ROBERT SILL, the business manager of this annual, and a W.V.C., was captain of the golf team, vice-president of the Senior Honor Society, and tried swinging a tennis racquet. He has, we find, concrete opinions, thoroughly mixed and permanently set. . . . HELENE BUTZ, the other business manager has been a most thoughtful worker in her quiet and dependable way. She belonged to both the Junior and Senior Honor Societies, was secretary of the D.D.V., and belonged to the Chemistry Club. . . . ANNE ELLEN CONNOR certainly practices the rules which win in the game of friendship. She has long been an Orchestra member, belongs to the D.D.V. and Discussion Club, is the annual advertising manager, and president of the C.P.T. . . . A D.U.X. who has tried cross country, JOHN DAVIS, finds that he takes to the tcurff” like a race horse. John is the other advertising manager of the annual. . . . HELEN RIDGELY is easily identified by her opening question, What’d ya’ do in class today?” Helen, the Senior Honor Society treasurer, trouper in Showdown” and a member of the Chemistry Club is an A.E.P., who has sold plenty of annuals. . . . Another salesman, DAVID McDOWELL, rates high in more than one way, as a first class musician, track man, and officer of the Senior class. . . . JOAN CREAHAN, an ingenious combination of friendliness and sportsmanship is the S.U.S. president, was vice-president of the Sophomore class, and an active member of G.A.A. She found time, however, to sell annuals too. . . . WILLIAM PROSSER doesn’t hesitate to tell you to quit your com¬ plainin’ ” and then sells you an annual before you know it. Bill belongs to the Commercial Club. ... It is evident DOROTHY KAEHLER holds lofty” positions for she was first vice-president and then president of the S.A.H., and drum major of the Girls’ Band besides selling annuals. . . . Not girls, but grades have been the aim of JEAN PICK- ART. He was vice-president of the Radio Club, went out for basketball, participated in The Gondoliers” and is an Annual Staff member. . . . For an example of a modest woman and true,” we look to JEAN BROWN. She horned in the Band, was a member of the G.A.A., S.A.H., and Chem¬ istry Club, and typed for the Annual. . . . JOHN SCHIL¬ LING could be a millionaire if silence was golden. He was bookkeeper of the Annual, played on the varsity tennis team, and was a member in the Varsity and Commercial Clubs. . . . Lookable, likeable GENE FERGUSON was a member of the C.P.T., G.A.A., Chemistry Club, Camera Club, and the Annual Staff.

CHARLES WELTER ' S membership in the Senior Honor Society and his editorship of the Annual prove that he is not only one of our most brilliant Seniors, but that he is capable of great responsibilities. He is vice-president of the W.V.C., a member of the Chemistry Club and the golf team-The other editor, MARY JANE CORNS, is thor¬ oughly modern and progressive. She was secretary of the Junior Honor Society, a member of the S.U.S. and the Senior Honor Society, and chairman of the Art Club Ad¬ vertising Board. . . . CLARA JEAN THIEL, one of the few who will not forsake her work for pleasure, has been a member of both Honor Societies, the Commercial and Chemistry Clubs, and the S.A.H. . . . We all agree that JACK KINSEY is far above par. He presided over the Senior Honor Society during the first semester, and held membership in the W.V.C. and Student Council. He moved fast on the tennis courts, but the staff failed to note the same speed at 3:15. . . . BLAZ LUCAS made a good begin¬ ning and a better end.” He is president of the Senior Honor Society and the D.U.X., vice-president of the Student Council and the Senior class. He has been on the football team for four years. . . . With a hand to do and a head to plan, ELINOR TANNEHILL has attained prominence in every activity she has entered. She was president of the Junior Honor Society, vice-president of the G.A.A., secre¬ tary of the Senior Honor Society, and treasurer of the T.J.C. ... A woman nobly planned to comfort and command is JOAN LE BOEUF, treasurer of the S.A.H., a member of the Senior Honor Society, G.A.A., Annual Staff and Mixed Chorus. . . . Whatever ERNEST LEISER said we could be sure was right. Although he left Horace Mann in the latter part of the school year, we have not forgotten that he was a Senior Honor Society member and on the Student Council, besides being basketball manager. . . . The president and former secretary of the G.A.A., RUTH GROSS, is a S.U.S. member and was on the inter-club council. Always chic, spic, and span; she docs whatever she possibly can. . . . DICK FRANCE, past president of the W.V.C. and the Camera Club, snaps up every opportunity. He has been in the Junior Honor Society and the Art Club. . . . The Annual Staff’s Art Editor, ETHYL GERGELY, belongs to the Biology Club and G.A.A. and used to be in the Orchestra and Mixed Chorus. We all agree that, sans knocks, highly efficient Ethyl” always makes the grade. . . . Reserve is one of the first qualifications of our lady, EULALIA TERWILLIGER. She is in both the Junior and Senior Honor Societies, in the S.A.H. and G.A.A. and the Com¬ mercial Club. ... A lover of books but too friendly to be a book-worm, VICTORIA HACK took time to join the G.A.A., the Commercial, Biology and Chemistry Clubs. She was also in Showdown” and in two operas, Bohemian Girl and Erminie.”

What can wc say about JESS ADAM¬ SON when he himself is so quiet? Hand-ball and Chemistry Club were his major activities. ... A little girl from New Philadelphia, Ohio, a mem¬ ber of our Glee Club, and a participant in the Opera is VIRGINIA AUSTIN, who loves that quotation from Shakes¬ peare, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” . . . There’s music in that woman, ROSEMARY BAUER. The way she played the fiddle” in the Concert Orchestra is sufficient proof. She also was an energetic S.A.H. worker. . . . ROGER ATKINS’ fav¬ orite song is I Wish 1 Were Aladdin” after playing the part of Mr. Ladd in the Junior Play. Roger was a member of the Dramatic Club and provided humor for the Gondoliers.” . . . Mixed Chorus, Glee Club, Art Club, G.A.A., and D.D.V. were the activities of LUCILLE BAILEY. Du bist wie eine Blumc, so hold und schoen und rein.” ... Is GORDON BAIN a bain” to anyone’s existence? We think not. . . . HAROLD BELSON, a member of the Discussion Club and Junior Play cast, used to feel as happy as a big sun flower. By the way, whatever happened to all cf ' hose little buttons you wore last fall, Harold? . . . True to her word, her work, and her friends, HELEN ELIZABETH BARAN may be proud of her membership in G.A.A., the Commercial Club, and the Newstaff. . . . We have enjoyed having SHIRLEY MIKE” BROWNE with us this year. A transfer from McKeesport, Pennsyl¬ vania, she became a member of the S. A.H., G.A.A., and Commercial Club. ... If only courtesy could make up for lack of promptness, FRED BORNS would always be on time. Band, R.O. T. C., Opera, and Radio Club were Fritzy’s” activities. . . . NORMA BROWN’S policy is to know why things are so. G.A.A., Biology Club, and Commercial Club made up Nor¬ ma’s list of activities. . . . We imagine LLOYD BECKWITH of the Concert Orchestra and the Opera became aw¬ fully bored with hearing Two butter¬ scotch cones, please!”
