Their attendants were Josephine Ratliff, Tommy Patterson, Elinor White, and Lowell Harris JUNIORS SENIORS FRANK BURKE ELINOR WHITE Only three words are necessary to describe Elinor White: unaffected, unspoiled, but not unsweetened; three qualities which, no doubt, won her popularity. Frank Burke, hale, hearty, and he-mannish is Portales High ' s most popular boy. Frank also occupied the position of senior class president and co-captain of the football team.
