Twen ty-1' igh MARJCRIE DEARNLEY Entered '24g Glee Club '35, '36, '3'7: Operetta '36g Volleyball ,353 Hockey '36. THIC hatred of any bull Miss Dearnley would engender, with her great passion for red Cusu- ally in the form of turtle-neck sweatersb. Above all, she would like to be sophisticated, but she ean't fool us-in spite of all her little mannerisms, she gets just as much joy out of the simple things of life as anyone else. Dearn, we agree, is the most obligingr soul, particularly when it comes to laughing: at dumb jokes. VVe hope she will con- tinue to preserve her sense of humor, even after she leaves us to go into the great world. GFS HARRIET ELIZABETH EHLERS Entered '26g Glee Club '35, '36, '37: Orleretta '363 Tennis Manager '36. IN'l'RUDL'ClNG a little lady with an infinite eapacity for taking pains-and notes fthat doesn'1 mean billets doux eithcrj. Happy drives the poor teachers to distraction, with her inces- sant questions Cdefined in the dictionary as nex- amination by torturevj, but she gets there all right with flying colors. She's not in much danger of taking the one too many steps from genius to insanity through her imaginative powers, hut when it comes to studiousness, she's pretty near the water-line. However, that Grecian pro- file saves her from any more abusefso let her alone! f

CYNTHIA CRENSHAW Entered '25, Glee Club '35, '36, '3'7: Oper- etta '35, '36: Treasurer B.T.C. '34, Pastorian l1'oard '35, '36, '37, Tennis '36: Volleyball '36. Wl'l'll a look of haughty disapproval, Deedee rises from her chair f rises, I say, not gets up j, and with a knowing and crooked smile fthe same crook that's in her fingerj and a toss of that proud head, she sweeps away. She is the most stately, sophisticated young lady of the class, and manages to give that impression of a Grecian goddess pretty well fwhat was her nick- name?!D, but she can't fool us. Deedee always has been the most mature, the most charmingly gracious of all of us, and we hope that her high aspirations will get her there Cwhere?j some-day, but that when she's flown from our humble, sheltered nest, she won't ignore us children too completely. GFS CHARLES MANN FLETCHER Entered '25: Glee Club '36. 'R71 Ooeretta '36, Football '35, '36, Track '36, '37. KANIJIID Kamera Charles, the pride of Hans- herry St., fancies himself as a second Cassa- nova, but confines his activities to occasional outings on the VVest River Drive. Joe is his first love Cplease note the omission of his secondj. VS'e have thought of putting a sign on Mr. Domi's door-- Only one Fletcher at a time. It's rather disconcerting to turn around when the recess hell rings and find two grinning faces where formerly was only one. Bill delights in demonstrating the efficiency of the slide rule, or how much simpler it is to do it on paper. Another of his favorite tricks is a graphic portrayal of some brutal mangling with his hands, accompanied by complete sound effects. But in spite of our Wondering whether he's a little nuts, at times his sincerity almost over- awes us, especially when it comes to playing squash. TTU!'lIf.Il-Sf?Z'971

LIEANN A FOOKS Entered '32, Glee Club '35, '36, '37. I-IIEANNA is a most unassuming and retiring person to get anywhere in our boisterous class, but by hook or by crook, she's done it. That cloak of quietness isn't going to hide her all her life, however. VVhen she gets mad, she gets mad, and as for her driving! Here her likeness to the Timid Soul is completely forgotten. She is a very polite and obliging body, and at times her pep and enthusiasm overwhelm you, taking you un- awares. Lieanna is a perfect girl of the Gay Nineties: a giggling, blushing, Winsome young thing, too sweet and innocent to be thrust into the cruel, cold world. But she's not so innocent as she sounds-just ask her! GFS DAVID FOULKE GARDINER Entered '35: Glee Club '36, '37: Operetta 'Wiz Soccer '36: Track '36, '37: Basketball '36, '37, DAN'P1 has only been with us for two years and is still a bit of a mystery. In fact he's what is called one of those dual personalities-a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. We don't quite know whether to expect to see him moping over his love-life in a dark corner, or carrying on like a nwre infant, while leading all the boys in a vocal version of Sweet Sue. Often is the time those rich mellow tones have been heard resound- ing through the halls, soothing and quieting jumpy nerves or fitful humours! VVe've been told he's a flash on the dance-f'loor-- almost rating with Astaire. So that's where those lanky, pliable limbs, usually used in hurdling high-jumps come in handy. At least they seem to give Herb that exotic, indifferent look which slays the weaker sex right and left. l Twenty-nine
