ANNETTE PYE 'NNETTEH 'Nnette, our popular class president, is well known for her star playing as forward on the basketball team for three years. 'Nnette not only excells in athletics but she is one of our most brilliant pupils. She has had a share i11 school activities and has always proven very competent in all she has undertaken. EDITH SCI-IUPNER EDITH Edith has among her various accomplishments the ability of eating eclairs in American History Class unnoticed f?J. Through her four years in the school she has been the greatest adventuress into the land of fun. She has been a very depend- able member of the basketball team for two years and has play- ed her part as side center most successfully and competently. Edith is a very active member of her class and also a reliable one. MARGARET McINTYRE PEGGY Margaret more familiarly called Peggy, is a sweet pensive child. She is quite often the only one with her French lesson well prepared. We doubt if Peggy has ever had the extremely delightfully experience of being sent from class. During the four years in high school, Peggy has been a very diligent pupil and is regarded with admiration for the way she manages to pre- pare her English from 8:30 to 8:45 in the morning. ISABEL POWLES lSABEL X Isabel is one of the envied members of the commercial divi- sion, she comes for so few periods. Already she is a woman of the world and holds down a position in the village. No grass growing under Isabel! Hooker Cafter a very bad recitationj-Class is dismissed, don't flap your ears when you go out. First Feline-Mrs. Bargayne-Hunter married a shopwalker at Gimbel's. Second Feline-So I heard. First Feline--And now she thinks she could have done better at Macy's. How did it feel to drop four miles and a half in a parachute? Madam, if you must know, replied the bored aviator, I had a sinking feeling. The Owl, Page 24
