ROLLIN ARY doesn't have much to say, but his name usually comes near the top when the grades are being handed out. He was man- ager of the basketball team and.was a member of the newspaper and annual staffs. Rollin spends his spare time practicing on his electric guitar and he has become an accomplished musician. May you have many years of success in whatever line you follow, Rollin! WANDA POLING has come to Ansonia school for twelve years and has made herself a prominent place 'in our Class of 1941. She has always rated well in scholastic achievement. but she has by no means centered all her efforts on books. She had important parts in both the Junior and Senior plays and was active in all Senior projects, including the Ansonia Messenger and the Oracle , Dependability is her outstanding trait. If Wanda agrees to do a task, it will be done. Luck to you, Wanda! ROBERT STRAIT is another one of the Ag boys who is mighty handy to have around when there is decorating to be done or stage sets to be built. Bob's favorite hobby is riding around in his flivver. He also likes to roam the halls when he isn't occupied in stirring up a batch of muscle-builder or Whisker grower in the chemistry lab. Bob will no doubt be a successful farmer, but could give Bob Hope some stiff competition. BETTY THOMAS's true-blonde hair and dimples make her one of the cutest girls in the class. Her aasy blush also adds to her charm. She has a beautiful singing voice which she has lended to the F. H. A. songs and to the Girls Glee. Tommie is not one to take things too seripusly but she can accomplish much when she ap- plies herself. We wish her much happiness. LAWRENCE GREWE enrolled at Ansonia as a Sophomore and has been a loyal member of our class since that time. Lawrence is a quiet boy and seems to have a knack for staying out of mischief. He is interested in agriculture and has been a member of the F. F. A. for three years. Lawrence plays the violin and was a member of the orchestra. His hobbies are raising rabbits and collecting pen- nies. You are a good boy, Lawrence! Keep up the good work! J OANNE MARTIN is another member of our graduating class who has completed all twelve years in the Ansonia schools. She has taken part in all home economics projects throughout high school. This comely young lady has a quiet, easy-going manner and is always trying to please her associates. She, Iola, and Wanda make quite a threesome. You have our recommendation, Joanne.

JUNE TURNER: They say redheads have a temper, but here is an ex- ception! This was June's first year at Ansonia, but she needed no longer time to endear herself to the hearts of all of us. She took part in many Senior activities and was always ready to give a helping hand. June is well-mannered and likeable, thus she was able to make many friends. May a happy future lay ahead for you, June! LILA HANNA is a little lassie who came to us from North Star High School only last year, but she has indeed become one of us. Lila is the poetess of our class and has contributed much to the school newspaper and annual. Lila is the tiniest member of our class, but quality out- weighs quantity. We are very happy to claim her as a member of our graduating class, and we wish her every success possible. JUNE BROWN is as quiet as a mouse. She is one of the few girls in the Senior class who has a sweet, good-natured disposition. June never says anything to offend anyone. When she is given something to do, she works hard and does her level best at it. We can use lots of girls like June in this world of ours. PAUL NILEY is the boy who knows how to drive a truck. He was a member of the baseball team during the last seasong sometimes he played at second base, but .he was also a good man in the outfield. Paul was also to be seen around when there was a basketball game to be played. He is a quiet sort of fellow, but we like to have him around. MARGARET WENTWORTH possesses about as much natural beauty as any girl around. Her dark, naturally curly hair has brought her many compliments. Margaret is a rather quiet sort of person, but she has a likeable personallity which has won her many chums. We know that the future holds much for Margaret. IOLA THORNHILL, whom We more often call Icke , is a happy-go- lucky talkative blonde whose pet pastime was skipping school until the new laws Went into effect. Iola always manages to mix a little fun into whatever task she has to do. We like to have Iola around because she never lets things get duvll. She also has a reputation for being an excellent pie baker. Take heed, boys!
