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.

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. Activities: Treasurer 25 Vice-Piesident 45 Commercial Club 3, 45 Basketball 3, 4: Cross Country 3, 45 Track Team 45 Baseball 35 Manager 45 Finance Board 45 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Class Will 45 Chairman of Publicity Committee for Prom. 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.

HAZEL IRENE STOLL Shorty Notes that wing their heavenly ways To mend the choirs above. Shorty is an active all around girl.

Shorty is always good natured, and always ready with a helping hand. She has won prizes both in drawing and typewriting. The senior boys have much fun teasing her.
