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.

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.

JEM PHELPS — Here la another member of our Commercial Department whose work and good spirit have helped to put over many a difficult proposition. Jean is o ar big-hearted, all-round, swell girl, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. If you need any help, Just ask Jean. We need this kind of spirit in our world today and, Jean, the world needs them like you. Good Luck I EVERETT ROMKEY — Here is o ir lanky member of the Senior class who likes better than anything to hold forth on Socialism. Everett has studied on this perhaps more than siny other thing and has given us many interesting facts about it. We all love to tease Everett who takes it in the best spirit often returning as good as he receives. A good sport he has always supported us on projects with a willing hand and very often the use of his car. Let ' s give Everett a wish for real success in the future. NORMA SCOLLEN — Of the mamber of little girls in our class, Norma is our real Shorty,” but that fact puts her to no disadvantage. This young lady can swing it with the best on the dance floor. She can squirm, J jmp, and twist on the basket ball floor to the extent of astounding her taller opponents. Her eye for the basket 1s excellent and she ' s a good sport. Norma ' s school activities have been plentiful and ardent, and we know that her spirit will always carry her forward to success.
