jfieg caan! Me Cfaaa First Row: Mitchell, Dunham, Cole, Mercer, O'Brien. Second Row: Van Denburg, Tukey, Virkler, Turner A William Cole President, First Half Bruce Dunham President, Second Half L U Mr Guerrero jge girdf your Mara .fgre fAe S arolerif Class Advise: Hmm. So they want a class history, do they? Well, let's see . . . our Freshman year . . . ah, those were the days! Nothing more than Latin I and Iunior Prize Speaking to frighten us then. Leon Brown and Helen Cronkite walked off with the glory and everyone was sure we had the Iohn Barry' more and Katherine Cornell of the future right in the Class of '41. Seems as though we were minus a few people when the Sophomore year rolled around, but 106 was pretty well-filled up with our numbers any- way. That was the year a couple of our girls became cheer-leaders, we struggled with Caesar, and began to come into our own socially. No more banishment from the second floor! The days of upper class superi- ority were not far off, and the arrival of our Iunior year brought on the consciousness that we should have fun, but with a reason- able amount of dignity! After all, think of the example for the Freshmen. As Iuniors we held a riotously successful school party, decorated the gym for Commencement Week, helped the harried Seniors as much as possible, and dreamed of our own com' ing glory. Under the leadership of Bruce Dunham the Iunior year was a success, and nary a cloud dimmed the horizon. Now what? Why, that brings it right up to the Senior year! But it's impossible to tell about our Senior year, it would take up the whole book! Parties! dances, food-sales, essay con- tests, year books, Dowie our valedictorian. and Pricey second to him only . . . why, just our attempts to raise money is a saga in itself. And now, here it is . . . graduation. A lot of us made it, and those who didn't honestly tried . . . which reminds me, there's sill a little trying to do, or those Iuniors will have one more class member.

SHIRLEY ANN ADDINGTON Red You are very welcome hereflt must appear in other ways than words. New to our ranks this year. Shirley has entered into class activities along with the best! Although she hasn't had a chance to shine in B'Ville. we hear that in Utica she sang in the Glee Club, played basketball. and belonged to several clubs! Too bad she didn't arrive sooner! BETTY IEAN ARGENBRIGHT B. I More is thy due than more than all can pay. Take a letter! Yes, Betty is the one who walks away with all the shorthand prizes! And is she effi. cient? Between the times when she was sporting it with the girls, she could be seen rushing around as business manager of the Lyre, and Candy Com- mittee Chairman. P. S.: She's a good cook, too! LLOYD BAKER Pete You've qot to be a football hero - and basketball too! Pete's the one you hear the feminine hearts flutter for, while he scorns but one. Aside from the finer things, Bake's heart turns to baseball in the Spring. WALTER BARTNIKOWSKI Bart Young Lochinvar came out of the West , and he's been seeing action with a football on the line this year! Between trips lrom the ice to the penalty box, he lent his ability to man. age things tor the decoraions at the Woodchopper's Brawl and the Christ. mas Ball. ROBERT BOWERS Buck lt thou dost play with him at any game, thou art sure to lose! One of the mainstzrys of the football and hockey teams last year. Buck looks up from his morning siesta in study hall long enough to turn a little pail t'palej . Will you ever forget him in the Hi.Y play? CHARLES BRAUKIECK Chuck Still water runs deep. Chuck cannot be called Iack.of-all- trades, but he certainly is master ol one-you've guessed it, hockey! He's friendly to everyone. Though he talks little, he says a lot! LEO BROWN Leo Done up brown describes the jobs on the Lyre this year that Leo had cr hand in. After the Senior play, in which Brownie played a part much unlike his real self, he started in with the Senior basketball team and may have been the cause for their viztory this year! WILLIAM COLE Cokie A penny saved is a penny earned. Yes, you've seen a lot of our first president this year, who in the last halt ot the year was busy arguing at Senior meetings, if he was not on the ice playing hockey. Cokie is also noted for his ability to play the sax, and has a mania for food! IOHN COLEMAN lack lack of all trades and master of some. Noted for his smile and peppy man. ner, Iack looked awful nice out there playing I. V. basketball, and had it pretty smooth watching the football games from his special position on the bench. Prominent in journalism and part of the Messenger Stall one year, he also did his pirt in the Lyre ci' culation department. RUTH CONNEHS Conne Her soul storms up in her as quickly as a flame. Ruth might be called the possessor of a liery temper, but in her case it should rightly be overlooked. She plays clarinet in the orchestra, and sings alto in the Glee Club.
