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.

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.

ETHEL SMYTH ll YY Meet Tiny Smyth, the vest pocket artist of the senior class. Her name is Sm-eye-eth, not Smith. But it would take more than that to keep her from being the cutest girl in the class. Tiny is the one who is responsible for all the beautiful girls around the corridors of the school-on posters. Tiny hails from South America, and has a lovely English accent. Maybe that's why her French translations are rather unintelligible. Still, we forgive her all this, because-isn't she cute?

ELONA SOCHOR 3 Emma Watch out, Elona! You're going to break your neck. Such were the words of warning that Elona had thrust at her during Senior Play rehearsals. She had the tedious job of ladder climbing. Elona is a very hard working girl. She tells us that 2:00 A. M. is her retiring hour on school nights. Is it work, or is it what? We think it's what. However, she always knows her lessons. She can rattle the piano keyboard, too, until both she and the piano are ex- hausted. She'll get there.

Laureate Spelety. PAUL SOUTH Southpole We believe that Paul's motto is Hate all and look at none, when it comes to the weaker sex, for he never gave any of them a tumble. Paul had a special aptitude for Physics and was seen carrying radio books with him all the time this past year. Paul has a record which is not common among boys, for he has never been reprimanded for ex- cessive talking. Orchestra, 2. ELIZABETH SULLIVAN u Betty 1 1 The boys stop and stare as Betty comes into the room. No wonder. Her black eyes and hair are enough to make anyone gaze in admiration. Betty captures every heart with her feminine wiles. As an oriental maiden, Betty would be good, as a French doll, she would be better, but as Mae West, she would be superb. Yes, Betty with all her charms, many times expresses herself in the West-ern style. How does Hollywood get along without her? Maybe some day her chance will come, and we'll see her starring opposite Clark Gable's successor.
