Hall oi Fame RICHARD MANDERA CHOSEN president of his class, Dick has filled the office well. His captivat- ing smile and cheerful spirit won him friends from the meekest Freshie to the most sophisticated Senior. As Band Leader he made a fine appeara-nice at football games. He is a star basketball player and has helped Allegheny win many games. And as for acting ability, his portrayal of father in Mr. Wakefield? Saturday Night, given in one of the Lit programs, won him dis- tinction. He is sometimes known to his friends as Joe E. Brown, or Bing Crosby. Both names are well adapted. The first because of his smile, and the second, his voice. It is always a pleasure to hear him sing. He is a willing helper and an earnest student. He is also a member of the orchestra. Dick will be graduated with honor. MARIE SCOTT UNE of the most popular young ladies in our class is Marie, and a busy one, too. Schooll Notes Editor on. the Wah Hoo staff and Archivest of Boosters Club are not e-asy assignments, but Marie has managed to fill both positions satisfactorily and that of Secretary of the l2A Class as well, and in between times she -acts a.s right-hand-man to Miss Scott. She ranks high in all of her subjects. The l2A class gives a vote of thanks to Marie for her grand coopera- tion during her three years at Allegheny, we know our ticket sale for the Senior Play was greatly aided by her efforts. May she be just as successful in future years. - i J OHN HARTMAN AS A Sophomore John became an active member in the Hi-Y Club, This 'modest blushing lad is always ready to hellp someone in trouble.
