JEAN COMMONS “Nice things come in little packages.” Remember the little colored girl in our senior play? That was tiny Jean all blackened up. | doubt if shell ever forget the time she had getting that make- up off. Incidently Jeannie does a neat job of reciting. Senior Play; French Club 1; Archery 1; Spotlight. ROY COOK “A sunny temper gilds the edges of life’s blackest cloud.” Roy's eternal cheerfulness and fellowship make him the sort of person without which life at school, or for that matter anywhere, would be incomplete. We might wish him the best of luck, but such is the man that it is quite unnecessary. Baseball 1; Volley Ball 1; Bas- ketball 3. JOAN COMMONS “She is good as she is fair.” It can easily be seen by the picture that Joan enjoys having a good time. She may look quiet, but get her interested and you will find she can talk on almost every subject. Tennis 1; Band 2; Orchestra 1. FRANCIS CULBERTSON “And still be doing, never done.” Fran is a welcome addition to our Class, as he would be anywhere. Perhaps, this is because of his Scout work in which he is very active. We have less hesi- tation in saying it of him than we would of anyone else. He is and always will be an asset. RITA CONVERSE “It's the little things that count.” This is Rita. What would school be like without her? To her life is just one little chat after another. Every- one knows Rita as her cheerful smile has won her a host of friends. Job Hunting Club 1. PHILLIP CURRA “Smile and be happy.” Phil is the strong, silent type and the possessor of a captivating smile. He has almost exhausted the libra- rys supply of exciting novels, he gallops through them so quickly.

ROMEO BUSA “Little mite full of dynamite.” Romeo, with his technique, grace, and speed, is a joy to behold on a gridiron or basketball” tloor lt 1s not only the athletic coaches who will grieve to see him go, but his classmates, all of whom are his friends. Basketball; football; President of Blue and Gold Club. HELEN CHRISTENSON “A form of life and light, laugh- ing eyes and manner bright.” Helen flits around having fun, enjoying everyone and everything. However, she finds time to make a thorough fine job of her many and diversified activ- ities. @iGA Ora laBaseballal: DOROTHY BYRNE “Oh why should life all labor be.” Dorothy, whose dancing ability is the envy of many, will surely make a success- ful stenographer, for her sense of rhythm «should make the old typewriter hum. ASA. ELIZABETH CLANCY “Style is the dress of thought”. Anyone who can dress the way Bette dresses will al- ways have a crowd around. Her friends will testify that spontaneous laughter, good sense of humor, and ever- lasting high spirits are hers. Everyone agrees that there is one and only ‘'Bette.” Field Hockey 1, Manager; Bas- ketball; Archery. THOMAS CHAMPNEY “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” Silence, despite its prover- bial worthiness, has in the case of Tom, forestalled any reading of his inner charac- ter. Through his cheerful- ness, sincerity, and courtesy he has acquired many true friends. Soccer 1; Track 2; Travel Club. MILDRED COCHRANE “She is a winsome wee thing’. Millie is cute, attractive, friendly, and although very tiny, she make us realize that good things come in small packages. Those who know her will surely vouch for her genuine quality.

ERNEST CUTTER “Eyes of mischievous blue.” Who's behind those mas- terful blue eyes? Why, of course, Ernie, who hates to miss activity. He is every- one’s friend and has a con- genial nature. Football 1; Tennis 2; Operetta 8h. HILDA DOLAN “She possessed a talent of pro- ducing effect in whatever she did.” Where would all the dan- ces and social events of our school have been if it were not for Hilda's unique ad- vertisements? It would be sad even to think of it. She has contributed much of her time in helping our school paper with her clever cartoons. Our school certainly is deeply indebt- ed to her. Field Hockey 1; Tennis 1; Arch- ery 1; Yearbook 2; Spotlight 1.

RICHARD DUNHAM “Quiet fellow full of fun.” Although quiet and unas- suming, Richie rarely misses a trick. Outside of school, his one love is the wide open spaces.
