PHYLLIS LEE LILJIGREN Whenever we march down to assembly to the fa- miliar strains of 'The Grand March' we think of Phyllis' fine m sical accomplishments. She has been playing the piano for many years and has become quite proficient at it. One of the few seniors to belong to the Glee Club, Phyllis has been a loyal member for four years. Al- though Phyllis is not interested in her studies, she takes an active interest in all the social functions connected with the school. we shall remember her fine portrayal of 'Miss Howard' in our Senior Class Play. ALBERT JOSEPH MDIBAN RICHARD FRANCIS MULLIGAN 'Al' is a good scout who can be counted on to do his share in many class undertakings. Definite- ly not the scholastic type, 'Al' cou1dn't exact- ly be termed a 'ladies' man,' but he.has a cer- tain way with the girls, perhaps it's his good- natured friendliness and excellent manners. Be is one of the best dancers in the class and he genuinely enjoys gliding about the dance floor. e will long remember Al as snapping his fingers and saying 'No, drat it! You're not the one,' in the Senior Class Play. Another member of the 'Leachmere Club,' 'Dickie' is the most talkative fellow in the class.Cheer- ful, lackadaisical, Dick enjoys inventing im- promtu variations on popular Jive tunes. Give him a set of drums and he'd end up as a second Gene Krupa. If he had any more desks the seniors would have to charge him room and board. Many a time Dickie has 'snagged' a bullet-like pass and tossed in a barnyard shot. If Dick worked as hard on his studies as he does on basketball, he would surely hit the top of the Honor Roll. I

All CATHERINE JLIDRON One of the most outstanding Seniors, Ann is proficient in virtually everything. Her thor- ough, scholarly approach to her studies always leads her to the top of the Honor Roll. Chief exponent of the drama, Ann has turned in many magnificent acting performance.. The spine- chilling tones of 'Jump, why don't you jump?' rang out long after she won the Public Speaking Contest. A capable basketball guard, Ann won a swimmer's scholarship to the National Aquatic School last summer. Ann's ingenuity, dry, caustic wit and intelligence make her a valua- ble addition to any gathering. , C- 1 ,qj . PAUL LEONARD KIIHBY If the seniors were to hold another class elec- tion, President Kenney would surely be elected to a fifth term. Quiet md unassuning, Paul is the good-natured object of many class jokes. 'Pres' has been the stabilizing influence in class meetings and Student Council sessions. His 'Is there any more bus1ness?' has inter- rupted many irrevelant discussions. Despite his seemingly serious and bashful demeanor, Paul can really appreciate a good joke. He of- ten startles us with his unexpected candor. we wonder whether 'Pres' has yet found out when the school co mittee is meeting. IDA RITA LBGROS If Rita had her way, she would roller-skate her way through school. She possesses an un- assuming friendliness and candor that have won her countless friends not only in the senior class but also the lower grades. Although she is not interested in school work, Rita is a vi- tal addition to any class activity. She was a reliable guard for the senior team in the in- ter-class basketball games. Her part in the Samba Dance put on by the Seniors at Ha1lowe'en was admirably accomplished. Rita's ability to converse will stand her in good stead after graduation.

RAYMOND JUSEPH OKERMAN 'There's 'Okie' going through for a ten yard gain.' How many times this remark: has been aimed at Ukie's basketball playing. Neverthe- less, he is a good player, being aggressive and fast. He is another 'Leachmere,' and he made a fine representative to the Sportsmanship Coun- cil. His argumentiveness has embroiled him in many difficulties, but he usually escapes un- harmed. When he wants to, Okie can make the Honor RollQ as he proved this year. We'll nev- er fcrget the results when Okie attacked typing with his typical aggressivenessl r ALVAN HIGH POUTENIS Alvan is the acknowledged superman of the class- His great physical strength has won him a repu- tation as a potential prize fighter or wrestlea Alvan has a preference for strenuous workouts at the Shirley Recreation Center and nightly drives in search of adventure. Although Alvan is often the subject of a practical joke, he seldom holds any malice against the class jest- ers who take delight in confusing him. A trav- eling man, Alvan has many acquaintances among the feminine inhabitants of the surrounding towns. Alvan often succeeds in making the Honor Roll. FLOYD GEORGE RILEY Versatile, that's Floyd. Besides being'presl- dent of the Athletic Association, he has the difficult task of keeping the finances of the class straight. Floyd's floorwork on the bas- ketball court is the envy of all sports' enthu- siastsg his speed and perfect timing make him an all-around athlete. we think Floyd should exercise that perfect timing when he is driving a car. One of the senior 'Quiz Kids,' Floyd really has a brain although he hates to show it He amazed everyone with his spirited perform- ance in the Senior Class Play. ,
