RAVELIN 'S GORDON HARVEY SHORTSLEEVES Shorty A lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing. Shorty is a great fellow, very generous and good hearted. He never allows any girls to walk home if he has his car. He may be found many times during the day, teasing the girls till they get so angry that they almost cry. Shorty does it all in fun. He cannot be kept down for if he cannot do a certain thing, he takes a round about way until it is accomplished. You can't find a better fellow in town than Shorty because of his good company and generosity.

GEORGE SIBLEY Susie A man of strife and a man of contention. Boy, or boy, oh boy, can Susie argue. Ask any one in com- mercial law or bookkeeping. He isn't on that honor roll for nothing. We really think that the main reason for this is to sit in the presi- dent's cabinet some day. He's a good old pal, though. We hope his desire to be Ben Bernie's assistant will some day come true, for when vou hear his bum-bum-ba-dum-dum you know it's Susie, Here's luck.

RAVELIN 'S RAYMOND FRANCIS PORTER Hziply He dances like an angel. Zip is the most happy-go-lucky boy in high school. With a smile each morning and a, smile each night for anyone, we d0n't wonder that the girls all like him. He surely never takes studies VGYY SeI'i011Sly, but the Commercial Club is going to miss him at its tea dances. He won't be a bookkeeping teacher but we wouldn't be surprised to see him leading a jazz orchestra. With the great ability of making friends and being popular, he is bound to succeed. We don't know what his future plans are, but we all Wish him the best o' luck. Activities: Baseball 1, 2, 45 Basketball 1, 23 Commercial Club 3, 43 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. JOSEPH FRANCIS PRUNIER uJ0e,, Everybody can see that the people who hunt are the right people A friend in need is a friend indeed! Joe is always on hand when needed. Joeis favorite sports are fishing and hunting. It does not matter what the weather is like, little Joe must go hunting when the season opens. One thing he likes, and that is to give a fifteen minute oral theme. His plans for the future are undecided. Activities: Baseball 1, 45 Commercial Club 45 Glee Club 3, 45 French Club 1. EDWARD THOMAS ROBIDOUX ttEddyvs He speaketh not and yet there lies a conversation in his eyes. Little Eddy is a fine friend. He does all he can to make Com- mercial Clubs a success. He is learning to dance because he ex- pects to shine at the Senior Hop, Without Eddy the shorthand class would be dead. Eddy lfkes long hani better than shorthand any day.

RAVELIN 'S GLADYS EVELYN STONE Stonie You have a mind careful in business, unmoved either in time of prosperity or doubt. How 'bout cha! This little phrase usually announces the entrance of Gladys to a room. The Juniors, Sophomores and Fresh- men always hate to have Stonie coming in their direction for they know right well that she is coming to collect their money for Ravelin's. G stands for garrulous L stands for lively A stands for ambition D stands for decisive Y stands for year-book business manager S stands for the sport effect of her clothes. Activities: Basketball 2, 3, 43 Pencil, Pad and Key Club 3, 43 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Ravelin's Board 43 Dramatics 1. 43 Operetta 33 Business Manager of Year Book 43 Honor Roll: Demos Forensic Club 1. MARY VITKUS Mary f'Tliy m0desty's a candle to thy merit. Mary is quiet but everyone knows she is around because of her pleasant ways. She was a great help to the varsity basketball team all during her high school days. She has a smile for you in the morning and is a help to yo'u all day. She appreciates a good joke, at the right time, but does not fool away her time, and is very de- pendable. Mary has a desire to obtain a pilot's license and here's hoping she doesn't land in the top of a tree. Activities: Track 13 Glee Club 1, 2, 33 Basketball 2, 3, 4. ELSIE MINERVA WILLEY Willie For oh! Eternity's too short To utter all thy praise. If you see someone with a welcoming smile-it's Elsie. Effi- ciency is her motto. Her willingness to be of service to others is remarkable. No one can see how she can get all her Work done and be so active in plays and basketball and look after Ravelin's, with only a. twenty-four hour day, but evidently she does get her work done. The underclass members are saying I am going to try hard and be like 'Willie'. Your chance has come, don't pass it up.
