She is quiet and apparently demure, but likes to Whisper and pass notes. She is friendly and ever ready to lend a helping hand. Oh why, do you read Good Housekeeping so carefully. John MacKechnie What can I do for you, please? Let us introduce Johnnie MacKechnie. our future J. B. Statler of hotel fame, in person. His humorous wit anal pleasing personal- ity have marked him as a real favorite among' his classmates. 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.

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

-Q: James McAndrew Cool and imperturbable, Tho' apt to act with fire upon occasion. Jim is an enterprising fellow who puts in his spare time at the Main Street Gas XVell. Altho' considered rather bashful Jim is always ready to help out young ladies in distress. He ls a Hi-Y member of High standing and is liked by all who know him. Ralph McDowell My voice, my kingdom is. Ilalph is very fond of travelling. He formerly journeyed to Blanc-hville but now the trip has been shortened to Broome Street. Whats the attraction? This Senior has many good polnts,-includ- ing' a fine voice, which has been an addition to the Boys' Glee Club, a suave dapperness, and a handsome dimple. Seriously-we want to know-was it produced by sleeping on a collar button? We wish you success with your voice and expect to hear you broadcasting SOON. Marie McLaughlin What care I what others do? I mind my own business. Marie is one of the most musically inclined girls of the class. We hear her singing the scales incessantly-Do, Re-Mey, Do, Re- Mey . Although she works in W'oolworth's, we often see her riding in a big green car from Pennsylvania. In history class her reply to -who is her favorite explorer-is always Bird. In grammar Marie seems very apt, yet she makes one mistake invariably, for she always says, Ken I? Helen Menges Silence is Golden. llelcn ls one of our quiet, demure girls. She ls very fond of baseball and what startles us is that she always makes a Homer. To be sure, Helen always has her Phil of everything. Helen's name has been on the honor roll during her four years in high school. She is a true friend and a willing worker. As Vice-Presb dent of our Class she has proven herself worthy. NXENXCDRI ES
