C oi • J iqlt S cltool C va J uhn Eva came to our class last fall, after hav- ing been in this country for only one year. She immediately made friends with every- body, for her sense of humor is always ready, and if it were not for her accent, one would think she had been with us for years. Her new environment has not in any way harmed her scholastic ability, for in the first semester she established herself among the top members of the class in scholarship, and stayed there. Eva put us all in the shade this year when she won an Honorable Men- tion prize in a national contest for her essay on What Docs American Democracy Mean to Me? iKulh eJUorothti oons Ever since Seventh Grade Ruthie has been unanimously elected to be the chairman of every refreshment committee we have had, and no wonder! If you ' ve ever seen the food that she has made, your mouth would water. And if you looked closely at the clothes she wears, you would notice that they ' re all made by Ruthie, and that is no slam! She is known to swing a pretty mean knitting needle, and her patience in everything is unlimited. Whether it is working at a new suit, or doing the Physics problems, you can be sure that the finished product won ' t have a mistake in it. Dramatic Club ' 3 5, ' 38, ' 39 Girls ' A.A.

Although she did not come to us until the Eighth Grade, she quickly made a place for herself. Chotte is one of those rare people who have no enemies and many friends. In different classes she has made sev- eral speeches on her trips to Europe. Al- though no longer a German student, Chotte can often be seen helping her friends trans- late. She can be counted upon to support any activity, and her efficiency makes her an asset to the class. Chotte is also an acey ping-pong player. Chotte is a perfect girl and a grand sport. oLa ( -« lilt Basketball ' 18, ' 39 Football ' 39 Track ' 39 Dramatic Club ' 3 8 ' 39 Ed shuffled up the hill for the first time three years ago, but during the first lunch hour he quickly established himself as one of the gang. A charter member of the Icicles, Ed dons his Stetson Special, straightens one of his notorious, plaid ties, and breaks the trail to their luncheon nook where he ends his customary silence to en- gage in the Icicle ' s spirited discussions. Among the many distinctions he enjoys is that of being the tallest boy in the class, and he uses this height to advantage on the basketball and football teams at C.H.S. as well as on several local baseball clubs. umpanillci . . . 1940 Page Eighteen

L cirol I licKerion Carol is really one of the most all-around girls in the Class of ' 40. She has proved herself a valuable guard on the basketball squad this year, and also enjoys a turn at ping-pong, volleyball, and bridge. When it came time to give the Senior Bridge, we called on Nicki to be chairman, and we all can agree that it ranks among the most successful ever given in College High. Be- sides having a swell sense of humor, Nicki holds her own with the scholars in the class. We envy the college that will get her for the next four years. oLu K a atnpanillu Girls ' A.A- ' 34, ' 3 5, ' 36, ' 3S Dramatic Club ' 3 8, ' 39 Crier ' 3 8, Headline Editor ' 39 Chorus ' 30 French Club ' 3 8, ' 39 Class Vice-President tiy 1940 Ljiulio I c oniecort o Buck is an enthusiastic baseball fan, and has proven himself a veritable information booth when it comes to professional ball. His own accomplishments are well worth mentioning, for he has been on the basketball squad for three years, and on the football and track teams in his senior year. When he is not competing in some athletic event. Buck turns his talents to the writing of such events, on which he ably employs his extensive vocabu- lary. Other accomplishments are his steady attendance at chorus, and, last but not least, the ability to get a bridge partner to bid the right thing.
