Whn Perhaps the busiest girl in school is LORENA De SANCTIS, who still has time for her long line of admiring friends. Editor of the Tucsonian, Secretary of the National Honor Society, Pres- ident of the Tuc-Hi, Girls' Social Hour, and El Cervantes-need we say more? Dark, attractive Lorena certainly heads the list of all as A swell girlf' Showboat or Crutch . . . they both identify the person who holds the position of Tucsonian Managing Editor, WAYNE CRUTCHFIELD. Although Wayne may almost always be seen entertaining his many friends, he is really of quite a serious na- ture. Clt says herelj An incomparable sense of humor combined with good looks and capability make MARY KAY ELLINGSTON one of the most outstanding personalities of the senior class. Witty Mary Kay claims a long list of admiring friends she has acquired in her jobs as editor-in-chief of the Quarterly, managing editor of the Tuc- conian, and senior class secretary. If you have noticed a dark-haired lad around the halls who vows the women and swings a dynamic tennis racquet, he is none other than good looking JACK FRAKES. Also an actor, Jack has been outstanding in such dramatic productions as Our Townf' Jackts preciseness and pleasant nature will insure success in any- thing he attempts, Slender, blue-eyed CONNIE FISH, with her impeccable taste in clothes and her charming personality, is a very popular Hgure around the halls of T.H.S. HC' stands for capability in Connieys alphabet, as she is advertising manager of the Tucsonian and is on the Chronicle editorial board, National Honor Society, Dean's Committee, and the Social Hour Committee. Bursting with pep and vitality is everybody's friend, THOMAS DANIEL FRIDENA. Tom's efforts were concentrated through- out the year on performing the many duties of Senior Class Pres- ident. He also displayed a scrappy brand of football which gain- ed him recognition as center on the 1946 all-state football eleven. 187

Whn Heading the Chronicle staff this year was its editor, capable BILL OKESON. His ingenuity and untiring effort were very potent factors in making the Chronicle one of the outstanding papers in the United States. He represented Tucson this year at Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York City. t'Oky can always be identified by his short, bristly hair cut and his warm, hearty smile. Queen of the T.H.S. tennis courts is vivacious, attractive IRMA PADRES. Congratulations to Irma who has held-down the num- ber one rung on the girls' tennis ladder all year in addition to being president of the Girls, T Club and working on the Social Hour Committee, Chronicle, and Tucsonian. An intelligent and all around good guy are a few of the ad- jectives that describe likable BILL OVER. Student Body Vice Prexy and Business Manager of the Tucsonian, he handled these responsible positions efficiently. Bil1's sense of humor and his smooth personality have done much to carry him to the top. Captain of the 1946 state football champions was modest ART PACHECO. Playing baseball for the Badgers, he also piled up an enviable record in this sport. Art, because of his loyal friend- ship and his bashfulness, was respected and admired by all who knew him. Art was graduated in January and entered the army soon after graduation. Proof of charming ROBIN ROWELL's popularity is the fact that she won this year the coveted title of Rodeo Queen. Red- headed Tweetie,U as she is known to her many friends, can be seen attending each and every Badger function in her important capacity as head photographer of the Chronicle. Witty, jovial HARVEY SLATE displays a high sense of humor and holds the position of assistant Business Manager on the Chron- icle. Harve,' turned in an excellent performance as George Bige- low in the Senior play, t'What A Life. Whenever you feel in need of a laugh, Harve's the character that can drive away the blues.
