GANG I-IOBART A peace above all earthly digfzitier, A itil! and quiet f07ZJ'Ci67ZL'E.H Calm, capable and good-natured is Gano. Her dignity and integrity have been a great factor in her attainment of the highest honor in the school, that of being President of the Cooperative Council. With a fund of knowledge and a determi- nation that knows neither falter nor defeat, she has won an abundance of friends here at Barstow. Her level-headedness and conscientious attitude have made her a valuable member of both Glee Club and Pretenders. Gano has been a great asset to the school during her four years here and when she leaves she will undoubtedly be bound for greater things. ELIZABETH I-IOUGI-l She bar brown hair, and .rpeakr .flilclll like a 1L'01l1cZ1I.H Huf is one of our most vivacious Seniors. Her quick wit, her love of fun, and her sparkling humor make her a great favorite with everyone, and for her kindness and ready sympathy she is beloved by all. Elizabeth is a very active member of the Pretenders and she livens every play rehearsal with her witty remarks. Her ambition is to become a playwright and we all hope she will succeed in this field because she'd make such an excellent one. Above all Huf is so much fun to be with that Barstow will be truly sorry to lose her and will not soon forget its bright, energetic Elizabeth. SUE IGI-INSTON Merrily, merrily fha!! I live. lf you hear someone singing the latest song hit and dancing through the upper hall, you'll know it's Susie. She can name every orchestra and leader in the world. Her musical talent extends into even further realms for she steered the Glee Club through the first semester and very well, too. Much of the success of the junior-Senior Prom lay her way also, for she patiently and expertly directed the decorating committee. Her natural executive ability and independence have made her a favorite with all and when she leaves Barstow, a girl who has enthusiasm and ambition will have gone, but only to add to another group as much as she had added to this one.

BETSEY GRANT She ir 4 great 0bJefz'er, and .rlve lanky Quilt' flvmzrgfa lhe deedr of men. Wfhenever there's work to be done, a game to be won, or fun to be had, Bitta is there to lend a hand. No girl in the Senior class is a more willing friend. In the Pretenders, on the Senior basket-ball team, and in her classes Bitta's cheery dispo- sition is an addition in all that we do. Barstow knows and appreciates the spirit and cooperation that Betsey gives, and the Senior class is proud of her. HELEN HAWES I dare do all fha! may heroine 41 1l'0lll111I.' ll lm rltzzw do more if none. Hawsie is one of the Seniors who has climbed high on our ladder of achievement. She is Vice-President of the Glee Club and we expect much of her outstanding musical ability. Her talents are widespread, for she is also an active member of the Pretenders. In athletics Helen shines. She is one of our speediest runners and is Barstow's ping-pong champion, which title she holds with a firm hand. Every year for three years she has won our annual contest-the years before that there was no contest or Hawsie would have won it. Amid other things, Helen has a grand sense of humor and her laughter is often heard ringing down the halls. Her everlasting pep and merriment are so contagious that she keeps the girls around her in constant glee. MARIORIE HEWITT Hllvhal .rfalnre ir .the of? fm! ar high ar my head. Never was there a girl who could concentrate amidst the flurry and excitement of classes and study halls like Margie. She is never upset by the noise and bustle about her. Margie is the calming influence on our turbulent group. Her unselfishness and quiet cooperation have been a great asset to the class. But she can be fun, too. When she laughs her whole self laughs, espe- cially her eyes. We'll all remember her for her splendid charac- terization in the play 'Mushrooms Coming Up. She stole the show and had the whole house in an uproar. Knowing her this short year has made us realize that we missed a really fine person by not having her sooner.

DIANA NUTTER Vilma if bold, and gfl0Lfl?6'.fJ' Newer fearful, Always a student, always a friend, Diana is one who unites beauty with alertness of mind. Although one of the younger members of the group, she has been a part of the Barstow spirit, having a real interest in the affairs of the school and the class. Diana has that rare quality about her of being extremely under- standing. She has a peculiarly sympathetic nature and an honest consideration for her classmates. Witli a sense of humor like Di's and her thoughtfulness towards all, she will go far and make even more friends than she has at Barstow. PATSY PEABODY Tlm.re afmnt her llffllll lm' .rimll read Ike perfec! zmyi' of hU!!UI',H Wfhere solid persistency and straightforwardness will win, Pat will win. She is one who thinks much and talks littleg yet her presence is always felt. Wlietlier in class or while playing. Pat is usually the one to come forth with some subtle pun that puts everyone in gales of laughter. Her sincerity and frankness are certainly admirable qualities and are much respected by the whole class, Her outstanding achievement is art, which she is capable of expressing in many forms. We all hope that you will go on and do something with it, Pat- --you can do grand things. NANCY POTEET 'Vlmf .flue if fair, and, fairer llmu lim! zmnf, Of 1z'n1m'1'r111,i' I'fl'lllC'.f,H Nance is one of those rare persons who leads the class both scholastically and in its many activities. Every time the honor roll is read she heads the list. It seems to be a habit with her. Maybe she studies when we're not looking. Besides scholastic standing, Nance also rates high in athletics for as a forward she was invaluable on the basket-ball team. There seems to be no end ro Nancy's abilities for she also has done a splendid job helping put the Weather-Cock to press this year. Her spirit in all she does will certainly lead her to greater things, but we hope she will never soar out of our sight.
