CLASS WILL .... The World Belongs to the Energetic. The skill we have acquired through energy we have expended, we hereby will to all under-classmen. Of the many feats performed in high school none rank so high as that of scholastic fame. Those who have diligently sought and successfully attained this goal are, Gordon Gidding, Harold Robinson, Charles Rhoads, Lorie Merritt, Harris Willis, Charles Reveal, Edmond Woodmansee, Jack Mertz, Lawrence Burris, and Betty Williams. Of a lighter trend of mind are those nonchalant people who optimistically regard the future and regret not the past. These likeable people are, Sam Douds, Emmet Lloyd, Warren Campbell, Charles Mallow, Earl Mark, Joel Bailey, Glen Davis, Ernest Beuchler, Bob Haynes, Harold Reed, Clarence Reed, Laura Mae Yahn, and Helen Straley. Undoubtedly, mechanical and technical craftsmanship in industry will always be at a premium in the world. Our most skillful mechanics are Leslie Hosler, Robert Reno, Dale Roush, Richard Wilson, Robert Miller, and John A. McMurray. To some, dramatics contains the essence of work, play, art, and life itself. Our Thespians are Joan Allen, Laura Schadel, Jack White, George Cox, Homer Davis, and James Purcell. Our stars in athletics, Corky McCoy and Winifred McKinney, depended upon the co-operation and sportsmanship of Charles Stewardson, Charles Coffee, and Eugene Stanforth throughout their stay in high school. Since a merry heart doth good like a medicine, we find school life made more en- joyable by the presence of Margaret Ashley, Donna Jean Norris, Irene Ankrom, Betty Lucas, and Leah Custer. Outstanding as culinary artists are Donna Brandenburg, Evelyn Morrow, Louella Morris, Marjorie Bellar, Virginia Burnett, Betty Wallace, and Margaret Brandon. Emulating the tailorbird, Nellie Brunner excels all in sewing a fine seam. This quaint quatrain, , Out upon it: I have loved. Three whole days together. And am like to love three more, If it prove fair weather. cleverly characterizes Charles Tilbrook, Jack Hare, Bill Malone, Carl Hargrave, Robert Crooks, Donald Moore, John Coulter, Bob Mayor, Ruth Bennett, Alice Foster, Lorie West, Marjorie Dove, and Sarah Haines. After two years the efforts of Ruth Bush, Ruth Stethem, and Royal Fitzpatrick to acquire ability of reading and speaking French have been rewarded. James Worrell, James Wackman, Harold Hooks, Bob Gross, Lewis Elliott, and Her- bert Sanderson have been acclaimed historians extraordinary. For the spirit of co-operation citations are bestowed upon Carolyn Garringer, Georgia Brown, Robert Self, Mary Williams, Martha Jean Easter, Dorothy Plantz, and Bob Ben- nett, whose enthusiasm is unlimited for specific assignments. We aim to please is the smiling comeback of Betty Patch, Donald Ault, Charlotte Garman, Charles Bostwick, Waldo Hodson, Louise Stewart, Mildred Dunkle, David Moore, and Betty Wean. As bookkeepers, stenographers, and typists Wayne Taylor, Doris Smith, Paul Maugh- mer, Lela Porter, Willard Dice, Sarah Lyons, Anna Lee Thomas, Virginia Havens, Helen Willis, Pauline Vance, Helen Rose, and Mary Jane Hyer are outstanding. Of those who have entered to study and go forth to serve, none is better equipped than Betty Tooker and Doris Steed as commercial artists-theirs is an assured future. Apollo endowed LaVonne Jordan and Harold Armbrust with the gift of music, which is to be transmitted to underclassmen. Noted for their sportsmanship and super-salesmanship are Mary Jo Renick, Betty Toops, Jimmie Hutton, and Marjorie Caldwell. We are proud of theaccomplishments of our class and gladly will them to the un- derclassmen as goals to be attained. May they use them as stepping stones to higher attainments. We entered to learn and go forth to serve. Page Twenty-Flve
