Dennis is the popular manager of our baseball and basketball teams and he does a good job for both; just ask the boys who play.

We hear he is planning to run for mayor of High- land Avenue. We hope he makes it. Baseball Manager 3, 4; Basketball Manager 3.

He likes all active outdoor sports, especially baseball and football. Some branch of the armed services will be Damon' occupation. futur DAVID WALKER CARLSON He may appear studious, but is not truthfully so. Dave or Brud , as he is called, is one of those happy-go- lucky, extremely cheerful boys who never lets anything bother him. His fine work as manager of the football squad will not be for- gotten for quite a while. Brud's hearty laugh can be heard everywhere, especially in English class. After graduation Dave is very much interested in going to an aviation school in Indiana and we know with his irresistible charm he is sure to have good fortune. DONALD EARL CASWELL Casey would waltz with the strawberry blond and the band played on. Due to Donald's ability to dance, he is much in demand at all dances he attends. He is one of the many boys who is always trying to brighten up a quiet classroom with his never-ceasing pranks. If you frequently visit Westminster you have probably seen him delivering groceries for Johnny's Market. One of his favorite sports is swimming, and how the girls admire his manly muscles.
