ELYA HANSOM Elva, the really quiet member of our class, has only been with us two years, but her friendliness in our class has been quickly re- alized and her value immeasurable. The activities she enjoys are music, clay modeling and art. It is no wonder then, that her fa- vorite subject is Geometry. Elva has a very thrifty hobby-- saving pennies. Reading is one of her pleasurable pastimes, especially books by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Roller skating and ping pong are the sports she enjoys most. She is looking forward with great pleasure to enrolling in a training course directly after graduation. Best of luck from your classmates, Elva J Roger Holt needs no introduction to most of us.

This is probably the reason why she gives dancing as her favorite sport.
