SYLVIA JONES Siveeg | “Beneath quiet waters lie unsuspected depths.” y| Another quiet but earnest student, Sylvia is at home on a horse. It must be nice to have that wavy hair to be blown in the wind. From her writings we assume that she should pursue a literary career. : Committees 2. GEORGE KEARNS Cus “Freckles accompany good nature.” George, on the whole, isn’t very noisy—although he assoviates almost strictly with boys. He gets his recrea- tion in the winter through skating, in the summer through baseball. Baseball 1, 2, 3; Chorus 1. ’ tuk. BERNARD KELLY 7 le, “The fun in this world is what we can least afford to miss.” Bie Bennie, the Irishman in question, is another of our fast-moving athletes.

ELEANOR KENNEY RED “The surest way not to fail 7: to determine to succeed.” We ean recall the days when Eleanor’s auburn hair hung in two braids down her back. Her colorful plaits now gone, well-groomed Eleanor is famed for her com- petence as a business woman. Remember the magazine drive ? Field Hockey 1, 2; Baseball 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2; Spotlight 3; Committees 3. HAROLD IAM AGRO WUE 75 We hereby dub (arm “the uckleberry Finn of 1940.” We don’t mean that he slings a gun over one shoulder and a rod over the other—during school time, but hunting and fishing certainly rate first as hobbies. Aviation Club 3. THOMAS KOINES : © Tommy “Life is not so short but what there is always time for courtesies,” Sure, Tommy’s quiet! He’s bashful, too. But that merely adds to his fine personality. Polite and reserved, Tommy always looks neat—even on the tennis courts. And he’s got courage—he studies Greek! Track 1; Baseball 2, 3; Basketball 3. SONNY richest fruits of IRVING LABES Irv “He taketh most delight in music.’ Recently Irving’s labor has demanded that he travel the town ‘en auto’’—a duty which to him is apparent- ly non-objectionable. Like Rubinoff and Benny, he saws away on his violin in idle moments. Soccer 2. : FRANK LAMBERT “Good nature is always remembered.” To avoid wear on his feet, good-natured Frank has taken to the saddle—the bike saddle. Sort of an Over- land Express in himself, he sees to it that the news- papers get where they’re going. [19 ]

Basketball 1, 2; Baseball 1, 2; Football 1; Swing Club 8; Athletic Club 3; Committees 38; Operetta 3. EDITH McCAMMOND TWEEDIE “Let us enjoy pleasure while we can.” Tweedy youthful in manner and appearance who refuses to worry about the future, is right in the groove where horseback riding is concerned. Funny thing, though, her lengthy telephone confabs never seem to leave her ‘‘hoarse.’’ Rees Club 3; Committees 3. exc: McCAUSLAND NAN 23 “She is of nature mild and benign,’ Quiet Naney has a variety of hobbies. In summer she So” passes the time swimming, riding, and playing tennis; ry 7 however, when she ean no longer enjoy these active r sports, she turns her full attention to stamp-collecting. sor Yearbook; Dramatic Club 8; Committees 2. MARY McCORMACK “Cameo Lady.” Mary’s charm is in her polished ‘‘parlez’’ and her laughing: eyes. In her rare moments alone, she beats out rhythm on the keyboard; on moonlight nights,, she turns to skating. Basketball 1, 2; Archery 2; Yearbook 3; Science Club 3; Committees 1, 2, 38. MARY McDONOUGH “The blessedness of being litile.” Mary, one of the tiniest girls in the class, almost be- ‘ves that silence is golden.

When she tires of Beethoven or Goodman, she resorts to reading to pass the hours away. Yearbook Staff 3; Chorus 1. MARY McLAUGHLIN GINGER “A mixture of red hair, pep, and good fun.’ Chatter and Mary go hand and hand; sunny hair matches sunny disposition. Apparently Mary likes every- thing; and dislikes nothing. Sports—most especially ten- nis and basketball—she follows with ereat interest. Yearbook Staff; Chorus 1, 2, 8; Baseball 1; Swing Club 3; Foreign Correspondence Club 3. RUTH McMAHAN RUFUS “There is little of the melancholy element in her.’ Which one of us has not encountered li’i Rufus’ fine disposition? And say—she’s tops on taps!
