produced by this class of '37, certainly is not to be slighted. Wilma Sherman is a senior who is a conscientious worker. For three years Wilma played the violin in the school orchestra. By working hard, this loyal girl earned a letter and so was made a mem- ber of the Pep Club. For one who studies so diligently, there should be success. Well, if here isn't Buryl Wright, that sandy haired fellow who was assistant football coach while but a junior. He has been a Hi-Y member for four years and says that he has a lure for mechanics. lust between you and me, we all like his jolly grin. In speaking of Buryl we think of Merle Schneider, who also has ability along the mechanical and carpenter line. The last semester of his senior year, Merle has worked as a delivery boy in a grocery store, but he joins the rest of the class for graduation. Well who would have thought it? We have a new girl, Georgia Noakes, who came from Beatrice, Nebraska, just about six weeks be- Sixteen 1. fj - . lf' Celeste Meyer Georgia Noakes fore graduation in time, in fact, for the banquet fbaccalaureatej and all the other events attended by the seniors. With the small class we have, it's fine to have a new member, From what we've noticed so far, she will not lack for friends, Also in our midst is Harold Parker, handsome Ace Club cap- tain. Harold is not obtrusive but is a good follower and in this day and age we need good fol- lowers. We know that he likes music and that he plays the violin in our school orchestra. Another reserved senior is lack Birkett. At least he seems so or- dinarily. I-le likes to drive a car and the kids like to ride with him. No matter how hard he played football, his sleek black hair was always as smooth as Robert Taylor's. Last but surely not least we pre- sent Duard Henderson, the senior class president of this class of '37. Duard showed us that he can act by his portrayal of Nicodemus, the negro laborer, in our junior class plav, Duard also has a lot of Clit-ford Thomas Janette Van Derslxce athletic ability and has participated in many such events. The only post-graduate student from last year's class is Faith Lawrence, whose excellent scholar- ship resulted in .her membership in the National Honor Society and also being given the title of saluta- torian. Quiet and certainly cap- able, Faith has made a most favor- able impression in C. V. H. S. and we were glad that she could be with us one more year.

Virginia is not only liked by the boys.-Her merry smile and happy ways make friends where ever she goes. Now is the time to usher in Edna Eddy who is a friend to all. Her willingness to cooperate and take part in all activities has re- sulted in every one depending upon her, There are many things that Edna likes, such as singing and knitting. This ambitious girl al- ways enters into everything with a forcefullness and independence not equalled by others. In speaking of independent spirits we must not forget Robert Willson who played an important part in both football and basketball. Bob also had a special interest in the Hi-Y club as a cabinet member. His happy-go-lucky disposition and original ideas certainly didn't make him pass unnoticed in C. V. H. S. This good old high school is proud to announce Freda Theis as the girl who ranks high in grades. lt is said that the wise person is not the one who talks a lot. Per- haps this is the reason that we do not hear Freda elaborating quite as much as some of the rest of us. She has a natural wit and is bound to make the mark. On your mark-set-go Charles Taylor who entered C. V. from Texas must have acquired some of his striking personality from one of those Texas cowboys. Known to the school as a versatile athlete and a real fellow, Chuck is a husky example of a A'man's man in the outdoor manner. Vernon Lunsford is another mans man type senior. Not only has he been active in sports but he has held important places in Hi-Y and the P and G affairs. Although A'Vernie is rather re- served and quiet we have been told that he may be depended upon to do as good as the next fellow in any project that he may undertake. The projects that Celeste Meyer undertakes always fas you can imaginej are accomplished excel- lently. She is the only blond of the senior class and she knows how to make the G. R. parties never seem dull. The snaps in this book show how much imagination this young lady possesses. Can you imagine?- Edward Keyser has gone to College View school for thirteen years counting of course kindergarten. Although he is not one of us who blows around about his accomplishments, we all know that he keeps his mind on his own business and if this is any sign 'at all, Ed will be sure to com: out ahead, Myrtle Porter is also 0,10 who heads the class. A petite brunette who lends her voice along with the rest of the Pep Club is sure not to be lagging in spirit and Myrt certainly is not. She was on the G. R. cabinet and we know she did her duty. Her fine personality is a great asset. Our senior class has many great personalities, for instance Virgil Williams, who has also gon to College View schools for a good number of years, in fact, his whole school life. Virgil, who is a meme ber of the C. V, club and who was stage manager in the plays Fifn FII

It impressed us so much that we decided to accomplish a superior piece of detective work about the seniors in the C. V. H. S. The typical senior in the gradu- ating class is a boy, aged seven- teen, who lives in Lincoln. His hair is brown while his eyes are blue. and his complexion correspondingly light. In height, the typical senior averages five feet and six inches: in weight he tips the scale at 127 pounds. The scholastic average of this composite senior is just below 85 per cent for three years of senior high school, so he is not an honor roll student. He is, however, planninv lo attend the University of Nebraska next fallg he has maj- ored in English in high school, al- G4 fzicaf 437512501 though his vocational interest lies in mechanical or commercial pur- suits. l-le does not play football although he is interested in ath- letics. After making these assertions, like Ripley, we are ready to furnish proof. For example, the typical senior is a boy because in a class of twenty-seven members, four- teen Qa majorityj are boys and thirteen are girls. We know he plans to attend the University of Nebraska because fourteen seniors took the necessary examinations required for admittance. Naturally, he doesn't play football falthough many of the boys doj for none of the girls can be numbered among the game's devotees. Now that we have proved a few truths, some ideas based upon theory are in order. The average member of the class of '37 rises at 7:30 each morning at the insist- ence of his mother, He eats little breakfast, but applies himself to lunch, after-school eating, and din- ner with vigor. Every afternoon, he carries home two text-books and one notebook, then partially prepares one lesson. The typical senior enjoy motion pictures tre- mendously, would like to learn to dance, drives a car with some con- fidence and no little dash, burns with ambition for the future, and determines to remain young if he lives for a century. The typical senior is good- natured, generous. fun-loving, and fair. The major crime, he believes, is to be a poor sportsman. Al- though he may seem indifferent, Mr. Senior regrets graduation as much as he rejoices for he knows that high school has been a happy ex- perience and he may never recap- itulate its associations.
