MAE HANNA CHIC ‘It is good to look upon her cheerful mood.” Chie, a lover of life, enjoys singing and dancing. Another of our jitterbugs, she can really dance. Anxious to tackle everything, she skates well and bowls every chance she gets. Archery 2; Foreign Correspondence Club 38; Spotlight 3; Committees 3. GLORIA HANSON TERRY “Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece.” Graceful Gloria is the goldilocks of the class. And she knows just what to do with her enviable blond tresses. Although the merest bit shy, she is a real friend, to those , ere, LE . GEORGE HARMON Kherge “T value science, none can prize it more.” Rather indifferent to classical subjects, but none-the- © . less capable. George’s inclinations are mathematical. He exercises his technical learnings by frequent sessions at a chess board. Soceer 1, 2, 3; Tennis 1, 2, 2; Chess Club 3; Math Club 3. BARBARA HATFIELD BARBY “Size 1s no indication of ability.” Petite Barby—that animated wisp of personality—is an expert swimmer, an extensive reader, a smooth dancer, and an energetic dabbler in everything from writing poetry to playing (7?) tennis. Oh, yes, and we want to say she’s partial to Glenn Miller’s serenades!

WALTER HEMMINGSON WALLY $b of : JY Ce “A popular combination of student and athlete. A yregulavy fellow and a good student, Wally took a ereat interest in football and proved himself to be an excellent player. In our opinion, this good-looking h specimen is a typical Lexington man. , ‘ Football 3; Baseball 2, 3; Student Council 3. b] MARION HESS Manny) “The will to do, the soul to dare.” Marny’s cheerful willingness would take her far, even had she not that strength of purpose and “infinite capacity for taking pains’? which make us sure. she will be as capable a nurse as she has been fine a friend. Arehery 2; Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3; French Club 2, 3; Dramatic Club 3; Camera Club 3; Senior Play; Ghorus 1, 2;. 3. HERVEY HEYWOOD A little nonsense now and then.” Hervey has a wry sense of humor and a super-smooth style of dancing. He craves less homework and more leisure to devote to aviation and photography. His name graces the Honor Roll, so we conclude that he gets along without the leisure very well. Track 2; Yearbook 3; Math Club 2; Aviation 3. BARBARA HILLIARD BARBIE “Serene, resolute, and still.’ Barbara, quiet and sincere, is a real friend and an undaunted worker. When a task needs to be done, she sticks to it until it’s done correctly.
