Shirley Thompson, Secretary The outstanding star of the girls' gym department is Shirley Thompson. There were a number of competitors, of course, but this little blonde, Shirl , with her live feet, three and one-half inches, is such a Didrikson at all sports that it is hard to believe anyone can beat her. Two semesters ago, Shirley was elected president of the G. A. A., of which she is still president. She was the first girl at Amundsen to receive a school letter. She's a whizz .at basketball and swimming, and knows more about baseball than most girls could ever dream of. And as for dancing, which is her favorite pastime-Shirley is an expert, and can keep pace with the most active instructors. -Besides being good at sports, our class secretary writes a bit of humor here and there. When she came from sevelt. she put in her application to write for the Log , and did it efficient two semesters. Next September this little leader is going to attend Moser Business Col- lege. After that she probably will be some lucnkyibusiness man's secretary. I-Iere's hopin', Shirl. . Dorothy Hedstrom, Treasurer - A real credit to the teaching of our bookkeeping department is Dorothy Hedstrom, our class treasurer, a model of efficiency. - She excels. in many ways: scholastically, athletically, and. of course, mathematically, Her treasurer's books, the system which she devised herself, are such masterpieces that sl'ie has been requested to leave them with the school to establish a precedent for future treasurers. ' Dorothy is one of the most active and best-liked members of the G. A. A., chairman of the Award Committee, and was among the first twenty girls to receive a G. A. A. letter. Dot attended Senn before coming to Amundsen, and since her arrival here has been on the Ace List constantly and has earned a silver honor pin. In the senior rating, Dorothy stands among thefiirst thirty-two, with an average above 90. Her favorite subject is shorthand, through which she hopes to find employment this summer, for she is as yet undecided about attending college next fall. She does know, however, tha she is going to study nursing and her ambition is to become another Florenc If!Nightingale. Alexander Topp, Sergeant-at-Arms Picture a husky brute, six feet in height, 182 pounds in weight, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a pugnacious jaw, and what do you have? None other than Alexander Topp, our sergeant-at-arms. CWe'd better not make any disparaging remarks, or he'll demonstrate his ability as a bouncer .j Topp was one of the most substantial pillars of our football team, and has received two letters as a reward for his labors. He excels in all sorts of games and declares that his favorite pastime is playing pinochle, while his favor- ite form of petrifying the neighbors is tearing around in a little green Ford. Alexander has participated in both the Student Council and Student Forum, and for his favorite subject, professes a preference for English with Miss Ownbey. The study of law at De Paul University sounds attractive to him and that's probably what he'l1 be doing next fall. Jean Foley.
