Q62 january Officers When all is said and done, the class of January '36 had a dire problem on their hands. Here they were, eighty even but at odds. With vim and vigor, the wranglers came to bat to put their unbiased opinions on the birch bark. Black looks and un- filled seats were placed between the two major factions. In the primaries, small squabbles were swept aside in the glow of party loyalty. Bombastic party leaders solicited followers in study hall whispers. 'One schemer nominated his friend, the latter returning the compliment with astonishing regularity. Then came the vote, and each bewildered nominee bent over his ballot with one sly peek at the fascinating movement of his neighbor's hand. The counters, solemn fellows in the dignity of their office, announced the Vote in sepulchral tones. And so were elected the right hon- orable officers of a small but mighty tribe. Chief Wayne Taylor has paddled the canoe through thick and thin-thick heads and thin pocketbooks-giving wise advice and choosing his committees with a shrewd stroke of his capable chin. It is highly doubtful if they could be of any less impor- tance than the vice-presidency held down by Kid-Firewater- Charters. With few dissenting votes, Squaw Inga Jessen landed in the secretaryship. Her real work came later, as head of the invitation committee, where her characteristic diligence and sardonic good humor showed to good purpose. The cheerless job of persecutor of the poor was held down by that malignant fel- low, Sub-chief-Big-'Hokum-Stuff-Lowrey. Is there any job more loathsome than being responsible for other Injuns' Wampum? 8

Dorothy Altaffer Jack Baker Ada Antrican William Bayer Lucille Antrican Betty Becker Robert Aungst Edward Becker WITT-E-BlIRE this petite tease falls into when she attempts to do LeRoy one better in their wise-cracking banter while scurrying around in her own busy way! A champion scurrier at 18. Dishwater hands at 20, we'll bet. Dot Altaffer paid dues to Red Masque, G. A. A., and Blue Tri, romped through the senior play, sat in S. R. C. meet- ings, and business managed the Man- higan .... Never let it be said that a jobfor anything else! Could keep Ada Antrican from her favorite pastime, studying. Although she won first hon- ors, she did justice to a full time posi- tion during her last semester .... The typical high school girl, and glad of it! Plump, giggling Lucille Antrican may not have captured scholastic honors as Cousin Ada did, but her contagious laughter made up for it .... A much injured but nevertheless indispensable football player, Bob Aungst proved to Mary Bellore Jacques Charters Gertrude Booksbaum Norman Crowhurst Mary Burleson Helen Cunningham be one of those sentimental creatures who, strangely enough, like to pay post-commencement visits to the Alma Mater. tIt's Judy, sure as you're bornl. He manipulated the gavel for the M Association, and yes-yes'ed Mr. Mehock for a year ,... Fond of his Gladys Swarthout coiffure, Jack Baker will go down in history for his animated conversations - mostly in study halls. They say he's interested in radio and runs around wid de coils. Collected vice-presidencies during his off hours .... Blll Bayer seems to be noted for his interest in basketball. His uncheckered career as a commer- cial student also included a track man- agership .... Betty Lou Becker heard about the stone wall around the Re- formatory before she came to Mans- field from Chicago last year, but she found other stone walls to reckon with, she says. She likes to sew, and we're more convinced than ever that she's not an escaped gangster .... As the heart interest of 'tThe Late Christopher Bean , Eddie Becker proved that he has the makin's of a 1940 edition screen hero. Enjoyed rooting around backstage as well as basking in the footllghts and making change at Kroger's .... Minnewawa - Singing- Water's KM:-xry Jane Bellore to youJ silvery notes gave grace to many clas- sics at lodge meetings, but on less for- mal occasions-namely in German class -she sang O du schone Haufenmust William Davidson Eleanor Dusty James DeLoff Virginia Fenner with as much gusto as the rest of us. Operetta and A Capella choir listed her as a member for three years .... Gertle Bookshaum reached out and roped in a National Honor Society membership, but present diagnosis points to international acclaim for our second Madame Curie. A fanatic for gathering knowledge .... Texas sent us a committee worker of the old school in Mary Leigh Burlesonkand don't leave the Leigh out, suh! Has a scrap- book filled with mementos of the chase. A rare combination of southern tem- perament and northern good sense .... Nobody quite knows why Jacques Charters was senior vice president, but he lent his French name and his Irish temper to the office with the same gusto that he called signals for three years .... We're told that Norman Crowhurst was seen going to classes this year. After getting acquainted with his erstwhile classmates, he joined the Junior Hi-Y when he was a junior .... Noted for her unruffled, soothing dis- position, Helen Cunningham leads us to believe she'd listen willingly to all the details of our operations. She was a member of G. A. A., Blue Tri, and the Senior A committee .... Bill Davidson says he played football for two years, which just goes to show that there can be a lot of pepper in a small pack- age .... In Macedonia at 10 years, Jim Delofl was a farmer and a shep- herd. In America at 18, he has been grocery boy, bartender, and strenuous tooth pick chewer. A study in un- studied courtesy .... 'Way back in a long-forgotten Leap Year when seventh graders wore high buttoned shoes and hair ribbons, Eleanor Dusty was writ- ing Leap Year notes to--but that would be telling. Remember, Eleanor? .... The 'Western Breeze contributed its assistant editor to the honor lists of January '36, but Virginia Fenner would be the last one to tell you. A music enthusiast, she sang in the Glee Club, Operetta, and A Capella choir. Compliments of New England Mutual Life Ins. Co.. G. Fred Altaffer, District Mgr. , al: MQ 9 l L
