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.

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. She is athletic, and her quick sense of humor is entirely enter- taining. Betty is completely herself, her simplicity impressing everyone.

Robert Stuhr Bob left Parker after eighth grade, but came back his senior year to gradu- ate with his old classmates. Funny to listen to, funnier to watch, he always has some new and different phrase or mannerism for the benefit of the class. Bob is our social lion, ask him any question about etiquette, or anything else for that matter, and you'll get on answer whether he knows it or not, and, whether or not he knows what he is talking about, his answer is bound to be good. Grace Weber To those of us who know her, Grace personifies sweetness and a bit of old-fashioned quaintness. To her went the highest honor that Parker can bestow upon a senior girl: because she is demure, gracious, and lovely, Grace made one of the most charming May Queens that Parker has ever seen. 3 Doris Weinsheimer Full of vim, vigor, and vitality. With only three years of Parker to her credit, she is by no means unknown to anyone, She can talk louder and longer, and think of more crazy things to do than any other member of the class. Orville Wetmore The most versatile and best dressed member of the class. His versatility includes a dead-eye for baskets, which gave him the highest personal scoring record ever made at Parker, skill in art and dramatics, and a good mind. Orville has strong likes and dislikes, but a character sketch would be incomplete without mentioning his broadmindedness, his straightforward- ness and sincerity, and his abundance of common sense.
