tMAx Carrier Max can be greatly admired for he is one of those people whose senior year had been a matter of school, work, and sleep.

Robert J. Evans Bob is a very active member of this year’s senior class. In fact, there was hardly any activity in which Bob did not participate. He was treasurer of Hi-Y, Kditor of the school paper for a semester, and trainer of various athletic teams, only to mention a few. His interest in Science will probably take him far in the held of Chemistry. Ann Marie Ferraro Ann is the reliable president of her home room and vice president of Tri-Hi-Y. She is also a member of Tru-Blu and Girls’ Special Chorus and an ardent worker on the features committee for the Yearbook. ’Her classmates wish her the best of luck in her future training and nursing career. Doris M. Ford Louise Grant We wonder where Louise got the nickname “Squeeze me.” She was often seen running frantically around B. II. S. getting pictures for the yearbook. Her energy as chairman of the Snapshot Committee really produced results. Upon completion of the high school Commercial Course, Louise wants to become a secretary. Portia Gayley Portia is a tall, dark-haired girl who is very quiet. Her shyness, however, does not keep her from participating in various school activities.

Her hobby is collecting programs from musicals and plays. Helen Hagerty One bright October morning a few years ago a little girl, now popularly called Helen, woke and smiled. That winsome smile has been making others happy ever since. Passing her in the halls, we would guess Helen to be quiet and reserved, but, to those who know her best, she is very merry. We are interested in her future carrer, and wish her success and happiness. Leora F. Harriff Leora is a very unusual girl. Her hobbies are many, such as: drawing and painting; writing short stories and poetry; and hiking. Her favorite subjects are Speech, English and Art. Leora wants to devote her life to missionary work. After graduation she plans to attend the Intercession City Biblical College, Intercession, Florida. Caryl Haugh Caryl has the ability to be entertaining in a quaint way all her own. Through the years she has grown in wisdom and charm but little in stature. Caryl’s most marked characteristic is her extreme fondness of food. When you hear the remark, When do we eat?” you may be assured Caryl is nigh. In all seriousness, she is a wonderful person and deserves to succeed in whatever she does. Doris participates in many school activities, as we can tell by the following list of activities: French Club, National Junior Honor Society, Tri-Hi-Y, Echo Staff, and Chorus. Her only hobby is listening to the radio, and her favorite class is French. Doris is taking the Academic Course, and after graduation she plans to be a telephone operator.
