Leia Huntley Typical American girl is a term which Leta Huntley, pretty Senior miss, fits to a T. She attended Glenwood Public Schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade, leaving a very desirable scholastic and activity record in her wake. She embarked on her eventful high school career by being elected secretaryftreasurer of the class, an office she retained until graduation. Her membership in Glee, Pep, Publicity, and International Clubs plus her accomplishments as one of the Art Edi- tors ofthe 1945 Yampah clearly showed her many interests. Leta's jet hair, flash- ing brown eyes, and distinctiveness served her well in playing the part of a lovely model in the junior class play. A leader in scholastics, this enthusiastic attractive girl was always the embodiment of tact, courtesy, and responsibility. La Verne Buckles LaVerne Buckles should have been called outstanding rather than utypf ical in scholastics, since he never failed to merit having his name on the Honor Roll, nor to represent G. C. H. S. yearly on the scholastic team. ln his sopho- more year he was awarded a state scholarship medal, he was the valedictorian of the Class of 1945. Endowed with a great number of enviable characteristics, foremost among them initiative and reliability combined with a pleasant personality, this boy served on Student Council for three years, was Art Editor of the yearbook in 1944, and Editor-in-chief in 1945. His work in creating the Fairyland for the junior-Senior Prom in 1944 will long be remembered. LaVerne was an ardent member of the Band, of Handicraft, Math, and Science Clubs, and revealed his skill in Thespian art in both the Iunior and Senior class plays. Already a mem- ber of his country's Boys in Blue, he later plans to become an architect. The students salute LaVerne Buckles, a Typical Senior.

Tyipviieall Seniors To give due recognition to the Seniors who have been the pace-setters in the activities of the school, this section has been added to the Yampah. By a vote ofthe faculty, eight Seniors were chosen-not those who excelled in only one field of endeavor, but those who were outstanding in many fields. We give you the typical all-round students to the Class of 1945, the ones who exemplify achievements involving leadership, attitude, dependability, and versatility in activities. These representatives may not be the highest scholas- tically nor the ones who shone in one special way, but they are the ones who met each clay's tasks wtih responsibility and passed each day's tests with dignity, who were eager and kept feeling for new things, We think they are Typical.
