BESSIE WOLLSCHLAGER Bessie is another of our commercialities. She is always hustling to do something. She hasn't taken an active part in many of our activities but she is nevertheless a thoroughly likeable, good-natured girl. Sigma Tau Society. GLADYS GRITZ I am sure many of us would starve to death if it vveren't for the faithful ticket seller in AB, Gladys Gritz. Miss Gritz is a commercialite and at one time was public stenographer for M. H. S, l am sure she has never disturbed anybody by her noise. Chorus: Debate Society: Senior Soccer Teamg Sigma Tau. CLAIRE ECKER Claire is a sweet, retiring girl. She has pur- sued her course faithfully and we will expect her to shine in the future. By the way, she is quite an Amazon. How about those fist fights with Veronica in Mr. French's English Class? Sigma Tau Society: Senior Soccer Team. GERTHUDE BIRDSEY No, she hasn't disturbed us by her noise, but we've been very glad to have her with us, per- haps because she was quiet. Those who know her best say that Gertrude is a steady, reliable girl. She has a pair of very pretty brown eyes and-well, to tell the truth, we can't find any- thing faulty about her so it's probably time to stop.

RGSE MULLIGAN The skies of June are very blue But Rose's eyes are of deeper hue. Rose is one of our happy good-natured girls. She expects to become a teacher and we'll say the children will never excite her. French Club: Class Basketball: Captain, Senior Soccer Team. EST HER WESSMAN Some uf the more absent minded persons of the class used to envy Esther's prompt attention to everything in American History, especially when sho made intelligent corrections. She was always alert and always had a Well-prepared lesson. We understand that Esther is going to enter the business world. The best of luck to you, Esther! Sigma Tau. VERA FLUKE Vera Fluke was a member of that famous CP IV B English class but never took any part in the heated discussions such as that of the Ku Klux Klan. We all agree with Vera that red is very becoming. Junior College Club: Aesssiz Association. HUGH MCKEN NA There is only one on whom Fay ever wreaked vengeance and that was Hughgask the Pennant room. Hugh was always noted for his appear- ance, and his bi-weekly hair-cuts were special features. He demonstrated marked business abil- ity in his undertakings and also made a hit on the stage.

CATHERINE PICHNARCIK The reason that we have not seen Catherine Pichnarcik around school a great deal is that she has had other more important affairs to at- tend to. Her efforts find a reward in the fact that all thc girls in her classes have been envious of her many pretty sweaters. ANTHONY BARCAVICH Here is another who goes by the name of 'iTony. You see his smilef-Well, he always has it. On the football field, when he picks himself up from the bottom of the pile he's smiling. When someone puts his foot in the way on the basketball floor and Tony takes a nose dive, he comes up smiling. However, his smile didn't keep him from playing-ask anyone he ever took outugthat is in a football frame. For an all- round athlete you can't find any better than Tony.

Lilliarfs curly blond hair and large brown eyes have been the envy of many girls less fortunately endowed. Her charms have evidently been appre- ciated by her boy friends also for she is hardly ever without a thrilling tale of an experience at a dance or party. ADA POOLEY There isn't a girl at school who wouldrft give almost anything to own hair like Ada Pooley's. lt's useless, though, because she has a monopoly. Polly has been termed a baby vamp. We are not passing this accusation on, you under- stand, but we confess that we would most cheer- fully submit if she would like to practice on us. Besides being actively interested in practically every activity at high school, Ada has neverthe- less maintained a very higzh scholastic standing. We certainly must hand it to her.
