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.

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.

ii-71' Et' xx One of the brightest boys in our midst is CRAIG HPINOCCHIOH SMITH. Having piled up an impressive record since entering T.H.S., Craig is on the editorial board of the Quarterly and is active as Council- man-at-large. In his second year, Smith was tabbed as the Junior most likely to succeed. Lanky I-IORNEY THOMAS, a great Sportsman who is at his best when the going is toughest, is an all-state basketball forward and a regular fellow. His modest manner and his straight-forwardness have combined to make Horney one of the unforgettables of the class of '46. Tall, broadshouldered JIM TOLLEY is Student Body President and star guard on the football team. He is noted for his conscientious leadership and his steadfast determination. Although usually calm and collected, Jim sometimes becomes excited while describing some hap- pening, and anyone within range of his flaying arms is apt to suffer. Merely to say that lively MILFORD WILSON is the possessor of a scintillating personality would be quite insufficient. Millie is the kind of person who always makes you wonder where she gets all her energy and zest and at the same time fills such important positions as Secre- tary of the Junior Red Cross and Quarterly Editorial Board member.
