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
