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.
