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.

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.

His attraction toward the weaker sex is almost magnetic, Cal did an excellent job of supervising ticket sales during the Senior Play. These financial activities did not, however, keep his thoughts from the junior girls. Hi4Y 4, Senior Play Ticket Committee 4.
