MATTHEW VARNOT “Matt” “Matt” will always be remembered for his abso- lute optimism and spontaneous laughter. His good- heartedness and cheerful mannerisms made him an asset to the Senior Class and an aid in all tasks under- taken. “Matt” will be remembered for his ambition in working. His job in Beard’s Garage and any school task were all undertaken with the same fervor. His black Dodge, (now a tan-grey Pontiac) undoubtedly was the school’s taxi and “Matt” the willing errand runner. To Matt, the Senior Class owes appreciation and will remember his thoughtful ways. Senior Play 4, Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Inking 3. ALVIN WYMAN “Al” Whenever you see a flashy tie or brilliant eye- catching socks you need not look at the face to know that Alvin is approaching. As Don Juan in the commercial “girl” course, he has a gift for provoking laughter and a keen witticism which provides many grins and guffaws for all. His future plans are as yet unformulated, but his commercial work and ability will provide him with a future vocation.

GORDON YOUNG “Porky” By his likeable manner and shy smile, Gordon has achieved many friends who admire his sense of humor and pleasant disposition. Gordon, one of the mechanical experts of our class, will be remembered for his skill as “sound effects” man in our Senior Play. Besides his great mechanical ability, Gordon is a member of the Glee Club, which wouldn’t be complete without the timbre of his bass voice. Gordon is aiming for the interesting vocation of electrical welding. We wish him good luck and best of success. Track 4, Senior Play 4, Glee Club 4. 13
