her sponta- neous chuckle and delightful philosophy. GOODMAN, MARILYN Ever since we can remember Marilyn has been hard at work laying a strong, solid foundation for the building of her character, but she is never too busy to help a. neighbor with his task. Her complete Dlans include room for the expansion of her out- standing musical talent. FORSBERG, LENHARD A., JR. Bud was that boastful, bombas- tic blackguard, General Wei of the senior play. When he's not being the high school Barry- more, he can be found exercis- ing' his pencil-holders listening to Kay Kyser. Some day after ' tomorrow will find Bud design- ing airplanes- he hopes.

Her care- free laugh and art ability just fill the bill and keep her much in demand to serve on various committees and work on other activities. We are glad she de- cided to spend her final year of high school with us. GROS, MARJORIE JANE Marjorie is another student who has worked out a neat bal- ance of education and fun. We hear she means business in Re tail Selling class, and it really Days dividends when we invest in education. Here's to a gross of success to her in the com mercial world.

DE LOOFF, DAN A quiet and unassuming ex- terior covers the loyalty within Dan. A valuable member in any organization, he has been a great help in boosting the tenor section of the choir, and also in boosting Old Glory to her full height on the flag pole in DE MAAGD, BETTY ANN Shall we ever forget the un- conquerable zest with which Betty Ann sets herself upon a task? With the same energy she reads Shakespeare, cooks hot dogs, and defends Edgar A. Guest. One thing that is no effort for Bet is capturing and holding our admiration. front of school. .

Her cute smile gives her away, anyway. wrong. But when we her as calm, we do not mean that she hasn't school spirit or bo dless energy for school un projects, for she is always busy doing her part. DILLINGHAM, THOMAS C. So now we turn the spotlight ularity on our Dill. The DURKEEN, LAWRENCE N We all recognize the signs of Durkee personality lightening halls. Incidentally he of pop first thing that comes to light is up our his unusual sense of humor. pictures his future roaming the Nothing suits him better than a wide open spaces, capturing on good laugh at himself or some- paper the wild life. one else. But Dill turns the light on others too: he is our chief electrician. He can turn r to a beautiful on the Dowe deg ree. Q31 EFTING, LAWRENCE E. Behind that reserved manner. Lawrence entertains a host of unreserved ideas. Here's a fel- low that is so natural that we can't help feeling comfortable when he is around. When ore doesn't say much more than is necessary, he is the one that will be noticed. wi! i EVANS, ESTHER No matter what the occasion, Esther always has some punny contribution to make. No one escapes her bubbling enthusiasm or the original epithets she has for everyone. Besides her play- ing on words, she can make any piano talk.

HAGLUND, ANN MARIE No one can quite resist such a petite miss as Ann. Seated behind a monstrous typewriter, she can scarcely be seen, but she makes herself heard by the swift forming of words. She has method all her own that strikes ' friendship. a the right key in a HANSON, VIVIEN LOUISE Vivien's harping is confined strictly to music, for a more pleasant person can hardly be found. When she is about, there is never any discord. She is as quaint and original as the sweep- ing hooped skirt she wore for ' dress-up day. HAKKEN, HOWARD We would think that Howard was a great virtuoso with his illustrious locks: he is -on the organ of his voice. Hak gives nee both on an A-I performa the platform and on the stage of life. HARPER. DANIEL h say that a slip of the ' Naval T ey tongue will sink a ship.' secrets or clues as to where a pot of gold is hidden at the end of the local treasure-hunt would be equally safe entrusted to a fellow with Dan's quiet discre- tion., He's always on deck with a grin. 28 the Seniors on 5 0 ..- Kg MQ, HAWKINS, OBERT HELDER, MARGARET JANE ' paragraph Margaret is a composition of ualities which we 'find an HART, BRUCE H. can match There are few who ' lYlg'D0Ylg Bruce's skill with a p H sets the pace lan? paddle. e is game to take on any c a lenger.

To put into one all the varying moods that make our President one of the most popular guys in the class would call for magical condensa- tion. His imitations of Hitler and shiftless Clem are a far cry from his intelligent and per- severing execution of all his overwhelming duties. Character- istic of Bob is his crediting his success to Lady Luck. all those K1 most admirable in the Amerie girl of today. This and the possession of a lovely singing voice lead us to expect that in the near future we will be able to say, Yes, I knew Margaret when - HEMMES, MARY OUIS :v Everyone know Ma If for two reasons. he nv - vious is that s is H ly at her post e schoo t e: the other, t s own th quickest and h cest s 'e ant, making that anyone cou Hemmie an exam e to e mem- r s Squad, bers of the Cou which she manages S expertl if n he nets a s A X
