'1 REPRESENTATIVE SENIORS DOROTHY FROSLIE: What's the matter with 'Friz'? She's all right. Who says so? We all say so. For four years Dorothy has led the cheering section of Fergus High. Sometimes We marveled at any one person's possessing so much pep and energy-especially at 9:30 in the morning when a pep fest was included in the convocation program. Her devotion to sports, especially to football and basketball, was wonderful to behold, In spite of the fact that she worked at Norby's after school every day and on Saturday, Dorothy participated in band, G.A.A., and Thespians. She was a member of the annual staff, and furthered the democracy of our institution by serving on the student council for two years. We hope that the Queen of the Otters will succeed elsewhere as she has here ELLERY ROBERTS. Something important going on? Ellery's in it! Ellery around? Something im- portant will happen! That sums up Ellery as we know him-never a dull moment from morning to night. Ellery's leadership in extrafcurricular activities, including Thespians, radio club, and International Relations was certainly deserving of special recognition. He gained a high rank on the Honor Roll, was a member of the National Honor Society, and as a reward for his outstanding accomplishments in his science classes, he received the Bausch-Lomb science award. For many years he was a mainstay of the band and he also displayed special ability as a soloist on his sousaphone. lf there's a difficult character part in a play, Ellery is your man. He has given excellent portrayals of everything from a pampered darling to a nervous wreck. His ever-present wit and smooth personality will carry him far on the road to success. '11 uf 'tv N NORMAN GIORGINI: Would this little realm of ours collapse without this quiet, efficient, son o' the soil, Norman Giorgini? One would almost think so when we think of his accomplishments. Norman's studiousness won for him the rank of valedictoriang he was president of the National Honor Society, and also received the V.F.W. award. Play practice for several plays took up many of his after school and after supper hours. Being the announcer for the School of the Air sent his clear, distinct voice out over the air waves. He proved a valuable addition to the football team and to intramural sports. Norman's non-participation in the pleasures of coke, girls, and song is repre- sentative of quite a few of the senior boys, but he did have a good time anyway, and we believe that his formal education and his hard work will bring big dividends in the future. BEVERLY OYEN: Bev is the gal who puts her gray matter to good use and still manages to get around -all of which makes for quite a combination. Her seemingly ceaseless ambition accounts for her not only taking an active part in extra-curricular activities but also for working at the hospital and clinic before and after school. She belonged to Thespians, International Relations, and served faithfully as a clarinetist ir: the band for four years. As a result of her work in high school she was one of the initial members of the National Honor Society, salutatorian, and recipient of the D.A.R. award. At present she is interested in nursing, but no matter what her life work may be, fortune will surely smile on her.
