LAUREL COWEN A pair of bright brown eyes, a row of curls, and a snappy comeback'---there you have Laurell She's a little bit independent, but in spite of this her opinions are usually right. As for her ability as an actress, just remember her in the junior and senior plays. Never ask her about her private affairs, for a twinkle in her eye and a quick smile will indicate that she knows more than she tells.

GRACE CORNELIA DANA Peg We'll always remember Grace's announcements in Friday morning assemblies: for as the girls' hockey manager, it was her duty to tell the results of the games. Although quiet most of the time, Grace laughs heartily at her friends' jokes and is always ready to lend a helping hand where needed. lncidentally Grace will be one of the first brides in the class, for she is to be married soon after graduation.

A ROBERT LEE DAVIES Bob Bob is one of the quiet lads in our class about whom no one knows much except that he is a pleasant and agreeable companion and classmate. However, we know that he is good in sports, especially baseball: and his honor roll average shows that he does not waste his spare time. His friendly and persevering nature, which is always present, has won him many friends among his classmates and teachers. Baseball Squad 35 Hi-Y 27 Third Honors, First Semes- ter 4.

IOHN A. CHILDERS Big lack Brightness personified, is what we always think of when lack is mentioned, for he never fails to answer correctly when questioned about an Algebra or Physics problem. Besides this, his congenial personality and cheery manner make him well liked by all his fellow students. That big things come in small packages must be true, for Iack's high and mighty ambition is to be a future student at Ohio University.

O MARION CONNELL Snippy Meet Marion, the well dressed and sophisticated young lady of the senior class, whose distinctive style of hair-dress has brought a certain inimitable verve and dash to the corridors of M. H. S. Besides introducing the pleasant atmosphere of Fifth Avenue to the school, Marion takes an active part in the current social activi- ties, being a familiar figure at our dances. One of her pet diversions is joking with le beau professeur Bishop about his home town and the folks back home.

CHARLOTTE E. COE Look out, Lily Pons and Grace Moore! From M. H. S. comes a singer who is going to give you present top- notchers some stiff competition. Charlotte has been in the Glee Club, the All State Chorus, and has also sung in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. This, in our opinion, is an attainment of which to be proud. Possessed of a fine speaking and singing voice, one day she will reach the topg and we are all looking forward to seeing her name in lights in the not-too- distant future.

Guncotton Everyone's pal though somewhat quiet, Francis is a familiar figure around the halls of M. H. S. His ready Irish grin and twinkling eyes seem to belie his outward calm and repose. As these are necessary ingredients in the recipe for making friends, we know he will get along. Track 45 Perfect Attendance 47 Second Honors, First Semester 4.

WILLIAM M. DAVIS Bill Bill is a flaxen-haired lad with a shy, captivating smile. l-le's a whiz in Chemistry, and his persuasive recitations convince the class, even though the professor fails to applaud. Bill is also a probable second Frank Buck, to say nothing of his artistic ability. His hunting, at present, is carried out in the wilds of Merchantville: but it won't be long before he will be bringing them back alive from Africa, Borneo, and points East.

As far as the former fact is concerned, we can truthfully say that with due time she could think up an alibi for anything. Dorothea is a good student and an efficient person, always ready to pitch in and help, when help is needed.

DONALD DE LONG Don When seen approaching from a distance, Don is immediately recognized by his inimitable stride and his famous, indescribable grin. He is always smiling, except perhaps when he is causing someone to burst into a fit of laughter by his clowning antics. Don goes in for vociferous activities--dramatics and cheerleading. Yes, Don, M. H. S. will miss your peppy spirit and humorous personality in the future.

KATHLEEN THERESA DUNN Kay Kay Dunn has always Dunn well whatever she has undertaken. As one of the efficient typists for the year book, Kay proved her worth as a commercial stu- dent. Her future employer may receive worthy infor- mation concerning her from Mr. Smiley, for he chose her for the position of his secretary. No doubt Kay's name will be seen under some well-known column in a newspaper, for her desire is to become a full-fledged newspaper reporter.
