Why Doris, of course. She could even make a woman confess her age. She’s not only quiet, studious, and smart; but she is a very, very loyal friend and a good sport. GRACE CROCKER Grace’s mental ability and her host of friends are certainly not in comparison with her small stature. She’s neat, petite, sweet and makes the honor roll every month. She and Phyllis are the best of friends. DONALD CROPP Don left us at midterm and we certainly miss his curly hair, and pleasant grin. I lis main interest is a coed at Penn State Dorothy by name.

I larriett may have something to say about it. ANNA DAYTON “Ann” Opera Faust Glee Club 1-3-4 Anna has two great passions, singing and Bernard, but with a voice and dark, twinkling eyes like hers, do you blame her or Bernard much? Maybe you don’t know Anna; in that case, you’re missing something. CHARLES DECKER “Chuck ” Chuck plays chauffeur, adviser, and what-not to Jerry and likes it. In fact, they both do. I le’s a good dancer. We wonder how Chuck can say such humorous things and still keep a straight face.
