thus preventing him from ploying football v.hen he v,es a senior, 3ud says he will be glad to graduate and says he v»ants to raise cattle. PATTY LOU ELLIOTT---This five-foot-one-inch red-head has been in every activity of Grant Hi's from band concerts to three-act plays. Patty Lou is a four-year band and two-year Glee Club member, a two year letterglrl, and has held oarts in the two olay3 the Class of '46 has presented. Although Patty leaves us this year, her excellent record as a Grant Hi student will linger as a standard for the scores of future students, for she rated higH scholastically, too. GLEN CHANDIER, JR.--One of the Grant High Prospectors now serving his country, is thi3 small but well-known stu- dent who left for the Navy after playing a stellar game of football at Madras in November, 1945. If anyone could think of a Joke or prank to blay upon some unsuspecting by-stender, Glen was the boy. Such occasions were his delight. It was In hi3 sophomore year that we saw him make his letter in football and from then on, he proved to be one of Coach Johnson's and Grant Hi's fightenest guards. He held the position of secretary of the Lettermen'3 Club for one year when he was a senior. We hope Glen finds the Navy 3s great a friend as Grant Union has tried to be to him. IIARY LOU DICKENS-- Blondie to many of us, will depart from Gras t HI leaving three and a half years of success in making friendships and gracious reminders for the future Grant students. Seven semesters in the band and Glee Club have earned for her ? position that will be difficult to fill in our coming years. In the l st semester of her senior year, she beg«n her college training to be one jump phead in her future more than she har anticip ted. She came back to Grant H gh though to graduate with the rest of her class in I.lay. She leave's behind her a record in scholastic ■-• • - schfevements and musical achievements. Mary Lpu is studying to become a teacher. LAURIE Y.YI4JE-- The little speck of dust v.ho could upset any ball cartier on the football field v.hen all others had given ud the chase, as Mr. Johnson would say, is the most appropriate description ve could find for Laurie. Three years as a football letterman, four years in the band, and the vice-presidency of the Lettermen's Club have placed Laurie in our minds as one of the best all-around fellows. That little speck of dust was also president of the senior clars. TED LIVIMISTOK-- Favorite of mwny and liked by all is how v;e could consider our student-body president's position.
