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.

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-

oLa L c ampani Ha 1940 Aonn vXJehnche Without a doubt, Johnny has been one of the most active and popular members of the class ever since it entered this institution back in ' 34. He has used his excellent qual- ities of leadership as class president for three terms, head of the Senior carnival, and busi- ness manager of La Campanilla, and in each position he has proved worth his weight in gold. John is also a leading exponent of fencing and a talented bass in the Chorus. Many times has the class been grateful to him for his willingness to use his station wagon for errands and trips, and he is famed for the Vermont Maple Syrup from the Wehncke Faraway Farm.
