ROBERT D. COLE ACADEM1C This is our earnest president, who has, for the last three years, shouldered willingly the major responsibility of keeping our class from going astray. This accomplished proficiency is due, in large measure, to Bob's knack of welding class effort into class success. A Cappella Choir, X, XI, Band, X, XI, Operetta, X, XI, Orchestra, X, XI, Class President, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, X, XI, XII, Class Play, XI. GURVIN W. COLLINS ACADEMIC With his carefree cavortings, Gurv has the faculty of carelessly garnering innumerable and lasting friends. He seems to have a unique philosophy that makes like good to the last drop. Obviously, Gurv's main enjoyment in school is de- rived from athletics. Baseball, X, XI, Captain, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII. ROSALIE M. COLLINS COMMERCIAL ' An aureola of curls frames Rosalie's delicate features. She is our lady debonair and cheerful. We surmise from her membership in the Probies' Club that she is considering nursing as her life's work. If so, we predict that she will make a charming nurse. Glee Club, X, Cinema Club, XI, Probies' Club, XII. DOROTHY M. CONGLETON COMMERCIAL Dot is very fond of keys, not only typewriter keys, but ivory ones as well, for she has a deep appreciation of good music. Dot has a fine alto voice, and consequently is a member of the senior sextet. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII. 20 F. GENEVIEVE CONNOR ' COMMERCIAL Moonglow and pale satin, sound of the dance, lyric grace, and a gay abandon of care-all of these phrases equal one person- Gen This charming miss will be remembered for her skillful enactment of both siren and heroine roles in our class dramatics. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, A Cappella Choir, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. VIVIAN I. COSTELLO COMMERCIAL A rippling sound of laughter, a gaiety of manner, and a zealous love of life combine in the person of our Viv, And as to sports, she can easily master any or all of them. Surely, this versatility should serve to aid Viv in achieving life's goal. Basketball, X, XII, Hockey, X, XII, Operetta, X, XII, Col- humr, XII, Cinema Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. CLIFFORD P. CROWERS ACADEMIC A breath of poetry, a bit of fluent French, and a touch of the debonair--that is Cliff, His impartial friendliness, his gentle sensitivity, his refinement, and his eager desire to please have brought him just rewards. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Hi-Y, XI, A Cappella Choir, XII, Class Play, XII, Collaumr, XII, Operetta, XII, TI-IIE COLSENIAN, Editor-in-Chief, XII. MARGARET M. DATTE COMMERCIAL In many ways Marge is a contradiction. With her auburn locks, she should be a lass of impulsive moods. She is anything but that. Ordinarily Marge is no feminine Mercury, how- ever, on the hockey field her winged feet have many times out- distanced her opponents. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, Collaumr, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII.

ELLEN BOOZ ACADEMIC Regardless of the weather, we can always depend on E1len's being in her accustomed place. However, this ever- present and punctual young lady with lustrous eyes is the rightful claimant to prominent honors as a worthy class com- panion. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Probies' Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELINOR M. BROBSTON COMMERCIAL El possesses a quality of loquaciousness that is enter- taining to all. Whether she is in school or out, she may always be seen contributing her humorous remarks or telling of her exciting experiences. Who could extract more thunder- ous yells from a crowd than cheerleader, El ? Glee Club, X, Basketball, X, Hockey, X, XI, Operetta, X, XII, Cheerleader, XII. ESTHER A. BURR ACADEMIC Here is a lady with soft blond hair and fair complexion, who has not lost the vanishing art of blushing. Moreover, what melodies of haunting loveliness can Essie not call forth at the touch of her hands upon the keys! She has served her school well. Glee Club, X, Orchestra, Pianist, X, XI, XII, Band, XI, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII, THE COLSEN- IAN Staff, XII. SARAH H. BYRNE COMMERCIAL It is not often that a person can have as many fingers in school pies, especially musical pies, as Sadie and still retain the same pleasant reticence. Morning, noon, and afternoon, Sadie is always the same, never cross, never tiring. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, X, DOROTHY E. CARLIN COMMERCIAL Have you ever met a person with whom the world is in complete accord? Well, Dot is that person. She receives uncomplainingly all tasks and all problems that fall to her, masters them and so continues. Always building, always a sweet, sympathetic comrade-our Dot. Glee Club, X, Operetta, XI, Bloomsburg Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. THOMAS CHARLES ACADEMIC Reticent and shy Chip appears to most of his classmates. But be not deceived! Beneath this exterior lies a genial and frank nature. Furthermore, his commendable teamwork on the football field has been a contributing factor in many a game. Hi-Y, X, Football, XI, XII. FLORENCE M. CHASE ACADEMIC We all know Floss, the girl with the refreshing air of wholesomeness and the soft friendly voice. She has the unique ability to sense the best, to seek the best, and to stand for the best. We cherish Floss's steadying influence. Glee Club, X, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Student Council, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, Xl, XII, Hi-Y, Xl, XII, Probies' Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. MARY J. CLARK COMMERCIAL Mary is a quiet member of '39. Those who know her best appreciate her true and loyal friendship. With methodical precision she executes her daily assignments. Although we are not aware of her future plans, we extend to her our best wishes. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X. XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Probies' Club, XII. I A I 19

RALPH L. DIEHL ACADEMIC Happy am I, from care am I free. This is typical of Ike -the original Ike, never worrying or studying too hard but always ready to elicit a laugh. But don't ever mention feminine acquaintances, or that crimson color is certain to creep over his ace. HERBERT A. DRUEDING PRACTICAL ARTS Such geniality as is found in Hick is indeed rare, as is his versatility. No wonder he has been cast in both of our class productions. Then, too, he has the knack of combining athletic prowess with witticism. Basketball, X, Chef Club, X, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Baseball, XI, A. A. Council, XI, XII, Class Play, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELSIE H. DUKES COMMERCIAL Are you in need of a true friend? If so, Elsie is that person, for her deep understanding gaze and hesitant smile are a balm that soothes the most troubled brow. Not to be overlooked, however, are her achievements as a hockeyist and an able bas- ketball manager. Glee Club, X, Hockey, XI, XII, Basketball Manager, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Secretary to Teacher, XII. JOHN B. DUPONT COMMERCIAL Focus your optics upon Duke, who seldom fails to make a dramatic appearance. But that is the way John does things. Besides, who would ever think that such an innocent-looking person could cause so much uproar? No matter, John, we like you just as you are. Baseball, X, Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, Class Play, XI, ELMER W. EDGE COMMERCIAL Beez is a saunterer. He strolls about school with his wor- ries, if present, subdued. Beez, though, always seems to meander where the fun is brewing, and he never fails to add his bit. Here's to success, Elmer! JAMES F. ELLIOTT PRACTICAL ARTS Peanut, needless to say, is of diminutive stature. Having directed the affairs of the football squad as he did, he has be- come a manager of some renown. Peanut, is another musician of the class, and a very good one at that. Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, XII, Football, Manager, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII. JOHN P. ELLIS ACADEMIC May we present-but, oh, how stupid we are! Of course, you know 'IBig John or Daddy John, as we affectionately call him. We do not suppose that there is anyone who has not seen his lumberous bulk on the football field, nor failed to appreciate his admirable personality. Student Council, X, Hi-Y, X, XI, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XII. RAYMOND FISHER ACADEMIC Hello, there! This is amateur station, F., calling sta- tion, XXYZ.U Who can this be? , No one but our electrically- minded classmate, Kay. Few of us suspected that this was his liking, but then you never can tell. Best of luck, Kay ! Football, XI, XII, Track, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII, Varsity Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. 21 1 l
