Laney's diverse talents and accomplishments are boundless. He writes, draws, plays a remarkable horn, and loves automobiles. He has participated in many school activities in many schools. Laney has led many of the Burroughs entertainment pro- grams and has been one of the best of Mrs. Gillan's performers. When not engaged in pur- suing his studies, Laney may be found at his farm, where he occasionally takes exercises by shooting turtles. Laney's passionate zeal for the detective novel and his barely bearable baritone are the basis for some witty asides ot his colleagues, which Laney seems to enjoy as much as his fellows. With his wealth of per- sonality and talent, Laney is an asset to any gathering and a sure thing to go places in life. IAMES ROBERT KEARNEY Ill lim Bob is best known for his unlimited acquaintance with the piano. Having mastered the art of Hot lazz, he has moved on to com- posing. This year he wrote a Iazz column for the World. He did an excellent job in the play Spring Dance, and increased the member- ship of the l. C. by one. lim is also notorious for the number of excursions he has made to various parts of the U. S.: these he lightly terms as his doings Nevertheless, with his many diversions, he continues to bring down honor grades, a feat which startles the faculty into submission. Iim's talents have given him in- numerable friends and admirers, all of whom say that he will certainly become the class millionaire, if kept away from forbidden auto- mobiles and marked cards. That is cz heck of cx note! Go Welt, young man! Page Twenty-Six

EDITH DREY EREUND Edie has been with us since the seventh grade, and from those first exciting days has been one of the best-liked girls of her class. Edie's contagious laugh is something that her classmates have been trying to figure out for years. When she laughs, the world laughs with her. lf someone needs a pencil sharpened or the pencil sharpener needs emptying, Edie is the little Miss Fix-it. Due to her lack of an ear for music, Mr. Weinrich bid farewell to one of his most outstanding members of the senior chorus, even though Edie's resounding voice has led many a Burroughs team to vic- tory. As Frances Finn, the innocent little co- quette in Spring Dance, she has uncovered her hidden ability for acting. Edie made a real place for herself at I. B. S. GEORGE BACON HAGEE George is one of those rare individuals who can find time to have lots of fun, and at the same time get top ranking grades. He likes fun, and he always makes whatever he is doing just that, for others, as well as for him- self. How he can get the grades he does, and still find time for messing around has puzzled more than one person. ln his Iunior year George was elected to the Student Court where in addition to his other duties he held down the vexing job of court clerk. We wonder if he will ever find that court slip mysteriously miss- ing from the records. lncidentally, the class has George to thank for his services in proof- reading and correcting the biographical sketches of the senior boys. lm confused! ls anybody detouring to Clayton?

BARBARA ARNOLD GIBBINS Brains, beauty, and boys can all be attributed to Bobbie. Her wonderful capacity for A's seems unlimited and you can always find one of her literary masterpieces in the Review. When not occupied with the Council, of which she is president, Buttons can be found blush- ing at the wrong end of Mr. Obourn's humor, or arguing with determination for the Student Federalists. Nevertheless, Gibby's chief claim to fame was her very wonderful decorations for the Prom which will aways be remembered as The most beautiful ever. Her distinguished performances as Lady Brackmell in THE IM- PORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, and as star left halfback on the Varsity hockey team also will never be forgotten. We now forgive Bob- bie's very apparent absent-mindedness: after all, there is an extremely tall, dark distraction! FREDERICK BEMIS LUYTIES Rick joined our class in the lunior year and his presence has been felt ever since. Lu- wheaties, as he is called by Mr. Obourn, is one of Mr. Weinrich's stalwarts. Rick is a very good-naturecl fellow, and often may be seen driving a group of seniors around in his blue Ford convertible. He is quite a talented ath- lete, a fact proved by his feats in golf, tennis, and basketball. He tried to introduce polo as a new activity in the Physical Education De- partment, but when Gov saw him cantering on the new sod, polo was eliminated. As a result Rick took touch football and demonstrated his really remarkable punting ability. His greatest asset is a grand smile. We understand that he has aspirations to become a Hollywood star. My kingdom for ex hone! The biggest fish on the Obe's line. Nggr BARBARA ARNOLD GIBBINS TENTH GRADE: A Hockey, A Soccer, Glee Club, Scul- pture, Party Committee.
