5 E RUTH ELAINE HANKISON 1937-1941 Going my way, Hank? Yes, Hankie is the pilot of that dazzling black Packard limousine which often blitzes up to M. Yfs parking lot among the smaller fry. Hank is one of our more dignified seniors. Not that she is too quiet, not Ruthie! She can laugh and talk as much as anyone, but she knows when. Riding is one of Hank's favorite activities, and often after sports she breezes over to Ascot.

Mysterious absences from the city, the unexpected clanging of the school bells, weird noises issuing from securely trussed up lockers-all these things keep Betty in the limelight and furnish diversion for a possibly otherwise dull day. If there are any impediments in l3etty's life, you can be sure that they will he as pebbles in her path, for she is a hard driving little lady, as witnessed by her powerful undercuts in hockey, her perfect salesman's technique in soliciting ads for XY.

Those pep talks really had the get-up and git . lietty. .Xlthough she insists she has no intellectual curiosity-well, college boards are no joke. and lletty came through with flying colors.
