ALMA EMMA REAY Emmieu Unknown by many, and well-known by very few, Alma quietly pursues her duties, cool and collected, in the midst of our noisy and energetic class, Having been born in a land upon whose soil the sun never sets, perhaps it is not peculiar that she has a typical Johnnie Bull spirit which at times presents itself. However, the more dominant of the characteristics is her cheery humor which makes her an enjoyable companion. Alma is a commercial student, but her hidden desire is to join the White Parade.

Gracie has a blushing ability that never fails to astonish us. just at a word from anyone, her face becomes Vermilion. Never mind! It's becoming. And we'll never forget her in French class, trying to make Miss Null under- stand her translations, nor in lVIr. Beery's class, telling him the right answers. Grace really has the spunk it takes.

RUTH ROBERTSON Ruthie Under Ruth's quiet and reserved exterior a few lucky searchers have found a real pal. Ruth is the type of girl who puts every effort into her work, and we are sure this trait will bring her success. Try, try again, is Ruth's creed: this doubtless from her Scotch ancestry. Out- standing among Ruth's accomplishments are dancing, flirting, and ensnaring a certain handsome blond diver. Operetta Chorus, 3, Interclass Volleyball, 4. JEAN ROGERS Ginger ' ' If you see a blonde girl walking down the hall busily studying her lessons, you'll know it's Ginger. Besides being one of our honor students every month, Jean excells in trigonometry. She is known among her friends for her happy disposition. As Prim in the Senior play she proved herself more than capable of handling the part. jean is one who will go far in later life, as her ambition can't be beaten.

He may have a few parts left over when he gets it together again, but vi hat's the difference? It won't work anyway. Any- thing with chains, cogs, or pulleys greatly appeals to Fanny, Never let him get his hands on your watch, or the first thing you know, you won't know anything, or you won't have a watch, or something. His conscientious efforts at soliciting ads put the rest of the class to Shame. Rrcolm Staff, 45 Play Committee, 4, Essay Contest, 35 Perfect Attendance, 3, 4. ELEANOR PLOSS Plossie ln its junior year, our class was brightened by a Hash of color-Eleanor's red hair. Vl ith it came a girl full of pep and good humor. The traditional red-headed temper seems in this case to have centered in the lighting spirit which Eleanor showed to great advantage on the hockey field. Vfe are told that Eleanor has a great ambition to become an actress, and if we know our red-head, she will accomplish what she sets out to do.

STANLEY POKORSKY ll Y 1 Stanley goes about his daily tasks with an air of deter- mination. At all times he puts forth the greatest effort to accomplish his work. If he goes out into the world with the same determination he has maintained while in our class. he is sure to obtain success. Boy, he must be a healthy lad! Perfect attendance for three whole years. Many pupils would like to discover how this is humanly possible. How do you do it, Stanley? Perfect Attendance, 2, 3, 4. HENRY L. PRESTON Henry has a grand sense of humor, and his ability to keep lda Kunkle in stitches from the beginning to the end of a class is viell known. He doesn't have very much to say, but when it comes to arguing algebra he is in a class all by himself. In his own small way, Henry is an authority on women's clothing and is constantly informing a certain young miss that he thinks her color combinations are terrific.

lv FLORENCE SCHNEIDER Floss ' ' With her wit and humor, Floss is sure to get along. She's the soul of dry humor. Not only that: one usually finds her dancing around the school, or talking in the corners, to some members of the masculine gender. At any rate, she and her pals have been a big help around here. At lunch time, she keeps all the girls at her table from getting indigestion, by her puns and snatches of humor. Keep it up, Floss, you'll be in Fred Allen's place soon. Play Committee, 3. 43 Monitor, 4. CHARLES SCI-IOPPET Take a Letter Did you ever see a dream walking? That's Schoppet. He seems unconcerned about all that is going on about him, but he really does wake up once in a while to burst out with a few witty remarks. He's a whiz, no doubt about it. He's renowned for his seven course meal, which he brings to lunch-a big juicy tomato for an appetizer, then he dives into his six or seven weighty sandwiches. He finishes up with a large slice of cake and a big red apple. VX hat a man is Schoppet! PATRICIA SEATON iipatn Who doesn't know Pat, the most popular girl in the class? This charming classmate of ours has not only gained the spotlight as an outstanding athlete who captained the girls' first championship basketball team, but is an able and willing worker at all times. We know that Pat will reach great heights with her pleasing personality and demonstrated efficiency. Great success to you, Patl Class Secretary, 3, 4, Riconn Staff, 4, Varsity Basketball, 2, 3g Captain, 4g Interclass Basketball, 25 Varsity Hockey, 2, 3, 4, Inter- class Baseball, 2, 3, 4, Interclass Volleyball, 45 Swimming Club, 2, 3, 45 President, 2, 35 Operetta Chorus, 2, 33 Tri-Hi, 35 President, 4. IRENE SIKORSKI Rene Irene is the type of girl you read about but seldom meet in real life. Her pet hobby is being kind to someone in need. Her flashing smiles and peals of jolly laughter have endeared her to the hearts of her schoolmates. There is also a definite time for work in Irene's life, and you'll never lind her conspicuous by her absence when the hardest work is to be done.
