THE SENTOR CLASS 1947 . . . . . WALTER ARMOUR Walt, a three-letter man is president of the Block M Club. Has o quiet disposition and is marked by his interesting personality. Walt Armour, the mighty athlete, Leaves Walter Scott his enormous feet ANNUNCIATA AURIENA Nancy is one of the few quiet girls in M.HS, but outside the four walls she is a character. Can you a3y Ty imagine her a secretary? Her name is much too long and fancy So we call her just plain Nancy. SN Toe GLORIA BAIRD Here's a swell girl who's gay and cheery. She has a keen interest in boseball pitchers. Shorthand comes naturally. If there are any more like Gloria, All we say is give us more-i-a. WALTER BAKER Here we have Walt, a good natured and friendly fellow, who spends most of his spare time in that 1946 maroon Ford. Honesty is left by Walter Baker To Rbnnie Weber, a big faker. ELIZABETH BAYLIS Belty is definitely on the up and up in her school tk. Alwdys willing to lend o helping hand to all her friends. Betty Baylis leaves her brain so smart To Carol Kilcomins who could use a part. CHARLES BLOOD Chic is a jolly fellow, but, somehow, never seems o get his algebra done on time. His specialty is dra- matics. Chicky Blood leaves his noise, He has enough for all the boys. DOROTHY BLYTHE Dot can usually be seen driving around town in her dad's car. Some of the gang are usually with her. Dot Blythe leaves her nickname as 'Smokey To Staciawho's doing oaky-dokey. LILLIAN BRAUTIGAN Lil gives a bit of competition fo the canaries. She has a good sense of humor and uses it regularly. Lillian leaves her lovely voice To Margaret Booth who just makes noise.
