VIRGINIA MOORE “He who tries shall succeed.” “Ginnie” is a quiet but de- termined girl, who is will- ing to try, no matter what stands in the way.

LILLIAN NELSON “Always the same— quiet and kind.” We have heard she sings to. herself, -butoas she “is usually hiking, one rarely hears her. Some of her other occupations are knitting, dancing, and drawing. ROBERT MORSE “There is nothing like fun, is there?” Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the mid- night rides of Robert Morse. He and his little car have had plenty of wild rides. Have you been with him? Football 1; Operetta 3. CAROLYN NICKERSON “Her air, her manners, all who saw admired.” “Nicky” is a versatile lass with a winning personality. She is attractive, has a flair for style, plus being a scholar and athlete.

JOE MAIENZA “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Who is he? To all out- ward appearances Joe is a quiet modest youth, known to but a few of his class- mates.
