After every vacation Peanut brings back the latest styles from New York. She played the part of the pert little miss, “Vangie” or Evangeline in “Memory Lane”.

THE ECHO 3 RUTH CHURCHILL Union Street “ Few things are impossible to diligence and skill” Hobby: Studying Activities: Librarian, 3, 4; Pro-Merito Pin, 3; Glee Club, 1. Ruth is one of the smart members of the Senior Class. She claims she doesn’t like studying, but she gets such good marks that we think she must study, as she won salutatory honors. CAROL COULTER (Toots) South Franklin Street “ Give me time ” Hobby: Sports Activities: Athletic Drama, 2; Pro-Merito Pin, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Track, 2; Apparatus, 4; Basketball, 3, 4; Captain of Team, 4; Class Secretary, 2, 3; Echo, 4.

Yet with all her athletics Toots’ name appears on the honor roll every time. ROBERT CROSBY (Bing) South Franklin Street “ Crosby , Columbo, and Vallee ” Hobby: Living up to his reputation Activities: Glee Club, 1, 2. Bing seems to be an all-round favorite with teachers and pupils alike. He can take dictation at the rapid speed of sixty words a minute, but that doesn’t bother Bing in the least.

Ruth is one of those modest, meek maids, whose spare time is spent in guarding the office. Also her name always appears on the honor roll. MILDRED ERNEST (Mil) South Franklin Street “A jolce a day keeps sorrow away” Hobb y: Telling jokes Mil is always ready to tell jokes — especially in history class, when she tries to tell Mr. Neal that she can’t read her own writ- ing. Remember some of those times, Mil?
