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 .

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.

Joumal, '42g Music Festival. Well, well, look who we have, it's none other than the song bird of the Senior Class. Elsie Travis. After taking a part as a southern gal in our play, Elsie found herself confronted with many prospects for romance. However, some' one has told her to, Remember the lvlainefslf' Elsie makes an ideal partner for anv young man who likes to dance, and Freddie is one of those. Besides being the life of any dull class, Elsie has played basketball with excellence and ambition. Elsie hopes to take a business course at Dayton, and we feel sure she will find success as a business worlcer. Elsie can be seen most regularly riding around in a car.

LUCILLE MARJORIE WHEELUS Oh Fiddle Dee Dee Louise Music Festival, '39g Glee Club, '41 President of Artcraifr Club, '4lg Basketball, '41, '42, Dancing Club, '42. Louise as she is sometimes called by the majority of us Seniors is one of the best square shooters in the Senior Class. She has always a cheery thought. Al:hough Louise is a slow moving crea' ture all you have to do is mention basketball and zoom- -she's off in a flash. Needless to say, she is one of the best and can be depend' cd upon for at least two UQ points in a game. Not many rumors have been heard as to thc opposite sex, but we are sure her trips rn Port Jervis with her pal Shirdy are not in vain. f Who is he, Louise? J This girl is another on the nurses' list and we hope that all her patients will love her as much as we loved her through school.
