WILBERT HALEY F.F.A. ’43- ' 46, Sec. ’44-’46 : S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; Softball ’43-’46; Basketball ’45-’46. Precious gems in small packages are found ; Thus we remark w’hen Wilbert comes around.

She is ever soft and gentle in her ways And never lets the clouds darken her days. ELIZABETH JOHNSTON H.E.

Marvin is so witty and full of fun ; Another like him, there’s not a one. He knows more stunts than the clowns e’er do. But beneath his nonsense there’s seriousness, too. Page Nine

Club ’43-’44 ; S.C. A. ’43- ’46; Victory Corps ’43-’44; Softball ’43-’46 ; Vol- leyball ’45 ; V.L.L. Debate ’46. A girl more sweet we ne’er before have known ; Doris is one who can stand on her own.
