she plays just as hard and gets much enjoyment from either work or play. There is a tall, dark, man in her life, which scares us because she is our nominee for the girl we would like most to be marooned with in Algebra Class. STANLEY PHILLIPS—There are really three Stanleys. When you hear a loud rrport up in the hills, it probably isn't an ava- lanche; two-', o-one, it's Stan up there providing provender for his hungry brood. (He is also an amateur taxidermist.) Another Stanley is the one who plods methodically around in blue cover- alls, unfreezing weter-pipe3 and fixing sinks and drains so they’ll drain. The third Stanley is Stanley the school boy, who played football for the first time this year, and really made a name for himself. He is now in Naval Training, so perhaps we should make it four Stans. SARAROSE DAVIS—Sararose has been in Grant High for three years and' has made a fine record of which she may well be proud of. Aside from being a main stay in the Band, her name invariably appears on the Honor Roll. Sararose is friendly to everyone and she deserves all the good breaks she can get. She is going on to college this summer to become a teacher. TED HINSHAW—Ted is one of our outstanding athletes, and was an All-Star for the District 'B Tournament. Ted is leaving Grant High to become a sailor. His chief school interests were foot- ball and basketball, and he was a four-year lettermen. We will remember Ted also in the Senior Play as the troubled husband. Good luck, Ted; in the Navy! ERNESTINE MULCARE—This Blc.ck-eyod-Suzy holds the glamour situation at Grant well in hand. She is part of that vanishing race who take their time but achieve their purpose. Her raven- black hair produces sighs and cries (from men and women re- spectively) She lends her lovely voice to the Glee Club (Si’.id tosses many sparkling smiles at everyone KENNY SCOTT— Live-wire-Scott, the man wno gets 'things done , is barely 5 feet, 6 inches tall. But that doesn’t hinder his maneuvers in the least. He's in on everything from managing the carnival to dating a certain blonde. He is a nstural lead- er when he isn’t too busy tearing sofas apart to give it a thought. His specialty is being hep to the jive , which, in English, means he is quite a li'l jitterbug, and his lament is that he's too young to join the Marines. BOB HOLLAND— Holland is one of those rare fellows who, even though he is built like a football player has a heart cf pure inedulterated gold. His act of complete innocence would fool any body. Whenever1 © ’lose our eyes and think about our wonderful foot-

ball season, Holland stands out as the most pioturesque .figure While stalking up and down the line and roaring at his teammateq he more than once put fire into a mediocre g8me. He’s always good-natured and full of mischevious pranks which (he says) are of the most innocent intentions» MARGARHT FRANCIS—A Grant High Student for only her Senior year— is this transfer from New Meadows, Idaho. She is very well liked by her friends„ and we wish she could have been here much longer. History class benefits greatly from her sane views which deal mainly with ’why women should have a more direct say in the Uc S» government”. She has her eyes on Cadet Nurses Training after school is out. We will remember her for her performance in M a and My Shedov. and her lively attitude around school. BILL KELLY— There’s something about a guy over six feet, and Kelly certainly seemed to prove that. Bashful Bill’s” first years here were quiet and uneventful, but as he became a Senior, something happened The girls decided he was the one they'd been waiting for, and the Coach decided he belonged on the basketball team. Kelly decided this was definitely the break in his favor; went to work, and was the fourth one chosen on the All-State” at Salem. Scarcely a month before school closed, he enlisted in the U„ S, Navy, and we had to bid him goodbye .lust as we were get- ting acquainted. ROSS SJTITH—Gangling Blimp”, moves slowly around the halls with a pre-flight book under his arm, and an intellectual gleam in his eye. Three years ago thi3 would have spelled disaster, but not anymore. With an eye to the future, which may hold a job for Ross in the Army as well as many other boys, he is preparing himself for whatever he may meet. But he’s sure to do a fine job whether for Unole Sari, or on that ranch where he hands out”, down the river. BILL SMITH— The wisest cracker in school was Bill. He was a familiar figure breezing down the hail3 and going to town In the Mood on a dance-floor, or even blowing his brains out on his ever-present sax. He was a graduating Junior, but left school after mid-term, to become one of the much admired Naval Air Cadets. This makes Bill a perfect speciman, no less, as the Naval Air Corps won’t take them any other way. So good luck Smith t ’ EVELYN BROCK—When she goes dragging that devastatin’ suthun accent behind her, Li’l Daisy Mae will leave a gap that can never be filled. Though she has spent three of her high school years at Grant. it’s still you-all and ah’11 be ’» Her laugh is the best and we love to get her plumb tickled”„ Scarlett O’Hara was never like this—Evelyn will always be our favorite suthun gal”.
