VALERE RUTH LEIPHART From Hallam every day she comes To study how to make things hum Two merry eyes, a jolly face Come smiling through to Win the race Good news from Hellam she oft 'brings About their teams and who will win A jolly sport through all the fhours She's spent at this old high of ours Aw Take a Leap ALERE RUTH LEIPHART was born on the eighteenth of March, 1914, in the small town of Hallam. She received the better part of her education at the Hallam schools. Due to the fact that Hallam has only a three year high school course, Valere finished her fourth year at North York. She can always be heard around the school kidding with one of the senior boys who finally discovered he has met his match in this type of fun. Valere is one of our exceptionally good English students. If Mr. McGuigan asks her one of his intelligent questions, she always has a good answer ready for him. Valere very seldom becomes perplexed, but when she does, everybody knows it by her big eyes, which seem to aid her in her low moments. It may be said for her that she is one of the few girls who do not join in the meetings of the Old Maid's society held by the girls of the senior class. A Although she has only been here for one year Valere has already joined in many of the activities. She has contributed to our assembly programs with many delightful piano selections. With her talent she has become the assistant school pianist. She aided in the production of the operetta for '30, entitled, The Gypsy Rover. It is Valere's ambition to become a secretary. She expects to con- tinue her education at Thompson's Business college, where she will in- crease her commercial knowledge. 23
