BERTHA AND KATHERINE RAK Until the students had become well acquainted, many of Bertha's and Katherine's 'classmates were complaining of double vision. To increase the confusion, these two girls always dress alike. Both girls have been making their own clothes for six years. Their interest in home economics makes them active members of the 4-H club. Many students re- member the delicious sandwiches and salads made by the twins at the cafeteria. When not busy with home economics, Bertha and Katherine can often be seen bicycle-riding in South Amherst or rolling spares at Paigeis Bowling Alley. To make use of their training and experience, the girls are planning to become dressmakers. Their motto, Double or Nothing . Twenty-Eight T H E G 0 L D B U G

CLARENCE ROSE Clarence, better known as Bud , is another gift to Amherst High School from a Sunderland farm. In the classroom he has appeared usually as the quiet, mild, and steady type. Nevertheless a love of horseplay has occasionally brought him into scrapes. Bud has been a messenger and general handy man around the office, and a pal of Mitch and the boys. GEORGE SANCTUARY . look, up in the sky! lt's 11 bird! lt's Ll -plane! lt's George Sanctuary! Amherst High students might shout, for George is the class aviator, which might explain the fact that his head is in the clouds through most of his classes. George is equally prominent as an artist and a permanent inhabitant of the detention room. KENNETH SHAMPO Ken', is known to most students as the boy who for the past several years has been punching Student Association cards and collecting tickets at dancing class and basketball games. Throughout his four years, he has taken shop courses. As the Gold Bug goes to press, Ken,' is about to join the ranks of '43 boys in the service. MARION SHUMWAY Whether because of the 'attractions of South Amherst, or just because of a yearning for horseback riding, Marion sees very little of school. Arriving for a class or two, she passes the hours drawing pictures. When that far-away look creeps into her eye, every one knows she is dreaming of an organ. Thirty THE GOLD BUG
