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

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

Martha Flohr Eugene Fritz June Ford Raymond Frontz A CASE in which history fails to rc- peat itself. Floors generally are wont to know their place in life but Martha Flohr is tops with us. She's not to be stepped on or crunched under heel, by reason of her service on three class committees and her activity in the Blue Tri and G. A. A1 . . . If you are smart you won't just watch the June Ford go by. It has a new paint job every day and a talent for tap dancing. Diligently balanced the cash book every day so that Mr, Sherman wouldn't be confused with all the figures .... An- other one of teacher's precious helpers is Eugene Fritz,-he kept the Tom- Mehock from pulling those last luscious locks over the infinite cares of manag- ing the bloomer boys .... Our Alma nac Specialist suggests that Raymond Frontz turn his ability at drafting to bank drafting. But they've taken the profit out of banking, too, and Frontz was probably wise in joining the Voca- tional Club and sticking to his boards. . . . Discovered! The secret of Mary C-rubaugh's rotundity. It's just that she's so completely full of patience and cheerfulness, but the nobody's fool side of Mary won her scholastic honors .... Here's one girl you'd be certain of getting hart trouble over. With those auburn locks of hers Mar- jorie Hart fits into Valentine's Day as if she originated it .... A talented mummy in our midst is Virgil Hart- man. He performs the novel, if grue- some, trick of getting all wrapped up in himself at Hallowe'en parties. Got homesick and stayed for a P. G .... He and Dick Herring are fast friends, both are paper boys. Red was a fine footballer in his sand lot daysf never muffed a tackle and came out with all his teeth .... Hoop skirts and long curls would accentuate the quali- ties of this Winsome lass, but we're 6262 Mary Grubaugh Helen Heldenbrand Marjorie Hart Richard Herring Virgil Hartman Betty Hoffman afraid that Helen Heldenbrand was born 100 years too late .... Mother Nature was feeling liberal when she endowed Betty Jean Hoffman with them thar features. A speedy typist, a speed- ier gum chewer, wields a mean eyelash curler .... A squirrelly Hunter is our friend Charles. He answers to his mid- dle name too. A bit of impulsiveness adds spice to this usually quiet minder- of-his-own-business. We'll be seeing you in, eight years or so, Charlie, when you get out of medical school .... Johnny- Croak-in-his-Throat-Irvine, of the crink- ley smile, encouraged the war whoopers at Injun games. Set the Senior Hi-Y and S. R. C. back on their heels. Plans a law career .... Give you a broad hintePaul Isch is no relation to the seven year Isch. Seriously, though, our handsome Don Juan has the eyes of a dreamer. He's looking at you and yet he isn't-and he's not cross-eyed, either .... That natural buoyancy of yours is catching, Miss Jessen, as is your smile. An extremely versatile yoiuig lady, Inga had all ten fingers in every school pie-witness her activity in Blue Tri, G. A. A., French Club, Red Cross Council, Red Masque. and as Senior Class Secretary ..,. Chief Fleet- Flat-Feet himself. Walden Kenyon, pos- sessor of an outdoorsy name and a Compliments of John C. Davis Charles Hunter Walden Kenyon John Irvine Helen Lerner Paul Isch Paul Livensparger Inga Jessen Harrison Lowrey cheery disposition, he'l1 be a good me- chanic like his dad .... Gracie Living- stone Lerner combines the spontaneous chatter and the dark brown hair of both those personages. A Warbler in Girls' Glee Club and A Capella, and as lively as your granny's pet mustard plaster .... Paul Gideon Livensparger looks as peaceful as a cow pasture, but he's a mean shot with the paper wad. Art work is play to him, and he's game for basketball, too .... President ot S. R.
