UNDERLLASSMEN PERSGNALITIES . . The Juniors certainly do not lack interesting personalities. Is any one un- acquainted with Charles Dias, who dumbfounds his classmates with twenty-sylla- ble words? But alas, he is unable to spell those words. Fred Stiffler also deafens everyone with his continual line of chatter. In contrast to Fred is Jack McBroom, who never has a thing to say. Jim Gilchrist, always rattling change in his pock- ets, represents the capital of the class. Nor could we get along without good- natured Jim Keough, although we know he will never stop borrowing someone':21 geometry or English. And who are those two young men writing so diligently? Ah, yes! They are Bill King and Mickey Tepper, writing burning epistles to .1-? But let us not neglect the Big Four, the powers behind the throne-Eleanor Kuntz, Catherine Yealy, Nancy Stifller, and Marjorie Jones, they look at life from the gigglier side of the road. We also have a dreamer, Mary Elizabeth Kolb, who would like to know what the future holds for her. But she is not the sole inhabitant of Dreamland 5 Gale Barnhart, too, dreams of her Chattering One. A Varied are the interests of the Sophomores! Thomas Henry, formerly an active member of our class, is now a bookwormg his favorite author is Emily Post. Detective work may be necessary to decide the cause of Marlynn Clark's sudden interest in school, but she is undoubtedly near a nervous breakdown from attend- ing so many classes this term. Others of our class are going Hollywood. Eleanor Allison, for example, is planning to leave for Hollywood soon to act as Shirley Temple's stand-in. Then, there is Chuck Berkmyer, pining for a contract with M. G. M. to play Tarzan. Furthermore, Bob Sell is practicing his Will Rogers' slouch so that he may follow in the footsteps of that great comedian. We may also boast of an inventor, Hiram Cookg he is now improving his latest, the invisible radio, so that it can be put on the market. Even scavenger hunts are among the interests of our classmates. Five girls -Betty Payne, Marian Strupp, Ruth Beck, Eleanor Crummy, and June Craver are the participants, each with only one object. Betty is to locate the owner of automobile with the license NC720. Marian wants to find a boy by the name of Sampson Qnot Suitcase eitherl. Ruth Beck's eyes are directed toward Derry Township High School. While these three are hunting people, Eleanor Crummy has to find a possumg and June must find her Cote, The Freshmen class passes in review. First is Bill Snoddy, whose amusing antics have made him the clown of the class. After him comes quite an opposite type of boy, Bob Walters, whose female admirers are becoming more numerous every day. Next is Helen Shuster, usually a quiet little girl, but demure Helen becomes a rushing spitfire on the basketball floor. There is Edward Mowry, whose unruly hair causes him endless worry. Before the reviewing stand now is Helen Stifller, followed by a group of devoted young meng but these same young men may soon be driven away by her fiery temper. The parade continues with happy-go-lucky Fritz Yealy, accompanied by our gun-collector and artist, Alex Munroe. Martha Oliver appears on the scene, Martha, very intelligent and active, often surprises one by her conversational ability. Nor can attention be denied Henry Toner, that well-known red-haired boy with the pleasing personality. Last, but not least in this parade of personalities, is Fred Gray, whose huge frame causes him such unnecessary self-consciousness. THE 1937 DERRIAN f26l

This being our first year in high school, we have not, as yet, presented any chapel programs or entertainments. Q We have in our group pupils who are interested in music, and many Freshmen pupils are in the Girls' Chorus and Boys' Chorusg others are in the high school orchestra. Among our boys we have found some very enthusiastic ath- letes. Some of the larger boys played football and, as beginners, did very well. A number of other boys became interested in basketballg some, besides helping their class team, made the Junior Varsity team. Our girls, not wanting to be surpassed by the boys, have started a basketball team of their owng they, however, have not met with as much success as their fellow-classmates, the boys. Although we have not made what could be called a brilliant beginning, we feel sure that, in the three remaining years, we shall have ample opportunity to show what we are capable of doing. 1257
