Although he is quiet mannered, we bet the boy has some secret passion. Who is she. Eld?

She and Irene are the best of friends.

Why don’t you know, that’s Mrs. Beuck’s little white hope. ’’Willyam”! The girls tell us that besides being so-o-o-o handsome escort, he’s an oh so-o-o-o marvelous master of dance. Page 22

I le has capably attended to his duties as purser of our class besides his other numerous activities. ADAM ANDRES “Ets” Football 2 Varsity I Glee Club “Ets” belongs to the group of pupils who prefer to be seen rather than heard. I lis blond locks and readiness to blush proclaim that he would be as big hit with the girls as he was with football, if he would only give them a chance. SYLVIA ARMSTRONG Sylvia is the Jean Harlow of our class. She is petite and quiet, but beneath that calm exterior we know she’s as kittenish as the rest of us. Isn’t that so. Sylvia? RICHARD ASEL “Dick” Dick is decidedly air-minded. If there’s anything you want to know about an airplane, see him. Rich should be successful in any line of work for he is conscientious and level headed. Page 21
