class '29 book Vieno Aliina Peja ' Sober, steadfast, and demure. 'ieno is one of our shy and reserved classmates. At home and in school she is always busily engaged in her studies. She must believe in the saying that Children should be seen, not heard, for she is never seen talking in school except when reciting. She is a part-time student and ever ' other week helps Miss Stratton. Stanley Warren Peterson And when a lady's in the case. You know all other things give place. Pete spends a great deal of his time up on Blossom Street. Perhaps that's why his lessons aren't d one every day. He is one of those boys you have to look up to when he enters the room, because he reaches the height of six feet quite easily. In civics class he vies with M. Brown and Hay to see who can keep Mr. Butler talking longest. However, civics seems to be one of the studies Pete enjoys, as he is always ready with an answer to any question asked. Clarence Anthony Phaneuf As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. Clarence firmly believes in taking things easy. He must believe that it is the pace that kills. He doesn't let the thought of his lessons keep him awake nights. Clarence is always ready for fun — especially so in jollying the feminine portion of the class. Raymond Sheridan Phinney O ye gods, ye gods! must I endure all this'' Phinney is our cheer leader, and he certainly can lead us when he gets going. He is a sort of happy-go-lucky fellow, and is a great favorite among the boys and girls, especially the latter, for we rarely see Phinney without a girl. This year he tried to cut his hand off at manual training, but the best he was able to do was to cut off the tip of a finger. Have you noticed the new car he has been driving lately? We wonder where he found it? Band (2), Cheer Leader (2-3-4). School Council (3), Glee Club (3-4), Operetta (3-4), Marshal. Ernest Russel Pierce A farmer's life is the life for me, A farmer's boy I want to be. Now here we have a fellow who prefers hunting and fishing to school. Working from two to six and going out each night doesn't give liim much time to study. But just give him a gun and hint to him where he can get a partridge or pheasant, and Ernie will be there bright and early next morning, providing it doesn't rain. He's had so much mechanical drawing that Mr. Brown has to take the building apart to give him something to draw. Track (3). [44]
