SINGING A SONG — “Al” is the class s outstanding jitterbug who divides his time between the A. and P. and school. His fun- loving manner and freckles have made Al a pal to all. — “Tootie,’ Frances Savino, is the petite member of the class participating in basketball, Chorus, and “THE MAHOPACKAGE.” She makes up for her size in energy and willingness to ‘do things. Besides, who will forget her big brown eyes? — Carolyn is the truest blond in the class and goes for art in a big way. Always helping and handy, Carolyn is in the Chorus and on the staff of “THE MAHOPACKAGE..” — “Edie Spiotti is the best noted for the way she wields her hockey stick and sinks baskets. She is a member of the Girls’ Reserve and Chorus. Our other Vir- ginia, of the beautiful hands, isa hard worker, a good friend to all, and has definite artistic ability. = Letha, the class beauty, receives credit where it is due. Be- sides looking lovely, Letha lends her soprano voice to the Chorus. — “Glo” is one of those girls who is in everything going on. One always finds her singing, laughing, and dancing; and she knows how! Gloria will surely be successful in her chosen profession, nursing, because of her pleasant, cheerful friendliness. — Last we come to Anita, our “Trudie,” who finds much enjoyment in classic literature and art. Her sincerily and quest for knowledge add to her already attractive personality. There is, however, one without whom our senior story would not be complete. To Mr. Cunningham goes the appreciation of the Seniors for his untiring efforts to make Washington real to us. His sense of humor and grand personality made him our choice for class adviser for three years. Georce Hunt Puyuus E. Hyatt Joun Lorin Mary Putnam ALFRED Ruu FRANCES SAVINO Caro.yn A.

CAPIRALIS TS ON: Viele aig OR many moons the Senior Tribe worked and struggled to earn wampum to take a big trip. This wasn t just an ordinary one, but a long journey to the home of the great white father, where they would visit some of the best and largest tepees in the nation. Anyway, after holding various pow wows and heap big plays, we took the iron horse from New York on Monday, April 14, 1941, and started on the great adventure. Just to make sure we didn t get lost, we invited two counselors, Miss I lodge and Mr. Cunning- ham, to accompany us; and well never forget all they did for us while we were in the great city. Our gide was none other than “Doc,” medicine-man, Burden, who also served as guide for the four other tribes on tour. Of course, you Can imagine what Washington did to us poor little country Indians! Everyone had some special thing to keep under his scalp for many moons to come. Some of us liked the home and office of the oreal chief, while others were satisfied to rest their moccasins at the new residence of the nine old men. The young bucks and braves were most interested in the F. B. |. where some of the best tomahawk wielders in the land come from. We want wampum! ’ was the cry of the Scotch Indians as they cast their eyes upon stacks and stacks of it in the Treasury. These places were fun, but what sentimental Indian from the land of the sky blue waters doesn t like to see the more imposing side of Washington? We did, and these I 8 g
