Robert Lash Bob is a humorist and always will be. l-le ran the popular humor column of the Weekly for a year and his name is synonymous with puns and fun. Being a jokester himself, he appreciates humor in others, and the best part of a joke is watching Bob laugh. l-le comes from Salina, Kansas, and is proud of it. By hard work he has made a name for himself in basketball, and on top of that he was manager for both the football and basketball teams, Elaine l.evine Elaine's infectious giggle is the wel- come reward of our feeble attempts at humor, she is the ideal audience. Under her veneer of carefree happiness she also has one of the class's most brilliant minds, which enables her to wade through Virgil and lesser horrors w'ith great ease. Elaine is generous with her time, thought, energy, and laughter. ,lanet Krauss Though Janet is retiring, she has definite opinions and interesting knowl- edge. She is guided by a burning ambition to reach heights in the medical profession. Returning from Arizona this year, Janet has acquired distinction by graduating with only three years of l-ligh School behind her. Walter Kuhlmey lt would be difficult, if possible, to find any student more universally liked and respected at Parker. Walter is a very good scholar, an excellent and versatile athlete, and definitely a leader. Somewhat less noisy than the rest of the class, he nevertheless always surges to the front when the fun begins. lt might be thought that one who was President of Student Government and captain of the football and lightweight basketball teams might be a bit remote or aloof, but he isn't.

Marjorie Goodman A quiet and gentle nature hides one of the sweetest dispositions in the class. Marjorie's ready smile, easy-going and fun-loving nature have impressed us all with her sweetness. Sympathe- tic and understanding, she represents the stabilizing factor in ou class. loffre Heineclc Joffre has o few chosen friends, outside of these he has not mingled. Perhaps this is because he is a solemn thinker and values his friendships highly. l-le proved his ability through hard work and portrayed an unfor- gettable Sir Anthony in The Rivals. Joffre personifies deliberation, con- scientiousness, and sincerity. Neil Heller Despite the fact that this is his first year at Parlcer, Neil has become surprisingly outstanding, partly because of his keen mind, his utter unselfishness, and his ability to slip instantly from the sublime to the ridiculous. l-le has earnestly participated in Public Speak- ing and Morning Exercise, raising the standard and quality of both. These qualities have won him friends and respect, George Jacobs Let any man speak long enough and he will get believers. Brilliant and bursting with new bills and amend- ments for S, G., George always has good sense on his side. Under his intelligence runs a startling amount of humor which is observed by few and appreciated by fewer.
