SENIORS Doris Van Alstine This tiny blonde is an optimistic sort of person, always cheer- ing us up when we are down in the dumps. She has a nice voice. too-one that fairly sings the joys of living and being a part of this great world. Dorothy Caroline Vollmar Someone should write Carole's biography. It would be filled to the brim with her smiles and chuck full of events from her busy life. Much of the success of our Hiltop is due to her, for she is our Art Editor. Jean Weingand Here we have a girl who has good-sized ideas but they are almost entirely hidden. Although she seems timid, when she's called upon she proves herself to be capable and jolly. Isabella Welsh Another Scotchman and proud of it. Well, who wouldn't be? Anyone who knows Ibby', would surely be the first to lay claims on her as a real friend. Floyd West Happy-go-lucky, carefree, irresponsible youth, Floyd proves that it isn't too hard to get through high school. Anyway, why rake Life too seriously? George Whalen George must really like school. He has to walk 314 miles to come-and even on rainy days his desire for learning over- comes his desire for comfort and he shows up. sopping wet, but quite happy Fox hunting is a great sport of his. Helen Wilson Here,s one girl who has set her purpose in life and is attempt- ing to attain it. She believes gentlemen don't prefer blondes. Well, we wonlt make any predictions but she has a good start. Marjorie Winkler Margie is gifted with one of the most coveted feminine traitsg she has nimble fingers that can sew a straight seam and make a good-looking button hole. But this isnlt the only way she is gifted which is proved by her many friends. Billie Young A real Home Ec. shark with a dandy personality. Never get the idea that a good cooku isn't popular. Herels sufficient proof. Remember, she was a candidate in the queen contest, with a good number of votes to her credit. Demova Young Not for herself but for the world she lives. Demova is kind- ness personified. She seems not at all concerned about the fast pace of this hurried world around her, but takes her time and does things thoroughly. Page twentv six

Mary Evelyn Smith This quiet lass is a perfect example of what every mother wishes her daughter to be-modest, sweet, and reserved. By the way, her name often graces the honor roll. Dena Stein Here is one girl who can swim, and swim well. In fact her whole family is gifted that way. But swimming is not Dena's only accomplishment. She has gained many friends in the few years she has been with us. Geraldine Strange A leader in her field Qsounds like a General lVlotor,s adi is our way of describing Jerry. She slings a wicked pen and isn't a bit hesitant about using it. Jerry has had a part in almost ev- ery school activity. Leo Strausbaugh Leo made a name for himself through his characterization of the poet in the play given at Sr-Jr banquet. When it comes to acting, Leo has what it takes! Virginia Taulbee Virginia's hobby is collecting handkerchiefs and her ambition is to be a nurse. She is very conscientious about her work, and we might add, about her appearance. Has anyone ever seen a single hair out of place? Eva Thompson Eva can do about anything. She says she'll decide on a career after finishing school. She might be a stenographer. Her likes: swimming, dancing. and playing duets with Esther. Wilina Titsworth Quiet? Not when you know her. Who says all girls are beautiful but dumb? Take a look at this picture and then dwell on the fact that Wilma makes very good grades. You'll have to admit that there are exceptions to the rule, and that Wilma is a good one. Margaret Toberman You can't help but admire this girl with her modesty and her simplicity. She's quiet, sometimes much too quiet-but this seems only to add to her attractiveness. John Trhlik John is just a wee bit timid with the girls. but he's a man's man. judging by the way he observes the rules and regulations of our alma mater, we predict that he will become an upright, law-abiding citizen. Ida May Turner Ida May isn't at all loquacious, but we finally found that her ambition is to be a nurse and her hobby is sewing. With two such fine accomplishments as these to her credit, won,t she make a fine wife for some man? V Page twenty- five SENIORS

Tom Melton Behold! Our class president! Tom takes the cake for being one of the ring leaders in H. C. H. S. While not busy with this ardent task, he found time to exercise his vocal cords and join Boys' Glee Club. Howard Sturgeon Howdy is Melton's man Friday. His greatest occupation is foolin' around, but once in a while he suffers a relapse and does a little school work. He even takes a little time to attend to the duties of being vice- president. Floyd King Floyd says his one and only interest in life is girls. But he did such a good job of handling the money in our class treasury that we,re sure he occasionally thinks about other things. lllllllllfoilllllllig . . 0 ofa dignified senior Bells jangle, corridors are packed, and paper wads are dis- tributed as we all trudge back to the old grind. Orchids to Skipper for having the nerve to brave the heat . . . New faces -panic stricken ones belonging to the Freshies, but they learn early to rely upon wits rather than brawn . . . Teachers go about their biz of plugging up the holes in our brains with a little knowledge . . . Population of Sr. class has dropped below par, not enough Butlerites or Donnellsonians . . . Football begins SENIORS Gene Young This spectacled lad is said to possess lots of good horse sensen, a rare but coveted quality. Gene is one grand person to talk to and he bears acquaintance. Vincent Zubel His is the last name of the alphabet and is the only NZ . But don't draw a conclusion that he is al- ways at the end of the alphabet. Among his friends he always rated first. Margie Chervenak Margie laughs and the whole class laughs with her. She possesses that rare quality. a good sense of humor, and she uses it to the best advantage. Margie likes everyone and everyone likes Margie. Miss Horner XX! P1ge twenty-seven
