SENIQR ACRO STICS Jolfes tind a ready recipient in her. Mirth is her constant companion. Credit is due her for such a sunny disposi- tion. Knaclc of learning languages belongs to her. Editor is her otticial position in activities, And she is an officer of her class. Great numbers ot friends acclaim her. I-,oveliest is she by the vote ot' the senior girls. Endeared to all has she ever been. That vivacious manner is all her own. Time and again- her popularity has been proven. Yet she remains her same unassuming seli. Happiness radiates irom her. Opinions ot her are always high. Drawing is an important ability in her. Dancing remains one of her favorite pas- times. Engaging triendliness belongs to her. Real and sincere is her laughter. Beauty and brains are plentiful in her. Editorial ability gained her the position she holds today. Thousands oi friends has she made by her personality. Through sweetness and loyalty she has lcept them. You and you have lcnown her lcindness. Leadership in her is recognized by all. Enchanting wit and pleasant laughter are never tar from her. Earnest or gay is she as the time requires. vigor and initiative are his strong points, In the icey position ol: president he advanced his class. Courtesy marlcs his every act. Chzxrming manner won him feminine ad- miration. Always has he carried out his taslc. Rational thinking sets his course. I,aggards he soon recognizes and passes. Stalwart height and blonde hair malces him outstanding. On the stage and in class he is equally capable. Never is he inactive. Page Twenty-six Dancing is always popular with hef- Singing modern lyrics is one oi her talents. This attractive young lady has l'l0YCICS of admirers. Entertaining and amiable are her ways. With a violin she is especially expert. At the 1938 Junior prom she was the queen. Reams of paper have been used in writing notes to her. The i'Hitt lcnows her as one oi its fairest daughters. Keen and active are his powers ot observa- tion. Learned is he in the lore ot the out-ot-doors. Indian dances featured him in chapel. Not an unworthy member ot an excellent organization is he. Dapper and suave is he in manner. Enterprises oi worth are always supported by him. Badges oi merit he has earned in great numbers. Engaged is he in worlc on the Hvatisticfi Reporting news he finds is interesting. Great' promise has he shown in this worlc. Work on the Hsurissvalianu gave him plenty to do. Keeping up his scholastic record was an- other big job. Enjoyable to him was his study ol chemistry. Literary classics furnish his reading ma- teriat. Latin and German are two oi his favorite studies, Yet he wishes he were more proiicient in both. Running the ball baclc is his autumnal pastime. Making conversation is second nature to him. Any time you see him heis actively engaged. Lest we forget, he wears a brown sweater, And fortune has favored him with a hand- some pan. Daily recitations are not his lqorteg Yet on the dance lioor, no jitterbug is more agile.
