1'V1ary Elizabeth Mcillanus Mary E. Mclvianus, charming Senior miss, was a wise selection of the G. C. H. S. faculty as a Typical Senior, for she was a leader in her class during four years in high school. Among her qualities of leadership were capability, persevef verance, ambition, and diplomacy. The mistress of an enchanting personality and an enticing smile, this illustrious maid attracted the friendship as well as the ad- miration of all those whom she contacted. Although quiet and demure, she possessed a delicate sense of humor that agreed perfectly with her tranquil dis' position and highly developed appreciation of the amenities of life. Her activity record exemplified the fact that she qarticipated in school affairs. Her clubs were Girls' Athletic, Pep, Future Homemakers, Physics, Crlee, and Publicity. She was a great help in the publication of the 1945 Yampafi in the capacity of Assistant Editor, and displayed her acting and singing ability in the Senior class play and the 1945 operetta, respectively. Wliencver there was a service to be rendered for the school, Mary's efficiency met the test. Ted Lough This curly-headed Senior had a popularity-plus rating, made apparent by a multitude of friends and admirers who well knew his worth. Une might think Ted Lough had a dual personality, for on the surface although he seemed the quiet, shy type who seldom had or expressed an idea, his acquaintances knew that he had very decided opinit ns and that his decisions and forceful actions were responsible for his being president of Student Council His courage and grit became obvious in three years of football, earning him two lettersg his easy- going nature, good judgment, and service to the squad led to his being elected Honorary Captain. Athletic, Radio, Math, and Science Clubs were his interestsg he was an irreplaceable member of the Band all four years. Ted's slow deliberate manner of speaking paid dividends as he portrayed the difficult part of a farm boy with big ideas in thelunior play. When Uncle Sam called thislikeable, well- balanced fellow into the Navy, it left a gap in school and community alike.

She was Society Editor of the 1944 Yampah. In 1944 a vote of the students gave her the undisputed honor of presidf ing as Snow Queen at the Christmas Formal. When Alyce put aside her school- boolcs and left G. C. H. S., the school lost a truly HO. K. Senior. Erwin Cramp Distinguished Erwin Cramp was the possessor of a genial disposition that balanced well the more serious side of his personality. Participating for four years in school activities, Erwin gained the confidence and friendship of the entire stu. dent body by virtue of his leadership, dependability, and enterprising spirit. Show- ing acting ability, he played prominent parts in both Junior and Senior class plays, Photography, Radio, Math, and Science Clubs were chosen bv this bcy, and he devoted much time and effort to each one. Aside from maintaining a good grade average, as evidenced by his being a member of the Scholastic Team when a Sen- ior, he also won an accountable reputation as a dogged and aggressive guard on the football eleven in 1945. Cramp's tact and good judgment was recognized by his fellow-classmates who elected him president in bothjunior and Senior years.

Paul Toomey Typical Senior are two words which, without a doubt, can be applied to versatile Paul Toomey, dynamic half-back of the 1944 footballeleven.
