LAURIN GRIGGS (Larry) Larry, pick up your feet, and put 'em down right!!!! Larry seems to have quite a liking for the lower class. Come to think of it. we believe he's not as quiet as he seems. Better be a self starter than make the teacher a crank. RENA GUISEWITE If you want a thing done well, don’t do it yourself—let Rena do it for you. A Senior Class meeting wasn't a meeting unless Rena was there—we found that out at the very first. Oh, that smile! t tt $ JOSEPH GUYTON (Joe) And his dreams go marching on.” We think this is appropriate, but we hope a snappy kid like Joe isn't sleeping all the time, although he is spread out all over his desk with nothing in sight but the back of his head. He's a dandy guy. JOHN HADLEY (Jack) Football Varsity 4; Basketball 4. Who is that pretty prattling child? Wherever Jack is. Sam is also to be found. They are the masterpieces of foolishness—or the most foolish of masterpieces. Jack never walks because he has a good reason not to. EUGENE HAGAN (Gene) Assistant Business Manager of Oil Can; Property Committee; Senior Nominating Committee. Gene is the boy who plays the big Bass Horn—that's why he is all wrapped up in his music. It seems as though Gene is getting a lot Weiser. at least he and Lois are seen a lot together. Gene was largely responsible for the success of the Oil Can since he spent countless hours as a business manager-No one could have been better. 24

EVELYN FELLERS We know three things about Evelyn for sure—that she has the curliest hair in school—that she is very much intcrestedi n a Chrysler and that the driver of the car is named Earl. That’s all right. Evelyn. And thcyjlivcd happily ever after. RUTH FIDDLER (Torchy) Junior Play Committee; Junior Play; Joke Editor of Oil Can; Senior Play. We all have to admit that Torchy is sure one good actress. We expect to see her name on Broadway in a few years in competition with Gilda Grey. We also know that she could take the comedy roles just as well. The sweetest girl in ’29. ALBERTA FLOCKERZI This is one case where we would all like to say Would that there were more like her. Then there would be’Jno chance for the blues. For we know that her smile chases the blues away. WADE GEORGE Senior Play; Basketball Varsity 3; Cheer Leader 4. Wade says: Hang care, care would kill a cat. therefore, let’s be merry.” We know Wade lives up to this by his hearty laugh and peppy disposition. We don’t know whether he will be a gas man, ice cream man, or Public Speaker, (neither does Wade). ♦ tit HAZEL GIBSON Petite, sweet, and neat! We find in Hazel a true friend and a good sport. When she smiles, the world smiles with her—what more could one ask? We never see Hazel without her twin sister Lucille.

JANE HANSEN Jane is one of the silent members of the class. (She found that out). Jane left us at mid-term and we sure were sorry to see her go. We are expecting Jane at the altar of matrimony. Nuff sed. GLADYS HARGENRADER Gladys and Ethel seem like shadows. We don't know which is Mary and which is the lamb, but anyway they fit into the poem perfectly for they are always together. BERNARD HAUMESSER (Beanie) Football Varsity 4; Basketball 4. Beanie is having a hard time finding his IDEAL.” The odd part is that he has no idea what his “IDEAL” looks like. Neither do the rest of us. but then Beanie never did worry us much. Beanie is also one of the football stars of the class. He didn't carry the ball much but when he tackled, someone sure stayed put. We expect Beanie to be a big college star some day. $ $ OPAL HENDERSON Opal, as it were, is known to all Hi-Yians as the powerful waitress at those good (?) meatloaf dinners in the Y-Cafeteria. Some day some lucky Hi-Y shiek will be getting grub just as good and maybe better, but not r.t a restaurant. JACK HERSHELMAN (Hershy) Football 3, 4; Varsity 4, Junior Dance Committee; Cap and Gown Committee; Stage Manager 3( 4. Gang way. I’m coming. That’s Jacks password on the gridiron. We all think that some big college has an All American in view. Then too. he has a charging personality that hits his line of friends with a force that opens a hole big enough to drive six fullbacks through. He's tough too. Boy those whiskers.
