JOAN A. BROOKS ae Joan became a welcome addition to the class in the eighth grade, and since then, has shared equally in the weals and woes of the group. She owns an ample re- serve of shyness, a sizable control of temper, and a great deal of patience and understanding. Ii!ness forced her out of basketball and softball. Her hobbies are many, including clay animals and classical phonograph records. Her friendliness and personality guarantee her work as a future nurse.

LOUISE 13 -BUGKE “Bucky” Lively and fun-loving, Bucky has definitely added that certain something to our class. Her good-natured ways and pleasant disposition have endeared her to many at M. H. S., while her diligence and capability have ranked her high among the teachers. Always cheerful and cooperative, Bucky can be counted on to assist in any special project. She is very much interested in sports, and has been a dependable forward on the Green Hornettes basketball team; also her ability as a cheerleader has been quite a factor in helping the cheering squad win a cup for outstanding performance.

JOAN G. CAPEK “CGapy Sociability and pleasantness are outstanding features of Joan’s spiritual make-up. Along that line, she rates one of the top spots among all the members of the class. She has a knack of discovering something enjoyable in everything she does, and such talent makes for a most agreeable companion at all times. All sports strike a responding chord within her, even though she stresses Swimming and basketball in her own life. She envisions no definite occupation for post-school time, but our best wishes accompany her ultimate choice.

THOMAS KK. BARNES “Tokey’ Tokey’s handiest tools in shaping the success of his life are the bigness of his heart and the iron character of his will. Thus equipped, he has yet to fail in the attainment of his goal. He has ever shown an abundance of group spirit and endorses events for all he is worth. He uses most of his spare moments living up to his reputation of class cartoonist, at which title he lays quite a claim. Rumors have it that he sports quite a collection of local features. If Tokey has his way there will be art in his future. Football Mgr. 2; Baseball Mgr. 2; Math Club 2, 3; Tatler 3; A.A. 2, 3, 4; Science Club 3; Decorating, Re- ception; Publicity, Class Play. IRENE Ey - BELLEVANCE ey” Jolly Irene’s patient smile has been tried and tested beyond all doubt in her noon hour job at the lunch counter. And she emerges well established as one of the warmest rays of local sunshine. Unassuming, mild- mannered, she manages to make a deep inroad into peoples’ hearts by the sterling qualities of her fine neighborliness. Even though Irene loves to sew, she (as so many others) prefers dancing to the music of Harry James. She nourishes the desire to become an accountant.

BOYNTON “Eddy” Handsome Ed is our capable class president, and though being in the lead often creates ticklish problems, our man has ever demonstrated the cool requirements de- manded of leadership. Whatever his field of operation, a stellar performance is the result, due to the combination of a keen intellect and a persevering diligence. It is then no surprise that he excelled both in class and in sports, while still reserving enough time toward social events to acquire himself a great many friends. The very seriousness of his endeavors forecasts many bright to- morrows. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Math Club 2, 3, 4; President 2, 3, 4; Science Club 3; D.A.R. U. S.

ROBER DG. COOPER —BOod Bob has no monopoly on blushes, but h e could provide excellent competition for the title of the shyest male in the class. Notwithstanding his natural quiet, he re- veals a joyous personality practically all the time. He can boast with cause about his many friends since they do exist in numbers. Enmities, if any, are probably in- spired by jealousy of his curly hair. Bob excels in many sports and there is never a give up sign in his fight for victory. He is a Hercules’ conquest, and efforts promise chemical engineering.

Boys’ State. MARGARET E. CREEDEN “Dea Smiles, laughter and a sugar-sweet disposition char- acterize this tall, blond senior. Peggy is ever on hand when a gay time looms nigh, which does not alter the fact that she gives generously of her time and labor to make events and activities successful. She enjoys dancing and rollerskating, and, believe it or not, but take heed ye hearty males, she is an especially good cook. Judging from her yesterdays, we feel justified in proclaiming her a positive success in the coming years. A.A. 2, 3; Usher, Reception; Thanksgiving Dance Com- mittee 4; Program, Class Play. ROSES), (DOMEILE “Oozie’ Rose impresses you as an exceedingly quiet and re- served person. But a c.oser association with her, and a deeper knowledge of her character, reveals her as a most amiable and gay companion. She can be well commended for her ability to get along. An excellent typist, her fly- ing fingers make short work of any task, (and her talent in that line has proved an asset for many a school pro- ject). Her favorite leisure moments are those which in- clude bowling or dancing. All in all, a serene sky is predicted for Rose’s personal and business worlds.
