Backus, Donald Still water runs deep In inquiring about his activities in high school, one would find that Mr. Backus' favorite pastime is sports. He went out for a little of football and basketball but his most prized ac- complishment is his four successful years of baseball. Here's hoping your career of sports does not end with your school days but continues until you have reached the top. Baran, Walter Although Walter seems to talk very little, he always has the faculty of saying something witty when he engages in con- versation. May your old combination of silence and humor bring to you in later years as many friends and as much suc- cess as it did in the past yelrs. Bauman, Charles Mention dancing or music, especial'y something hot, and Bus is all ears. He, too, has become an addict of that Thing Called Swing and does he get around! He likes also Ger- man, astronomy, and chemistry and he states emphatically that he hates women??? Benton, Jean The Seniors agree in one thing anyway, namely, that Mother Nature surely didn't do Jean an injustice, for they have chosen her as the most popular girl, the girl with the prettiest hair and in a tie for first place, elected her as the prettiest girl. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club, the Por-Je Staff and has been one of our active cheer leaders.

Aber, Evelyn Although everyone of us is envious of Evelyn when we cast our eyes on the honor roll semester after semester that she either has the highest standing or very near it, we are all the more proud that she is in our class graduating with us. Be- cause of her very evident success in school, the Senior Class has, Without hesitation, chosen her as the girl most likely to succeed. Allen, Arlene Excelling in her favorite subject, history, Arlene seems to take her school life seriously. This seriousness will undoubt- edly continue and affect favorably her chosen profession, no matter what it may be. Thus we can Wish her the best of luck for a promising future. A Armstrong, George Here We have a quiet lad. Probably it's because he comes from a quiet place, a farm in Montague. George, too, is fond of History C so much so that he has taken three years of it. Since he considers farming his favorite pastime, there is a probability that he will choose it for his vocation. Only time can tell, but for the present we can just hope that he succeeds in any choice. Aughton, Harold During his four years of high school Harold has not only kept up faithfully his studies but has also participated in other various outdoor activities. Among these were three years of track, one year of football, one year on the Por-Je Staff and a month of military life at the C.M.T.C., Plattsburgh, New York. Harold likes best to strum on a guitar. Maybe to some lady fair!

Beyer, Eleanor HEI is without a doubt the tiniest girl in our class. She is an officer of the German Club and is very active in Girl Scouting. She seems to be looking forward seriously to her future work. Her ambition is to be a technician. We wish her success. Boerner, Henry With the choice of sports as his favorite pastime, Henry has been seen participating in both track and tennis. He is always ready to tackle a difficult problem in algebra, es- pecially advanced. Moreover his three years' membership in the German Club proved him to be just as studious as athletic. Briard, Raymond It would be a safe bet that Ray has read nearly every available book and magazine in our school libraryg for no matter where or when one meets him he is sure to have a dif- ferent book or two which he reads both for schoolwork and pleasure. When not reading or studying, he has found time to take up a little journalism, mostly with our school paper. Brierly, Mary Although Mary has been much more quiet than others, her silence has in no way hindered her progress during her past four years here, because today we see her right with the rest of us, sharing the honors of graduating from high school. So as fellow classmates we wish that your road to success is as Golden as 'tSi1ence is thought to be. L J
