CLEMENT C. SLOCUM, JR. Just a minute Clem Dalton High School Band, '39, '40, Glee Club, '39, Matamoras High School Band, '40, '41, '42, Basketball, '40, '41, '42, Casts of The Curse of the Crystal Ball,' 41, That Crazy Smith Family, '41, A. A. Member, Dancing Club, '41, '42. With the toot, toot of a whistle, we in' troduce Clem QLoverj Slocum, Dalton High Scl1ool's gift to the girls of Matamoras High School. A whistle is a 'fair instrument to use as an introduction to this young fellow, for Clem is by no means slow, and he's in on everything. He plays a trumpet in the High School Band, is on the varsity basketball team, and has shown his dramatic ability in That Crazy Smith Family and The Curse of the Crystal Ball. We frequently UQ see Clem spinning along in the car with the wheels turned to- ward a road known to the people of Mata' nioras as Heater's Hill. If at any time you need information about the state of Virginia Qlvlortonj just ask Clem. After graduation, Clem is leaving Mata, moras, but he is leaving physically only, for his heart belongs to M. H. S.-mostly CootsI Because we know a good sport goes welll anywhere, we know that you will find as many friends in Ithaca as you have 'found here, Clcm. JOHN J. STRUNK uHis7 GtGr0vsv Casts of Professor, How Could You '40, The Curse of the Crystal Ball '41, Soc- cer, '39, '40, Captain, '41, Assistant Man- ager, Year Book, Vice President, '38, '39, '41, President, '40. The crowd is tense as a bit of nip and play takes place on the Soccer field. Then Captain Strunk works toward the ball, gives it a skillful kick, and-a goal for Mata' moras! johnny is a valuable Soccer player, as well as a valuable member of our class. A handsome fellow with good manners and an admirable taste in clothes, Grover, as he is sometimes called, is pleasing to the fair sex. He has always picked his girls from Port Jervis, but recently we learned that a certain Senior girl holds a place in his heart, Although the teachers think that he is slightly lazy when it comes to homework, john has proved that he is just the opposite in class activities by taking the leading part in 'two plays and selling more than his share of ads for our yearbook. He also took his work in various offices seriously enough to do a good job. Johnny has expresed a desire to be of service to Uncle Sam after graduation. Vifell, one of his ancestors was an officer on Ad' tuck miral Nelson's ship so we think that johnny will also be valuable to his country.

EDWARD FRANCIS SCHROEDER W'hat'd ja say Eddie Secretary and Treasurer of Dominoes Club, '40, Sportsman Club, '41, Dancing IClub, '42, Soccer, '42, Basketball, '39, '40, '41, '42, Business Manager Class, '42. From court and field come grunts and groans, players go down but one stays up. That is our Ed Schroeder taking the bumps and bruises and giving them right back. An allfround athlete is what you'd call him, inter- ested in every sport. Soccer, baseball, basket' ball, football, all have been mastered by Ed. When there are tickets to be sold, Eddie is right there to get his share, and you can be sure he will not let you down by selling only a few or none at allAand getting rid of a box of Senior candy is elementary. Ed isn't a slouch when it comes to the fairer sex either. We don't know who his lavorite is, but we feel sure there is someone who has found her way into his heartgthat is if all of those letters from Susquehanna mean anything. When it comes time for Ed to go out in the world, the world will be waiting and will give Eddie the break he deserves. VIRGINIA SCI-IUMACHER Oh Yeah! Gin Assistant Girls' Basketball Manager '40, '41g Girls' Basketball Manager, '41, '42, Casts of Professor, How Could You '40. That Crazy Smith Family '41, The Curse of the Crystal Ball '42g Dancing '41, '42. Would you like to meet the glamour girl of the Senior Class? Then we will introduce you to Virginia. Her blonde tresses have cap- tured many a heart. At present, Gin is rather up a tree as to which of her captives she likes best. Well, they're all 0. K. So let your heart be judge. Gin's only unglamorous trait is gig' gling, but glamorous or not, it wouldn't be Gin if she couldn't giggle. She did her bit for sports by efficiently managing the Girls' Basketball team. Willingly taking part in all our plays showed Virginiais cooperative spirit and also her ability as an actress. Gin has one failing, a quick temper, but she cools off just as quickly as she becomes angry so we can forgive her. After graduation, Gin expects to become a dietitian. Here's hoping you can remember all those vitamins. - - , s as his fa ea seg xx 2 EE 1 tk V . x AQEH ,Wa ,,,. A 5 ,gl If .2 'iii' - ea ', ' 1 Q5 ' e , .-' i--LF ff , ,.::- gg ,:-,--- :ai f A ., tl ,.

JANE MELVA TAYNTON For crying out loud Taynton Cast of Professor, How Could You '40, Class Treasurer, '41, '42, Secretary and Treasurer of Dancing Club, '42, Secretary of A. A. '42, Editor of Journal, '42, Edi- tor of Yearbook, '42, Music Club, '40, Dancing Club, '41, '42, Music Festival, LCast of The Curse of the Crystal Ball '42. Jane is our best loved Senior, and also our busiest. Besides being an honor student and an officer of every organization to which she belongs, Taynton is Editor of the Delaware, the M. H. S. Journal, and is Mr. Clark's sec' retary. Furthermore, she handles every job with thoroughness and efficiency. jane's mind may be with us, but her heart has moved to Connecticut with Keith. She can often be heard singing, Miss You , much to the despair of a certain Senior boy. In Professor, How Could You and The Curse of the Crystal Ball, Jane showed that acting is not the least of her accomplishments. We and the audience thought she was swell. With all her experience we know that Iane's ambition to be a secretary will surely be fulfilled. Even without it, her pleasing personality would carry her to success. CATHERINE MARY TINSMAN Chl Cut it out! Kate Glee Club, '39, '40, 41, Music Club, '42, Dancing Club, '41, Music Festival, Staff of Journal, '42. Catherine may be the smallest member of our class, but 'she is far from being the baby. Her scholastic standing is high even though she has less time for school work than the rest 0'f us. L Catherine always does her part in extraf curricular activities too. She proves the old saying, Small but mighty. She has run up her score on selling tickets and candy. Although Kate hasn't acted in any of our plays, she has been on hand as wardrobe mistress at every one, helping the plays to go over in a big way. We think that Catherine is also a mis- tress of someone's heart. How about Ia? lt is rumored that Catherine is headed for the altar after graduation. We have not the least doubt but that Catherine will make an excel' lent wife. ' 9' 'V ' lg To 5 ,Q ' 'X X 1 , . 55 .M 5 -was 5 C 2' 45 ' 57 5' 'L .
