Highland Park High School - Polar Bear Yearbook (Highland Park, MI)

CHARACTER SKETCHES HOWARD RowE Bunny -a charcter sketch of Howard Rowe is contained in that one word. Bunny -the fellow with the million dollar smile. Bunny -a name that has brought fear into the many teams that the Polar Bears have met. Four years of basketball, three years of football, and one year of track are his athletic achievements. In 1923 he was captain of the gridiron squad and was given honorable mention on the all-state teams. Bunny -probably the most popular fellow in Highland Park in '25 and '2-l. He was elected to the presidency of the class of 'Z-l the first semester but was unable to accept on account of the captaincy of the football team. The second semester, however, Bunny was re-elected and certainly has piloted the class successfully. Bunny will always linger in our hearts as one of Highland Park's greatest men. MARY LOUISE MURRAY Mary Louise-is it-? Can it be-? It is-l Her name suits her looksg a fluffy, busy, little person, yet -oh, how practical. Ever since the days when she wore the little red coat and the drum major hat she has had a fascinating personality. .Ioy just seems to radiate from her, and that smile, oh that smile! It's one of those comforting, cheering ones, that's like so much sunshine. It was her youthful ambition to become a lawyer. One can easily imagine what the consequences would have been. XVhat witness could keep silence under cross-examination in her dulcet tones and what jury would have hearts so cold to melt under the warmth of her smile. The twelve good men and true would have needed no all-night sessions to reach their verdicts. lt's lucky for the morale of the bar that Mary no longer cherishes the idea of this vocation. As vice-president of the class of '24 her spirit has been dynamic in forcing the seniors on to Washington. She was student chairman of the carnival, member of the board of control and most of all-Mary Louise Murray. b JOHN GLINES What is this combination of energy. pep, and enthusiasm. that dashes around a corner, all but knocks the unsuspecting pedestrian off his feet and hurries on with a muttered, Pardon me please? This is I. Ethelbert Glines, the learned candy-paper-chaser, the editor-in- chief of the 1923 Polar Bear and editor of this year's Spectator. This -lohn of all trades, unlike the oneyof proverbial fame, is master of one, and successful, in many. Among other things he has been a Free Press salesman and a deck-hand in the summer. One- can't gointo anything with- out finding John there ahead of him, The only reason he doesn't do more is because he doesn't have any more time. During the coming season, we think Ethel must be planning to sell hair tonic or take up soap box oratory as a profession, he is so secretive about his plans. VVith all his responsibilities he neither grumbles nor grouches and it would be hard to find a better school citizen. CContinued on Page One Hundred Twenty-sixj Page Om' Hznzdrvd F0111'
