PATRICIA COFFIN — Pat Is otir all-star Captain of the girls ' basket ball team and the greatest sport of all. You can always find Pat where the fun is, and yet when there ' s a Job to be done, you will find her a strong, steady worker. Sports are not her only interest, and she is very capable mentally. We know that Pat, with her fine personality, will always be a success wherever she goes. LILLIAN COLANQELO — A young lady who always surprises her admirers with sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, and shiny dark hair. We all can envy Lilllaji for these. However, her ability as a stenographer is not to be Joked about for she ' s a real whiz. You can always tell something la going on when Lillian and her friend, the so-called Fifi, get together. The black head and slightly red head close together usually la a forewarning of trouble in the camp--ajid they are always in it. However, we couldn ' t do without our Lillian who, although a serious young worker, obviously has a well-roimded personality. FREOLA FILES — Flfl as this young lady la wont to be called does not much resemble her name which perhaps seems more appropriate for little people. She is tall and admired greatly for her poise and posture which all of us could do well to follow. A great lover of sports is Fifi. Outdoor life in summer and winter meet her requirements of the ideal. She proved herself a great player in the school basket ball team winning cheers of approval for her grand sportsmanship.

ELENA CARIMA — Bright, cheerful, and meticulously clothed la o ir little girl, Elena. A whiz In the Commercial Department, she will obviously be the pride of some office In the future. Althovigh for the most part Elena Is quiet, she Is always on the spot when something Is going on. Her embarrassed giggle may often be heard when something In class goes wrong, and It Is often the cause for teasing. All In fun Elena takes it like the good sport she la, and we wish her luck In everything. CONSTANCE CLAYTON— Oh I how our Connie, for that is the name by which we know her, winces when addressed formal- ly. Although a very smart girl and student, Connie has always gone out for a lot of fun especially basket ball. However, owing to unforeseen accidents, she has always been forced to stand aside and watch the other players with envious eyes. We congratulate her for being such a good sport and hope that In the future she will have more opportunity to make the team. Violent language Is not a failing of Clayt but very often If something goes wrong, she will out with Oh Bunk much to the amusement of listeners. I am sure that Connie, despite her worry over freckles, will make a great success. JAMES COFFIN — James, commonly known as Jimmy, to all his friends Is properly considered leader of the dry humor section of our class. The study hall wouldn’t be complete without a pun from Jim, and otu? morale would certainly be lost forever without him. However, we do know that he has a very serious side to his nature. Jimmy has been accepted for the Merchant Marines, and we wish him God speed and a quick return.

GREGORY GARDNER- - Five feet two, eyes of blue Is typical of Greg Gardner, or George as he likes us to call him. His present knowledge of aviation and his -likes for all sports already have been a great asset to him. We all know that he will attain high standing In the Army Air Corp. Uncle Sam needs fellows like Gregory to win this war, and we know that he will do his part to make us come out on top. RICHARD GARDNER — The envy of the girls with blonde hair and blue eyes Is our Dick, cartoonist, camera man, and general f m maker. Love for the out of doors Is his weakness; a long hike over the trail means nothing to him. A good student, Dick, keeps his work up to stand- ard, and higher, for he passed his Navy V-12 exams — both physical and mental. We hope to see Dick an officer In the future and meanwhile wish him the success he deserves. JOHN GARSIDE — A lively member of our class Is Johnny, always ready with a Joke, and full of fun. What else could we expect from his Scotch- Irish descent? He ' s a regular wow on the dance floor and many a sweet young thing has fallen for his wave. His spirited personality and quick wit have helped us all through many a trial. There will always be a crowd of admirers following John, and we are sure that success will follow even closer. Good Luck I
