l John Palumho Have you heard the onc about the Scotchman? john Palumbo asked the group of noisy boys around h'm. Their emphatic reply in the affirmative forced him to leave the group for more appreciative company. Thus I managed to get hold of him. My favorite subject is American history, he confessed, but my real love is for good, well-baked pies. And that is one place Whcre his good taste is often a liability. ,lohn's black eye- brows and deep, frequently- employed voice might earn him the designation of the dark but not-silent type. Kathleen Johnson There isn't much of anything to say about me, Kathleen looked up modestly from her pencil sketch. The only things I really like to do are swim, play baseball, write poetry and draw. Kathleen is a quiet girl, in fact she has a repu- tation for unobtrusiveness and silence. But actually she isn't hard to find, if you know where to look. Any innocent looking easel cover- ed with human drawings, any notebook or drawing board propped at a conven- ient angle to get her subject in the right pose, is likely to signify the presence of this eager though reticent artist. Evelyn Turner Noise? Exeitement?,' Eve- lyn laughed. Even if I look like the excitable type, l like nothing better than a half-knitted sweater to fin- ish, and a good book. Mov- ies are my weakness and keeping a scrap book of the movie stars is my chief hobby. There goes the bell, I'll have to rush to get to Latin Class in time-that reminds me, T belong to the Latin Club, too. Evelyn scurried down the hall, toss- ing me a broad smile when I thanked her for the inter- view. thllx -. , ,jr P S sa 1- Kg lx gl l I i I S l , og .

At twelve o'clock there was Ralph, standing against the wall after all thc dancers had worn themselves out. But is that blond lad as shy as his lack of action would seem to indicate? Anyone who has heard him running a homeroom meeting knows the answer. He effectively dominates the unruly 206 group purely by the power of sharp command. Besides, he could dance if he wanted tog in fact, he's even at- tended dancing school, but he's finally quit, figuring he'd rather spend the time horseback riding. nffggfh fa c ll il ,AX on fx- 'l- imi ii-it N X JT RX X M2 'v-view i l szmzazf J 5-afar.-1 I O wa .

Lewis lBu1Fio O sol O mio . . . W'hoops, my sudden turning of the corner must have frightened all the song out of him. I-Ie shut up like a clam and looked flustered and vaguely annoyed. But then Lewey doesnlt like to sing to an audience-so he says. I-Ie prefers to take walks by himself and warble to the less critical though empty air. I,ewey's biggest inter- est is golf, and he follows all the professional matches, he goes to a movie once in a while just to be sociablel' and he is an ardent believer in early to bed and early to rise. Lastly, we'vc heard it rumored that, at intervals, he even studies! x .l .Ll J if X R of-Y, 'R X 'Q 1 i Q J Q. Q in Page 16 Nancy lBauraei.a Nancy, the gum-chewing hction reader, came sailing around the corner iust in time to bump square into me. Sure enough there was the usual novel under her arm and the ever present piece of gum in her mouth. Oh, did you hear about the Make-Up-Box meeting to- night? she gasped between apologies for the bump. I'm so glad because I love dra- matics, especially heavy dra- matic acting. But Nancv has other interests as well, for an hour later when I was passing the art room whom should I hnd work- ing intently over an easel but that enthusiastic, bud- ding artist, Miss Baracia.

This piece just doesn't seem to be right, so I had to hit a few bad notes to overcome my anger. Rita banged another sour note and smiled. I know you want an inter- view, she continued, so I'1l tell you that, although music is my favorite pastime, reading and sewing take up a big part of my day. I don't belong to any school activities- just don't have time for them! Then she added, The next time please try to come when I'm play- ing something I like and know. f Y f rfwwx ,usa zaJ 7 0 x Y Angelo lliaeinza One of I3altusrol's more prominent loopers is An- gelo QShinej Faenza, who also finds time to distinguish himself as one of the out- standing athletes in the school. Shine, characterized by his dark, curly hair, plays number two on Mill- burn's Little Five champion- ship golf team. Last spring he reached the semi-finals of the State Public Links Tournament and finished fourth in the State Inter- scholastie. Besides his golf, Shine plays a whale of a game of football as a center, and is a star on the basket- ball team. Want to inter- view me? Well I'll tell you --my two weaknesses are sinking forty-foot putts, and making shrewd bets with the fellows. That's Shine. I' 73 2 . 22.5 .

Edwin lllialdnovieh Though Edwin is as quiet as a mouse and you would never know he was in your midst, I persuaded him to talk to me long enough to bring to light thc fact that he doesn't have any particu- lar hobby: he just messes around. I play at chess, but it requires a lot of thought and concentrationg that's why I just play at it. I asked him whether he had any special nickname and here his brown eyes twin- kled, and he laughed, l'Oh. they call me any number of thingsf, He plays baseball in the spring and supports the football team in the fall. ir , L! ,grlf 1 xx Marie Ncollll Marie was glowingly beer- iaclceted as usual when I sat down beside her. Between bites of the prandial sand- wich all was revealed, albeit laltingly and with much prompting. I like all sports, in spite of the fact that everybody thinks I'm too delicate to play. Boys with green eyes are my favorites, she confessed, and dancing I like, too, but none of that modern stuff! She is def- initely artisticg Seniors, please note! Most of the rest of the conversation was com- mitted to secrecy by Marie's repeated use of the phrase, But don't put that in. Gladys Eddy Fa, sol, la, ti, do. Wllen her voice died away and the theory class had resumed its routine, Gladys opened up into conversation. Interspers- ing her answers to Miss Din- ger with answers directed to me, she managed to tell me all. Gladys's interests, it seems, roam lightly from automobiles t o all-state choruses. School, she ad- mitted, is one of the minor issues of my life. She Con- fesses a love of dining and daneingg social life is her bent. In fact Gladys is an entirely agreeable compan- ion until one starts calling her Giaddy. f I I E refs i a i,fi2?vl lmfwqfbl l 'iJ'1i'T'i'1 I Quay -fl llqf MGH 4 ffffasdf 4 M ul 3 mfs 55 I U , KA 44 xy , N H Q l l 4 y Wai M i I A a W Robert Hamlbriiglht A reddish-brown shock of hair hobbed up and down the hall, arms linked with those of his classmates. A mouth creased in a wide grin, a flushed face, and twinkling blue eyes are but an indication of the joy in living that Bob feels. His studies done for once, he dashed down to the field to help manage the football team. When not water-boy- ing, Mr. Hambright finds his greatest pleasure in play- ing football himself, or any other sport thatls handy. F i Q3 Page 18 THE MILLWHEEL
