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

Girl Reserves, music,—and football —have shared in LEONA HERBIG’S high school interests. LILLIAN BORSCH will long he remembered for her creepy characterization in the junior class play. About as big as a minute, shy, and pleasant even in the face of adxdv«. £o versity — that’s ALTA MARX. Jolly, good-iwtured EDNA ALBRECHT is liked by every member of the class. HENRY RENNER is the typical all-’round American boy. Dame Rumor ‘doth say that VERNELL NELSON plans to be an A. P. store manager some day. JACK MANLEY mutely commands respect by his very quiet and sincere associations with his fellow classmates.
