✓ Titles of Nobility Standing near the door of 301 was the simplest way to secure these titles of nobility. I say the door of 301 for that is the classroom which is the nearest related to the study of American democracy. All of the seniors have entered this door many times on their way to explore the facts of our American govern- ment. Soon they will have passed through this door as students for the last time. 1 hey have been instructed in the ways of our government, and it will be their duty, privilege, and responsibility to keep the principles and ideals of our democracy alive. As the seniors walked by. some characteristic of the individual passed through the mind of the onlooker and this trait was immediately jotted down. As a result we have the names and the respective titles for these seniors listed below: Bays Joe Wilcox Donald Conklin.. Noisiest Soberest Happiest Lewis Bolton Cutest Don Johnson Best Athlete Alden Burgess Dick Hinklev Best Instrumentalist Cleverest William Dibble . Nicest Smile Bernard Whitmore Edward Slocum Joe Thomas Robert Parker Prettiest Eyes Best Blusher Deepest Sleeper Most Studious Best Dancer Best Vocalist William Crawford Best Dressed |ohn Lockwood Most A mbitious Ravmond Hull.
