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.

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

ROBERT KEITH — Meet our Bob, the classmate, who in his quiet Influential way presides over us. Yet, he is no angel and has r m in every rat race” held from time to time. As a rule ”Mon,” for that ' s what his friends call him, is not heard above the crowd. However, we appreciate and regard highly his opinions. As our basket ball captain, Mon certainly showed his ability in sports. With the excellence he has shown in Math , and Science , we know he will be very successful next year in his study of meteorology. Best of luck, Mon . EDNA KING — Our fair, young, strawberry blonde has a giggle that we never co ild mistake. Edna 1s as lively as her mischievous eyes and is always into everything. She is active as the day is long. When posters are needed, Edna always seems to take a hand in making them, and in her spare time, is often seen copying magazine covers. Her willingness and humor are sure to get her places. We wish her all the beat. BEVERLY PARKER — Our capable secretary and all-rottnd com- petent girl runs her affairs with skill and ease. Already a full-fledged secretary, Bev has proved to us her ability to do commercial work. Further evidence of her capability is her efficient handling of this year- book— for she is no less the editor. An all-round sport, we find her always rooting for Major Edwards. As manager of our basket ball team, we could have found no better. Brains and a charming personality will see her through.
