RALEIGH CHANEY Another blonde from Defiance who shown an unusual love for Uncle Sam and has joined the Army. He hopes to stay there twenty years, but one never can predict about Chaney. “Chaney” is especially fond of dancing. When consulted as to his feminine likes. Raleigh says that he loves them all. JOHN CIMBALISTA Ripper” The tallest athlete in the class, likes both basketball and football. He hails from North Point and doesn’t care who knows it. Wher- ever you see Jenkins and Defibaugh. there is the other member of the Big 3. namely Cimbalista. “Rip- per” has definite likes and dislikes, and he definitely dislikes public speaking. John’s ambition is to become a detective. WILLIAM CLAWSON “Bob” A small” boy from Woodcock Valley, who is seen in Saxton quite frequently. Folks say it is not on school business either. He stands “pat” for small flivers either black or green. Bob has recently taken to tooting the bass horn and this combined with his other business should really get him somewhere. KENNETH DIXON “Ken” The man with a deep voice w’ho can really toot” the clarinet, “Ken” has many friends and many interests. Aside from his musical ability, rumor has it, he is intensely interested in Editor”ial work. If this “Block” is the fruits of his interest, we say Go to it, Ken.” Will wedding bells ring? To this “Kenny” has no answer. SILVIN CHIARIZIA “Si” Tall, dark and handsome. Si” hails from the city of Saxton itself. Is a gentleman of no mean ability in algebra and wants to take up aviation as a career. He likes to bowl, but has recently taken a dis- tinct fancy to dancing and the girls say that he is learning fast. At all football games. Si” was in evidence with the notebook and pencil and little in the line of de- tail escaped his view. A good “writer-upper” we’d say.

CATHERINE CIUCCI “Katrinka” This girl hails from Dudley and they don’t come any sweeter. She is an outstanding student and ex- cels in business. As business manager of the Block”. Katrinka” did an outstanding job. She is partial to the Navy and we don’t doubt but that it will be Anchors Aweigh one of these days. If so. what a lucky guy! DONALD DEFIBAUGH “Defi” Defi” is one of the most like- able chaps in the school. He is prominent in all school affairs, es- pecially basketball and dramatic work. His main ambition is to be an Engineer, and he is working to- ward that end. From the way he can engineer his way with a cer- tain Senior, we predict he has a swell future before him. Defi” says the only place he has failed in engineering was in trying to engineer himself from typing class. Mrs. Garber and Mr. Haring fur- nished the interference. PATTY ELDER Pat” Pat” is one of our local girls who is always busy both in school and out of school. With dark hair and a fair complexion, this young lady attracts many friends both young and old. Whether it be toot- ing the French horn in the band or making a pair of false teeth in Dr. Thomas' office. Pat” shows efficiency.

JOSEPH III NISH Jo Jot is one of the young men that hails from the vicinity of “Happy Hollow”. This might be one reason for his unusual happy and cheerful disposition. His main cronies are Hoover. Clawson and Troutman— and how these boys travel. Es- pecially to and from Round Knob. Joe comes from a farmer family and when question as to the fu- ture was vague but didn’t believe he would follow that profession. DORIS HINKLE “Lee” The only twin in the class and yet you would never know it. Strange to say she doesn’t even look like her twin sister. Doris is in- terested in many things and especi- ally likes to sing and dance. In school her extra activity is the chorus. Out of school- a returned G. I. in the form of an Irshman monopolizes much of her spare time. When Jimmy’s out of town you will find Doris at the new diner. A swell attraction for customers we’d say. WILDA HOOVER Pinky” When ever you hear dry humor in the business class, look sharp and you’ll know it comes from Wilda. Efficient in both typing and dic- tation. Wilda should be an excellent secretary to some mining executive —whether he lives in Six Mile Run. Defiance, or even Woodcock Valley. Talented in music we anticipate be- fore long Wilda will be playing while some fellow dances. “Pinky” has been very generous with her offerings of baritone music for as- sembly and many special programs. We wish you lots of luck Wilda 1 EVAN JENKINS Jinx Wherever you look, that ball of fire you see is Jinx”, possessing fiery rod hair, blue eyes, nnd a peppy disposition. . . Jinx” is one of the popular boys in the school His accomplishments are: Student Council President. Varsity Basket- ball. Class President one year, and many other worthwhile activities of the school. A real S. L. Rooter. RUTH HINISH Ruth has many friends and just as many accomplishments. Whe- ther it be playing a typewriter or beating a bass drum. Ruth is al- ways able to excell at both. When consulted ns to h« r future. “Hinish” thinks Robertsdale is a fine little city and would be an ideal location to take up the art of Home-Making. Evidently their is someone who has been willing to accept the proposi- tion. Time will tell. BETTY HELWIG A new comer this year, who hails from William Penn High. Harris- burg. Her main interest is in stringed instruments, and she always demands that the piano be in tune with the particular instrument she is playing. A “whiz” in Sales- manship. we are sure she will sell herself in whatever vocation she chooses. GERALD HUFF “Toots” A quiet unobtrusive boy not easily scared by the girls, as evidence in being the only boy in the short- hand class. Proof of this is not in the pudding, but by his marks. Who is his girl?? We’ll lea%'e that up to you for discovery—and Gerald won’t tell MARGARET KE1M “Maggie Do the bright lights dazzle you in English class ? If so it’s the sun shining on the sparkler that Maggie” is wearing on her third finger of the left hand. “Maggie” commands the classics, chorus, and Home. Ec. Which gives her a well rounded program which should be useful in later life. She readily admits wedding bells will be ring- ing shortly and we think Gene is a lucky guy. Her sister. Evelyn, will visit her in the Buckeye State where she will take up the art of homemaking. TWENTY-THREE
