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.

VIOLA DAVIS-Click! Click! Bang! 'I'here's Viola, pounding away on the typewriter. Having been enrolled in the Commercial Course, she has prepared herself to he a 'fstenogf' Her leisure hours from the ofhce will in all probability be spent on the dance floor or in the swimming pool. There certainly is nothing so refreshing as a hit of variety in one's activities, is there, Viola? FRANK DAY-24-36-45 Action! Day made the tackle!l' VVhat an asset Apie has been to our class! Captain of the football team, a member of the A Cappella Choir, a former wrestler, a good dancer fyes, he knows his stepsj, and class vice-president during his junior year- all these, in addition to personality plus, a big smile and Hello for everyone, have made him the most popular fellow in school and an All-Around American boy. VIRGINIA DEEB- Take a letter, please! Ah! These words will be sweet music to Virginia's ears. i'Lucky is the word for the employer who has this striking beauty working in his orhce. Beautiful, black hair, twinkling, black eyes, and a big smile is enough to set any heart palpitating. And can she dance? A not uncommon sight is Virginia swinging and swaying in the girls' gym at noon. NVhen it comes to members of the opposite sex-well, what do you think? FLORENCE DENGLER-Fair as the lily, loyal, obedient, sweet, sentimental, intelligent, and energetic is 'iFlossie. Be it basketball, volley ball, baseball, or what have you, 'fFloss is a lover of them all. However, swimming and dancing are tops A wecome guest anywhere is this fair young maiden with the disposition all girls desire. Our official gloom Chaser has brightened up many a dull day. ALFRED DERAMO-Quiet, backward, conscientious, and athletic-these characterize 'iFreddie. This young man of few words possesses a dry sense of humor. He has proved himself an enjoyable companion and classmate. His principal extra-curricular interest is in the activities of the Sketch Club. lie should be well qualified to grapple with life's problems, for he's also a grunt-and-groan squad member. CHRISTIE DEVER-How can anyone be blue when Christie, bubbling over with wit and mirth, is around? All types of sports, reading, and dancing occupy most of her time. Even though she wasn't active in the various clubs, she was a member of the A Cappella Choir. Many a gloomy day was made cheerful by this happy-go-lucky Miss, who hails from Greenwood Hill. FRANCIS DICELLO-VVhat is more romantic than a moonlight night and an accordion solo? Although he himself is not very eloquent in class, he certainly can make his accordion Htalkf' Perhaps a famous musician is in the mak- RICIIARD DIETRICH-All hands on deck for Dick Dietrich of the Navy! VVhat is more picturesque than mid- shipmen on parade! Perhaps Dick's ability to play the bugle will come in mighty handy when reverie or taps are to be sounded. Dick has an unusual but interesting hobby- that of raising pigeons. llow about giving the Navy a helping hand? ROBERT DIETRICH-Dietrich is a hefty enrolee in the Industrial Curriculum, his major interest centering in electricity and its elusiveness. Press a button, you or me, and then this great 'lectricity will do the rest while we with zest sit 'round and try to look our l1est - well, for such perfection is Dietrich striving. ALEX DIETZ-No group would be complete without a blond male. Our class is not deficient in that respect, for Alex answers to that description. Rather than be a jack-of-all-trades, he did not participate in any activities. Per- haps he wasn't quite so active as he might have been in class work, either. But then, many who were not particularly fond of school work turned out to be famous. CLAIRE DOLAN-Ah! A modern jitterbug! Anyone who attended our formal dances was sure to see Claire burn- ing up the floor. Dancing and swimming seem to be her favorite forms of recreation and exercise. She is just as graceful in the water as she is on the dance floor. She must have music in her soul, too, for her piano-pllaying ability, we are told, is of merit. - JOHN DONOVAN-VVl1iz!! There goes Donovan flying by. Although he wasn't near the top in classwork, he was among those present when it came to track and basketball. lt looks as though the words Donovan and sports are synonymous, for another Donovan-Arthur-is the renowned boxing referee. Donovan without a grin is like a school without a teacher. SALVATRICE DRAGNA- Sally is sweet, alluring, lovely, likeable, and demure. In addition, a lover of music is our dainty little Miss. Not only is she an accomplished pianist, but she can also sing like a lark. And - her danc- ing is divine! A big smile and a cheery Good morning from Sally are sure to start the day right. STEVE DROPCHICK-Breakfast in New York, lunch in Paris, and dinner in Yokohama-that's the life UFoozy would like. CVVho wouldn't?l VVill it be a U. S. Transport or a China Clipper that this ambitious young man will pilot? Like Henry Busse, he's an accomplished trumpeter and was a most worthy addition to our band. And does the fact that he hails from St. Clair account for his being an excellent sprinter? Page 21 s
