SENIOR AFFAIRS HEROES Follow fhe Leader f'Heroes are born, not made is one adage that by no hook or crook can be ap- plied to CFI-lSeniors of 1939. Obviously. hard work has been the basis for the success in the class. Patty lohnson, editor of 1939's edition of Red and Black. has been, figuratively speaking, a beacon of inspiration through- - ....,... xy Q out her high school career. A combination of pleasant disposition, ready wit, and scholastic accomplishments have won her popularity among CFf'lStudents and fac- ulty. Bob Kadesch. class prexy, climaxed a stellaregime by guiding the class through its most strenuous year. Speaking ability is perhaps his most outstanding characteristic, but diversified Kadesch talent has found outlet as business manager of the annual, workouts on the golf team and basketball squad. research in Science and Rostrum Clubs. Class leader during the junior year, Howard Thompson has sauntered through a career interspersed with athletics and ora- tory. Professor Thompson's eldest son has nurtured the Student Forum into a valuable position as interpreter of the student body, has led Hi-Y to a new achievement record, has climaxed his leadership by receiving an appointment as second alternate to West Point. Star Sporfsmen Iohnny McNabb, termed affectionately Beanie by students and townspeople alike. wins any annual-bestowed laurels for ath- letic prowess. Proof of the pudding lies in his gridiron gamboling, his guidance of the Tiger quintet through a strenuous but suc- cessful cage season, his smashing shots in tennis this spring. Athletically speaking, the class of '39 produced no chumpions or playbores. Wor- thy of the name athlete were Louis Tol- lefson, football captain, and Bob Bigler, pride and joy of every cagenthusiast. The Pen ls Mighfier Robert Skar hitched a wagonload of - :v creativeness to a star composed of an elo- guent voice, gained recognition in debate, oratory, music, dramatics, and science. Nor can mention be omitted of Ieanne Melott in dramatics, Russell Calkins in science, Max Miller in art and journalism, Merrill Brown in golf, and the hosts of de- serving seniors who graduate this spring with flying colors. May these pages of Red and Black re- flect a little of the strong leadership and character of the I939 seniors. They are all heroes. Every student who graduates is a hero or heroine to someone. 13

SENIOR AFFAIRS boys' octet, three earned the coveted major award for gridiron activities, two dribbled on the crack Tiger basketball quintet, three won minor letters on the hardwood, two teed off on the golf team, two racqueteers served on the tennis court, two juniors meg- aphoned as Red and Black Peppers. Progress of this class is further evi- denced in this issue of Red and Black. A glance at these pages reveals the increased participation of the seniors in schoolife for the current year. During the initial conclave in the halls of learning of CFHS, the class of '39 looked to the leadership of Beanie McNabb as president: George Clark serving in the no- ble capacity of vice-president: and Avonelle Baughman, a petite and brown-eyed secre- tary-treasurer. Howard Thompson succeed- ed the diminutive basketball star as Feuhrer, assisted by Merrill Brown, Maxine Rasmus- sen, and Patty johnson as vice-president. secretary and treasurer, respectively. lt was under their leadership that the junioregime climaxed at the annual upperclassmen's ban- quet. Currently, Robert Kadesch has been elevated to the chair, and his cabinet con- sists of Robert Burger as vice-president: secretary, Dorothea Kitchen: treasurer, Margaret A. Camarata. Such leadership should help to explain the ease with which the class captured its many laurels during the brief sojourn in CFS education factory. HALF MILESTONES Enfangled CFS operetta singer, lean Mountains, is displaying her charms for the benefit of Professor E. Nunciation, debater and the- orist extraordinary. Nonetheless, he is unanimously in favor of capable Miss P. Anne lst's company, but her heart belongs to last year's basketball flash. Her time is taken up with rushing to graduate so that they may enter college together. 12 Enfeffered Mr. W. W. H. School, champion wres- tler of Waterloo, Iowa, by all indications has a strangle hold on CFS blond siren, Miss Tootie Iitterbug. Enamoured Miss jeune Fille, recent star of the stage hit Tons of Money, grew up when she swept up her hair for Elmer. The identity of the mysterious Elmer is generally witheld from publication. Miss Punny Punster is of interest, and vice versa to a gentleman who denies any remote family connection with the author of i'The Compleat Angler. Miss Baron, girl athlete, has a hero in the form of T. C. Sportsman, There has been much recent speculation as to which team she roots for. Negative Debater Tom Son has become increasingly aware of a certain Mary Wil- liams. Press correspondents have been un- able to obtain any statement at the present time. Mac Dapper, blond Tiger basketeer, is seen constantly of late with CFS best- dressed debutante, the Campbell soups heiress. Engrossed Romance of the season is that between Slapsie-Maxie Grinder and the brunette liniment heiress who is a sophomore at CFI-IS. E. O. Attic, Ir., ex-senior, patiently drowns his sorrows until his brown-eyed, curly-locked flame graduates. Miss 0, Ferr is the escortee of a Mr. Bell Boy. He is the heir to the film fortune: she smiles divinely, wears tiny hair bows. Has Curly Black, engineer, been retard- ing his high school progress so fashion-plate Miss R. Liss can graduate when he does? This couple is the most consistent twosome in high school life.

LABOR The Circle Senior study moves in circular waves from typing to art to debate to study and back again. One of the main reasons for mental hair-tearing is proper keyboard co- ordination as illustrated by the rapt expres- sion of Senior George Clark. One of the main incentives for window-gazing is the balmy weather and severe cases of spring fever. The gentle art of debating is preva- lent anywhere especially where the senior trio of arguers are present. Qther seniors relax with movie machines, dictionaries, stairway study and the inevitable type- writer, In such a manner, the circle is com- plete: whether it is vicious or not is up to the seniors. 1 I 4
