May 6 , 1920 Staunton, 111. LYLE H. HILL Hill GENERAL Ambition: Accountant. Motto: “Live, love, and learn.” Lyle, the best all-’round athlete of the class, has not only won the admiration of all athletic-minded people but also of his class- mates.

DOROTHY LEE KONDAS July 9, 1920 Us ue Philadelphia, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition: Hairdresser. Motto: “Self-confidence is the keynote to success.” Here is one person who believes in variety.

As a basketball guard she’s among the best.

She always has a ready smile and something interesting to tell every- one. Mary’s motto holds true as she certainly is a friend to all. Mary wants to be a hairdresser, so we hope she gives a lot of marcels and finger-waves. Here’s luck to you, Mary. Perfect Attendance, ’37; Track, ’57. MARGUERITE E. MACINTYRE September 24, 1919 Peggy Philadelphia, Pa. GENERAL Ambition: Pianist in a Swing Band. Motto: “Each time in life comes but once.” Even though “Peggy” despises experimenting in the Chemistry lab, she is really an expert when it comes to experimenting with “Peoples’ ” heart. Her ability for tunefully tickling the piano keys will help her achieve her ambition unless she decides to say, “I do” instead. However, we wish her the greatest success in whatever profession she may follow.
