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

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

REL IEF The Merry Whirl The cause of harmony in the senior class is furthered and abetted by the live melo- dious members of the senior quintet. Har- mony in companionship means McKillip, Smith, and Strand with the infectious giggle of Margaret Laipple thrown in for good measure. With the Red and Blacks editor food is a major interest, but the merits of ping-pong and state leadership appeal to other senior recreationists. Summer and winter gallop hither and yon, hike, drive, picnic, and swim, But wherever they are, CFS social circlers have an innate capacity for enjoying life. v l l l 15
