General Chairman 4 An all-round good sport — that ' s Tillie . She has captured many laurels in basketball and hockey, as well as the hearts of many of the male members of the school. We were certainly lucky to get Tillie from Lawrence High School. We wish you the very best of luck, Tillie. RICHARD HAMILTON GUMB ' dick gumby Captain, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Junior Play Boys ' Glee Club 3 Richard, nicknamed Gumby by his classmates, is a popular fellow. The most conspicuous thing about him is his laugh. This laugh is between a roar and a guffaw. It can be heard all over the school when something strikes Richard as being funny. He was the Personnel Adjutant of the Cadet Corps with the rank of captain. Lots of luck, Dick , old pal! IRENE HARRISON Salutatorian Junior Play Irene is one of the most intelligent members in our class. She is brilliant in all of her subjects, and excels in English. She has made many friends during her school career, and we know she will make many more when she is out in the world. She is a good sport, and an ideal class- mate. We are proud of you, Irene. WILLIAM HUGHES HARRISON bill Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Basketball 3, 4 Bill has been persistent in all his studies and activities. The possession of a facility for forming friendships causes him to be a well-known young man. We must compliment him for being an able officer in the Cadet Corps. We wonder if he ' ll be a chemist or a Latin teacher. Whatever may be his calling, a keen inclination to forge ahead will enable him to gain a desirabb position in life. 27
