The student body named Joe Celania as its choice for the most popular senior boy. Joe displayed his football ability last season by helping our team win the state championship. He won a place on the Iowa Daily Press Association’s first team. Joe played basketball also and he did well. However, his talents were not limited to sports. He has been a member of the mixed chorus for several semesters. He sang a solo in the Christ- mas pageant and was popularly acclaim- ed by the student body. JOE CELANIA Max Swaim Jack Barber Francis Taylor Harold Lind The list of runners-up in the popu- larity contest includes outstanding sen- ior students. Max Swaim won a place on the All-State football team. Jack Barber served as president of the Student Council and appeared in various Dra- matic Club plays. Francis Taylors passing ability on the football team was widely praised. Harold Lind was adept in basketball and was elected president of the Senior Class. Norma Rhoads showed great skill in Dramatic Club plays. Marguerite Johnston was the student body’s choice for the Homecom- ing Queen last fall. Ludora Lindman. who thrilled audiences by her singing in the Christmas pageant, won a superior rating in the state contest.

{ZJfl£L Pojl utar 'i For the most {popular senior girl the student body elected Roberta Hilliard. Bobby as she is commonly known, came to our school from Fairfield, but she soon made her place here. She ac- quired the position of Humor Editor on the News, which she managed quite suc- cessfully. She became a member of Shark Club and took part in pageants sponsored by the Club. Bobby made friends easily. She well deserves the honor bestowed upon her. Norma Rhoads Eudora Lindman Marguerite Johnston Bette Ellen Jones ROBERTA HILLIARD A secret desire of every student is to be liked by his fellow students. With some this is a natural gift, but with others it is an achievement. By the time stu- dents are seniors, there are those in the class who because of their services and personalities have become popular with a large part of the student body. The selection of the two outstanding indivi- duals in the Senior Class is a matter of interest to every student, and recogniz- ing that fact, the Argus Annual sponsors each year the Senior Popularity Contest. Members of the Annual Staff super- vise the election in each advisory group, the entire student body serving as the electorate. The results of the contest are not revealed until the Argus is pre- sented—thus augmenting interest in both the Annual and in the contest. Page 2-1
