Robert Arthur Isabelle Guilt !j or not tiuilty.' Answer yes or no. We wonder if Robert's uncle appreciates what a drawing card his tall, dark, and handsome nephew makes when he officiates as soda-jerker in his drug store. Three years a drum-major, and member of a mili- tary regiment, Bob hopes to be a lawyer in time to come. Toivo Jakola Active natures are rarely melancJioly ; activity and melancholy arc inccmpattble. Toivo, or Timber as everyone knows him, is a diminutive but fiery young lad who is very capable of taking in everything from tennis to horseracing. Timber's dope on the right horse is more than oc- casionally correct. Baseball 3-4. Robert Emil Jarvi Haste makes waste. That Robert doesn't believe in the above adage is clearly evidenced by the manner in which he pilots his automobile. A skillful driver, he sure does love to break all the speed limits! He really ought to take the corners on two wheels, though! Donald Ellis Johnson Truth is always beyond reproach. A question-box incarnate, is Don, one of the best known boys in the class. Ever ready for fun, regard- less of whom it's on, he can also take the joke when it's on himself. 'What a conscientious striver after truth did he prove himself on the 'Write-Up Commit- tee! Orchestra 2-3-4, Relay Team, Glee Club 3, 'Write- Up Committee, Debating Club 4. Henry Kullervo Johnson Basil fulness is an ornament to youth. What a find in this modern world to discover a boy, mind you, a boy who is really bashful! Far from condemning his shyness, let us laud this quiet lad to the skies, but hope the future years will reme- dy his shyness somewhat. Glee Club 2, Dramatic Club 3. Adrienne Lucille Lavoie A siceet, obUninij, kindly so il. Although reserved in class, Adrienne's capacity for fun manifests itself in thorough enjoyment of the games played during her gym period. The cheering section at the football games would not be complete if Adrienne were not present. French Club 2, Dramatic Club 3-4. Annie Lazerowich yearn for knowledge. It does seem as if Annie ought to be satisfied by now. Although she came to America only a few years ago, she has mastered English better than many of us born in the U. S. A. But just total this as well, she converses in Polish, German, and Jewish! Class Color Committee 3. Jeanne Rita LeBlanc oil, to dance forever! Never, in all this world, would we have suspected shy little Jeanne of possessing such active ambition, for she wishes to become a famous dancer. How sin- cerely we hope that her dream may be fulfilled! In classes Jeanne is so quiet that we wonder if the teachers frighten her! June Eleanor Lomme Maiden of the smiling eyes. June's eyes always seem to have a smile in them. She is a very fashion-wise young person and is al- ways as neat as the proverbial pin. How generous you have always been, June, in lighting our dull days with your delightful dancing. Glee Club 3. Rita Margaret Lorion Yc licllrs, and yc flirts, And ye pert little things. Here is a problem for you to solve. How well could Rita express herself if she were in a contest which demanded that one should not use her eyes? Those great brown orbs are such an intricate part of Rita's expression that she doesn't need any mouth with which to talk. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2-3.

Albert James Halliday Nttgae canorae. Melodiiis trifles. Since Jimmy came here from Panama, he has gath- ered many laurels, especially among the fairer sex. His worst fault is his desire to scrape the strings of a violin. Since he first started to play, three families have moved, no fooling. He has improved rapidly and now can play six out of e'ght notes correctly. Out- side of this menace he is a likeable fellow. Orchestra 3. Howard Pierce Haubrich He is well paid that is well satisfied. If being tall of stature, having an everlasting good humor and love of fun, and being always neat, are virtues, then Howard is a right virtuous fellow. He enthusiastically supports dances, sports, movies. Glee Club 4. Robert Hems For all may have, if they dare try. Bob is an active member of the musical organiza- tions at school. His splendid voice has made him a prominent officer of the Glee Club and a delight to his audience. Remember Bob as dashing Don Pedro, crooning a love-song at the 1935 Junior-Senior Re- ception? Orchestra 2. Glee Club 2-3-4, H. M. S. Pinafore 3, Track Team 4. Frank Everett Houghton We learn by askin; . We do earnestly wish that someone hadn't divulged the above stupendous fact to Frank'e. His quest for knowledge by way of the question and answer method has since been unceasing. But Frankie is a great asset to his friends for he knows where the easy-reading book reports are kept! Councillor 2. Robert Allan Inman Politeness costs nothing and gains everything. Bob is a gentleman, poet, student, and tennis play- er, who spends his spare time hunting in out-of-the- wav corners for those elusive ads which make the publication of the Red and Gray possible. Basketball, Tennis 2-3, Red and Gray Board 2-3-4, Class Colors 3. JVIary Olga Koutonen Salvo pudore. Without offense to modesty. Mostly conservative in all she does, we see the little imp of mischief peep forth as she fills some one's shoes with snow while skating, or ties clothes into knots while swimming. A very likeable girl, she participates willingly in everything she is asked to do. Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball 2-3-4. Aino Kaaren Laakso Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. For any detailed information upon the widely separated topics of cats or red-headed fellows may we refer you to Aino, who is a recognized authority upon these two subjects. It is not within our sphere, however, to state the why and wherefore on the lat- ter part! Dolores Clare LaFleur When modesty is not a virtue. Pretty soon we're going to scold! Here is another culprit who has been attempting to conceal from us the fact that she is a delightful piano player. We ad- mire modesty but not when it deprives us of the knowledge of class talent. Estelle Irene LaFleur Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie. How grateful we are to this sweet, reserved girl who never once refused to accommodate us, regard- less of how belated we were in our requests. Her ability to make the ivory keys talk was a four-year marvel to admiring pianists as well as to the lay folks. Orchestra 2-3-4. Rachel Delia Lahtinen Sport is tlie bloom and glow of perfect liealth. A basketball team? Then you must have Rachel whose height is only one of her many assets. She not only takes a keen interest in this branch of athletics but in all others which the school offers. Just glance at her list of activities! Hockey 2, Basketball 2-3-4.

Sointu Kaanta For a light heart iires long. Just where did Homer keep himself during his four years in high school? We presume that he preferred to commune with the great outdoors rather than to spend his time gayly disporting in a drawing-room. But then, we don't exactly blame him. Baseball 2, Football 2-3, Tennis 2-4, Track Team 3-4. Eli Peter Kahkola Earnestness is the soul of work. Eli is a conservative fellow whose name has long graced the honor roll. Books are not his only means of education, however, as travel also forms a large part. He doesn't believe in all work and no play, as the social events of Westminster will readily testify. Leo Jacob Kangas My Viiry good friend, the milkman says — Leo, our blond Romeo, has to travel quite a dis- tance to school, so we can't blame him if he doesn't put in his appearance every day. He has a real school-girl's complexion; no wonder he's so popular among them! But even their charms aren't sufficient to frighten away Wanderlust, his ever present temptation. Glee Club 3. Oiva Edwfn Karvonen You ought to haiw seen the big one that got away. Oiva strides along unmindful of the affairs of other men, and believes in covering a good deal of ground with as few steps as possible. He is most happy while spending his time hooking the aquatic species or endeavoring to run down the woodland inhabitants. Relay Team 3. John Katsaros Yon. laugh when he tells you his dreams, but be patient. The world's greatest geniuses were dreamers, the heading under which Katsy's friends place him. In his keen mind lie great ambitions for the future of radio. Did you ever see him looking into blank space? He was thinking of interesting questions to ask his Math, teacher! Barbara Louise Lovejoy Fler lungs are very sensible, for everything makes her laugh. Lovey is part of that famous lolly-pop gang which attends all the track meets; she is always laughing or smiling at something, is easy to get along with, and excels as a hostess at many enjoyable parties. Dramatic Club 3, Glee Club 3-4. Muriel Dorothy Lynde am no orator as Brutus was, I only talk right on. Muriel usually greets you with, Got something to tell ya. This doesn't keep you in suspense because you know that the something is either about the night before or the new boy friend. To Squirrel, collecting china dogs is more fun than doing homework. Hockey 2. Basketball, 'Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Junior Reception Committee 3, Debating Club, Glee Club 3-4. Helen Carolyn JVIacCracken Little girl; you're having a busy time. Helen's interests range from the newspaper busi- ness, for more reasons than one, to the novelty of soap sculpturing, and thence to bicycle riding, bas- ketball, and field hockey. And her oral reports testify to her great delight in talking! Councillor 2 Hockey, Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Class Color Committee 3. Frances Elizabeth McCarthy A merry maid is she. This fleet-footed maiden came to us originally from Portland, Maine, but is now escorted about by the South Side Brigade. Her pleasing personality, con- tagious smile, and definite social inclinations speedily made her many friends. Basketball, Dramatic Club, Joke Committee The Boulder, Class Play, Open Meeting 4. Dorothy Mavis McCormack Work well done will always aid one. Polite and friendly, Dot takes life a little more seriously than most of us. Her efficiency as a secre- tary has duly proved to us that the time spent in the commercial course has been of the utmost value to this unassuming girl. Hockey 2.
