SARITA MCHUGH COMMERCIAL The Curly blond head that Sarita bears is fairly whirling with secretarial duties and with athletics. It controls a heart well filled with sterling qualities. Hurrying about school, scudding up and down the hockey field, or racing down the basketball floor, Sarita is always on the go.

Basketball, X, XI, Baseball, XI, Varsity Club, XI, XII. WILLIAM E. METZ PRACTICAL ARTS Judging by the way Bill ambles through the hall, he never seems to have a care in the world.

Band, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII. 26 L COMMERCIAL Working himself to a frazzle for the honor of the basketball team or laboring doggedly on the baseball field, Monk always gives his best. Thus he is a true sportsman. For that he can be proud, for that we are proud of him. FLORENCE E. MILLER COMMERCIAL If sympathy and a patient manner are the keynotes of friend- ship, then Flossie bids fair to attract a host of companions.

NUTT LE COMMERCIAL That Titian locks are a sign of a hasty temper has often been displayed, but Kewpie's case is persuasive evidence that this is not true.

WILLIAM J. LILLIG PRACTICAL ARTS At all times and in all matters Bill is unobtrusive. Such self-effacement is not accidental, but in his case proceeds from true inner character. For lessons in friendship, call on Bill, Cinema Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. MILDRED C. LOWRY COMMERCIAL Unhurried composure soon turns to fervent enthusiasm as Soon as Mil displays her skill to the sports world.

MCCLINTOCK COMMERCIAL Rather like a little kitten, and a very lovable one at that, Duffy is at once the delight of everyone who makes her acquaintance.

DAVID A. MCCLURE ACADEMIC Puck in seven-league bootsu! How aptly that phrase de- scribes our Dave, A bundle of mischievous joviality, he is constantly playing pranks upon his indulgent classmates. But seriously, if you are in search of a true friend, look no further, you have found one in Dave. Golf Club, XI. JOSEPH L. MCHALE COMMERCIAL Excruciatingly funny with his many humorous remarks, Joe makes comical situations more humorous because he takes them seriously. But frankly, he is a capable person, having led the Hi-Y through a successful year. We are confident that his evenness of disposition will prove invaluable.

Glee Club, X, Cinema Club, XI, Probies' Club, XII. J. DONALD PLOTNER ACADEMIC Some five feet of gleeful connivance topped off with a wisp of rusty-colored hair, and a countenance liberally sprinkled with freckles comprise our Don.

QUAILE ACADEMIC Lefty is one person who has captured the enviable trait of usually being around, but seldom being heard.
