IVIILFERD BABCOCK-lf a poll were taken, Milferd could easily be voted the most friendly boy in the class. We were all wor- ried when Milly hurt his leg in football and were re- lieved at his quick come- back. Keep smiling, Mil- ferd, and we know you will go places. ROBERT BEESE - Bob came back to our class last year after an absence of four years. He's an active member of his Youth Fel- lowship and is now presi- dent for the second year. Bob has an easy-going manner, but don't let it fool you. He can really work when he wants to. We will remember him for the excellent job he did as Mr. Webb in the junior play, Our Town. LITA BROWN - Lee's outstanding trait is wit, and this, plus her enthus- iasm, makes her a welcome member in any organiza- tion. Lita seems a natural social chairman, and she is always in demand for this job. She was respon- sible for the words of our senior song. Watch out, 'cause Lita likes to psycho- analyze people, and her ambitions may run along this line-after graduation from Hanover College. NANCY BUTLER-Nan cy has a store of ever-ready energy, and her ambition never seems to run thin. She is the editor of O- HIGH LIGHTS and liter- ary editor of our annual. Besides getting good grades, she is president of her Youth Fellowship. Nancy can always be counted on to liven things up-especially when started on Poochie Poo. 'Q sd 5,'4Q 115' xA Q., GLENN CARRUTHERS -Glenn is one of the steady members of our class. He is an expert con- versationalist and is a prominent runner on the O. H. S. track team. Every- body remembers the win- ter day that Glenn drove his tractor to school, and the Carruthers' barn is a favorite place for parties and Hi-Y initiations. ERNEST DENNY- Dea- con is acclaimed for his phenomenal long shots on the basketball floor. His dancing feet have carried him through many an eve- ning of records and jam sessions. He is a sharp dresser, and we love his white bucks, Singing is another of his favorite pas- times, and Etnies eyes seem to be always twink- ling with joy. GLORIA DONALDSON H-Gloria is one of our best girl athletes. There is not a sport in which she does- n't shine. Our Gloria talks slowly, but wait until she hits a dance floor! Shes quiet in classes, but at a banquet she's hilarious. Everybody loves her droll sense of humor and her snappy dress. WILLIE EDWARDS- Willie may be quiet, but he wins many friends with his slow, easy smile. He is quite a sports enthusiast and played both football and basketball this year. Willie has recently pur- chased a new car-not a new model but well-loved, we are sure.

LOUISE ELDER - Wee- Zie is our newcomer from Persia and a welcome ad- dition to our class. We all recognize het by her breathless way of talk- ing. She says she can't dance-eonly the Persian way. She showed a nat- ural talent for sports when she made the senior hock- ey team without ever hav- ing,played the game be- fore. After college at Ober- lin, we know that her friendliness will carry her far. CONSTANCE ELLIS- Connie is an amazing ex- ample of excellence in ath- letics. She has made All Star teams all through high school, and has been the captain of many teams. She is co-editor of the girls' sports section in this annual, and she can't be surpassed in enthusiasm. We are sure to see Con- nie in the not-too-distant future as a physical edu- cation teacher. FRANK ELLIS - Frank spends most of his time devising a way to beat the draft, but he has found time to be a whiz at chem- istry and physics and to gun around in his old car with Bruno, his huge St. Bernard. Frank loves to travel and is full of plans for summer excursions. Next year-Purdue, and later he hopes to put those flying lessons to use. KITTY FIXX-Kitty, a newcomer to our class, is truly a talented girl. We hear that she is quite a ten- nis player, and we will re- member her for her terrific stories, art ability, and sunny disposition. Her pep and friendliness, plus talent, will mean success in any future plans which she may have. Zy- .wa 'D I Ta ll -A z -I 3 ..-JV . Y' '-.ff .W f ' ,tix ,ff i 0? if .. , DICK FOWLER-Dick is the only boy who can sleep in English class and get away with it. He is a staunch member of the band and plays a mean trombone. If he-'s not around Oberlin, you'll find him out at the stock car speedway, urging the driv- ers across the line. We'll always remember him for his guitar playing and the bang-up job he did in Our Tou n. PAUL FRY-Paul, a trans- fer student from LaGrange, is a brand new addition to our class, but he made an immediate hit with his attractive personality and handsome appearance. We soon found that he is a rabid basketball enthusiast, and he was the hit of our annual skit when he ap- peared clothed as Mr. Fairchild. Paul has taken a job at Isaly's, and al- ready he has made many fast friends. MARY LOU GEAUMAN - Lou is one of our four peppy cheerleaders, and she showed a natural tal- ent when she danced at the glee club concert last! year. Mary Lou's friend- liness makes her a popular gal, and she is both a senior senate representa- tive and vice-president of Fine Arts. Mary Lou is also a picture editor on our annual staff and is a mem- ber of O-High-Lights. GRETA GETTY - Al- though Greta's favorite pastime is at Hiram, she manages to be an excel- lent Fine Arts president, color guard, and an ac- tive member of her Youth Fellowship. She was one of the first girls to drive, and she likes nothing bet- ter than to call for a few kids and to go on a trip around the countryside. Her ambition is to be a secretary and earn a mil- lion dollars.
