 FRANCES HANNA Banquet Committee; Cap and Gown Committee. Again a class President chooses a blonde. Say fellows! There must be something in that saying after all. Thinking about Al’s future we are afraid—yea. even have grave apprehensions that this is another girl whose mind will be wasted (?) in the kitchen. In thinking of Frances we always associate cheerfulness and class spirit for these are her predominating characteristics. GERALD HARPER This brave and gallant youth came from the wilds of Kanevillc. With its numbers he fought, struggled and bled. The conflict was long and severe, but at last fortune has smiled and he is readv to leave. x-x-x-x STEPHEN HARRINGTON Senior Play; Junior Play; Assistant Stage Manager. If you want to see a busybody, just watch Steve. Possessed of musical talent, he is invaluable to the class. Remember the tent scene in the “Poor Nut.” That was the result of Steve’s efforts, and we predict that Steve will be a future stage director at Hollywood. x-x—x-x ELIZABETH HEGEDUS “Someone using big words?” That’s Betty. She is a very LOQUACIOUS person despite her small stature. Betty left us at midterm but there still lingers in our memory the sight of those beautiful blonde locks. x-x—x—x CAROLYN HENDERSON Vice-President 3; Jr. Prom. Committee; Sr. Play. The Venus de Milo. We all agree to that. Here is a merry, dancing, mischievous spirit, who has a mighty good time without having it at the expense of her lessons. She is very popular with all.

WILLMA GREEN JOHN GRIFFITH JOSEPH GUYDA Willma s motto is Never let study interfere with pleasure but this denies the truth of her grades. To many she may seem a bit reserved, but her ready wit furnishes entertainment for those who know her,well. jj f j t-x-t- 3L (Johnny) Boys Board of Control; Jr. Play; Sr. Play Committee; Sr. Play; Assistant Football Manager 3; Football Manager 4; Assistant Business Manager of Oil Can; Picnic Committee. Johnny didn’t take a correspondence course in How to be the life of every party. but he is It anyway. He’s got that personality and optimism to bring you up to earth and smile. i-t-t--t (Joe) Here is one that would fool you. He is bashful, but when he becomes your friend, you find none better. We admit that Joe is quite stubborn, but. however, not with the girls. JOHN HACKETT John has always been conspicuous by his absence and to him we award the medal for missing school. His clever and pleasing wit is a necessary and expected element in the class- t—x JAMES HADLEY (Jim) Football 3-4; Varsity 3-4; Basket Ball 3; Jr. Dance Committee; Jr. Picnic Committee; Sr. Dance Committee; Jr. Play; Sr. Play. The sheik of Siverly and how he does sheik. We think that Jim has given every girl in Siverly a fling, and speaking of lines, you’ve missed something if you haven’t heard Jim’s. Carefree is the keynote of curly-headed Jim’s existence. Jim is also the skipper of the white elephant (uncovered wagon). r- L 8 IS 24

©iikicm P vw wym ESTHER HERRON Esther has always been the quiet type of girl of which there are a very few. Unless you seek her out you will never learn what a keen intellect she has and how much knowledge she possesses. t-t-t-x MARION HINKSON Banquet Committee. (Hinkey) Such a charming disposition, such an attractive personality, is it any wonder we all love her? We don't think that Marion will spend the rest of her life with the Bachelorettcs. H-M MARION HOLBROOK (Ducky) Jr. Play; Jr. Play Committee; Jr. Picnic Committee; Captain Sr. Girls Basketball Ducky with her “I’ll put a tin ear on you,’’ et cetra. has realized the joy of High School life and has made a lot of friends. Ducky i — he local R. F. D. statiojj in th 5tudy Hall. x-t—x-x ARTHUR HOLT (Art) Art is mistaken sometimes by under-classmen for a member of the faculty because of his dignified and portly bearing. From what we know of Art in P. D. class we think that he will become one of Oil City’s influential politicians (hand shaker and cigar passer). x-x-x-x HARVEY HOMER Everything comes to him who waits. But you must hustle while you wait. Harvey chose the afternoon session for some reason, wonder why? Maybe someone else can account for sleepy look. 26
