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

ROBERT CANTVVELL- Fill 'er up, sir? Check your water? These and many other familiar expressions will in the future tif fate isn't unkindj be uttered from the lips of Bob. Ile, above all, is a diligent auto mechanic-the result of hard study in the Industrial Course. l'Iis basketball ability warranted his being a varsity team member. Bob's tine sportsmanship is a trait of which we all cannot boast. His name should be Canwell ! ELlZABE'I'll CARI.- Ternperature, 98.65 pulse, 455 you're okay. lt would be a pleasure to be ill if Betty were the attending nurse. A cheery smile, a white cap on soft, beautiful, auburn hair, and a neat appearance-what more could a patient ask for? In addition, she is a graceful dancer, an expert rider, and possesses charm, poise, and tact. HAROLD CARTVVRIGHT-''Magazine racks, end tables, book ends, etc., for sale. A professional cabinet maker is in the making. Harold doesn't believe in hanging around school for club meetings and such, but he doesnlt mind tin fact, he loves toj spend hours in the woodshop. VVe've often wondered!! Is he, or isn't he a woman hater? VVe've never been able to get the goods on him. MARTIN CASEY-Happy-go-lucky-that's Casey! VVhen some prank has been played, you can be sure 'KCase had a hand in it. Although he wasn't active in extra-curricular activities, he did take much interest in electricity and some day hopes to be another Steinmetz. Although it is not generally known, he ean't be beat when it comes to play- ing sweet swing on the sweet potato. But definitely! PEARL CHATTIN-VVhat an example of femininity! Small in stature, graceful in action, quiet and subtle-these are her outstanding personality traits. Although she participated in few activities, she was a loyal member of the Library Club. If her ambitions are realized, what an asset she will be if the old saying, A good nurse is a doctor's right hand, still holds true. She is one of the better students of our class. MARY CHOMAN-Tall, slender, witty, and carefree-that's Mary. How dull the Library Club would be without Mary's occasional giggles and worthwhile suggestions. VVhat would the A Cappella do without her beautiful soprano voice? The ability to dance gracefully is something of which all of us cannot boast. Beautiful eyes of blue plus a merry smile should have some effect upon the opposite sex. Nlaybe it does! VVho knows? HARRY CLAPPIER-Harry, better known to most of his friends as Stripe, is an extremely quiet chap, unless you are one of his most intimate friends. A considerable amount of his time is spent in reading, although he has a hobby of drawing pictures of airplanes, battleships, and submarines during school hours. Perhaps he will become a famous architect or engineer. At least, that's the hope we entertain for him. Katie. And just listen to her make that saxophone talk in the orchestra! Vl'e're sure the neighbors don't object to her practicing. VVhat a dull day it is when Kathryn, with her hearty laugh, is absent. Swimming, plus basketball, baseball and other s orts have added vim and fair ila' to her ersonalitv trails. v P l F P . VERA COLEMAN-Ride 'em, cowgirl, ride 'emi And can she ride? She makes not only a bucking bronco feel ashamed of himself but also her opponents in ally athletic contest. Footloose and fancy-free best describes this bundle of pep, enthusiasm, and vigor. Her merry smile and hearty laugh act like a magnet among her classmates. FRANCIS COLLIER-Ah! Another lad who hails from Palo Alto. Tall, handsome, and blond he is. Although he didn't play varsity football, he was very much interested in it. He usually can be found patrolling the halls. Francis doesn't believe in hurrying. Although very quiet and apparently backward, he does appear to be able to make his presence felt. There's no mistake about that. GENEVIEVE CONNORS-Blonde and petite-that's Genevieve. Even though she is quite feminine in class, she can't be beat when it comes to dropping the basketball through the hoop or clearing the net. Athletics have added another trait-good sportsmanship-to her already excellent characterisics. She's a typical out-of-doors girl. DANIEI. COONAN-Vllhat? Another native of Palo Alto? K'Dan must be a descendant of Thomas A. Edison, for he is following in his footsteps. If ever you want to know something about some intricate electrical appliance, just ask Danny. The fact that he did not participate in extra-curricular activities cannot be held against him, for a con- scientious and sincere electrician is bound to get ahead -or a shock!! HELEN CRANDALI.-Helen is a product of the ever-popular East Side. She is a Commercial student and has already embarked on a business career in that she is employed as a part-time clerk at one of our prominent stores. This sweet brunette is an enthusiastic member of our cheering squad. lier quick smile and adorable dimples are meaningful witnesses to her cheer-full disposition. ELLSYVORTII DAVIS-Splash! Splash! Look outg there goes someone to the bottom of the pool! kVrong again. It was only Ellsie doing some fancy diving. VVhat would we do without our professional tormentor and his tricky smile? This tall, slender member of the A Cappella Choir, Library Club, and Dramatic Club can also hold his own carcass when it comes to roller skating. Girls are the least of his worries, 'tis said. Page I9
