ai wor HER VOICE WAS EVER SOFT, GENTLE, AND LOW, AN EXCELLENT THING IN WOMAN Audrey will always be remembered as the perfect lady of the Class of 50. Never have we seen Audrey ruffled in the least by circumstances. Her presence of mind, her winning smile, and her friendly personality, have earned her much popularity. The best of luck to you at college, Audrey, although we don ' t think you will need it! Class Vice-Prsideent 2; Student Council 2; Honorary Member of the Women ' s Club; MESA Staff; Cheerleader 2, 3; Junior Prom. GOOD SENSE WHICH ONLY IS THE GIFT OF HEAVEN Shirley ' s treasured gift of common sense has been an asset in our class meetings. Many of our problems hove been solved by her excellent advice. Shirley ' s mouth can curve into a most cheerful and welcome smile at a moment ' s notice. She is one who admits laughingly, Oh, I ' ll probably wind up as some poor fellow ' s dutiful wife. Well, we think he ' ll be a mighty lucky man, Shirley. Class Secretary 1; MESA Staff; School Paper 1, 3; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Cheer- leader 3; Sophomore Hop; Basketball Manager 3. MUCH MAY BE SAID ON BOTH SIDES ' Tall, dark, and good-looking — that ' s Pete, the merrymaker of our class. What would his classmates have done without his sense of humor? What would the teachers have done without his convincing arguments? Peter can talk us into practically anything. With his ambition to succeed we all knaw Pete will be a praminent salesman in coming years. MESA Staff; Junior Red Cross 2, 3; Junior Play; Baseball 1; Basketball 3. A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN RICHES amer when a burst of laughter breaks the silence of an otherwise quiet class, you know that Judy is there. Along with her sense of humor goes a fine acting ability. Her superb job in the Junior Play won Judy a great amount of well-deserved praise. May you attain your every wish, Judy! Echo Staff 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom; Junior Play; Basketball 1.

a • ' GENTLE OF SPEECH, BENEFICENT OF MIND ' Whenever you enter Room No. 5 your eyes ore bound to travel in the direction of a thoughtful-looking young man. Why? John happens to be the only mole member of the Commercial Department, and we have a vague suspicion that this has made him something of a philosopher. His plans for the future are concerned with joining Uncle Sam’s mariners, to sail the mighty seas. Anchors oweigh, John. National Honor Society, Echo Staff; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4. ■ A MERRY HEART MAKETH A CHEERFUL COUNTENANCE” A year ago, Mary came to us from Clinton High, and soon proved that their loss was definitely our gain. Her keen sense of humor and endless supply of jokes has been priceless to our class. Mary is undecided about her plans for the future, but we all feel quite confident in our Mary ' s ability and we know she will be a success. The best of luck, Mary! Echo Staff; Basketball 4. DUTIES WELL-PERFORMED AND DAYS WELL-SPENT” We always feel confident that Bev has the situation well in hand. Give her a job to do, and she finishes it quickly, efficiently, and, so it seems, effortlessly. Beverly, the field of journalism is looking for promise such as yours. You will succeed, and what is more, you will never lack friends! National Honor Society; Honorary Member of the Women’s Club; MESA Staff; Chorus 1, 3, 4; Junior Play; Sophomore Hop; Junior Prom. “CONTENT TO FOLLOW WHEN WE LEAD THE WAY” Janice is the quiet lass of the Senior class. She rarely, if ever, raises her voice to compete with her noisier classmates. We can always depend upon Janice for a helping hand when there is work to be done. The best of lu:k, Janice, from the Class of 1950. MESA Staff; Echo Staff 4; Chorus 2, 4.
