JOAN WALWORTI-I GUY WEST STANLEY WHIPPO JAMES WILLIAMS EDITH JOAN WALWORTH Bonefy A business woman at the early age of 18, that'S what Joan is. She made illustrations for Elizabeth Woodward of the Ladies Home Journal during the past year and has had a good many of them published . . . provided the dear stu- dents of Avonwnrth with many clever cracks, jokes and funny actions. We have her to thank for our Youth Lounge, as she was the chief instigator of the plan . . . Beauty, wit, and plenty of personality was the rare cum- hination she possessed. GUY BARNES WEST Ga-ga An explosion . . . falling bricks . . . utter devastation: West was in the lab. Though not an actuality this re- mained a constant threat to Mr. Black. Other attractions in Guy's life consisted of a snappy blue car. Junior girls tone in particularl. and photography. Always on hand when a joke was needed . will probably take up some phase of electricity . . . really on the beam, y'know. STANLEY RAYMOND WHIPPO Whip Big, brawny and breathin' Whip . . . arrived at Avonworth to start his sophomore year with a bang . . . been doing it ever since . . . handled many chapel programs with poise and formality as Master of Ceremonies . . . added a lot to our class with his arguments in history and English and his own brand of humor. JAMES VINCENT WIIJLIAMS, JR. Jimmy Who will forget Jimmy with his red. hair and cheerful per- sonality? Was a member of the football team, and played a hard game. Jimmy had a difficult time settling down to one girl, doing quite a lot of walking with. a blonde in his junior year, but toward' the end of his senior year, a black- haired senior occupied much of his time. Jimmy was a demon driver and was in his glory at the wheel of the Luigi. Is a reservist of the V-5 and we wish him luck.
