ANNE ASHLEY SNYDER Ar ru-'eet and mzzrical A5 brigfaf Apollolr lille. Anne claims the honor this year of having been in the school longer than any of her classmates. She has actually grown up here, and the standards and traditions of Barstow have been im- planted within her. For thorough reliability she has no superior, and because of this fine quality she has been admired and loved by everyone. Her clear voice has made her a great addition to the Glee Club, which under her leadership this spring, presented a most successful operetta. To the Pretenders she has been a worthy member, accepting her responsibilities fairly and willing- ly. Anne will not be around here next year, but the name she has in the school and the remembrance of her fine spirit will always be among us. IEANNE STEVENS A home, 41 lJ0r5e.' Aly kingdom for a home. Although Stevie has been at Barstow only a year, she has made herself known and liked by all. Her quiet dignity and reliability make us proud to call her a Barstow girl. Composure and toler- ance are the two best words to describe Jeanne, for she is almost imperturbable. When we first think of Jeanne we can usually see her in jodhpurs with her horse beside her, for horses are her main love and she rides them to many a victory. Stevie has one ot' the most beautiful voices in the Glee Club, and when she leaves we hope it will be to aim for higher things in the musical world. HELEN TROWER Thom eyer, the break of day, Lightr that do mirlead the morn. Helen's one year as a Barstow Senior has made her one of the best liked girls in the class. She is a fine Glee Club member and keeper of the minutes in that organization and was also one of the much applauded actresses in the operetta. Helen is always full of gaiety and sparkle and she makes a grand classmate, for there is no pomp or glitter about her interest in others. She adds a certain twinkle to the otherwise dull routine of school life.

VIRGINIA SIMPSON Full of the mill? of 1911111411 kiml11e.r.r. Witlm her persistent nature and conscientious ways, Simpy is one of the joys of our class. For almost as long as we can remem- ber her name has been on the honor roll. She also has been one of the star forwards on our basket-ball team for she could stand under the goal and literally roll them in for us. Virginia has been one of the best Pretendersg her try-out was one of the few awarded a Magna Cum Laude. I'm sure that we shall never forget her portrayal of Sneak, the private detective, in the presentation of Two Gentlemen of Sohof, Simpy will always be a source of fun to any group she's in, for her love of good times will be appreciated by all those who come in contact with her. BETTY PAYE SMITH Her mice uvzr ezfer mfr, Gentle, and lozzff au excellefzl firing in 1l'0llldlI,H No one has a better appreciation of athletics than Betty Faye. For this reason she has led the Athletic Association through another successful year. Her willing nature and cooperative spirit have always won her the affection of all her classmates, and have made her a favorite with the underclassmen. Betty Faye's ability as a leader and a manager was brought to light this spring when she so capably presided over the Athletic Banquet. As a member of Pretenders, she has proved herself to be an interested and eager worker, Her calm way of doing things and the serenity with which she meets her problems have been admired by all. It seems to be Betty Faye's optimistic attitude and her thoughtful consideration of all that have put her in such good stead with everyone. DEBORAH SMITH The ham! thai hall? made you fair baffa made yon good. Wlien Deb came back to Barstow last fall after an absence of two years, she fitted right into the class again as if she had never been away. Her adaptable easy-going nature is a joy to those around her, for she is always friendly. Deb's voice is a great addition to the Glee Club and she is a worthy member of Pretenders also. She has the wonderful quality of perfect poise, and always seems at ease no matter what the situation. Deb's charm and grace will carry her a long way and we wish her all the luck in the world.

IEANNE ALDEN VIGEANT She ffm! zmr ever fair and IIEVEI' proml, Hia! IUIIKQIIL' nl will. and ye! war HGFKI' loud. W'hen jeanne came to Barstow in her Freshman year, she knew but a few girls here. It was not long, however, before she had made an active place for herself in the class. jeanne's love of companionship and the keen interest she has in those around her have certainly endeared her to the whole school. Not only is she a favorite with her classmates, but she is one of those rare Seniors who are respected by the underclassmen. When she entered Pre- tenders last year, she entered with a Magna Cum Laude, one of the highest honors given. In dramatics lies her talent, and when she leaves us this spring we know it will be to carry on the splendid work she began as a Pretender. ANN WARD A lzlerrier woman, Wfiflaizz llye limi! of fJ6'l'0l1lflIg wirlh, I never .rpenl an la01n f laik ufiilyalf' Wttrtlie comes to Barstow from Fort Smith, Arkansas. She has been with us only one year, yet everyone knows and loves her already. She is one of our most interesting conversationalists for she is always peppering her talk with funny expressions. She is sympathetic and kind besides, and the Senior class is always going to her with its problems. Ann, we could never get along without, for she livens the school and keeps the whole class merryg we will certainly miss her when she goes. ERNESTINE WITTE Here if 8l'6.'l'j'fZ7f1lg LI4fZ'dlIfdgE'0ll.f lo life. Witli her constant laughter, her carefree and effervescent spirit, Wit is regarded by the whole school with admiration. She does many things, and does them well. She has lent her charm to the Pretenders for these two years since she entered with a Magna Cum Laude try-out. She has worked hard leading the Senior class over many difficulties this last semester and has gained the love and respect of us all. There is always a deep understanding and sympathy beneath her unwavering light-heartedness. She has the infinite capacity to cheer and yet it never seems forced. Surely if Ernestine keeps going with the straightforwardness that she has shown during her four years here nothing can stop her. Jia
