Samuel Arthur Minghini “Happy am I; from care I’m free! Why aren’t they all contented as me?’’ A likable guy who is always full of fun. Spends most of his spare time at the bowling alley where he is a crack shot at the pins. Although he’s not so big, we are sure Sam will be able to take care of himself when he gets out in the big wide world. Bessie Taylor Marlow “A merry heart goes all day.’’ Tiny and cute with a ready giggle, Bessie loves to tease. She has an answer for everyone and is a good friend. Robert Moore “Laugh, and the world laughs with you.’’ He is full of fun and laughter. In Glee Club, you can hear his deep, bass voice. “Buz’’ does his best in anything he undertakes. Betty Lou Marlowe “She is true to her word, her work, and her friends.’’ Besides being friendly and kind, Betty numbers among her other accomplishments the arts of cooking and sewing. These did not come easily but only after hours of perseverance. Our loss is someone else’s gain. — 21

Marshall Clifton Longerbeam “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.” The best President the class could have picked. Marshall is friendly with everyone. His interests seem to be in horses. He is a wonderful dancer, so never lacks a partner. Alice Jean Lofton “Never idle a moment but thrifty and thoughtful of others.” If you ever needed a friend, Alice would be your choice. She is kind, loyal, sympathetic and will do any- thing for you at any time; just try her! Thomas Vincent McCarty “He is good natured, good-humored and free.” Here is another good basketball player. Tommy has a good time teasing and flirting. He is friendly, cute, and lazy, but ambitious at the same time. Katheryn Louise Marcus “A sweet, attractive kind of grace.” Louise is noted for her pleasant smile and sparkling hair and eyes. She has a loving, gentle disposition and is one of our (ptiet diligent workers who sticks to any task assigned to her. — 20 —

Preston Keith Pitta “Hold the fort! I am coming!” This senior was presented the trophy for being the most valuable football player of ’51. As pitcher on the baseball team, Preston displayed marked ability. His beaming smile and likeable personality have helped win many friends. Barbara Elizabeth Morris “Here is a girl whose greatest delight, Is to play basketball with all her might.” Playing on the basketball team means a lot to Bar- bara and you can see that she does her utmost. Although her temper sometimes flares, it cools just as quickly. She has a hard time making up her mind between boys but maybe a variety is a good thing. Roy Braxton Pyle, Jr. “He laughed and every heart was glad.” R. B. has served as a link between the Annual Staff and the publisher all through our senior year. He has a friendly personality and a laugh all his own. His inte rests lie in the printing profession. The best of luck, R. B. ! Eleanor Roosevelt Myers “To smile and look cheerful, contented and gay.” Another senior good on the basketball floor is Elea- nor. She is always smiling and is gay, fun-loving, and witty. Eleanor has dozens of friends. — 22 —
