MARIAN NIEWOHNER . . . Combining a pleasant geniality with a lot of enthusiasm, Marian has given proof of her ability in everything she undertook.

N’Ergette 5. 6. 7. 8. treasurer 8; Hi-Note club 1. 2; vocal musical 2 ; Allied Youth 3, 4. 5. 6. DON OLSEN . . . Although Ole had his share of work, what with the checkings and duckings in the locker room and his hours of devoted work on the sports page of the Panther, his carefree and unassuming manner made him a sparkplug in every activity he undertook. Ole was one of the best-liked fellows in the class of ’48.

Butch has time for anything except studies, and we often wonder if he realizes why textbooks are issued. Characterized by a supremely good nature, he could always laugh and take a joke, even on himself, and his willingness always to enter into fun make him a welcome addition to any group. Hi-Y 5. 6. NADEEN MORRIS MARIAN NIEWOHNER JOY ANN OLSEN JOAN NIEWOHNER GEORGE OTTMAN DON OLSEN VERN OM MERMAN GLORIA POWER GEORGE OTTMAN ...

GLORIA POWER . . . The twinkle in her eye kept Gloria and her friends from leading a lonesome life.

Hi-Note club 2 : Panther ad solicitor 5. 6. 7. 8 : Tri-Hi-Y 7. 8. DEAN PRINCE . . . Possessing a definite sense of analysis, “Little Dean’’ was able to take academic hurdles in stride. He was quick to make friends because of his mild manners combined with a great sense of sincerity.

Dixie bounces and bubbles with energy. DOLORES MILLE . . . Seldom do we find attributes of poise, charm, the utmost in dependability, leadership, and scholarship combined in the makeup of one person.
