Left to Right: Kenneth Kea, France 1 ; Murray, Ted Ashby, Constantine Tsitsera, Billy Hilling and Ira Davis. Constantine Tsitsera was the senior ' s choice for president in both the 4 Low and 4 High classes. His brilliant mind, friendly personality, and good looks have won for him many friends. Constantine ' s name appears on the Nelms Honor Scroll five times, and his service to the school will be unforgettable in his record of serving as the chairman of the Literary Club citizenship committee which was in charge of high school bond and stamp sales during the war. Ted Ashby was elected by the seniors to fill the office of vice-president. Ted ' s congenial personality has made him a favorite with each of his classmates in high school. He has held various offices in his home room and served on the business staff of the Anchor. Billy Hilling was elected secretary of the 4 Low and 4 High classes by the seniors. Billy served as Student Council representative of his freshman and sophomore classes and was secretary of the student body for one year. He won a letter on the varsity basketball team during his senior year. Frances Murray, senior treasurer, served as vice-president of the 4 Low class and secretary of the junior class. Her keen mind will always be remembered in the school as she leaves with her name on the Nelms Honor Scroll four times. Frances served as Head Registrar in school elections for two years, was co-editor of the Anchor, and was the recipient of the D.A.R. good citizen award in 1945. Kenneth Kea, senior representative to the Student Council Executive Board, was elected to serve in both the 4 Low and 4 High terms. He has served on the dance and remembrance committees of the Student Council, and was an elec- tion official for two years. Kenneth won a letter in his first season on the track team, thereby obtaining membership in the Varsity Club. Ira Davis, class speaker of the senior class, has been active in school af- fairs since his freshman year. His out-standing work in the drama department and on the production staffs of the Cantata and the concert of ' 45 won for him election to the National Thespians. He has been a reporter for the Beacon, and joined the Literary Club in his junior year. Twelve
