I-IARRIET VIRGINIA BLAND Stories ol Pine Blutt, Arkansas, a Southern accent, and Ginny became one of us in the eleventh grade. Although that Southern accent doesn't help her in dramatics or Glee Club, the Arkansas men seem to like it. Since Ginny has moved to St. Louis, the most important man in her life is the postman, who brings her warm letters from cold Alaska. While Ginny managed to cut her way through Husmud for a good grade in Biology, algebra will always be her favorite course, Dixie's lucky number was nyne. Ginny will long be remembered for her winning personality, con- sideration for others, open houses, and last but not least, her great ability and enthusiasm for Physical Education. Hail to Dixie! DENNIS PURVER COX Dennis is one of the old guard, having com- pleted the cycle that started at Community and finished with six glorious years at Burroughs. Dennis is not the type of person who does a lot of talking, but he's the kind of person Whom We like to have around because of his understand- ing and his good sense oi humor. There are numerous reasons for admiring Dennis, and we all look up to him as being a man of many ways. Besides being an Air Scout and also showing great interest in Aeronautics, Denny has been an enthusiastic member of the soccer team and of the Glee Club. Dennis is very proud of the fact that he hails from Webster, and is equally proud ot the I-Iudsons that have dominated his family automotive transportation. 'Not bud! Take me back to Arkansas.

A flashy red Chevrolet coupe with foglights, spotlights, and a chromium swan as a radiator decoration comes flying into the parking lot every morning at eight-thirty. You look behind the wheel and who do you see? None other than Bux himself. Burr entered our class in the ninth grade with a bang. He has been an important asset to the A teams: winning letters in them all, and he has been an excel- lent-plus student in fine arts and architecture. His ironical Wit and explosive laughter have kept the boys in stitches tor tour years. Brix was the original inventor of the Buxell Week- end, that is to have dates with four different girls on a weekend, and still have none of the girls know it among themselves. BARBARA I EAN BISHOP Barbara is characterized by her sweet smile and soft voice which reveal her sympathetic and kind personality. She asks innumerable questions, and sometimes the point of a very subtle joke has to be explained to her, especial- ly in seventh period English class. Barbara has always been interested in dramatics, and last year turned in a very capable performance ot Kay in Stage Door. She is an honor mem- ber in the HG. tHate Gym? Club. Her wonder- ful luncheons will long be remembered by the class-such food, such prizes! She has many interests, notable among which are her activi- ties on the Review and Yearbook. Barb will probably be the last girl in the class to drive, because she has simply put it otf. NWT I'vo won: l've won! You don't moan mo! Page Sixteen

TOM WYLES DAY Tom has suffered with us since his entrance into the eighth grade. He entered in a haze and leaves with a cheer. He has sustained his existence upon this lowly globe by delving into the divine art of dramatics, which endeavor foisted upon us his magnificent rendition of Algey in The Importance of Being Earnest. As well as being a dramatic star, he has been a strong member of the Glee Club. Left to himself Tom would run a mile a day, and join every health club. The rest of us are forced to silence this exuberence in the fear that we might be coerced into following his example: nevertheless, Tom has succeeded in playing very well on the A football, soccer, and tennis teams. May our parting wish be that he never lose his briefcase. NANCY GENE BURGER We know that Nancy is about to join us when we see a brand new Ford hurtling by and hear the screech of brakes and the slam of a car door. Nancy is one oi the gayest members of the class, as well as one of the sweetest and most generous. She is known for having as many new men as new cars. When confronted with the long list of escorts in her life, a dim- ple appears on her cheek as she smiles guile- lessly and says, I'm not really fickle. She has done a wonderful job of keeping us in- formed in the gossip column of The World. Nancy is one of those people who receive very frequent mail from friends, and for whom she knits argyle socks by the dozens. Incidentally Nancy is an automobile salesman of no mean ability.
