YVONNE DUGER Vonnie Where would the Journalism Club have been without her? Editor, Feature Editor, and treasurer’s posts have claimed her as well as band. Those drums haven’t been as loud since she left. While not drumming away on all those activ- ities, basketball and volleyball saw a lot of her. BETTY DUNHAM Betty” One of our more quiet Seniors, (there are a few), Betty will be the perfect secretary. Any office should to proud to have her on its staff. Basketball and volleyball saw the most of her during school. RUTH ELLITHORPE Pat A newcomer from Buffalo last fall, Ruth has made a spot for herself among the Seniors. Her wit and sense of humor, not to mention her argumentative powers, have bright- ened up many a dull day and dull class. Buffalo's sports must have missed her, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, and swimming teams in particular. alan hORSSELL Fog The force of his own merit makes his way, and that sums it up in one statement. Yes, he’s another of our brains and active one at that. Band, Explorer scouts and dance band have filled up his spare mo- ments. kalPH GATES Pearly Pearly is the last of the Gat that we hate to say. Last 1 least, by any means. He’s very active member of ou — chorus, basketball; int Hi-Y, and the Senior play the lead. Besides that, he i the Junior class with great ; ROBERT GERMAIN Bob Don’t let that dreamy, faraway look fool you—he’s undoubtedly hatching some fiendish scheme with which to bother not only his teachers but some poor unsuspect- ing female. In his off moments, he found time to play basketball, baseball, and vice prexied the Hi-Y. 18

 • WILLIAM COOPER ’Bill” Another one of those 3rd ward- ers” Bill really knows how to liven things up. There's never a dull moment when Bill’s there. He was one of the best committee workers we had, and Lyre staff would have been lost without him aiding with the sale of the advertising. MARY CURRIE Mary” Another of our class brains, Mary has added a cheerful note to the old home-room. Hear that? That was her hearty laugh—you can’t help but grin when you hear it. Red Cross and girls' sports took up her spare time, and Tri-Y, too. FREDERICK CURRIER Fred” That new coupe that Fred’s driving has become a landmark—when you see it coming, run! Fred did a lot for the class; he took part in the Junior play, Interclass, Prize Speaking and Demolay. Always a willing worker, Fred's future looks bright. KENNETH DEITZ ' Ken Our voung man with a horn; Ken can be heard at most any time of day, practicing, he says. School will never be the same without his ac- companiment to French lessons, homework and Latin verbs. JOHN DELANEY Honest John Ah, yes. And now, we come to Honest John. There’s a lot to be said for him—the Seniors did a good job when they voted him the best apple-polisher; he’s got all the kids wrapped around his little finger. Student Council owes him its greatest thanks, and we'll miss that big grin and those jokes in assembly. Baseball and chorus will miss him, too. EMMETT DeVAUL Shorty I’ve heard that Emmett is quite an authority on First Aid—could that be Sea Scout training? Wonder who he practices on? Norma? Barnyard, band and chorus have kept him busy, on the side. 17

RUTH GRUBER Reggie Here’s the gal we envy — who wouldn't like to go to Europe? She's also the gal to run to when your homework gets tough. Be- sides keeping the Student Council minutes in order, she boosted bas- ketball, Senior chorus, Lyre Staff, Red Cross and the Junior and Sen- ior plays. WARD HAMMOND Red Ward can be talkative when the occasion arises; but you wouldn't believe it to look at him. He can make noise on a clarinet, that’s for sure; he can do some yelling on the baseball field, too. VIRGINIA HARTWELL Ginny Another living proof that big tilings come in small packages. She may be small, but, boy!! Can she set studyhall on its ear. She can sing, too, as her four years in chorus proves. Journalism and dance band took up what time was left after she watched baseball practice. ARTHUR HELMBOLD Art KATHERINE HIGGINS Kate” MYRON HOWARD Pick and Shovel That horse laugh you just heard coming from the back of Room 2 was undoubtedly coming from A. Helmbold, connoiseur of wine and women. And how! When he’s not letting off steam verbally, he can be seen showing some poor girl the latest dance step—usually one that he, and only he, can fol- low. Poor little Kate. She’s the one that always gets heckled—but evidently she can give as well as take. She deserves a service medal for her loyalty to the band—8 years of it —that’s loyalty if there ever was any. How will they ever get along without her? Myron has passed among us, his presence always noticed, but a more quiet member of our ranks. He was always on hand if you needed him, and that’s what counts. 19
