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. ,

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

RUTH CLARA SIION Ruth's changeable eyes are like the swirling whirlpools of the disturbed sea. Her original remarks have turned many a dull situation into a side splitting affair. Those drapey-off-the- shoulder fashion sketches that Ruth is con- stantly drawing set the pace of the fashion aims of the Senior girls. Her artistic temper- ment is shown in her proficiency in ballet and art work. The backbone of the basketball team, Captain Simon has spurred the team on to vic- tory many times. Despite all her extra curric- ula activities Ruth usually manages to hit High Honor. EINARD MATHEW'WARPULA If Einard were to pen a book, it would certainly be titled 'My Car, My Car.' His trusty little 'Chevy' is the smoothest running car on the road because of Einard's care. One of the more de- pendable boys of the class: Einard can always be counted upon to do more than his share in any class undertaking. 'We're forever blcwing'Bub- bles.' Pretty 'Bubbles' in the air.n Is this the origin of Einard's strange nickname, ' Bub- bles,' or could it be 'Super Suds! Super Suds! Lot's more suds from Super Suds!' WALTER HOWARD PIKE Although 'Pikey' has been serving in Uncle Sam's lhvy for the past year, he is as much a part of our class as though he were here. His original ideas have accounted for mary of the lovely hall decorations we have used, particu- larly the Junior Prom. Gay, fun-loving, care- free ---- that's Howard. He was a peppy cheer- leader and spurred the teams on to many victo- ries with his enthusiasm and vim. we are proud to present Pikey as our representative to the Navy and a grand fellow to know.
