She is an accomplished pianist and has always been obliging when we needed an accompanist.

JAMES SMITH President Senior Class Music Club Hi-Y Vice-President '48-'49 Baseball Manager '49-'50 Science Club Treasurer '47-'48 Smitty is one of our outstanding members, and another charter member. Smitty's cars, Cuhot-rod and touring l, are his absorbing interests We nev er know what he'll drive up in next, but we're always sure he'll drive wherever we go. The Senior Class would be lost without Smitty's hot-rod to do our er- rands. Smitty is a real man-about-town with all the girls. Blondes preferr- ed! Smitty's constant friend is Haley. They are both members of the great Jolly Boys' Club . His future plans include a truck-farm in Windsor. Suc- cess to our class president. HAROLD TWINING Hi-Y Science Club Vice-President '49-'50 Tiny is the appropriate nickname of this boy. He is a newcomer who has been with us only in high school. He has one hobby - stamp collecting. He has no interest in the girls. His best friend is Floyd Fisk. He owns a car but gets very nervous at inspection time. He plans to be a mechanic and we hope his struggles with Trig will benefit him there. RICHARD WILLIAMS Hi-Y Social Studies Club Music Club Band Boys' State '48 Richard's nickname is Butch . His one and only hobby is sports. He may become a great sports announcer someday for he really loves this work. Butch is a good, earnest student and was our American Legion representative at camp in '48. He has a fine personality but has little to do with women. He is in the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps. Butch hopes to join the Army Air Force and become a pilot. He is likely to succeed in life because of his fine personality and excellent character. Farewell to him and the Class of '50. ll
