ROGER MERWIN WELLS Activities: Track Managerg Glee Clubg French Clubg Music Club. Roger has an excellent voice. Some day we hope to hear him over the radio. When we listen in, we'll be thinking of him as a blonde schoolboy. instead of the country's greatest baritone. MARJORIE DAY WILCOX Activities: A. A.g Commercial Team 3. The beauty of Marjorie's personality lies in her quietness. Even though home-making takes much of her interest. she espe- cially enjoys the sport. skating. She is a very conscientious person. and her scholastic ability is noteworthy in the Class of '34. RICHARD HENRY WILLIAMSON Activities: Sophomore Class Presidentg Public Speaking 43 Hi-Y Treasurer 3: Junior Prom Committee, Swimming 1, 2, Cap- tain 35 Basketball, Baseball 3, 43 Soccer 1, 2, 35 A. A. 1, 2. 3, 4. Richard is one of our athletic heroes. His popularity was proved when he was elected president of our Boys' Hi-Y. In- deed. the Class of '34 is proud to have a leader of his ability among us. ROBERT AUSTIN WINCHELL Activities: Glee Club 1, 2, 3g Public Speaking 4g Interclass Bas- ketball l, Q, 3, 4. Bob has one of the sunniest dispositions in school, as he always has a ready smile for everyone. VVe usually find him pres- ent at all social functions, where his crooning abilities are much in demand. CLARA-JANE WOOD Activities: Senior Play Castg Dramatic Clubg Public Speakingg The Mikadoug Hi-Y Clubg Debating Clubg A Cappella Choirg Senior Ring Committeeg Student Councilg Honor Student. If one were to ask who is the most outstanding senior in extra-curricular activities, I hardly think there would be any hesi- tation about naming Clara. Besides being an actress of some abil- ity, and a musician, she also ranks high in scholastic honors. Despite the great laurels Clara has won, her head has not been turned. FRANK RAYMOND YOUNG Activities: A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4g Basketball 2, 3, 4, Captain 4-3 Junior Varsity Football 15 Basketball, Interclass Junior Varsity Q. Varsity 3, 4, Co-Captain 45 Orchestra 1, 2, 3g Band I, 2, 35 Junior Prom Committee. Behold our great basketball star! Without his remarkable playing our team would not have amounted to much. Indeed, as Ray is an excellent athlete he has many friends among us. VVe hope he succeeds in architecture, which he is intending to study.

CLASS PROPHECY Place: New York Harbor Time: Summer, 1945 CLARA-JANE Woon, MURIEL KELLY, WILLARD DEAN, FRANCIS AURINGER Splash! Overboard goes Carroll Swan, once a high school lad of unusual intellect-and vocabulary, yet seen but a moment ago scrubbing the deck until he slipped 011 that cake of soap. He flounders a moment in the water, then, merely to deprive Charles lVIcGuffin, the undertaker, of the task of performing funeral rites over his recovered body, he swims to the boat. That was the first mishap aboard the S.S. Duchess. You see Captain Tony Cafaro has a fad for uniting old friends. Heis called together the entire Class of 1934, of which he was once president, and is conducting them in a group on an extraordinary transoceanic voyage-all merely to recall old times! But, very conspicuously, a few are absent. Strange, isn't it, that Bob Morrison and Harold Hurd should both have the same exalted occupation: that of teaching English-the former at Oxford University, the latter in West Fort Ann? And Bill Tupper has, naturally enough, taken the place of Miss Adriance, who surely deserved the enormous pension she is getting. These three gentlemen, occupied by their pedagogical pursuits, could scarcely be expected to be in attendance. Two maiden ladies are also absent, because of their fear of seasickness-two who occupy furnished rooms, keep a gas stove, an extensive wardrobe, and a chow dog, and discuss their frustrated love affairs, to wit, Caroline and Eunice Robinson. Jillian Beaudet, famous international lawyer, is absent, too. He is busy trying to negotiate a second extradition of Samuel Insull, still the man of the hour. . But look who are here! Leaning over the taffrail and composing an ode to the sea is Enid Riley. Leaning over the rail for an entirely different purpose is poor, seasick Harry Griffin, being comforted and soothed in his agony by a gentle nurse, Edna VanDenburgh. In an enclosed tennis court at the left are Jack Norris and Gordon Ward, whacking away as if a vision of the international championship cup were before them. Gazing on, fascinated, are Harold-Dean, New York Cityis leading pharmacist, and Martha Sheehy, social organizer, who for light reading, still prefers the classics to the leading novels. QShe always was a bit of a student, you know.j Addicted as ever to airing her own views, she has recently been victorious in a series of debates on the Future of American Youth. Then there is the placid, good-natured Lillian Matteson, who married a baker, and so is no longer compelled to be a bread-winner, like most of us. Annie Feigenbaum approaches, quite the aristocrat with her lorgnette and lap- dog, and is followed by Louis Dudley, deck hand, who sweeps for dear life, as if attempting to remove any taint of that aristocracy which may have con- taminated the deck. Henry Hamelin, too, is a millionaire, a fact which his pompous gait betrays. Other sights we see are Helen Jensen experimenting with the salt-water
