W hz-n Irirh eyes' are .rnzilfl1g. When Dick was a freshman, he noticed that man was gifted with two ears and one mouth. Coming to the conclusion that he should listen twice as much as he speaks, he occupies a position among the quieter QFD boys of the class. He must also be placed among those who manage to glide in about a second before the tardy bell rings. In his marks, he struck a happy medium: and, at times, showed up with a number of testimonials. The road to sueecss is a hard one. But keep smiling. Dickg you'll come out on top. WALTER IOI-IN DZIOKONSKI General Course History Circleg Tau Sigma. A lion among ladies ix Ll rlangrroux Ming.

Peggy is planning to enter the Clinton Hospital 'in February, and we are sure she will be a great success in her chosen profession. Best of everything, Peg, from the Class of '41. 29

He who has knowledge :purer hir wordr. And. to continue, those who spare their words seem to accomplish much. This is especially true of Harpy, As a student, he makes any teacher proudg as an athlete he makes any coach iubilant: as a friend-well why not ask his friends. They'll tell you, and rightly too, that Harpy's good nature and sincerity have made them value his friendship highly. Harpy's been rather reticent about his future plans but, since all of his under- takings in C. H. S, have been successful, we are confident that those of the future will be successful, too.

Glancing at Frances you'd think she was quiet, but ask her friends-or Miss Kerrigan, they'll tell you differently. She's a number one mischief maker. Although at the top scholastically, she still has time for class activities. She is a great outdoor girl and enioys hiking and horseback riding very much. Frances has not yet made up her mind whether she will be a nurse or not, but if she does, we are sure that she will be as great a success at that, as the many other ' things she has done.

Can anyone ever imagine her passing up a good time for an evening of hard study? One can usually take Iosie as an example of what the modern girl is wearing, since she is one of the best dressed girls in our class. Io's popularity is shown by the way the boys crowd around to dance with her at any party. A fellow has to have that privilege engaged ahead of time. There is no one We shall miss more than Io.

Frances is one of the nicest girls of the senior class. Although she seems to be one of its quieter members, all those who know her realize that looks are deceiving. She played a wonderful game of basketball for three years, as a guard. Frances does not burn the midnight oil studying, but manages to have her name appear on the testimonial list every quarter. Her plans for the future are indelfiniteg but, if she shows as much teamwork as she did on our squad, success will surely be hers. 30
