WILLIAM JOSEPH CARROLL ‘■Bill” Intramural basketball (2, 3, 4); Hockey (4); Track (4). Whiz! That must be “Bill” riding by in his Buick. This well-known car always manages to take him where the most fun is to be had. Some people have the mistaken idea that he’s quiet. However, we all certainly do agree on the fact that he flashes one of the best-known grins in G. H. S. Accompanied by the rest of his “gang,” he has enlivened many a school dance and entertainment. RUTH EILEEN CASEY “Ruthy” Pro Merito (4); Exponent (4); Year Book Staff (4); “Co-eds ' Night Out” (3); “Campus Capers” (4); Alpha Beta Pi (3,4); Glee Club (3, 4); Art Club (3). “Ruthy” is one of our shyest and sweetest classmates. Also, she’s acquired a kind of fame in G. H. S. for her disposition, which always seems to be just a little bit sweeter than anyone else’s. Often seen with her pal “Winnie,” she has been one of our best contributors to “The Exponent.” G. H. S. will miss her smile. EARL JOSEPH CASH “Monk” Football (3); Intramural basketball (3, 4). Of all our square-shouldered athletes who roar on the field amid the noise and shouts of the gang, “Monk” Cash is one of the best known. By this we mean that he, at one time or another, dining his high school career, played football. But. “Monk” is also interested in other sports, such as basketball. He is one of these shy, reserved persons, who, although far from spectacular, are genuinely liked by all.

She is what is commonly called a “good mixer,” and because of this particular trait is tremendously popular with all members of her class. She is interested in music and a participant in all musical festivities. She is also a sports enthusiast, and no game is complete without “Irie’s” lusty yelling behind the lines. SHIRLEY ROBERTA CAMPBELL “Soup” Exponent (4); Year Book Staff (4); Archery (2,3); Alpha Beta Pi (4). Shirley’s ability to talk and her lively interest in everything she undertakes have helped her to become a very popular Senior. Her chief interests are Chemistry and Alpha Beta Pi, and she spends much time on each. NORMAN BERTRAM CAREY “Hank” Basketball (2, 3); Baseball (3); Hi-Y (4). Crash! Bang! Boom! Here comes “Hank,” who’s just a rough and ready hunter at heart. He’s quite a well-known figure up around North Parish and the Grange. Indeed, he rates a good deal of credit both on the G. H. S. and on the North Parish basketball floors. G. H. S. will miss his ever-ready smile. GEORGE WILLIAM CARON “Georgie” Home Room Collector (2); Stamp Club (4 President). George is a typical outdoor man and may also be called exceedingly shy. Most of us remember him as the usher who works at the “Vic.” He is well-known among his friends as a good pal and a grand friend. We are indebted to him for his quiet cooperation and industry. GERTRUDE ETHEL CARPENTER “Gerty” Intramural basketball (2, 3, 4). “Gerty” is a well-known “tomboy” of our class and is recog¬ nized by her amicable and jovial manner. A hearty hail and a broad smile also reveal her presence. If “Gerty” is around accompanied by her usual wisecracks, there is never a dull moment. Always seen with her pal, Fay, she has helped enliven many G. H. S. classes. Twenty

His ambition is to become an undertaker, but don ' t let that scare you. ELEANOR MAE BURKE “ Burkie” Gregg Progress Pin; Theory Certificate; Intramural basketball (2, 3, 4); Soccer (2, 3); Glee Club (4). “Burkie” is a quiet, good-natured person. She certainly showed her athletic ability and sportsmanship in the intramurals. If you want to find her in a hurry just look for Virginia or “Al” and she is sure to be there. Her shy smile and unassuming ways have won her many friends in school and outside. Her pluck and willingness to help will steer her straight up the ladder of success. RICHARD CALVIN BURNHAM “Red” Pro Merito (3, 4); Gregg Theory Award; 60-80 Certificates; Baseball Manager (3, 4). A flash of red hair heralds the approach of this cheerful boy.

Indeed, instead of possessing the habitual red-head’s temper, “Red is a grand pal and a swell sport. He has done much for our baseball team and certainly deserves the appreciation of his classmates.

We know “Betty” will make a very pretty as well as efficient nurse. JULIA ELIZABETH COUTURE “Babe” Soccer (2); Intramural basketball (2, 3); Dramatic Club (3); Art Club (4). Julia’s quiet ways conceal her many interests. She has become best known around school by her work as office girl, delivering those looked-for pink slips. Her low voice and blonde hair are her out¬ standing characteristics. ARLINE MAE COWDREY “Poochie” Intramural basketball (2, 3, 4); Winter Concert (2, 3); Glee Club (2); Delta Sigma Rho (2); Student Council (2). This peppy Senior is so full of fun that she just cant stay still. We’ve never seen her serious even during the “Chem midyears, and high school will seem dreary with Poochie gone.

WILLIAM PETER CERAUSKIS “Willie” “Willie” is another member in our league of shyer boys, but again is the general favorite of many.

He is a member of the Commercial course and is making a fine showing in his various studies. MICHAEL ANGELO COCCO “Cocco Kid” Art Club (4). Cocco may be classed as one of our shyer students, but we do not know whether or not it is this trait which makes him so popular with the lower classmen. Nevertheless, he is not far behind many of the Don Juans of the Senior class. “Mike” is also interested in sports, especially boxing, and has been in the ring with many an opponent. Twenty-one
