Ralph Clay Kent, the wood knocker, the boy with “too many sweethearts to men¬ tion and “no judgment ; Spiro Cappony, silent, stud¬ ious, and superstitious about black cats; John Paligraph ’41 football co-captain, a booster, and a fine Emersonian; Mary Sharp, who fits the in-a-word description, a-lot-of- fun is very important to the band; Ed Lehocky lost his heart to Deanna Durbin and thinks Bill Mathe is the ideal classmate. 94 3 HALF MOON Everyone at Emerson says “thumbs up on Russell Bailey for ability, personality, and dependability; must be very, very shy because he would tell us nothing about himself and we had an awful time getting him in the picture; Novel Phyllis Banker picks Joan Kerlin as the ideal sophomore girl, likes Friday the thirteenth, and loves to play the piano when it is not filled with saw¬ dust; Jim Swan maintains the Swan name in his own right, one of those strong silent men; Delores Svendson, Dee, turns around once when she sees a black cat, thinks Mildred Zivanovich is the ideal sophomore. Robert Fogle is even more silent than Swan. 944 NEW MOON Wayne McKinney from Lew Wallace, popular and pleasing, started out well by becoming class president; Martin Paligraph, one of the boys who takes water to the football boys, has a high rating with senior girls; Bill Corwin thinks girls are cruel, but he likes Tuesday because of social dancing and it is noticed that he dances with these cruel girls — such suffering; William Bier- nat, capable treasurer for the boys was a regular Yehudi when it came to give us anything about himself; Nan Mack who could easily be a Powers model is so safety¬ conscious that she is superstitious about crossing on the red light. Her friends call her “Saucer.’’
