FRANK HIE RLWIMMER ‘“Frankie’—Always remembered for his athletic ability showed in all Sports—a smooth dancer— was active in the Chef's Club and the Rifle Club— a member of the Octette—plans to enter the Marines—makes women his hobby. JOAN HILLMANN Joan hes quite a way with the “Fellows.” Her dramatic talent has been shown in both our plays —the brilliant squeak of her clarinet will be greatly missed in the band next year. A varsity cheerleader for 3 years, Joan is the only Senior to have a perfect attendance record for all 4 years. CHRISTINE JONES Miss Jennings’ “Girl Friday,” Chris has lent her surprising secretarial ability to the office this year and managed also to be active in sports, the Commercial Club, and the social world. Christine's ambition lies in the field of aviation and oll ne can do is wish her the best of luck. SHIRLEY LAZARUS Shirley is this year’s glamour girl, smooth dancer —leods the fashion porade with all the Ictest styles—has been a member of the Chorus for 2 years. We figure she’s a good bet for a fashion model in the future. 8 JAMES DUCEY The Dreamer—Member of the band for four years, Aviation Club, Orchestra—Jimmy's strength was lent to the football team but his mind is forever occupied by planes. His happy go lucky disposi- tion has made him one of the smilingest kids in the school. RALPH GORDINEER Ralph has been acclaimed as the greatest fullback in High School Football—he has been outstanding in basketball, baseball and track, also. We know Ralph as not only good in sports but a good sport himself. He was well liked as “Butcher Boy Bean” in the Senior Play. Member of the Rifie Club, Ralph is a swell guy and liked by all. THELMA HISSEY Thelma has the distinction of being the only mem- ber of the class to complete High School in 3 years. Her singing ability was contributed to the chorus and the Sextette. Her Journalistic power which was evident in her writing for the Courier will not doubt aid her to future success. VIOLA HYATT This dark eyed Miss has proved the slogan “Where there's a will there’s a way” in salesmanship for the Senior class. Vi has been in the Chorus for 2 years and was a member of the Handicraft Club and President of the Homemaking Club. We believe all that homemaking training will come in handy in the near future.

WILLIAM AGOR Although Billy is lacking in height, he is over- loaded with ambition—the quiet type (when he wants to be)—his hobby is raising and caring for ponies on his farm—favorite excuse is, “| had to work' '—an active member of the Rifle Club. LELAND BARGER The blond haired guy with the camera—has a fine collection of pictures—hmm??? Leland's ex- perience in the band and orchestra makes him a likely candidate for an orchestra leader—has been in the Rifle and Chef's Clubs but makes the Pho- tography Club his hobby. Has been Police Chief of the efficient police force. EDMUND BARNES The quick witted fellow with a flashing smile— chief occupation during play practice was annoy- ing Mr. Tedesco—well known actor in both the Junior and Senior plays—has played football, basketball, baseball and track—likes girls and ice cream—can be seen around town lool.ing over the ‘“prospects’’—or in the dark room collecting from the Washington trip. GUS BONIELLO “Gus has been with us since our Junior year. He has proven his worthiness in his studies and in Senior activities. A favorite with the teacher— known as an all round pal—has a very prominent sense of humor supported by umpteen volumes of jokes(?) BERNICE BUNYEA Bernice holds the undisputed title for the quietest girl in the class, but don't let her deceive you. Bernice has been known to be quite talkative in the Library, fourth period, when sitting next to a certain handsome lad. Her voice has been an asset to the Chorus for 2 years. We can best describe Bunny as “Sweet and Lovely. RUSSELL BUNYEA “Boney”, quiet and serious but quick witted— spends all his time driving around (alone ?}— Favorite subject is Solid Geometry—faithful worker in all Senior enterprises. Belongs to the Chef's Club, Rifle Club and is a member of the Track Team. We predict a golden future for him as Gordineer's manager. ALVARO CASAGRANDE The Don Juan of the Senior Class—definitely hard to get—''Peter Westley” in the Junior Play. Casta has a sharp eye for basketball and his height is handy for first base in baseball. Ambition is to own a trucking business—and, knowing our Handsome , we think it's a cinch. EDITH DAROS Although Edith has only been with us for 2 years her ready smile has proved a valuable asset to our class. A member of the Chorus, Photography Club, Student Council and the ‘Blue and Gold Staff, Edith is an all round “backer upper.”
