Managing the boys' basketball team tor two years has been Len's most important job and from what the team has to say, it couldr-'t have been put in more capable hands. The Grand Union also has a claim on him as he is their A-Number-One clerk atter school. With his flashy yellow sweater and gay ties. we think that he is one ot the school's best dressed boys. 22 Commercial courseq Tri-l-li-Y I, 2, 3.

To most of us, chewing gum, giggles, and unbounded en- thusiasm characterize Wimpy. Her specialties are good times, good times, and more good times. Wimp certainly believes in being merry while you can, and she is teaching us through her example. She hasn't missed a basketball game this year. so we guess that this, along with skiing, must be har favorite sport. Now who dares to ask why? PAYNE, GENEVA Home Economics course: Tri-l-li-Y I, 2, 3. To the person who does not know her, Geneva seems rather reserved and quiet but to one who does know her charming dig- nity, it seems a great relief from the common run ot chattering, noisy people. We don't know what her plans are but we are sure she will be at the top. We'll surely miss you. Geneva. and we are sorry tor our sake that you are leaving us. ROSENDALE. MARILYN General courseg M. H.

During her junior year she did a splendid job of acting in the Library Benetit. She plans to make photography her career, and we know she'll be a success. ROUNDS, BETTY l-lorne Economics: Chorus 3: Cheer leader 4. What a girl! If you want to know one of the peppiest, most energetic persons in the school, you must meet Betty. As a cheer leader she's tops: she shines on the dance floor, too. She's a peach-always willing to do her share in everything and can always be depended upon to put it over. What would we do without her? 21
