O H H O0 {H H 0 h000 KH aCK 0O0 O0000a0 ?0 H 0 K CH H 0 K O0 H H HK Ja en from the 1950 issue of 'feople in the | Iew$' Among the foremost people in the world today, are the 14 Seniors who gradu- ated from High School in the spring of 19 40. They have won world-wide renown in the difficult tasks they have undertaken. You all remember that chemically-minded student, don’t you? Well. Murl Poffenberger is now' a second Louis Pasteur in a chemical Lab., in New' York City. He has done much for humanity in the way of relieving their pocketbooks. when it comes to buying Anti-Freeze. He has perfected one that is so cheap that no more V-8’s of the late ‘30 and early ‘4 0 models freeze up in the winter. (They were cold, you know). Hetty Williams, the girl who w'as going to be a nurse, got a fine start in the Emergency Hospital, located at the corner of Second and Greenville Avenue. At the tlrst operation she attended, she fainted when the first slash was made, and it took a very good looking interne a whole hour to bring her out of It.

Well, he is now a part of the great pla.it that produces the “finest candy that was ever built , according to him. H « is offi- cial taster, he ought to know. Glenn Ray. that famed high school athlete, has taken up coaching because of his former abilities, and success. He has been at Purdue and Yale for seven years altogether. He has had four U. S. champion teams. Three have entered he Olympics and have been acclaimed the best “Hog-Calling“ teams in the wor’il. Jimmy Hicks, who was never known to be awake in class and always out of school for some reason, is now w ll Icnow’n for his fishing ability.
