Loyal in cverythingu GLENNA ELAINE HOADLEY Glenna was born talthough she doesn't dare ask whyi on March 24, 1926, in Windsor. But she decided she would liketo have D. C. S. as her alma mater and thus she en- tered our fair metropolis. Blondie is :i rather small per- son. being only 5' and weighing 102 pounds, even though she does love to eat, especially nicxtt loaf and escalloped po- tatoes. Blondie also confesses she likes the Navy pretty well and by her actions on the Sr. trip l'd say she likes Guy Lombardo, too.

Despite wild rides on that motorcycle of his, he's managed to survive and gain fame for his muscu- lar ability in football as well as being handy-man of the class. lim thinks we're silly to ask what he likes, for we should all know it's WOMEN--but he added a few extras such as good food and motorcycling iof coursej, Svpencer Tracy, Greer Garson and Candlelight and Wine. His dislikes are greater ln number: snobbish people, politics, music, and cold weather. After majoring in science and math and talking 'airplanes' continually in high school, 1im's ambition to become Caiiain of a T,W.A. Stratoliner seems only natural and fitting. First, however, he plans to work on his father's farm until after the war. 'He has not yet sown all his wild oats BEATRICE IRENE KNOELLER Bea,a native of Deposit, was born December 12, 1928. Majoring in science in high school, she plans to become a laboratory technician after college. Being very quiet and cheerful, Bea is expected to appreciate the finer things and she does, as witnessed by her passion for music, Norman Rockwell paintings, Humphrey Bogart, and Greer Garson. She also likes jolly people, lemon meringue pie, ice cream and slacks falong with the rest of usl. But her 'mind of her own' is evident in that she hates low marks on tests and radio announcers with that simpy voice.

Press Cub i2J, Band MJ, :ludent Council ivice-president and presi- denti, basketball i2--captain ll, football C2--captain ll, baseball 121, and track Q21 are his most outstanding ac- complishments.
