KOI)ERIC DIXON. Rod seems to find the ground un- interesting, but aspires to higher things, such as air- planes. He likes model airplanes and basketball. This is one case where a hobby might develop into an occu- pation. He wants to become an aeronautical engineer. His activities include KL?UB, Hi-Y, and Choral Club. HELEN KIMBLE. Helen has a most unique favorite name—“Oscar.” Cute isn’t he—it? As for working after she finishes school, she would like to be a secre- tary. An exciting game of football is pleasurable to her taste in a good sport. In her activities. Student Government 1939-40 was included. DOROTHY CURTIS. “Dottie” likes an unusual boy’s name.

Hi-Y, Student Government, Maple Leaves, Choral Club, and all State l his many activities. AGNES TCHINSKI. Tall, studious, “Aggie” wants to belong to the group that are to be secretaries. “Rich- ard” is her favorite name and maybe that would have something to do with her liking for reading and bad- minton. She belongs to the Girl.;’ Athletic Club. JAMES PIZ ATELLA. “Buck” is a promising Junior student. His ambition is to become a very good private secretary.

He was a member of the Maple Leaves Staff this year. DALE THOMPSON. “Mink,” one of our tall Juniors, is out for a career ir. engineering. Maybe a beginning in that field is bis hobby of airptanc modeling. His favorite sport is lootball. The activities to which he belongs are Military Science Club, KL?UB, and Dancing. ALICE VIRGINIA COLE. “Ginny” plans to be the first woman dictator and I believe she has taken a hard task upon herself (don’t you?). Letter writing is her hobby and “Bud” her favorite boy’s name. I wonder if there is any connection between the two. Dancing, Bridge, and Motion Picture Crew include her activi- ties. BETTY PEN DERG AST. “Bet,” a Student Government representative, for some reason unknown to us likes “Jimmy.” Jimmy is such a common name, it’s some- times hard to make out just who is meant. He might play basketball for that is her favorite sport. She hopes to become a secretary. MARY’ JEAN CONNOR. “Jeanie’s” favorite boy’s name is Kenny and we can now well understand why her hobby is attending basketball and football games. We feel sure she will make a very pretty and efficient secretary, which is her ambition. Mary Jean’s activi- ties include the Dancing Class and Dramatics Club. JOHN WILLIAM GILL. John is well known about school as “Bill.” How he loves to pound the drums!—or listen to them at a thrilling game of football. He strives to become a doctor.

BARBARA BERRY. Junior Queen “Babs’ agrees that “Rhet” is o. k. A girl after Scarlet’s own heart, Babs likes to dance. Swimming under water and traveling are also included in her store of pleasant pastimes. She is a band sponsor and a Choral Club member and was in the Junior play this yeajy £ FREEMAN. Bama hails from the south, youyrfgree that Ire is a friend to all? When it comes to bridge playing he is a “whizzer.” His ambition is to become a real good dancer. Good luck! Football, Baseball, Bridge Club, and President of Group in- clude his whirl of activities. i. Don t RICHARD MARTZ. Dick is a regular sportsman. His favorite sport is football; and his ambition is to be a sports reporter. We take it that Joan must be rather sports-minded, too. He is a member of the KL?UB, Hi Life Staff, and Military Science Club. VIRGINIA CALDWELL “GVnny ’ is one of our most popular ladies, although she seems to take special pride in “Ken.” We take it that she goes dancing and swimming with him, for they are also among his favorites. Her ambition is to be a stenographer and a bookkeeper. MARTIN KERCHELICH. Martin spends much of his school time preparing to be an aeronautical engineer. Sports in general are his hobby. To take a walk accompanied by a shot gun and a hunting dog is only one of his many leisure time activities. Martin played the title role, “Old Doc,” in the Junior play this year. MARY ELEANOR COLARUSSO. Although dark-eyed Bary’s hobby is reading, for something a little more exciting, she likes the “pig-skin parade.” A snowy graduate nurse’s cap on her pretty dark hair is what she is striving for. If Dan doesn’t interfere first. Student Government and Maple Leaves comprise her activities. ANN ELY. Ann, widely known as “Pennie,” rather likes the name, “Mike.” From her hobby, which is collect- ing dolls, she might get ideas for her work in the future—which is to be dress designing. Among other things, she likes swimming and riding. MARVIN ROBINSON. Marvin's nickname is “Pete’ although he doesn’t go by it very often. His hobbies are playing drums and reading. He has a very unique ambition and also gives away the name of the political party which he favors, for he wants to be Vice- President on the Republican side. His favorite sports are football and baseball. He belongs to Dancing and Hi-Y Clubs. DUANE MERRIFIELD. A man of many names is Brickie,” “Doodle,” and “Red.” This is the way in which he keeps Nancy Lee from forgetting him, if she can’t remember one name she recalls another. He collects photographs and likes football. To be a clerk is his ambition. GEORGE McDOUGAL. “Red ’ is another young man looking forward to aviation. His hobby is drawing. We wonder if anything has occurred to make him think the air in safer than the ground. Maybe Mary could tell us. Football is his favorite sport. MARY FAYNE ACKER. “Two Gun” will make a very attractive model, which is her ambition. She loves horseback riding, swimming, and she is considered a very good dancer. She adores the name of Archibald. Her activities include Choral Club and Bridge Club. MARY FRANCES KNIGHT. Mary Prances is a very genial student and she is popular among her friends. Roger ranks among the highest names on her boys list and we believe she prefers swimming as a sport, although she participates in many. Motion Picture and Bridge Club include h?r activities.

