.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

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

Il Les emozres -Mk 1 --, . 1 H- ' 'HP' MARIANNE BURGHARDT Mary Varsity Basketball, 2-3-4g Girl Rust-ruvs, 3-4: Glee Club, 3-4: Opt-rrlra, 3-4: Dramatic Club, 4: Year Book, 4. Honor Sludenl. 9 How would you like to have this girl for a nurse? Well, so would everyone else. Mary is best known for her athletic abil- ity on the basketball team as varsity center. She has taken part in other extra-curricular work, too. She was in the Operetta Glee Club, Dramatic Club, and Girl Reserves. Marianne has that elusive quality-glamour. Her past is a dark secret to our plain American students who don't know much about Germany. Since Marianne has the qualities and background that have brought many German actresses to success, maybe instead of car- rying trays to patients, she will be entertaining us on the screen as a second Marlene Dietrich. ETTA CARNEY Et 3 yt-urs ln the Glen' Club: Opermtla Chorus: Drumulic Club: Girl Rrxcruesp Secretary of Ihr Junior Class. 9 Introducing Miss Etta Carney, famous sister of those famous brothers, Our Gil and A'Our Stan. Etta certainly has her ups and downs. but no one in the class has a brighter smile or a more cheery chuckle. She loves to sing and dance. Someday she will give Connie Boswell keen competition, that is, if she ac- quires that southern drawl. If you've been wondering why all the boys are planning to get sick and be sent to Jefferson Hos- pital, it's because Etta has intentions of bein a little irl in I H 2 2 white there. ROBERT CHAMPLIN Bob Football, I-2: Track, --: Inter-class Basltelball, l-2-3. 9 Curly? No name for it! Has more curves than a scenic railway! Of course, we mean Bob's crowning glory. his hair. Bob is a popular fellow, not only with the students but with the teachers and office as well. He spends a lot of time in school. some in the classroom, some in the oflice. some asleep. and quite some in talking to Mr. Carling at 3:10. When once started, he is very ambitious. He knows a bit about mechanics, and will probably work at that trade. When trouble starts Bob's right there, and when there is no trouble. Bob starts some. What-a-man, Bob!

All about the big senior play starring Blanche Cressman. Here is the sweetest girl in the class. Just look at that picture. Of whom does it remind you? Why, of course, Janet Gaynor! Personally she is known as a real worker, a lo- quacious individual, and a great scholastic assistant to her class- mates. She is well known in the circles of the Dramatic Club, Les Memoires Staff and Girl Reserves and contributes her bit to each. It is very seldom that she sits out a dance as she is reputed to be a very light dancer.. You know all good things come in small packages. And here's how!
