CLARA CHRISTOPHER THOMSON Four Years Those graceful ads, (hose thousand decencies that { laity flow from all her words and actions ' Chris is the kind of girl we all love. Slie has sparkling blue eyes, loads of pep and spirit, and an infectious, boisterous way of laughing. Her “Hey, listen von guys! ' ' is always respected and obeyed, and w hen our wonderful, warm Chris has to give an order, she gives it with tact and with friendliness, qualities which no one can resent.

Yet Genie blends a whimsical gleefulness with a mature sense of responsibility. Her practical common sense covers a Hair for dramatics which is reflected 1 her work in summer stock. All in all, Genie is a mixture of very contradictory things. Yellow Team: Class Preside it III. Student Body President IV; Basketball II, IV, Vemiis III.
