The Big Four Willard Ahrens 'Plan for tomorrow and today will take care of itself' is the slogan that 'Rowboat', a member of the Air Corps, faithfully prac- tices. Having a keen desire for adventure and excitement, he hopes to someday help in the development of Australia, for he sees great possibilities in the future of this country. W1llard's leadership ability and foresight have been proven many times, and we know he will make good these ambitions! June Algire Red haired, happy-go-lucky 'Sandee' loves a good time and is forever thinking up some scheme to have fun. As an eager basketball fan, she not only loves to watch an exciting game but really enjoys taking part in them. To be another 'Rosanne of Charing Cross' is Sandee's ambition and she expects to go into nursing next fall. Dick Bacher 'Ace' has made quite a name for himself as the fiddler of G. I., although he is equally at home swinging out on the clarinet. Making friends is second nature with him as well as clever puns and nonsense. Selling records and musical supplies takes up much of his time, but 'Ace' still finds time for his pet pastimes. Norma Bailey Vivacious and with a ready smile, 'Norm' has taken part in everything. Journalism seems to be tops with her, but of course, we'll never forget her as Susan in 'Ever Since Eve. Coming to G.I. from Alabama, she has lost her southern drawl, but that south- ern hospitality still remains. Being Editor of the 'Reflectorm for four years is one of her finest accomplishments. Harold Barkewitz Although a real son of the soil, 'Hal' also enjoys actively taking part in sports. His unruffled quietness is just a blind for a keen sense of humor which always pops up. We see him every noon by the boys' door greet- ing everyone with a cheery hello. As a mem- ber of the F. F. A., 'Hal' works with unsur- passable vigor. Janice Becker Full of energy and enthusiasm for each ac- tivity that pops up, 'Jan' makes a valuable and leader of the Senior class and the publications in G. If She loves member of all dancing, scribbling Cwhich results in her well known 'On the Campus'D, and takes pride in her cooking. In possessing a rare poise and a winning personality, we are sure that 'Jan' will succeed in whatever she does. ' f I A 'Z I Ni Vvpcyffs Tai' 6' es 2 . Q' ' , A. . Alul u s: it w. .J 5-12, ggi ' iv Phyllis Bennett Dark haired 'Ph1l's' infectious laugh andlYQf ready smile make her everyone's pal. Her Q' lovely hands, which are the envy of every girl, are still able to put plenty of power behind a bowling ball. Practically everything interests this all around 'gal' although her main ambition is to obtain an R. N. degree as quickly as possible. Norma Benzing Being an individualist, 'Norm'1looks, acts, and is different from her twin sister. Her ambition to be a beautician has already been realized, and through her skillfull arrange- ment of her own blond tresses, we know that she will be successful. Full of new ideas, she is always on hand to boost some class project. In the field of drama, Norma rates high and will never be forgotten for her role in 'Ever Since Eve' as Miss Willard and as the 'M. C.' at the halloween Carnival. Wilma Benzing Athletic, energetic, industrious 'Billie' if forever bustling around doing something for someone. She divides her busy minutes between sports activities, office work, and being a decorative as well as useful employee at Wallaces. That winning smile and those flashing brown eyes, make her a person that would be a grand addition to any business office, her biggest dream for the future. Robert Besse As the man about G.I.,'Hess' can usually be found rushing around with his camera in hand. The brightest of plaids are his choice in shirts, and with his crew hair-cut you can always spot him miles away. Although not the studious type, 'Hess' manages to get by. May- be 1t'S due to his sense of humor and that constant grin. Gail Blakely Full of fun, pep, and foolery, Gail enjoys a good workout on the drums as much as a timely prank. He now spends most of his spare time at Wa1ter's, but takes time out to lead us in cheers at every sports event. lost of his leisure is given over to bike riding-- 'through snow and slush we see him rushi' Edith Bly Demure, but with a gleam of mischief in her eye, Edith is an anthusiastic 'Home Ec stu- dent. Dancing is one of her favorite pas- in general will do as far as concerned. Working on the times, but fun this 'gal' is Griffonell has taken up many of her spare mo- ments while in school, and when at home she helps farm for victory. President, R. Tolan: Secretary, B.
