He has turned his vast energy and organizing skill to many fields, including the writing of the class constitution. He has held numerous oflSces on the Crier, and yearbook, and in the class and Dramatic club. Dick has always been a five-major all A student, and this year has set the pace while taking six majors in addition to his work on the Crier, La Campanilla, learning shorthand at night school, and plaj ' ing Dramatic Club leads. Dick is noted also for his loud socks, and for bein? a ?ood fellow. Girls ' A.A.

As vice- president and president of the Dramatic Club, Bette has staged and directed numerous outstanding productions. Most memorable was the Buskin and Quill presentation of The Other Wise Man, which she helped to adapt for the stage, and which she di- rected and lighted. Bette Ijas been a member of the chorus, and her ability as a pianist is well known to all her friends. A typical outdoor girl, Bette has arranged and organ- ized most of the camping trips the class has taken. Page Twenty-

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.

y otleae J iah S chool £LuLlk ' W. Varlch Bettie came into the class in the Tenth Grade, and we often shudder to think what we missed those first years we were without her. That gay smile and the never-ceasing high spirits have kept the class in a good humor when things have looked darkest. She is one of the few people in the class with a really gifted voice, and you can always hear her singing above everyone else on class trips, the only one really in tune and the only one who knows what is being sung. First to get her license and her car, the class has been helped out of many a tight place by her willingness to play the part of chauffeur. ll ' lartjarel Ureelancl If you want the latest joke, or if you ' ve got the joke and want a good listener, go to Peg. She is one of the most jovial members of the class, and with her sense of humor. Peg has made many an otherwise dull occasion seem lively. But this isn ' t her only asset. Three times president of the class, twice student council secretary, make-up editor of the Crier, and a steady member of the honor roll since Ninth Grade are all to her credit. The only person with courage enough to ask Professor Hatch where he got his stories — we ' re proud of her! Girls ' A.A.
