ROWLAND W. GILPIN Rollo Surely you remember the tall young man who, last October, joyfully took the position of football manager and valiantly tried to get the announcements straight to avoid the razzing of his classmates. Well, that was Rollo. His stellar accomplishment is his faculty for falling asleep in dull classes and seeming to be awake at the same time. Though he is not exactly a star pupil, his interest in the French class is centered very profitably around the most studious girl in the seniors' lcg, ROBERT CHARLES GIUNTA Scoop Bob, a very likable and talkative chap, is well known as a sports writer for our school newspaper. Perhaps he gets his inspirations from attending all the athletic performances put on by his Alma Mater. Although Bob wears glasses which tend to give him a rather studious air, he does not thoroughly love his studies. However, he still manages to get through and to maintain his reputation as an ardent supporter of M. H. S.

Chem- istry to Lucille means not only sulphur and carbon, but also the teacher, for he seems to derive constant pleasure from kidding Lucille. Although she has not taken part in many of the extra activities at M. H. S., Lucille has been a member of the Glee Club for several years, and always supports school dances with enthu- siasm.

GORSUCH Reds To those of you who have always been under the impression that red hair is the sign of a fiery temper, may we present Mr. Paul Gorsuch. We hate to dis- illusion you, but Paul is an exception to this unjust accusation which you make of redheads in generalg for he is the possessor of a most pleasant disposition. Always full of fun, he is also a well-mannered chap.

GERTRUDE ESTELLE GAUMER Fritz Although her main interest seems to be outside of the school walls, Gert has always been an enthusiastic follower of girls' hockey. Besides her closest friend, Dot, Gert's pleasing personality has won her many other chums. Her commercial recommendations have helped her to become an industrious and dependable secretary to Miss Powell7 and who on the Record Staff will be able to forget the efficiency with which she handled all the last minute typing rushed to her?

DARATI-IA C. GILBERT Dot Neat and different-looking is attractive Dot Gilbert, and oh yes, as dignified as the title most dignified girl calls for. lt has been Dot who decorated, drew, and designed for almost every club, class, and activity there was. Ideas come to her like magic for cover- design or poster--or what have you. Priceless is her work, but, after all, it comes from a priceless girl.

BENIAMIN GROVES ROSE MARY HAFLER Ben Although he is probably the smallest boy in the class, nevertheless without Ben's help as stage man- ager, where would the senior play have procured some- one capable of filling the all important position of light flickerer? Mr. Bishop delights in unexpectedly calling upon Ben in Physics class. Thanks to his small and almost inaudible voice, the answer usually has to be repeated, His home room profits from his artistic talents in that he is always the lucky t?l one to be called upon to put charts on the board. Stage Crew 3, 4. ISABEL HALL Issy lzzie is another of those girls from whom not much is ever heard. French class is said to profit from her presence, for she is a good student. The strong, silent fellows about school are lzzie's pet diversion, although she doesn't make the fact public. For further informa- tion concerning this petite, shy miss, we suggest ques- tioning A. I. 20 A quiet smile, a far-away look in her eyes, and a timid personality aptly identify Bose. By the shyest girl in the class, her attitude thought and consideration. Her career as the senior play committee was marked with numerous attempts Cmostly in vainl to collect returns from tickets distributed to unwilling seniors. popular vote shows deep a member of Aerial Staff 4, Commercial Club 45 Perfect Attendance 27 Business Staff Senior Play 47 Iunior Movie Benefit 35 lnterclass Baseball Manager 35 Second Honors 2, 3, First Semester 4.

But don't let them fool you too much! the merry wink and pleasant smile is just Mildred's manner to boy and girl alike. And as Mildred has shown her swimming ability along with her ability in other sports and as cheerleader, we can truthfully say she'll swim into your affections and stay there.
