HELEN ACKLE Did you ever see a walking fashion- plate? That's Helen, whose taste in dress any girl might envy, as well as her affable manner, the in- dication of her good nature. TOMMY ALDRIDCE With foreshadowings of a brilliant future as a financier, Tommy has unusual business acumen for one so young. This weapon is camou- flaged with an agreeable smile and operated by an inexhaustible supply of argument. LESTER ALVIS Although he is of a quiet, reserved nature and is totally absorbed in the photographic arts, blond Alvis is very friendly to all whom he meets. BLANCHE ASCHER Bring me my boots and saddle might well be Blanche's theme song, because she is an experienced horsewoman. In addition, there is a natural friendliness about her. MARY ELIZABETH AUSTIN Who could help loving Liz ? She's really a gab-about--vivacious, high-spirited, giddy--and a super dancer. Liz never has a sharp word or unkind glance. We wouldn't have her changed for the world. RICHARD BAGCETT Richard can really beat it out in more ways than one-whether it's tappin' out the Morse code or blowin' out the baritone. In fact, he is so good that he is captain of the band. A glance at Richard's decorations may explain the metal shortage. ANN ADKISSON Tall, graceful, photogenic-a fu- ture Powers Girl! Her friendly smile adds to the charm and beauty of her brown wavy hair and spark- ling brown eyes. Pro: dancing, swimming, and tennis, con: rainy days and homework. Of all people, she has the pet expression, run like a turkey. FRAN K ALLEN This friendly lad is strictly on the musical beam, in fact, he is po- tential competition for Benny Goodman. Quiet and friendly, Toonie is always ready to serve. BOBBY ALDEN This tow-head is lots of fun. Gen- erosity is his keynote. He is long, lean, and lanky and has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. BILLY ATES If altitude counts, Billy is surely tops. This lethargic individual is rarely ever punctual, but we love him anyway. He is really a lady- killer! ELEANOR AYCOCK Twink is on the beam, but def'l She s--woons over Harry James. Her vocation is dancing, avoca- tion, primping. A memory for moron jokes makes her easy com- pany, and her high Southern ac- cent is a delight to hear-in other words, super-duperl JAMES BAILEY This sheet-metal zip, zip, zip with his hair slicked back is a blue-eyed boy whose favorite pastime is danc- ing and whose future time is in the hands of Uncle Sam.
