THE SKETCH 25 Portraits BETTY VOSSLER, 7B 7B-Betty Lucille Vossler is the little Miss we shall now present. Blue eyes and brown hair are only two of the outstanding attractions featuring her S feet 62 inches. Highlighting her life are chicken and pie, sewing and skating. Shows to be enjoyed by Miss Vossler, must reveal Sonja Henie's talents, and she swoons over Kay Kayser's capers. A hint to the males- to win this 7B's affections, you must be very nice. Betty requires no further qualifications. DAHL MONTA, 7B Now may we introduce Dayne's little brother Dahl? He is 12 years old, has blonde hair, blue eyes, and stands 4 feet 11 inches. Lets take a day from school with him. First thing we find him with a'book in his hand, The Call of the Wild. He had been reading all night. He gets up, eats his breakfast then does a little cartooning. He goes out and plays football till dinner time to work up an appetite. He has meatloaf for dinner, it's his favorite food. In the afternoon h egoes to see Spencer Tracy or Olivia De Haviland. Then he turns on the radio and gets Bob Hope or Red Skelton. He either wants to become an artist or band leader when he grows up. He ought to make good whichever he becomes. MARY JANE NEAL, 7A Blonds, 'tis rumored, are the boys' favorite, so here is our offering. Miss Mary Jane Neal's blue eyes gaze with rapture upon any movie star, while her delicate shell-like ears delight in hearing any orchestra, as long as they play White Cliffs of Dover. Her 4 ft. 7M in. are. actively en- gaged in swimming during the summer days, while ice skating is her fav- orite sport in winter. Hamburgers and french fries are devoured with relish, and this lassie fthe answer to any teacher's prayerj proclaims she likes all her studies. Communing with mother nature by means of wild flower gardens is a hobby of this little 7A Miss. ROBERT ANDERSON, 7A We now introduce Mr. Robert Anderson. He reaches the great height of 4 ft. S in. and of the ripe old age of 12. Caution to all girls, you better watch out for this blue eyed blond who collects stamps for a pastime. When hunger calls he grabs 7 or 8 hamburgers to eat. Of all the radio programs he takes Henry Aldrich. As for movies he goes for Errol Flynn and Dorothy Lamour. For a profession he takes professional softball. Good Luck, Bob. P.S. He has a girl in McCulloch. V' '4 Q ,X . . K . i at -V f - J zyf -.F ,.. . J , 1 o 5 4 15 1 4 3
