A+ 4 if I '5' 'is I 8 6 n S Q 1 Q 103 A00 3 4- just because Dudley Moon had the athletic ability to win the gold football, he needn't think that he has the privilege of taking his nightly sleep during Civics and Chemistry classes. We think that Virginia Hout should have a steady by now-with those big Eddie Cantor eyes. The journalistic world knows but two people-Robert Kyle and Miss Blake. If Gladys Hughey practices enough on her vocal lessons-perhaps she could get a job as torch singer with the McClain Doodlesockers. Ernest McCullough has found out that it pays to be a football hero because you get along so well with the beautiful girls. Louise Countryman inhabits the vicinity arou d she is a real country-mann? n, Rainsboro. Isn't that enough to prove that Someone tperhaps Shakespearej has defined cute as pertaining to bowleggedness. We think Charles Coler is the cutest person in the Whole Senior classfuuless it is Margaret Moomaw. Excuse us please. if we casually hint to Edna Mae Lyle and Miriam Leach that nothing is more silly than sillv laughter. Arden Ross may be able to fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of thc time. but he certainly didn't fool all of the people all of the time. Arden, you can't fool a fooler. A certain 'Magic Man told us that Alice Evans thinks because she has those big innocent brown eyes she should be treated delicately. Alice, how would he know? We are afraid to say anything nice tor otherwisej about Alphonse talias Pink J Schinner for fear of that everlasting blush. just a little advice to lone Hamilton. Be careful, lone, remember mere bashfulness without merit is awkwardness. It took three whole years before Max Badger realized he wasn't such a bad Romeo , If Rosemary Harkins keeps on improving in her athletic ability we are afraid she will develop into a second Babe Dickerson. No wonder our teachers are either gray or losing what little hair they do have-Virgil Griffith and his Cyclone Chevy is the cause of it all. We just give this hint to Evelyn Hudson! Do be careful of that stenographers career you have been studying for, because a stenographer leads an awful hard life. With Homer Chaney's physique and swimming ability. Johnny Weismuellers Tarzan role is in danger. We think Marguerite Swisshelm has beautiful hair. Thats nothingfshe does too. Morris Montgomery is also getting to be a ladies man . Excuse us please. we mean that in the singular sense. Such an actor as Charles Cpp ought to be in pictures. It would be the nations most sensational thrill. Even though Ethel Carroll has been in our class four years, it is hard to realize her presence because she is so very quiet. just a gigolo everywhere he goes , that's how the whole town is talking about Dean Whited.

Cl-41 fi '+G 1 5 V 6 I Q Q I 9 3 4- '-903 Koo' CLASS KN OCKER 1934 To TELL all or not to tell allgthat was our question, whether it would be nobler to make public the outrageous faults and petty secrets of our dear classmates or to praise their idiosyncrasies and by doing so make friends instead of foes of our fellow seniors. The good they have done will live long, but the bad is often overlooked-therefore we take it upon ourselves here and now to condemn their faults, however not the actor. Johnny Smith, our worthy president, heads the list. It seems that johnny can't make up his mind whether to be a Hillsboro Nike , a Chillicothe shiek , a Washington dandy , or just a plain Greenfield bachelor. There is nothing Dora Emily McWilliams likes better than a very good jokefthat is, unless it is a very bad one. john Paul may be a Watt, but he surely isn't so very bright in some lines. Sarah Moomaws babish face and childish ways almost entitle her to the position of class mascot. Maybe David Worthington won't want to graduate this year since he has just found out that some of the underclassmen aren't to be overlooked. Elizabeth Hedges takes swimming every free period of the day. tShe must not have any bath tub at her house.J We believe that Kenneth Williams will be able to fill a large position when he graduates. 'Nuf said!'l Esther Shockey surely rates with the out-of-towners. but it looks like the McClain boys fail to get the shock'l. We wonder if Georgian Dreher has lost her Teachers Pet appeal-she doesn't seem to be going so hot this year. Robert Adams chooses his friends so carefully that most of the time he is seen accompanying himself. Hollywood isn't the only one who has a Mae West-McClain has LaYisa Ellen Wilson, and she is only 17. Although the class of '54 doesn't have the distinction of graduating the tallest or the shortest boy, we undoubtedly will graduate the laziestfjunior Duckworth. Who said he was a chip off the old block? We would think that Margaret Alexander would have more finger waves than she does. since she visits a local beauty parlor so often. Glenn Winfough, Jr. had to wait until he made a basketball letter before he got a girl. ls it really true that jesslyn Hammond won't eat anyone elses chocolates unless it is Schaffers? Some of our McClain boys think Dorothy Louise .-Xshling is the Girl of Their Dreams . Yes. suggest that he marry some nice little quiet maiden like Florence Bryant and settle down for a while. Since Homer West failed to get the title of Ladies man during his high school career, we but you haven't heard Dees opinion on the subject yet. boys. .ig rrf ri-Q7r'iAg' rc? 1 , xr .J lr .2 55 HIJII1 ,,,k IJITEI mm . , -,ff THE DRAGON f -jllljli ff f my ' ff '4- I I P .ax G E 1 o .1 IL-'X

We have just found out that the most effective coquetry is innocence. Alas. and alack! We have just found the explanation of Dorothy Redkey and Vivian Posts action. Manz Orr Glassner, poor boy, his name is enough to kill him. However. we cant blame himf it wasn't his fault. Geraldine Stark's greatest fault, we should say, is being conscious of none. Charles Jacobs should make an A-Xo. 1 pharmacist, after all his experiences in the high school laboratory. No man is born without ambitious worldly desires. Evidently Howard Willson means well. If independence meant intelligence Martha Lucas would head the class. Small but mighty, that's Charles Hill. Eh! Wat? Lawrence Lucas hails from Rainsboro, but who would have Thunk it? Miriam Plummer is like George 'Washingtorn she never told a Lyle . Donald Dodds is our class mystery man. Even WE can't get the goods on him. Since Arthur Harris gets along with all the teachers so well. we hesitate to take him with us. Could it be that Lucile Wolf's name has frightened many ardent admirers away? We don't know, were asking you. After four years of agriculture, Heber Winegar should at least be able to raise Cain on the old farm. No wonder Forest McCoppin is always in such a good humor, he has a good reason to be Smilev . Wonder why Forest Hill and Francis Hall were alone at the junior-Senior Banquet? We're not being personal, boys, but why can't you See the senior girls? We feel especially honored to have been chosen to write this Class Knocker. because it proves twhat we have already been thinking about ourselvesl that we are entirely free from any faults of any kind. Perhaps we have lost each and every one of our senior friends: but we still maintain that if anything has been spoken in jest, it is not fair to turn it to earnest. fsigizrdl JANICE M.
