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

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

RICHARD JOHNSTON Dick Dick was the mechanic-in-chief of the class—that poor scooter of his got taken apart more times than it was ridden. When he wasn’t get- ting greasy hands, he could be found heading for Lysander, or for a meeting of the Canteen commit- tee, or was seen racing down the hails, bound for the Board Room for the Student Council meeting Busy boy, our Dick. LAWRENCE KEEFER Larry” He kept the English class in stitches with his tales of falling down silos and getting carried away on the fenders of strange cars. It's a wonder he’s still with us! But with us he is—as his ac- tions on the Barnyard basketball team proved. We re all so glad that he’s immune to silos and car fenders. ANN KING Klink’’ With her wit and sence of humor, Klink has been an indispensable one. Many a day would have gone by unheeded and forgotten, but for Ann and some crack she had to offer. East Oneida Street has seen a lot of her lately—baby sit- ting, she says. But she's been busy in school, too—volleyball, basket- ball, Triangles, and chorus taking the lead. FRANK KOWALSKI Frank” When looking for Frank, look for reen s9( 0,tcr. flanked by two thers, parked on the four corners and sure enough! There’s Frank.’ One of the Three Motivated usketeers, that scooter is his first thought But he did find time play football and was in the classical dub, too. the KENNETH KRAFFT Mayor” And now we come to the Bil of the ranks; in other words eternal joker of the class. Wit Mayor, we would have sat thr many an uneventful day Who it that could talk back to ' Winchell, and make her lai WT,,1' tha‘ kc'P‘ not wh?.T u but al1 ,he cl''«e FREDERICK LAMSON Fred Fred passed among us unobtrus- ively but left his mark as a hard working, persistent person. He worked hard to graduate, and our only regret is that he won't be on the stage in June to receive his diploma with the entire class. Our best wishes and hopes for your fu- ture go with you, Fred; we all hope that you will always win the rewards you fully deserve. We were proud to have you as a class- mate. 20
