Bob Stinchcomb—An important man of the news, not a news reporter— just a news boy. Mr. Stinchcomb delivers the local paper daily, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Sundays. Sophie Seitz—A famous artist of the century, who has produced beautiful drawings, oil paintings, portraits, and statues. Sophie has reached the height of her profession now; she runs a comic strip in the Child Life Magazine. Freddie Baker—Local gentleman who has made himself famous by his radio entertainments. He is known the world over as the Cowboy of the Hills . His listeners say he's from the hills of Kentucky, but to us they're the hills of Leroy. Winifred Carney—Young lady now employed in a department store in Cleveland, Woolworth's 5 10. Miss Carney's main objective in working here is to supply her boy friend with pins and trinkets bearing her initials. Robert Brainard—A dealer in automobiles—Dodges, of course. Bob has his sales talk well learned and repeats it constantly—day and night. He tells us that he has just one trouble in his line of business—people dodge him instead of buying Dodges. Cora Goldsmith—A famous preacher. Influenced by a minister who lived in the Goldsmith home during Cora's younger years, Cora turned to the religious side of life. Miss Goldsmith now conducts services every Sunday morning in the Goldsmith Temple on West Main Street, Perry, Ohio, U. S. A. She delivers the same sermon each Sunday, the title of which is Eat, Drink and Be Merry, for Tomorrow Is Washday. Joe Laurie—Little need be said of this lofty personage; tall, dark, and gruesome. Being the present president of our United States, he has become famous throughout the country. He is known to most as the Abe Lincoln of this age. But instead of Friends, Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your ears------. President Laurie addresses us, Listen here, you apes. Hilda Means—A noted author of fibs, fables, and fakes. Her latest masterpiece is How to Win Boys and Influence Men. Charlotte Root—One who has earned for herself the title of Mother among approximately one hundred children. She runs an orphanage in Paines-vilie, Ohio. Raymond Garvin—-A local boy who has reached high fame at the radio station WICA, Ashtabula. Every noon he blows the little whistle, which is a time signal to remind people to eat. La Verne Heil—Our promising typist, who has a position as private secretary to a business man. She not only takes minutes; but also hours—in arranging his tie and combing his hair. Wilma Hall—The little miss who couldn't go to Florida with her elders because we all missed her so. She has finally had a big, big trailer built which will hold all of Perry and some of the clay of Leroy. So any winter now you should be prepared to find yourself under Floridan sunshine because she's going to take us with her! fourteen

Ruth Lamed—A girl whose conscience is always bothering her because she feels she hasn't done justice to her educational opportunities so she is going to start over again in the first grade and show 'em. Wanda Locke—A little brunette who in her spare time while not pecking away at a typewriter is pondering on how she is going to keep her hair and eyes matching when her hair turns gray. Jack Madsen—Best boxer in the country because he imagines all the opponents he meets to be one of those darn daily assignments that used to get him down when he went to school—so he plasters them. Jack Carney—A gentleman whose hardest job is to pass his philosophical attitude toward life on the rest of the tipsy world. Sarah Otto—One who devotes her aristocratic dignity, poise, and noble air to the field of traveling, which consists in making the trip out to the mail box and back. Marian Chambers—One of the many people who in their infancy were taught to walk and talk, but Marian became conceited when she found she could walk. Her conceit went to her head and now she only talks. Betty Basset—A lady true to her desires, who is now an established cosmetician. She has a great number of male patrons who come to listen to Betty's flirtatious banter while they have their wigs lifted or their faces shampooed. Doris Enoch—A great kid. Every now and then she pays tribute to the senior class by giving everyone of us a lolly pop apiece, because we all sent her along on the road to success by making her the editor of our annual. She now edits the internationally known newspaper, The Perry Daily. Elroy Baxter—Teacher of the latest dancing as a profession. However, he has a cow at home, which he calls Daisy. And that dumb thing just can't be taught to do the “Big Apple. Carl Martin—A famous master of the accordion, teaching his pupils by every method known. He now has a new theory that if one can't learn in any other way, tickling the keys with great rapidity will produce astonishing effects. Nadine Frayn—The Florence Nightingale of the day. Miss Frayn was ousted from the Royal Hospital of England for becoming involved in a tempestuous love affair with his Royal Highness Old Chap Percival Pea Persimmon, so she returned to her first love that of flipping hamburgers for truck drivers in the La Frayn Hamburg Palace on North Ridge. Ruth Day—The eighth day of the week, unknown to most people who claim that there are only seven. Miss Day is in the calendar business, attempting to create an eight day week. Shirley Haines—A local actor who has reached high fame in the theatrical world—not as a second to Leslie Howard—but as a janitor in the Utopia at Painesville. Florida Martin-—One of those musical birds. Florida has changed her name to California and resides in Hollywood, where she practices her profession, piano drumming. She is learning to play Chopsticks now. She plays not only with her hands, but also with her feet! The piano player owns a player piano. thirteen

Of the forty who started only thirteen are still with us. We passed through the first few years just as everyone else did—learning our time tables, long division, parts of speech, geography, and taking part in operettas, entertainments, and such, receiving our share of discipline in the third grade and profiting from the influence of the checkered apron and the slipper in the fifth. Then, before we knew it, we were upstairs. In all the newness and confusion, we were rather obscure, but in the tenth grade we came out from our obscurity and established our reputation by throwing the Kid Party. All along we have been well represented in athletics and in the musical departments. In our sophomore year we had the largest percentage of representatives in the Scholarship Club, a number of leads in the operetta, The Mikado ' and the high school play, Growing Pains. Also, we had the honor of having the high school string trio in our class. This year, as juniors, we were brave enough to step forward and suggest the Student Council, a suggestion which met with success. We are also credited with the successful Home-coming Dance and are planning a bigger and better Junior-Senior Prom. fifteen
