Dick is going to be a pedagogue ta teacher, to youj, and he should develop into a good one. Ile has a weakness for Indian relics and mystery stories. Ah, sweet mysteryl HOMA, HELEN Her eyes as stars of twilight fairg like twi- light's, too, her dusky hair must have been written of Helen by the poet Vllordsworth, for how applicable they are to her! To col- lege she will go. VVe hope that, sooner or later, her heart's desire- I1 trip around the world-may be realized. Smash your baggage, Latlvl HOMA, JOHN There's a certain je ne .mix quai about young Mr. Homa which most favorably impresses the casual observer. To be a machinist or to be a salesman-that, for Johnny, is the question. However, in which ever field of activity he casts his lot, we're certain that he'll be greeted with a 'WVelcome, Hema! HOOD, LILY Lily is usually in a quiet mood--not only in classes but also among her friends. tlmagine that! A quiet and sensible girl in our class! Will wonders never cease??j In the game of volleyball Lily serves until victory is won for her side without tak- ing time out to give herself or her opponent a rest. Lily finds shorthand her most agreeable subject and hopes to become a secre- tary. IIOPKINS, CHARLES Charles is taking the Industrial Course, electricity being his chief interest. This blond lad desires to enter a trade school. He is one of our ardent football fans, but he finds more thrill in playing baseball. We hope that Hopkins' sojourn in the realm of electricity-his chosen vocation-will not be too shocking l IIOYSOCK, STANLEY Mr. Hoysock is a most likeable young man. Step up and meet him some time! That mischievous twinkle in his eyes is inviting, indeed. He hopes to become a skilled worker for the great Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Stanley, our hope is that you may do well in your every worthwhile effort! HUGHES, BETTY Betty is another one of our peppy associates.

THE PLAYERS HEISLER, ROBERT In his two years among us Robert has found it relatively easy to make friends. Of a rather quiet disposition, he nevertheless, has made his presence felt. His activities were confined to required subjects only. Bob is interested in shop work. His prsent plans call for enlistment in Uncle Whiskers' Army. Yeh, Ar-m-m-yl IIENKEL, URSULA The name Ursula means saint. Now this clasmate of ours isn't exactly a saint fno living person ish, but she's a mighty fine girl. Ursula hopes to become a German and English correspondent, which, we think, is a lofty and worthy desire. Ursula will enter a business school this coming fall. We wish her well. HICKS, GRACE Beauty is truly beautiful when its comrade is Z1 modest mind. Grace is the fortunate possessor of both beauty and a modest mind. Whenever she's called upon to find the solu- tion of a knutty problem, one can usually hear her murmur, Just wait, I'm working up to it. Such a spirit cannot be denied! HIGGINS, GERMAINE This petite French friend of ours truly is of the opinion that there is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. She's cheerfulness personihed. Her warm smile and gleeful eyes are just what the doctor ordered. Hail and farewell, Germaine, au plaisir de vous revoir! HILDEBRAND, KATHERINE A good-natured, humorous, fun- loving person, with a yearn to tour the United States and the ability to design clothes- that's Kay. She and Evelyn Klitsch form a veritable female Damon - and - Pythias combination, One seems to be the complement of the other. Her willingness to take hold and lift places Kay high on our honorable recognition list. HOBBS, EDWARD f'Ed possesses a pleasing personality, a sense of humor, and a spirit of helpfulness. This friendly chap is liked by all his associates. His hobby is driving, his heart's desire-- a trip to China. Ed evidently doesn't believe in ghosts, for hels going to be lHold on to your hatsli an undertaker. Boo!! HOFFMAN, ALTHEA She is so seldom heard, so seldom seen that itls almost too difficult to find a fitting comment for Althea. Speak very little or very pleasantly appears to be the philosophy of this girl with the Greek legendary name. Behind her rather serious expression there are flashing dark eyes and a warm smile. HOFFMAN, JOHN John is not one of those shy persons who is too timid to make himself known and heard. His carefree attitude toward school work is somewhat deceiving, for he and studies really are on speaking terms. He puts forth a maximum effort both at work and at play. john plans to attend Ryan's Aeronautics School or enroll in the United States Air Corps. Page Twenty-four SENIOR CLASS '41

What an enviable combination! Her honors, as well as her friends, are numerous.
