Ralph Keith Ralph says he's mechanically-minded. Heis never happier than when he's tinkering around on cars and tractors or on some kind of motor. And wonder of wonders! Ralph says he likes school. Rudolph Kaldi Ahoy, luhbers! Rudy plans to be a sailor-in fact, our class would have been one smaller had he been accepted as a recruit at the end of the first semester. But he has high blood pressure, could it be caased by the pretty brunette he goes with at Don- nellson? john Kodak Many are they who envy Johnis brains. He's got the stuff to put himself overn in this big world. He is one of the hard- working fellows in this school, and flashes a smile that doesnit work off. Howard Kepper Howard is never in a hurryg he takes things as they come- and as they go. His hobby is dancing and he likes everything but school. Carroll Lentz Although we don't know much about Carroll we succeeded in discovering that he is left-handed. We wonder if that accounts for his brilliance. Gena Krummel Remember Ferol? Well, this is her little sister. Gena has done il good job of carrying on the traditional family tricks. Her poise and popularity make her the ideal all-around co-ed jack Lewey jack has the right to claim that he is the only Lewey in the '37 class--that's something in Hillsboro. His great hobby is. driving, and his consuming ambition is aviation. Clifford Lentz The mind ought sometimes to be diverted, that it may ree turn the better to thinking. Clifford, alias Bobo, Watso, and Bumpy, is a man of many diversions, most of them harmless ones like shootin a er-wads or uttin tacks in chairs. S P P S Midge Major Her one ambition is to be an 'told maid , so she says. But from things we have heard and seen, sheis due for a total failure. And does she have an abundance of wim, wigor, and witality. Fort Lipe Coming events cast their shadows before --that was the thought that flashed through your writer's mind when she saw Fort shooting through the basketball at the beginning ofthe school year. Well-Fort has fulhlled all our predictions, and has proved himself a grand basketball player. SENIORS ,U XX! R ' 37' Page twenty-one 1

SENIORS Helenann Guthrie Now look right this way, Miss Guthrie, until we get your epi- taph written. Special features-one nose, one mouth, outstanding characteristicfvery pleasant, bosom friendg final appraisalffwe'rc sure you'll agreej-a peach of a girl. Eunice Grotts Eunice is one of our best commercial students, being able not only to pound the typewriter keys, but to write shorthand easily. She came to us from Butler and it didn't take her long to make a place for herself here. Mary Harris She's very small, but everyone knows that good things come in small packages. And blonde hair with pretty brown eyes help make an awfully attractive package. John Gutierrez Is there anything in the way of sports that john doesn't like? We don't think so, judging by his favorites-hunting, skating, swimming and boxing. Above all, he likes the beautiful senori- tasg some of them tell us that he's a grand crooner. Dorothea Hendricks Tall, blonde, and quietg of all the words in the Kings Eng- lish, these three seem to describe Dorothea best. She had to miss school a great deal of the time because of illness. Dorothy Helfers Dorothy has tried to conceal herself throughout her high school days. Her motto is It is better to be a good listener than a good talker. However, her intimate friends tell us she doesn't live up to it always. Joe Herman Joe is our nomination for the least noisy boy in all the high school. Never distracted by the opposite sex, he is able to plan and work at all his subjects with lots of concentration. Charles Herman Sees all. hears all, and says nothing-except to brother joe. That's Charles. In fact he's so quiet we couldn't even discover his ambition or hobby. Well, there's nothing wrong in keeping all your thoughts quiet. Nellie Ivie I'll be quiet and let somebody else talk, seems to be Nellie's mottofand it isn't a bad one. At least it has kept her from getting any demerits. Nellie came from Granite City just in time to graduate with our class. John Hicks Panama happens to be his stomping ground. John is one of that mysterious cult which believes that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. XV Page twenty

SENIORS .lean Mason l'Weinie was a main-stay in the center of the line for the Hiltops during the last season. As captain he led his squad through a successful football year. Of course he has spent some time going in for things more effeminate. Dorothy Maninfior She always has a gocd word for the worst of us, and a big smile for all of us. And that's not all--she's a l'shark in her classes. Dorothy promises to do the 037' class much credit. Frank Millerd We admire Frank because he reads all those books that we think are dull and uninteresting. His hobby, next to reading, is philately-in other words. stamp-collecting. Tom Maxwell He says helll hire himself out to be the life of the party for only two dollars a night. Cheap-huh? But I'Il guarantee his success. He's really quite good at that sort of thing because, after all, he's a Scotchman. Russell Myers Russell is one of those hardy men who wrest a living from the soil. He and his brother-farmers have a great time here at school discussing crops, weather, etc. Russell plays the saxaphone and drives a Model T. Hughey Morgan If I-Iughey decides to be a farmer, the world will have lost a great politician. It takes only a history question to make him ex- pound the evils and pitfalls of present-day politics. Charles McLean Cookie has wicked feetg when it comes to dancing you can't hold him down. Have you ever noticed he has a great propen- sity for blondes? That,s all right, Cookie, they say all gentlemen prefer blondes. Geraldine McCracken Jeannie says her major ambition is to be a singer. Well, it seems to me that she has fulfilled that ambition already as she has sung her way into the hearts of many of her friends. Pauline Niehaus Nec vox nec verba sequunturf' In case you haven't taken Latin that means Neither voice, nor words followfy which de- scribed Pauline very well. She really is very quiet and modest-- two becoming traits. Glenn Niehaus Glenn's favorite hobby is herding around his Model A Ford. But this is one time when a hobby comes in handy because he has about four miles to cover every morning before he reaches school. Page twenty two
