The BARBARA MARTHA EFVERMAN Her ways are ways of pleasantness all her paths are peace. Barbara is a tall, slim, attractive brunette with a calm and serene way about her. Yet, she is very quick to smile and laugh at a joke. One of her greatest loves is that of the opera, and she can usually be found reading summaries of them. Her name can usually be found high on our honor roll, for she is one of our best students. Volleyball 2. JOSEPH JAMES EMMA There is mischief in this man. Joe, another popular boy of the class, is a well dressed lad who enjoys dancing. Joe likes sports of all kinds, especially basketball and baseball.

A dapper young man came strolling in one fine morning and made known his desire to become trained as an auto-mechanic, a desire which accounts for the fact that his car has never failed him. Whenever a dance was held in school, Vince was always present. His big moment came when he addressed the freshman class on the value of vocational education. We feel sure that if he continues the good work of the past, his success for the future is assured. Home Room Representative 4; Variety Revue 4. ROBERT JOHN FARWELL An education is worth the time. Bob, good-natured and easy to get along with, has a wide variety of avid interests including model railroading, automobiles and sports.

He likes sports of all kinds, especially baseball and basketball. Also likes to dance and can be seen at all class functions. One notices him first for his sharp taste in clothes and sense of humor, but these are only two of Jack's fine qualities. We liked him so much we made him our Winter Carnival King.

He had a special ability for football, and in his senior year made the varsity football team, playing well all season and gaining the name of Cliff, the flying halfback. With his friends and classmates behind him, he is bound to succeed in whatever he ventures. Good luck Cliff. Basketball 2, 3; Football 2, 3, 4; Junior-Senior Relay 3; Track 2, 3; State 220 yd.