Although he hasn’t said so, we are inclined to think that Ken’s favorite pastime is walking —with Virginia. Above other things, this serious-minded young chap wants to be a surgeon. At present, his most enjoyable sport is basketball. MARY LOUISE STEWART. “Lou” won’t give her favorite name. Saving post cards and swimming are her fa- vorite pastimes. Being an advertiser in a large store is her ambition. I'ancing Club, Girls’ Athletic. Band, and French Club were her activities. HARRY EDISON. From a long list of friends, curley-headed “Bob” chooses “Martha” as his most cherished one. Sorry it isn’t you, girls! Photography is his hobby. Baseball, too, ranks tops in his list of favorites. A prospective aeronautical engineer, he has busied himself with the Stamp and Dancing Clubs. 1 1 : I ■ 'Ivl lilVOVJ.1 cheated. She said her favorite name was “Helen.” What can she mean by that? Making scrap books about everything and collecting fossils are her means of whiling away a few hours. Skating is another of her hob- bies. Her ambition is to be a secretary. pj J BETTY BEERBOWER. . “Bet $C-’ a quiet but attractive br Avh-eved blond, tninks “Bill” is o. k.—The name, that is. She likes to skate and we bet she cuts a pretty figure waltzing around the rink in her black and red skating outfit. Her ambition is to be a secre- tary. (Lucky boss!) HELEN LOUISE BENNETT. “Hen” is the unsuitable name of this young lady. “Bob,” we might add, is well known by her. Skating and swimming are two of her favorites. She hopes to become a nurse. She belonged to National Thespians, Choral and Bridge Clubs. HELEN VIRGINIA POTTER. Helen likes going to movies and ball games. Roller-skating and swimming also rank high with her. “Jim,” as we all know, means a lot to her. To sit in an office with a notebook on her knee is her ambition. JACK STEWART. “Jack” is simply known as just “Jack.” That is, every- one, including “Mary,” calls hi mso. Jack seems to prefer the company of the birds to that of humans. He wishes to fly an airplane. His activities were football, band, and orchestra. MARY FULTZ. Mary, known as “Tiney” to her many friends, favors the name “Ashley.” A nice cool swim on a hot day is “right up her alley.” Football, too, is a favorite means of recreation. To be an airline hostess is all right with her. HAROLD M. GASKINS JR. With all our snooping and inquiry, we just couldn’t discover one of Harold’s nick- names. Guess we just don’t know the right people. Speaking of names, do you know his favorite name? It is Ruth.” His hobby and sport are pho- tography and tennis. His : ctivities were Photography Club, Hi-Y, and Rifle Club. SARA JANE BRANNON. Tall, slim Sara Jane is often called “Suzy” by her friends. After a long day at rchool there is nothing like a long bicvcle ride to restore the pink to her cheeks and nothing that she likes better. During the summer, she is a constant visitor to the swimming pool. 23
