No. it’ not I.indy” and Ann, but Hob” Kctchum and I.ois Eldrcdgc. £+ Z • 'S eniors EKNON ERW IN was recognized as a ■nU-i when a freshman by being elected presi- cut of his class. He carried this leadership thioughout his high school career and proved Ids worth because his class elected him to the presidency of the junior class, and the entire student body elected him to lead the Student Council. W ithout him the junior prom would have been a failure as only those that worked with him can know. Although VERNON COX prefers golf, he has served capably as president of the Freshman Home Room group and senior class. As editor-in-chief of the Pekinian he attended the State Press convention and was an ardent worker for a successful annual. “Vern’s” the fellow that burns out two hearings every time he attends an out-of-town basketball or football game. A debater and a brilliant student is DOROTHY YORK. Her election to the presidency of the sophomore and senior classes was only a small estimate of her worth. She has proved a capable business manager on the Pekinian staff and was awarded the valedictorianship along with JOHN VELDE who is drum major and a mighty piccolo player of the band. He was a member of the famous ’33-’34 basketball team and was also president of the senior class. s
