POPULARITY QUEEN Much to the delight of Mr. and Mrs. William Wasserman and family, a prize package was delivered to them on July 7, 1929. It so happened it was a lovely baby girl, weighing 7 lbs. and 2 oz., with brown hair and brown eyes. The lovely name, Angela Marie, was bestowed upon the child. As she grew older she was better known as Angie to her friends and playmates. Angela attended St. Ignatius School from the first to the fifth grades, then she came to Olney. During this time all those who knew Angela grew to admire her. Angela has had the honor of being an attendant in her Sophomore and Junior years, and has taken part in many other activities. She is valedictorian of her. class. Her favorite sports are skating and dancing. Now Angela has been chosen the most popular girl in the school, an honor which she deserves. Congratulations, Angela! ! ! POPULARITY KING At 8:30, on a warm spring evening, the stork called on Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weiland, bringing them a bundle. They often wondered whether they would be using blue or pink booties. They soon found they would be using blue, for their bundle held a cute baby boy with blond hair and blue eyes. He was named Floyd Joseph. When the time came for Floyd to go to school, he attended the old Olney School building. After com- pleting six years there, he came to the new building with the others and now is a Senior. Floyd's favorite sports are dancing, skating, and basketball. Like other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wei- land wanted their boy to be a football star. Since Olney has no football team, Floyd was on the basket- ball team and made his parents' wishes come true by being one of the five Wood County Champs of '-46. Floyd has been an attendant for two years. He has now been chosen popularity king of '46. This title could not be better placed. Congratulations, Floyd! ! ! OUR MAY QUEEN Even though the wind was howling, and the snow was piling up in heaps, the stork didn't forget the appointment it had made with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Spencer, for January 3, 1928. He came to St. Vincent's hospital as he promised and left Mrs. Spencer a tiny bundle of mirth and joy, which turned out to be a roly-poly baby girl with blonde hair, sky-blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer decided to call the little tyke June Elaine, later confirmed June Elaine Harvette Spencer. The Spencer family resided in Toledo, on Parker Avenue, until little June was six years old. The following summer the family decided they would move to Rome, New York, for a change. June entered the first grade in a school in Rome. She went through her first year making many friends. The following summer the family thought they liked Toledo, Ohio, much better, so they came back. They then bought a bungalow off Woodville Road, not far from Olney School. June entered Olney in T936 in the second grade. As in New York, she was very popular all through her twelve years of school. Now at the age of eighteen, June is five feet, two inches tall, has light brown hair, blue eyes and weighs l'l7 pounds. Her favorite pastimes are dancing, skating, bowling, boating ,and playing her saxo- phone. June, reigning as Queen of May, well deserves the great honor bestowed upon her. We Seniors are proud to have you for a classmate, June. 23
