Reginald H. Robinson “Reggie” Football J.V. (1, 2). Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Boys' Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (4), Pendant (4); Freshman Reception Refreshment Committee Chairman (4) Reg is standard equipment in the chorus and sings a mean bass. We once thought Reg was a rather subdued guy until we got to know him better. Then we found out that he is really a potential life-of-the-party who’s just waiting for a push into a good time. And man, is he a cool dancer—both for that smooth music and the rock ’n roll. Keep your eyes on the Fred Astaire of the Class of ’56. Someday you can say that you knew him when.... Chester E. Rollins “Chet Chet’s quite the clown, though you might not guess it at first. Perpetually good-natured, this fellow is indeed a good sport—even when the joke’s on him. He’s also a depend- able and loyal Solon fan, too—the kind we like to cheer with. And when his eyes start twinkling, there’s mischief about; so don’t go away, stay around for the fun. George B. Roop George not only talks a blue streak—he drives one, too. A free and easy manner plus a sixth sense of humor are his special trademarks. An ardent Campus patron, George can usually be found socializing in that hallowed spot. As for the future? Who can tell? Or, as the saying goes, “Ask George.” Alan B. Shute “Shutsie Football J.V. (1). Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Basketball Manager (3. 4); Baseball J.V. (2); Track (3, 4); Masque (3, 4), The Lottery” (3), Parting at Imsdorf” (4), She Stoops to Conquer” (4) Have you heard the one about... ? A1 will tell you if you haven’t. Wherever there’s action—on the football field or at a party—you’ll find A1 in the thick of it. You must have seen him at the basketball games for that’s what he manages so capably. The Masque has used Al’s “ham” in several pro- ductions. Can he sing? We mean — CAN HE SING! Or haven’t you heard about those informal quartets???

Elinor M. Pierce “Ellie” GAA (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Cheerleading J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4); Class Vice-President (1); Girls Glee Club (2); Masque (1, 2, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Style Show (2); Freshman Re- ception Invitations Committee Chairman (1) Here is our choice for the most popular girl in the Class of ’56, a three-year varsity cheerleader whose spunk and sparkle helped keep us cheering until we were hoarse. She’s also popular with underclassmen for whom she conjures up senior privileges. C. Roger Reynolds Rog” Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Ski Team (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2); Boys’ State (3); Junior Prom Refreshment Com- mittee Chairman (3); Track (3, 4) Big and husky, Rog is one of our more ubiquitous foot- ball players. In the mad old summertime he is the pool’s veritable “Black Boy!” And, in the winter Rog makes like a jumping jack with those hickories. Clyde’s everybody’s pal—generous and friendly. And if clothes make the man, this guy’s claim to that title is assured. (For the long and the short of it, consult L.K.) Edwin E. Reynolds “Eddie” Ski Club (1, 3, 4), Ski Team J.V. (1). Varsity (3, 4). Letter (3); Tick- et Squad (1) Need a ride to The Mountain? Here’s a good man to contact because Eddie’s sure to say, “Yeah, sure come along with me.” To go along with his skiing ability this lad has such assets as a straightforward personality, a devilish sense of humor, a yen for a good time, and a sincere enjoy- ment of people. Ed gets so much fun out of living; he’s a sure bet for success. Gail Richardson GAA (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Style Show (2) Here’s a merry lassie! Just ask anyone within giggling distance if Gail is solemn and serious and you’ll hear “No!”. Gail has worked on Solonscope, Record and in GAA and Glee Club. Her friendliness and ready smile have won her many friends here at MHS and we’re sure it won’t be long before she’s some boss favorite secretary.

David R. Sierra Be be Football J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2). Captain (4); Easeball J.V. (1), Manager (2, 3, 4); Baseball Manager (2); Track (3); Masque (4), “She Stoops to Conquer” (4); Freshman Reception Clean-up Committee Chairman (4) Half a truck is better than none and Dave’s has a smoke- stack, no less. Dave’s our class comedian and also the perfect emcee. More important, Dave is one of our rugged football linemen, and opponents cringe when they see him coming. Recently he added dramatics to his list of talents. And speak- ing of talents, we mustn’t forget his ability to keep the girls guessing. Harriet R. Slosberg “Hayit GAA (2, 3, 4); Class Treasurer (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), Secretary (4), Pendant (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Sunday Costs Five Pesos” (3), Pin (4); Pro- Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Student Council (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3. 4); Record Board (1, 2, 3, 4); Co-Chairman of Junior Prom (3); Style Show (4). Watch those twinkling eyes and flashing black high- lights because Harriet’s the gal who has a natural gift for making and keeping friends. A person with many responsi- bilities, she works hard and is always willing to lend a hand. However, it’s not all work and no play for Harriet, for where there’s a party, there’s Harriet and her camera. Nancy J. Smith “Nan Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (2) Nancy’s the underclassmen’s conception of what a de- mure, dignified senior should be like. To the seniors she’s the gal with the cute smile and bubbling giggle who has often added a bit o’ fun to those dreary study halls. Variety is the spice of Nancy’s life and also the theme of her wardrobe. Best of luck to you, Nancy, and just keep right on smiling. Barbara J. Stone “Bobbi Masque (2, 3, 4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (3, 4); Style Show (2. 4) Barb is our popular femme fatale masquerading as a serious senior. Popular with both fellows and gals, she lays claim to a multitude of friends. Always organized, she’s a natural for the Record’s capable organizations chairman. A pixie-like hairdo and a well-groomed look belong to this gal along with a sparkling personality that we certainly do envy.
