Donna's main ambition is to be a teacher, but according to all reports we hear a certain fellow has other hopes and it » no wonder, for he comes from Hope-well. Well-Well-Well ! that's a deep sub- ject. JUANITA WALKER Nita” One of the prettiest girls in the class possesses a mop of hair that causes men's hearts to flutter. A crooner of notes. Juanita will no doubt go far who knows, maybe to Washington. At any rate, wher- ever she goes, whatever she does, it will be done with a smile.

Likes lots of fun and has friends galore except when she officiates a basketball game. She is always willing to help out any teacher at any time whenever she is needed She is quite undecided as to her future sometimes it’s nursing, at other times ? Whatever it is Maggie will do- ok. CLAIR TROUTMAN Clair is a shy young gentleman from the valley. His favorite pal next to Clawson. Stapleton and Hinish is his Old Lizzie”. Never has much trouble in finding plenty of company to go skating. Some- times we really wonder if he's shy or playing hard to get.” How about it. Helena??? WILLIAM WEAVER “Bill Tall, handsome. God's gift to the woman. A Foxy old boy. but wo discovered easily caught by another Fox. A typical Einstein, as shown in his love for science.
