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.

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

ROSE MARIE HEYISON (Rosie) There was never a basketball game without Rosie. But she was there out of sisterly love, and that we think, was the cause of Jake‘s going up. Who couldn’t go up with a sister like that to help one) NORINE HILL Norine is one of Miss Cribbs’ Problems of Democracy students and she sure knows her P. of D. We all got a scare the day she contradicted her advisor but nothing drastic happened. It just goes to show that you can’t pull the wool over her eyes. MAYNARD HIPWELL (Hippy) Junior Class President; Senior Play Committee; Athletic Editor of Oil Can; Football 28-29; Varsity Basketball 28-29; Captain Basketball 29; Baseball 28. “Give Hippy the ball.” This was the remark everyone made in the critical moment of the game for it was a well known fact that if anyone could make a gain, it was Hippy. As Junior Class President. Hippy carried us through a very successful year. RALPH HIRST (Red) Chairman of Ticket Committee; Class Prophet. Ralph heads the list when it comes to playing the wind-fiddle (accordian) and getting high marks. The less we say the more justice we do to Ralph, not because there isn t much to say—. That’s just it. If we ever started it would take up this whole book. MARGARET HOLLABAUGH We hear that Margaret is going to move to Hydetown. and we think that she has another attraction besides the country air —who is he and what does he look like? Ask Margaret. She also plays a mean clarinet.
