SENIOR CLASS '41 THE PLAYERS FRANKENSTEIN, lIELEN If Silence is Golden, then surely some day Helen will be wealthy. She believes in keeping her opinions to herself. Not a little of her time is spent in reading, and she is ve.ry seldom unprepared. With such a background we feel sure that we'll be hearing good things about Helen in the not-too-distant future. FRANKENSTEIN, VINCENT The bookkeeping teachers will miss Vincent when he leaves, for he has been a most interested student. He really takes his work seriously and would like to put his knowledge into practice as a clerk. If he continues to work as hard as he did in school, we know he'll be a worthy employee in any business. FRANTZ, FLOYD lf you have a question, just ask Floyd. He never seems to be at a loss for an answer. Most of his leisure time is spent in model building and photography. He would like to attend Thompson's Business School. To become acquainted with the work of a commercial pilot is his current desire. FREED, RUSSEL Photography seems to have captured this young man's fancy. He hopes to gain entrance into the U. S. Army's photographic department. Russel has made many friends in school because of his rare sense of humor. But if any of you are camera shy, the safest thing to do is to keep out of his way. FREEMAN, NETTA Netta is easy-going and carefree. Her arn- bition in life is simply, as she says, to be successful. At what? VVelI, she isnlt specific in that. From this we venture an opinion that her philosophy must be, Study as if you were to live forever, live as if you were to die tomorrow. FRIE, FRANK Frank is a boy who takes delight in roaming through the forest, studying the care of IFCCS. He wants to know afl there is tofknow about them and then become a National For- ester. So, as far as Frank is concerned, we'll just let Nature take its course. VVhat silent majestic friends he'll have! FRIEDMAN, DONALD At such a tender age, this musical genius is already quite the master of the violin. Kind-hearted, witty, and every inch a musician, Donald has, without a doubt, won the admiration of his fellow students. He plans to continue his studies at the julliard School of Music. We're proud of this future Fritz Kreisler. GAINER, RUTH This dark-haired young lady is everyone's friend. Her quiet demeanor is very becoming. It's said that actions speak louder than words. Ruth provides adequate proof of this. VVith jovial nature shown by gleaming smile, she meets each day and stops to laugh awhile. Can anyone ever recall having re- ceived a harsh word from her?
