Q2 25 ,45 Ruth Jones I just have to talk, I can't help it. Here-'s to Ruth our enthusiastic basketball player who never skips practice. She is a very efficient guard on the Port Varsity and put up a good fight in every game. VVhen she is not busy study- ing or playing basketball, she can usually be seen touring the county in a Chevie or reading Clarence' 'in the Sunday paper. If she tackles life as she has basketball, we know we have no need to wish her luck. Joseph Kelly Worth his weight in goId. Here is Joe Kelly, the secretary of the Boys' A. A. To this job he has applied the same effort and sincerity that have marked him in his other work. As A. A. Secretary, he has made many friends. He is also active as Hi-Y correspondent for the school paper and as a member of the Boys' Glee Club. The class was indeed glad to count him a member. Stephanie Kobes Hail to our Editor-in-Chief, a mighty clever girl, too. The Class paid a fitting compliment to Steve when it elected her Editor-in-Chief of the Class Book, for she has been distinguished for her willingness to work, her ability, and her ready co-operation. She has been an active member of many clubs-Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Latin Club and French Club. She has a great love for Latin and finds the Virgil class the bright spot in the day. Do you sup- pose it can be the company of the rest of the class that she enjoys rather than Virgil? VVe like her sunny disposition and ready smile. Mary Ellen Lehn Here we see a quiet girl Yet full of pep and vim. When out into the world she goes, A host of friends she'll win. This prophecy is almost certainty for the disposition and smile of Mary Ellen have made her many friends in her class. For a very personal reason Mary Ellen thinks Matamoras is a little nicer town than Port in which to live. For her we predict success in the busi- ness world. NXENXGDRI ES

NM Philip Homer Philip Homer, meek and shy, Lets all the girls but one pass by. Phil is the prize art student of our class. 'We all have respect for his ability. He ls ready and willing to help everyone and has earned the title of Uofilce errand boy. It would seem that he has a frequent errand on Reservoir Avenue and this ls a. great puzzle to all. He is a. Hi-Y member and is very popular in his class. VVe know he will make friends wherever he goes. Lois Horn Dangerous, so put up in a small package. Lois likes a good time and usually gets one wherever she goes, for she is a popular dancer. She is the smallest in our class ex- hibit and her greatest worry is that she may grow fat and lose her waist line. She seems to have a particular interest in poets and :L rather lively interest in wind shields. Of course this is only be- cause she is a capable driver and takes precautions. Our final com- ment-She is liked by all who know her. Pauline Hoyt A pretty girl and a nice one, too. Pauline may be seen frequently strolling across the bridge to Matamoras. She claims that the cookies from the A .and P. stores in Matamoras are better than those in Port. VVe wonder why? Pauline is the unusual type who enjoys meeting bill collectors and is always ready for her Bill man . She hopes to be a nurse and we sincerely hope that her many qualities will bring her happiness. Helen Jackovich Handsome is as handsome does. As a graceful and capable dancer, none excels Jackie. It is a shame that she confines her abilities to Bloomfield. She is one of the two members of our class who are fortunate enough to have travelled in Europe. Foreign travel does not seem to have spoiled her though, for she is as sweet as ever. NXENXGDRI ES

John MacKechnie What can I do for you, please? Let us introduce Johnnie MacKechnie. our future J. B. Statler of hotel fame, in person.

He has that wonderful something? about him that causes each fair ro- ecl's heart to beat just a little faster as he goes by.

Esther Marsh She has charm and grace and wisdom, too. livery Senior Class has one member to whom the others may look for inspiration. Esther is the one in our class to whom we pay this homage.

Her philosophy can be easily deteeted in her writings. Esther will make a name for herself we are sure and we may be proud to have had her in our class. NXENXGRI ES
