TWEEDDALE, MARILYN Orchestra 4. As the only engaged Senior girl, Marilyn has her future all decided for her. A newcomer, she has made many friends by her gay laugh and sweet disposition, and h s become u ell known for her tardy arrivals at orchestra practice. VOLPE, VINCENT “Vin” “Vin,” our handsome, dark Cas- anova, is another Senior who left us in January. His crazy way of driving his car, not only amused us all, but also took our breaths away. His laughing dark eyes and gay personality endear him to all. WEISS, HARVEY M “Harve” Manager of Basketball Team; Band; Orchestra; Musical Comedy; Business Manager Comet” Year- book staff. Harve rushes through his school life, one minute as the manager of the basketball team, another min- ute serving Mias Spink in the orch- estra, and another trying desper- ately to sell yearbook subscrip- tions. No wonder, Harve, rushing around with his pockets bulging, always has his hair standing on end. There just isn’t time for everything, is there, Harve? WELLINGER, F. RUSSELL “Ruu” Fire Squad 4. Tall, good-looking, and witty, Rus- sell is a favorite with his class- mates because of his common- sense remarks. Rather modest, Russell concealed his ability for speech-making until his senior year. He has long been interested in forestry and after graduation plans to attend a foreitry school. WESNOFSKE, RICHARD ‘‘Dick” Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Baseball 4; Vice-President of Homeroom 4. Dick” is famous for his woman appeal and sporty clothes as well as for his ease and sardonic wit. Everyone agreed that his portrayal of “Dicky” in the Senior play seemed to come easy for him. Versatile, handsome Dickie has been voted our best athlete. WEYER. WALTER “Oscar” Walt, with his enticing smile and determined pace, seems to be a man of mystery. Oscar, as he is known to all his pals, has been a wonderful help in the print shop during the publication of the Year- book and numerous other printed materials. A good-natured and popular fellow, he has all the female hearts palpitating in greal expectation, but with no results.

These, added to his wavy brown hair and enthusiastic “hi-ya,” have made him a popular fellow among boys and girls alike, and one who will be missed by the lower class- men. Earl plans to become a press- man and the printing work of the school shop bears the mark of his skill. WROSZ, HELEN MARY “Slat.” “Comet” Yearbook Staff; “Comet” Newspaper Staff; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play; Library Club; Alpha Society Treasurer. Petite Helen, who dislikes tall girls who say “Why are you so short?”, came to us in our junior year and met with instant popu- larity because of her charm and gaiety. One of our best-dressed girls, her excellent taste was a big help in planning the yearbook. WYSOLOVSK1, MARIE Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; Badminton; If you ever want to show your skill in badminton, don’t try it out on Marie, for she is certain to beat you.
