ORTON DOWNER Ortie Without Ortie's witticisms, classes would be mighty dull! Orton has several identifying characteristics-his many jokes and hearty laugh, his ability in both baseball and basketball, and last but not , least, his friendly and flirtatious personality. Never known to commit the crime of over-studying, still he holds his own with the rest of the class. Therefore, we know he'll be a success whatever he chooses to do-we certainly wish him the best of luck.

His many money-making and money-saving ideas have often boosted our treasury during the last four years. As a teacher we know you'll do wonders, Bob.
