He showed his ability to handle any problem that came his way when he played quarterback on the football team. He takes an interest in all sports, and does his best to excell in all he plays. Hudolph was elected President of the Senior Class, and we all agree that a better choice could not have been made. He was chosen as being the most outstanding student in the Social Us -4 Science classes, and he certainly deserves it. ' STELLA WEST Stella, our smallest Senior girl, who is always seen and never heard, is the petite Vice-President of the Senior Class. She plays volleyball and baseball. and is a good uh sport both in games and in social life. She is attractive .,, and knows how to dress to the best advantage to show off her 'Hubba, Hubba' figure. Her clothes are very attractive. just right to go with her personality. Every time you go to the show, you'll have to give that ticket up to a very determined person, our Stella. is 1 A 1 fb o I -X I HAZEL WAGNER Hazel who is President of the Student Council and Editor of the Panther has a full time job on her hands besides her interests as Secretary of the Senior Class, and President of the Glee Club. KWe hear she sings quite welll. She is a Senior girl scout. plays on the volleyball team. first '15 base on the baseball team. and Senior tennis. She is very dependable, can get along with everyone, and is able to make people like her. She was voted the best all around girl by a large majority. On top of all these. Hazel is in the hall of fame for English. There will be a vacant spot in many an office when she leaves Blanco High. L. B. POLLY Here's our quarterback on the football team, he plays good volleyball, baseball, basketball. and is good natured. His jokes are corny, but he can always make someone laugh. they better or L. B. will knock their block off. Oh, yes, his car's name is Metilda the last time we heard, poor thing she sometimes wonders if she is an airplane. L. B. is as 1 .A ,M smart as a whip. but we never see him study. It must just come natural. Take it easy Tubby and you will live longer. 1 r rv.. . 3 -yung., .

He has a good sense of humor, and is friendly toward everyone. He is rather timid. but X overcomes this by being a very outstanding student. N XXX!! EVELYN MC FARLIN Evelyn is a very agreeable person. she has a pleasing personality, and above all she can express her opinion on any subject. She is always willing to lend a helping hand. and can always do the job. Her outstanding help to the Senior class this year is certainly appreciated by all of the Seniors good luck to you, Evelyn. l BESSE MAE MESEHOLE Besse. the pert little scat-about of the Senior class is a constant worker. She will do what she can for anyone at any time. She is always called upon by the teachers to do little odd jobs, and can always meet their demands. She has a serious side, bringing her the credit of the most outstanding student of commercial work. Her quiet manners are observed by everyone. She fits in just any- where, and why not. As her main plan for the future. she xyflfxr 5 L will attend the University of Texas. BILLIE JOE BECK Here's our mischievous Billie. Sometimes you think you could just tear your hair out when he starts pulling those continous pranks, but all in all he is a pretty helpful guy. 2 He works hard at his subjects and manages to make a descent ' grade. But--if he's not borrowing something, he's taking it anyway. To sum it all up, he isn't stopping at High School, he will continue his schooling in Draughon's at San Antonio. , . If ff DGNALD WALLACE 4: H g Donald has not been with us all of this year. but we ., still consider him as one of us. He is quiet. and is well 'i liked by all of the students in High School. He is a brilliant G U t person. and we all wish him the best of luck in the future. 'x , I if if' MELBA MARTIN Dark complexion and pretty black hair. brings us to a rather romantic person, Melba.
