O as fr 534211 as es X emozres -YY .W o me -e -e sv GRANT WILSON ANGLEMYER Grant Inter-class Basketball, I-Z. 9 Grant is one of those seniors whom everyone knows. He never acquires much attention by talking, for he is a very solemn and quiet person. His main desire in the future is to retire, an aim which very few people ever attain so early in life. but who knows? Grant is taking a General course and, conndenf tially, it is all general to him. His motto fwe've found out after careful observationj is Silence is golden. But he has also found, to his disgust, that Silence brings zeros in reci- tations. His favorite pastimes are dozing off Conly to be rudely awakened by the teacherj and teasing the girls. Grant played inter-class basketball two years and we know that he isn't altogether ambitionless. We think that he will probably study scientific farming. OSCAR ASHMAN OSS Football, 2-3-4: Track. 2: Baseball. 3-4. 9 Did you see that? He cleared ten six that time. Yes. that boy from Freemansburg can do almost anything. Oscar is known quite widely as an all-round athlete. For three years he has been one of our football stars. For three years he has stood out in track and for two years has held down a position on the baseball team. Oss is also a very good student. When he isn'r on the athletic field he is deeply engrossed in studying. He is well liked by everyone for his very good sense of humor and his willingness to help in anyway that he can. T RUDOLPH ASHMAN Rudy Football. 4: Truck, 3-4: Inter-class Basketball, 4: Glee Club. 4: Opera-Ira, 3-4: Dramatic Club. President. 4: Senior Play. 9 Hello folks! What have we here? A large crowd at a Wil- son High football game! All of a sudden there is a great roar as the Wilson team comes on the field. There is one person in particular whom they are all cheering and that is the Great Rudy Ashmanf' Then scene changes to the class room and there you see the A'Mighty Rudy Ashmanf' busy as a bee doing his own work and sometimes someone else's. Then there is another place where our beloved Rudy shines and that is as president of the Dramatic Club. We know that Rudy is striving hard to make the grade for Lehigh and we surely hope that he does make it. Good luck to you Rudy! JESSE BENZ Bessie Jenz lllanagvr Truck Team, 4: Scorekeeper Inter-flats Sports. I-2-3-4. 9 Jesse Benz has been very active during his high school career. Jesse is very good humored. If he takes the bad end of any of the fellows' jokes, he always manages to give the bad end back to them again. Jesse was assistant track manager last year and received managership this year. He has kept score for all the inter-class games in the past four years. He is taking a commer- cial course in hopes that he will be ready to set up a print shop and make it a good business. fifteen

The one and only Arthur Acton, a very modest, pleasant and congenial boy. He is known far and wide for his pet hobby, which is RADIO. He has proved his capabilities in this study by being a member of the radio station WZVN for one year. Some day Art hopes -to be a second Marconi, and if he keeps up this ambition with the sincerity he now has for it, he is sure to fulfill his highest ambi- tions. Art has hung up an enviable record by being at the head of his class for the past 12 years. Is it any wonder with the initials A. W. A.? Oh, Yes! he has another pet hobby or am- bition, that is to learn to dance. Well, Art, here's hoping we will see you some day as head of the A.W.A. Radio Corporation. RUSSELL ALBERT Russ 9 Here he is. Who? The biggest man in our class. He is a perfect forty. Russell is one of the quietest boys in the class. Although he is in no extra-curricular activities, he is quite an ac- tive fellow outside of school. If you ever see a big fellow filling up the Borough truck or cutting the weeds down along the side of a road you will know that it is Russ, trying to reduce to a perfect thirty-six. Russ is a commercial student and some day we may see him secretary to the President. IVIAURICE B. ALBRIGHT Bud Init-r-class Basketball. I-2-3: film' Cluh. 4: Echo, Boys' Sports. 4: Year Book. Boys' Sports. 9 It's quarter after nine. A pair of spats, a high hat and a cane are seen leisurely walking toward the building. No, you have the wrong impression entirely. They are not coming alone: they are bringing Maurice Boyle Albright with them. Mr. Al- bright, when asked why such an ensemble is being worn. merely replies, 'llust getting in practice for the time when it will be necessary for me to wear such duds as these to Congress. So, Albright to Congress, to end the depression. But try to get there, Bud, before it adjourns. WooDRow W1LsoN ALTEMOSE Woody Cap Football, 3-4: lnrcr-class Spofls, I-Z-3. 9 Well, Girls, I am sorry but I can't be bothered. Please do not write, for I have no time to answer your mail-But why doesn't Woody have time? Oh! We have it, it's a secret, but we will let you in on it. Woody is busy taking care of his crops and his cattle. Woody is the senior class farmer. You are sure of your trade. Woody. He was also a player on the football squad where he was a dependable tackle. Someday Woody will bring fame to Wilson Borough. fourteen

.wg - JAMES BRASEFIELD i'Jl'm 9 Well! folks, here he is! James Braselield, better known around the school as Jim. James plays the cornet in the band and orchestra. Because his cornet was kidnapped last year. he was unable to play for some time. but now he has bought a new one. and he is again to be heard in our musical organiza- tions. James is a tenor in the boy's glee club, and a very active member of the business staff of the Les Memoires. We do not know what Jim intends to do after graduation, but so far he has shown signs of being a A'plummer. EVELYN H. BROWN Ebby 9 And here we have none other than Eve! Eve has dis- played a talent for music as a pianist and she can also sing. She has been in the Glee Club for two years and has helped the choruses of the Operettas to be a success. Eve loves to dance, especially with a certain someone. She has also given some of her artistic ability to the use of Wilson High. Eve's long blond hair is her crowning glory. Some people think Eve sits around dreaming. but all the while we know she is concentrating on this ' certain someone. sixteen Inter-class Sports, 4: Orchestra, I-2-3: Cornet: Band, I-2-3, Cornet: G'rt' Club.

But then again. what a fellow! Bill may be almost as big as a horse, but he is five times as gentle-except when on the gridiron, Bill is the pride of Pop Hess on both the football and track teams. For the past three years in football, he has been a mainstay in the line with a guard position, and in track he was the star of the shot put and discus throw. This is not all we know of him, how- ever. His voice aided very much in the success of last years' Operetta, Oh Doctor! in which he carried the role of the bold. bad robber, He is also quite an actor, having taken part in various plays. KATHLEEN BRETTELL Kathie Girl Reserves. I-I-3-4: Cl:-ti Cath. 2-i-4: Operelta Cho- rus, 3-4: Dramatic, 4g Year Book. Literary Staff, 4: Honor Student 9 Alphabetically this tall and modest blonde girl is the first girl in the class. Kathleen's mofto is, Be prepared, and she certainly upholds it. She is a very studious and energetic girl and always has her lessons prepared for class. Anyone can Hnd her busy studying while the others fool and look around the class room hunting for trouble. Her studiousness and intelli- gence certainly make her a fine combination and together make her an outstanding classmate and friend. In the classroom Kath- leen is very quiet. but at any social gathering she is an interest- ing and charming companion. s ee
