KATHRYN MARIE RICE Kay Miss I liman's Here’s a girl who keeps up the senior reputation for being dignified.

GEORGE ROE uRoey” Lehigh George is one of the boys who helps the rest of us to be dignified while in school.

ROE Walt Roey is one of those boys who keep things lively at school. Wherever he is, he can explain the in’s and out’s of everything and ask the most perplexing questions. His classes are very popular because he and the teacher do most of the talking, although we are afraid there is more talking than work done by him. Garnet and Gray (2).
