Alice Allen Alice’s quietness in class shows her calm, peaceable disposition, but it hides a grand accompaniment—genuine friendliness. A happy expression and welcoming smile have assured her popularity. To say that Mr. Cardinal ohose her as his secretary speaks well for her efficiency.

William Berce - Willie We shall never forget Willie in Chemistry Lab. During his Senior year Bill was the cause of much anxiety (on our part) by his disregarding the law of self-preservation. However, if his future profession is not connected with a lab., we are confident that he will attain success and live to a ripe old age.

Known for their keen athletic ability, Joan is no exception. Joan s deftness has added to many victories for our class in girls' inter-class sports. To most of the class, she is a shy, quiet girl. We are told however, that she has a sense of humor. Dependability and hard work add to her success.

Maybe she's just bashful. That shyness didn't keep her from making a name for herself in basketball, however. That she is a whiz at it is disputed by few. With those little fly-away bows in her brown curls and an engaging grin, she's danced her blithe way through four busy years.
