S. nicely sel off by an equally allraclive background, Florence is our candidale lor B'ville's Beauly, Beside her pulchrilude she can adequately Buck any or every obslacle. GLENN THOMPSON The Sonja Henie of lhe Senior Class crealed a mild sensalion lhis winler culling lancy figures on lhe ice in his violenl shirls and purple pork-pie. Pansy is our hardesl working Senior, iuggling class ollices iincluding fhe presidencyl. Prize Speaking, and newspaper work simullaneously. When looking lor poslers for any and every occasion, iusl call Thompie, our lulure commercial designer. ALAN TIMMERMAN Timmy aspires admission lo lhe Lincoln Aeronaulical School. Wonder if he can say lhal in one brealh? lnslead of yielding lo his lwo lavoriles, hockey and swimming, il seems lhal he will conlinue in lhe wake ol his arch enemy, work! DORIS TOWERS Doris's plans for lhe lulure are exlremely simple-iusl resl!

He is apl lo be undecided on many subiecls which include his lulure plans, bul on lhe subiecl ol alarm clocks, he is very delinilel VIOLA WIENKE Yes. you can blame Vi lor all lhe lorlure you endured on Crazy Day. Wasn'l il lun lhough! Our dignilied viceepresidenl loh, how she gigglesl is also a soprano and obligalo, no less, violinisl. GRACE WILSON Yes, il was Grace who used lo wrile lhose cule lealures in lhe Crimson and While. Allhough she is slighlly Tob-biased on some subiecls, she is very open- minded on lhe subiecl ol swimming, roller skaling. and dancing. CAMERON HICKS Cameron was always so dignified lhal we never gol lo know her loo well. How- ever, she was never known lo shirk a duly and could always be counled on lo Turner hand lo help oul. RALPH MILLS On some Sunday allernoon you may see a culler wilh a while horse hilched lo il, and yau'II know lhal Mildew is in lown. He spends mosl of his lime on or wilh horses, buf lhal's no sign he doesn'l gel around lhe hall ol B, H. S. NEIL NEWCOMB Nice one! How do you do il? Yes, Neil iusl rolled one ol his lrick shols and is now lhe envy ol every bowler in high school.
