KENNETH WILLIAM BINNING Football 3, 4; Class Basketball 4; Band 1, 2, 3; Stamp Club 1; Track 2. Ken” Is one of the noisy fellows of the class. Where you hear noise, you will usually find him in the midst of it. Though he is quite popular with the fair sex. he does not let them get the best of him. He made quite an enviable record on the gridiron last fall, and we hope that he will continue his good work when he leaves school. MILDRED ANN BURGESON Spanish Club 1; Glee Club 3. Mildred is a good natured young girl with a very kindly disposition. She is sweet and unassuming—rare qualities in this modern age. She intends to carry the name of East High out into the world of business. We feel certain that she will keep honour upon that beloved name. MARY LOU CAREY Glee Club 1, 2. 3; Class play Com. 4; Mamzelle Taps 1; Captain Crossbones 2 The entire school is bound to know Mary. She is the one who relieves them of their pet change at lunch time. The school is thinking of starting a feudal system in the Carey family and donating to them the cash register which has been used by every one of the family that has attended East. It is apparent that Mary is deeply interested in a familiar object which is in the halls between classes, and we wonder why there is all this enthusiasm on her part. Mary can be depended upon to do anything which she promises to do and this is a distinguished quality to possess. WILLIAM PETER CARNEY Swimming 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1; Water Polo 3, 4: Basketball 3. This popular young man is well known around the school for his ever smiling countenance. Bill is the captain and the mainstay of our water polo team. He has made a name for East in this sport, and we expect to hear of his athletic prowess after he leaves school. He will remain in the memory of his classmates as a true good-natured son of East. WILLIAM KENNETH CARTER Swimming 1, 2, 3, 4; Swimming Team Mgr. 4; Class Basketball 4. Bill is a member of the swimming team and a dispenser of joy and good feeling around the school. He carries an inimitable smile which seems to be perpetual. His optimistic attitude is very contagious. “Bill' is a great admirer of the fair sex. but, is there anyone who isn’t? 17

We are sure that he will make a good Admiral some day. THELMA BONITA ASPEGREN Spanish Club 1; Class Ring Com. 4; Sunrise Staff 4. Thelma is one of East’s best students.

ALLEN CLINE “Cline of Conneaut”. has been with us only a year but he has indeed made much of this short period. A quiet, reserved, fellow, he has become one of our best friends, and the only concern we have for his future, is our fear that some little lady will interfere with his ambitions. MARIE AGUSTA COOKE Glee Club 1, 2; Captain Crossbones 2; Dramatic Club 1, 2. Quiet, consistent, and dependable, with the added virtue of a ready smile, that is Marie.
