IRENE STELLWAGEN G. A. A. “Polly Lou” Glee Club Her smile is always cheery, Her laughter always gay; With her we’re never dreary, She cheers us on the way. FRANK VAN WAGNER Baseball (1) (2) Basket Ball (1) B. A. A. Van Wagner in our class is the handsomest boy, To his teachers and friends he’s a great deal of joy. His humor and nature have won every heart We all have admired him right from the start. We know that in life he’ll surely succeed For “Do ivhat. is right” and Work” are his creeds. ISABELLE Von OEHSEN Class Treasurer (2) (3) (4) Aloenim (3) (4) G. A. A. Vice-Pres. (4) Glee Club (3) (4) Charge to The Juniors “Polly Lou” “And still they gazed, And still the wonder grew, That one small head Could carry all she knew.” Now that she has stolen the hearts of the Senior Class, and particularly of a certain blond young man, we send Billy” off to Wellesley to win the hearts up there.

(3) (4) “Polly Lou” Basket Ball (3) (4) Track Team Glee Club (3) (4) Aloenim (2) (3) Editor (4) Winner of Triangular Speaking Contest (3) Class Recitationist When we recall our high school days we shall always picture Joan cheering a basketball team to victory, winning prizes as a public speaker, (occasion- ally being late for class, but always getting good ratings), and ever work- ing for Mineola High. We all wish her luck in her chosen career as a nurse. WILLIAM STEIDINGER B. A. A. Baseball (4) Bill drawls it out, but he always fnds a ready audience.
