Frank now has joined the ranks of those interested in America's popular hobby—stamp collecting. “Wanna sell a stamp? ' School days have certainly been packed full of activity for Muriel, because of her memberships in- the Pep. Commercial, and Library Clubs, and also because of her work in the Cadet Corps. She took time out for her hobbies and favorite sports, which arc skating, dancing, and swimming. She was a commercial srudent and some day hopes to become an efficient secretary.

CL Q. Chick is one of the live wires with a good heart. Nothing that the school has endorsed is too big for him to tackle. However. like most of us. he often got into mischief, but since he was so full of excuses that he never used the same one twice, he often got out again. Chick got so much fun out of everything that most students knew him as a friend. This quiet blonde-haired girl is liked by all who know her. She is a native Alexandrian and proud of the fact. While in G. W.. she has been an active member of the Cadet Corps and of the Pep. Dramatic, and Silver Dollar History Clubs. Her hobbies are swimming and bicvcling. and her ambition is to become a secretary. Jack believes that “none but the brave deserve the fair. and he will go to the most extreme ends to prove this. He has always been active in dramatics and is full of that school spirit necessary to make him one of the “play boys of G. W.“ Jack was a member of the Contestants Club and has represented us in the contests at Charlottesville. Virginia transferred from Wilson. N. C.. in her junior'year. Since coming to G.
