PAUL ACHENBACH-Even though Paul may be a quiet boy, he most certainly has not spent his time among us unnoticed. He has served faithfully as an executive of our class for the past three years. His handsome features and exceedingly pleasing personality have done much to make him one of the most popular fellows of our school. Paul's aim in life is to become a doctor. VVe hope he will be able to realize this most worthy ambition. RAYMOND ADAMS-Ray, through hard work and study, hopes to enter the electrical field upon leaving our school. The constant faithful work which he has done in the past four years proves that he has just what it takes to get ahead. His closest friends say that in his spare time he especially enjoys working on models of ai.rplanes. He also seems to possess a decided interest in music. ALBERT ADUKAITIS-The impression which Albert has left with us seems to be that his personality favors the quiet side. This, however, has in no way hindered him from gaining a great number of what we may term true friends. The plans which he has made for the future tend mainly toward commercial work, while his main recrea- tional interests are centered about out-door sports. ETHEL ANDERSON-Ethel's cheery, radiant smile has done much to help her classmates over the rough spots dur- ing the last four years. She is an active member of the Home Economics Club and has contributed conside.rably to the success of that organization. The old adage, Good things come in small packages, most certainly can be applied to Ethel. PAUL ANDERSON-A hard worker and a true student, Paul has just the right ideas about the best way to win a place for himself in this present social set-up. Not infrequently has his name appeared on the honor roll. In addi- tion, he was a member of our ever-active Student Council. Paul aims to become a business man, and a right good one he will make! NANCY BAINE-Directness is one of Nancy's outstanding characteristics. She always knows just what she wants to say, how she wants to say it, then promptly says it without further delay. Having arrived at P. H. S. during her sophomore year, Nan immediately found her place in the ranks of the best scholars of our class and has held her much coveted position ever since. ANGELO BARONE-With black hair and dark eyes, Angelo is a very good example of that Latin-from-Manhab tan. He has his own ideas, knows just what he wants, and does his very best to get it. Doing steady and consistent ll VVALTER HAR'I'LE'l I'-The merry twinkle in Walter's dark eyes acts as a powerful magnet, which has won for him many valuable friendships. However, not only is he extremely fond of having a good time, for he has also proved to us conclusively that work and play can be combined effectively. He is really an excellent scholar. Bartlett entered P. H. S. at the conventional time and has gone a long way since then. HELEN BAST-This young lady is one of our most active students. In view of her high scholastic standing, she was accepted into the membership of the National Honor Society. Her interest in athletics enabled her to become a member of the Senior Athletic Boosters, and a most reliable booster she is-in all that she does! Her name also appears among those on the 1939 Annual staff. Always ready, willing, and able, Helen is a most valuable asset to any group. PAUL BECHTEI.-Everyone knows that Paul, though of a quiet nature, has distinguished himself as a real scholar. After each grading period his name is sure to appear on the honor roll. Proof tif proof is neededl of his high schol- astic standing is the fact that he was selected to become a member of the National Honor Society at the end of his junior year. lle was also one of the outstanding members of our Student Council. MARY BECK-The charm which Mary possesses is something of which she may be proud. She is an active member of the Home Economics Club and always has been known to take a definite part in all of the organization's projects. She is the very incarnation of neatness- an admirable quality in any girl. The popularity which she has with her numerous acquaintances knows no bounds. CI..-KlflJE BENSEMAN-Claude is a member nf our truly famous Gym Team and has certainly done an excellent gymnastic job. Always a willing worker, he may well be very proud of what he has accomplished. Athletics, quite naturally, seem to interest him more than anything else. His musical inclinations lie in the direction of that inhale- exhale instrument - the harmonica. ' ARANETTA BERGER-Unusually reserved and quiet, Aranetta has shown herself to be consistent and steadfast in all her undertakings. She has early realized that a job once started must be completed and has aimed to carry out this principle to the letter. Her plans for the future center on secretarial work, while reading seems to be her most favored hobby and recreational activity. FERNE BOLTZ-Here's a girl who has the much-envied ability of being able to dance well with anyone. This, however, is not the only point in Ferne's favor, for she is also a reporter on the Hi-S-Poli: Newspaper staff. Then, too, she is an excellent swimmer. Her extremely friendly disposition has won for her many friendships which she will surely retain in the years to come. Page 15

