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

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.

DONALD HARTER — Don, to us and all of his friends, is thought of primarily as the class orator. We consider Don a young genius In his ability to hold forth on any subject and really make It worth listening to. Many times he has represented his school and with the greatest success. Don Is Interested not only In oratory, but for the future, his attention is also fixed upon aeronautics. He hopes some day to be an aeronautical engineer, and we wish him the best of luck and are sure of his completing this plan. JOHN HYNES--HOW we shall miss our tall, blue-eyed, take your time classmate, John. However, he Is far from slow — at Mathematics he Is a wonder, his calculating ability Is amazing I One of the boiler-room gang, he la not lacking in humor often having kept his classmates literally roaring. Hla personality will soon be a part of the U. S. Air Corps, and we are certain he will keep ' em flying high. To you, John, we also wish God speed and happy landings . KARAL JELSKIS — Without Karal, I do not believe the Class of ' 43 could ever get along. For school spirit and all- round good sportsmanship, we must admit that Karal can- not be beaten, and we appreciate the work that he has done for us. Although not on the basket ball team, he faithfully rooted and cheered them on, managing the boys with capability as only he could. As assistant editor of the year book, he is to be congratulated for the work and time he has spent. Our best wishes go with Karal In whatever he may do, for we know that he will do It well.
