es he POLLY DIBBLE ‘Wit is the flower of imagination.” Pretty Polly is a subtle blend of wit and savoir faire. Her tastes, leaning slightly toward the luxurious — theatre, symphonies, art — have made her an interest- ing conversationalist and a stimulating and charming acquaintance.

She is toy- ing with the idea of becoming a nurse. Basketball 8; Science Club 3. JEAN EMERY JEANIE “Thought is deeper than all speech.” Hither swishing along a ski-trail or slashing a tennis } » ball is Jean’s idea of something real to do. She knows clothes and how to wear them.

EARLE EMPEY REGGIE “Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.” Give a4 man a gun and a boat, and tall tales should ‘ result. Blue-eyed Earle finds his greatest interests in these two.

DOROTHY FIGENBAUM Dor “Sill waters run deep.” Studious Dot can always take time out to plunk on the piano and to indulge in her favorite sports, namely skiimg and skating.
