Silence is one great art of conversation. I ' Ve know from Bob ' s hard zcork and quiet activity in his music and at school that he is doing his best, and that he is silently and right¬ fully earning himself the coveted reputation of “plugger .” RICHARD W.

Dick has a great many fine qualities which have made him a distinguished and respected member of our class. His worth to the track team and the band is tvell-knoun.

Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Secretary, Chess Club, S-2; Silver Expert Typist Pin, Gold Expert Typist Pin. Brevity is the lamplight of wit.

Bancroft Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Band, 1-1 to S-2; Orchestra, 2-2 to S-2. , Small in stature, broad in smile, high in scholarship, and a plugger is what we shall always remember about Alex. JOHN E. CRAWFORD Spruce Hill, Pa. Quartermaster Sergeant, Battalion, S-2; First Prize Single Competitive Drill; Manager, Basketball, ’38-’39. Heck is a small town boy who has made good. He is friend¬ ly totvards all, and, as manager of the basketball team, he teas outstanding. With these points in his background Heck should put Spruce Hill on the map. HENRY DEVUONO (Henry) 1808 N.
