She plans to go to school this summer at' Laramie, Wyoming. The students enrolled in mechani- cal drawing, woodworking, and in- dustrial .art classes will find a very capable instructor in Mr. Leao Kirlin. No doubt, he will be remem- bered by more people as the referee for all the basketball and football games. This year he set the unusual record of having refereed 2,328 games since he began his career in Iowa about twenty-five years ago. Mr. Kirlin is a Junior Class spon- sor. He also excells in the art of fishing and hunting. If you wish to take a course which you will not forget, take one in mathematics from the very capable Elvira Mehegan. She herself is a graduate of Evanston High School and three of her children also claim the honor. Her fourth child, Paul, is a member of the class of '50, thus making Evanston High School the Alma Mater of the entire family. Mrs. Mehegan enjoys sewing and cook- ing. Some of her embroidery work are truly fine pieces for any collection. One of her best traits is that she never misses church.