CURRINE BOUND-Though exceedingly shy and quiet, Corrine has already formulated definite plans for the future. She intends to engage in oflice work and, since she is such a steady, faithful worker, we have not the slightest doubt that she wonlt do well. Corrine's outside interests center about the very worthwhile hobby of stamp collecting. Who knows? She may some day possess a very valuable collection. FRANK BRAZITIS-Frank's motto is Smile and the world smiles with you. Naturally, we never see him without his most engaging grin. Behind this ever-present smile is an exceedingly good nature and a sharp sense of humor. VVith this unusual combination we feel that Frank is proceeding in the right direction. He is particularly interested in industrial work. In fact, his enthusiasm for all things is quite catchy. ANNA BRENNAN-Petite, attractive, fun-loving--Anna really knows what it means to have a good time. Since she is an extraordinarily good dancer, we naturally assume that she is particularly fond of spending her free moments in practicing the latest steps. Her picture, as one can see for himself, bespeaks her beauty. However, Anna does know what it means to work, for she has certainly done her share. FAY BRIGHAM-Fay has the distinct honor of being the first member of the K'weaker sex who, in the past ten years, became president of our Student Council. Managing a governing body is no small joh. Fay has certainly done her work thoroughly and eliiciently. She holds an executive position in the National Honor Society, belongs to the Phi Gamma Lambda Sorority, and shows a marked talent for art. In fact, she is, undoubtedly, representative of all that could be desired in ally student. -IOSEPH BRODERICK-Though not too quiet, Joe never has very much to say- unless it is of real importance. lie selected the Shop Course while in P. H. S. and has shown us all what it means to work. He has laid down the rule that any job which he started must be completed. May this determination be with him always! MILDRED BROWN-Mildred is one of our quiet girls. At least, that is the impression most of us gathered. Her closest friends and classmates tell us that once she starts to talk and laugh, there is no telling how long it may last, Perhaps her tranquility at school is mostly modesty. At any rate, she is a willing worker- a tribute which cannot he paid to everyone. CARL BUEHLER-Perhaps the reason that Carl has so many friends lies in the fact that he possesses such a very attractive smile. Then, too, he also has a pleasant personality to go with it. The combination of these two always offers an advantage in any language. His main outside interests are in athletics, particularly softball games. How about trying out for joe Louis' team, Carl? l ll ll . I ll ll l 'Mil k W VVINFIELD BULAT-Winfield possesses an amazing sense of humor. This may help to account for the fact that people greatly enjoy talking with him. He is taking the Shop Course and does especially well in wood work, which really has become an avocation as well as a vocation. In coming years he hopes to come upon the world's stage as a construction engineer. May his debut be auspicious! .IANE BURGAN-Jane has proven herself to be a real asset to our class. She became a member of the Phi Gamma Lambda Sorority during her freshman year and has served that organization faithfully. ln her junior and senior years she most capably held the position of associate business manager of the Ili-S-P0tt.r Newspaper. Her laugh is contagious, her dependability is admirable. ROBERT BURNS-No, this isn't the chap after whom that ten-cent cigar is named. He is, however, illustrious in his own right. The poet was deeply interested in Nature, our Robert's alfections are claimed by sports in general and basketball in particular. Despite his weaknesses land he admits that he has somelj he, too, subscribes to A Man's a Man for A' That. JOSEPH BUSH- Joe joined the ranks of the class of '39 in his junior year and immediately gained a large circle of friends. He is especially fond of dancing and has certainly shown himself to be proficient in this art. Though his hair may be on the 'fred-ish side, he, by no means, exhibits any sign of a temper which is characteristic of his type. His friendly manner has made him most welcome among us. MARION BUSHAR-Scarcely ever do we see Marion without that individual, attractive smile - and Mary Choman! Though she may have her serious moods, her countenance gives us the impression that she is extremely pleased with life. This, however, does not hinder her from holding her own when it comes to any sort of important work, May her lot always be a happy and worthwhile one. NORMA CALHOUN-Gentlemen prefer blondes! At any rate that's what they say-whoever they are! Norma is tall, slender, has brown eyes and natural, golden blonde hair-in fact, all the qualities of a wide-awake girl. Her wit and versatile dancing ability, together with that cheerful spirit of sportsmanship, are among her out- standing qualities and accomplishments. She's most intelligent, too, her name has regularly appeared on the honor roll. Norma's favorite sport, at which she is quite prohcient, is swimming. May the currents in life against which she may have to swim never be too swift! RAY CAMODECA-Ray's apparent quiet nature may be deceiving, for his friends have informed us that he is really full of fun and always ready and willing to have a good time with others. Pleasure, however, does not by any means interfere with his work, for he realizes how important it is and has always been an excellent student. His sincerity is to be admired. Page I7
