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

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

Thirty MARGARET ANNE GRIMDITCH Entered '35g Glee Club '35, '36, '3'7g Oper- etta 136. 'THEY say you can take pills to stretch your bones, but petiteness doesn't seem to bother our friend much. Straight hair seems to be an- other of her ruling ideals to obtain in life, but somehow, from what we can see at the moment, it appears that this will never be attained, no matter how much water she puts on it. Bobby always manages to do something Cwhether it's good or had we can't or won't sayb every second of every minute. Consequently, it feels as though a whirlwind had passed over you, when y0u've been with her for a while. ln the past, she per- formed so many antics in all forms of dancing that she finally broke both her feet by her strenu- ous efortsg so she had to give up her future as Nijinski's protege to live a staid quiet life-until she changed her tactics and now is aiming to be First Lady of the ice rink. She might get there at that! GFS LLOYD O. LOI-IMEYER Entered '36I Football '363 Track '37. MY name is Yon Yolmson. I come from VVis- consin-Oh, but wait a minute, this must be two other guys. Lloyd comes from Michigan, where he lived after leaving us back in sixth grade. This year he returned with a permanent wave and a smoothie complex which has accosted maidens in distress with suave diplomacy. Back in the primary he wore the oflicial cap and bells of the class which he has since discarded for the top hat. All of these slaying qualities, he has as- sumed with a do or die fervor which ought to de- liver the goods. VVell, you old VVQ-sternerl Rydal, cowboy! Yippee!
