It Happened the senior highlights rhave'yet to be uncovered., 1 X v 1 1 I . I A A N no ci ever guess tnat one or our nusky varsity Iootnau stars, Puss Newton, was adept at tickling tHE That . . ivories? Or that Nancy Bratten plays the piano as efliciently as a concert star. Helen Steger is proficient on the keyboard, too, and have you ever heard her sing? She has a lovely contralto voice. Robert E. Yoeum Academic Bob Varsity jbolball 05 Track 3,' Athletic club 3, 11 NOTED Fon: Naturalist TRAITS: Garrulous PASTIME: Hunting, trapping, fishing AMBITION: Employment APTITUDES: Science, mechanics Pauline Baker warbles sweet and high to almost any popular tune. She, too, tickles the ivories in no mean way. And there's Dot F asnaeht. She's continually decorating the walls with her super sketches of fine figures with shapely legs. Virginia Longyear is the poet laureate of the class. She not only writes poetry but is a whizz at reading it. VVould you ever guess that those fun-loving fellows, .lacob Barber and Dick Snell, were the brainy wizards of their respective eighth-grade classes-New Cumberland and New Market. They won the Legion award. Betty Firestone, although having appeared in the senior play, has never rocked the auditorium with her humorous readings. Three little girls from school are we -Marian, Pat and Alma Lisse. With this theme song the Victory Trio burst into song and help keep up the soldiers' morale. Have you ever heard Pete Miller, our second Gene Krupa, go to town on the drums? M'-lr? A 'fwfr 'K , vii Mr Q 44' V .I is . 5 1.1M .V :-.Q.+.,h.,3.,, 1. Swag' 5, no .'i,:'f' i 5'
