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.

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.

She is always ready to take over, and make a thorough job of anything. Besides being president of Le Cercle Francais, and carrying five majors, El finds time to compose a song or two on the piano in her spare time (though we haven ' t found out where she finds it yet) . El has been one of the most athletic girls in the class since the Seventh Grade. This year El took over cheer-leading, and it was largely through her efforts that we had any cheering at the games at all. I lancu ti y Who is It that starts those snappy sayings you hear circulating through College High? None other than Stevie, one of the smallest and best liked members of the Class of ' 40. Besides having the distinction of being the only redhead (?) in the class, Stevie is one of the stars on the girls ' hockey and basket- ball teams. A steady member of the A.A. since Seventh Grade, she can show you a string of stars and stripes on her gym shorts. Proud possessor of a personally autographed copy of Ferdinand the Bull, Stevie hopes to write herself some day, and she has already had a story considered for publication.
