Edwina Pattison Eddie has one of the highest ambitions in the class, the ambition to go on the stage. l-ler dramatic ability and fast-stepping feet ought to carry her high on the ladder of fame. Al- though Edwina has never shown the temperamental quality characteristic of actresses, she displayed in the senior play her fine ability to interpret and her tenacity of purpose. Few things are impossible to diligence and s i . Helen Plotkin l-lelen's red-head added cheer and pep to the class. Whether in the lunchroom or at a prom, l-lelen's laughter can be heard in the midst of a crowd, Because of her lovely voice, which everyone has heard, she is Mrs. York's pride and joy. No one will forget her Dark Eyes. Richard Redliclc Dick is a delightful jumble of humor, silly laughs, and earnestness. He also has the distinction of being the youngest member of the class and is always envied because of his especially good- looking clothes and black wavy hair that has never been mussed. l-le was manager of the football and basketball teams. l-lis light-hearted, casual atti- tude has constantly renewed the enthusiasm ofthe class. Betty Redmond Betty is outstanding because she always has somethng different to say. She is outsooken, with very definite opinions.

Mary Miller Mary can be poised, calm, and the perfect lady, and be very likeable, but she is often jovial, laughing, joking, and giggling, and even more likeable. Combining her evident personality with her outstanding capability in many lines Cas witnessed by her election to the captoinship of the All Chicago Hockey Team and editorship of the Recordj, she is one of the foremost and most popular girls in the class. Thomas Monaghan Tom knows what he wants and is out to get it by thoroughly enjoying himself, not caring much for public opinion, being frank, responsible, and earnest when he's serious. Tom is tall, lanky, with a hearty Hi for everyone, and the post of captain of the heavyweight team to his true lrish credit. gifts' sig? Kathryn Moore Kathryn is frank, shrewd, intelligent, and extremely independent. She is proud -with good reason, as about herself she has built a wall of quiet dignity that few have entered. Paul Oberndorf Oberndorf'-it symbolizes Weekly. Paul has, through hard work, pulled his way into one of the most important jobs in Parker's school life: editor of the Weekly.

Sanger Steel By all odds the most brilliant boy in the class, Steel is also one of the funniest. l-lis brilliant mind can pro- duce no end of puns, witty remarks, and high-class humor at any time of day or night. His alert laziness and indif- ference toward every impending dis- aster are amazing. Editor of the Weekly, he not only does not worry, but seems to thrive on the job that has reduced others to a shadow of their former selves. In addition he posses- ses the power of attaining complete success with matchless ease in every- thing he attempts. Priscilla Stern Given to quick outbursts which we readily forgive because of the dimpled smile which inevitably follows them, Percy enjoys life to the fullest and makes those around her do the same. Extremely happy-go-lucky, she has deii- nite ideas on practically everything, not always completely logical, but usually amusing and intentionally so. Jeanne Ross The intricacies of science, to us unfathomable, are reached clearly and easily by Jeanne's analytical mind. ln spite of her willingness to impart this knowledge, she is wholly unpre- suming. ln contrast to this phase of her nature, she is the most outstanding girl athlete of the class. Caryl Sobel Butz has a vivacious, flippant, devlish manner which combines with constant alertness to make up her refresh- ing seli. l-ler brilliant, pleasing nonsense provides interesting contrast to her rarer, retiring quiet.
