ISABELLE VENDIT UOLI Glee Club 1-2-3-4: Opcretta 4. Bella's sparkling personality has gained her many friends. You will find her smiling at any hour of the day. How she does it. we can never know. As she is very appreciative and patient, we're sure she will get along in life. We surmise that she will be the first one of our class to be married. She aided the success of the Operetta by lending her voice to the rest of our songbirds. We are not quite sure of her future destination, but who knows?-perhaps she'll be keeping house. LESTER JOSEPH WAINWRIGHT Baseball 4: Basketball 3-4. Butts is one of that illustrious group known as the A'Bay Spring Gang . His love of a good card game is second only to his interest in sports. Butts' specialty is a green shirt with bright suspenders. He and Hawkes make a fascinating pair. When near girls, he rare- ly speaks more than three words. Tackle your problems as you do a basketball game, Butts, and you'll win out. :Ir 5,504 W 0 Glee Club 2-3-4.

Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and irresistible smile are the envy of many. Vivian hasn't made up her mind as to what she will do after graduation, but the best wishes of the class of thirty-seven are with her. WILLIAM WINDLE National Broadcasting Company:- Have for you another Boake Carter, who keeps up to date on world events-is very conservative-plays a trombone-is one of the editors of The Informer-has a hard time spelling such words as forty--plans to be a draftsman-is very well liked, and when you get to know him, you won't wonder why. 28
