WALLACE REED DEAN PRINCE DARRELL RAHDER JOAN RAKOWSKI MARIE RIX ROBERT SCHAFFER CORIN’NE RICHTER WALLACE REED . . . “Wally the Clown,” one of the best-liked fellows in the senior class, was the possessor of an omnivorous appetite, not only for food, but for work and for pleasure. It’s true that he was athletically inclined—just ask him to show you his muscles! He is the kind of fellow who keeps everything light in his carefree, easy-going way.

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.
