' L Q . if E ff.: 's 2:5 1.5 sal 1-3 elm af 1940 ELIZABETH MAE BUSHNELL- Betty Chorus 1, 2, 3, 45 Operetta 1, 2, 3, 45 Basketball 15 Letter- man 2, 3, 45 Baseball, Letterman 1, 2, 35 Captain 45 Field Hockey 35 Senior Play 4. Betty has proved herself to be a necessity in all girls' sports. Her cheerfulness is but one of her assets. She has been a faithful member of the chorus, taking part in operettas, and has willingly served on our reception committees at dances. We wonder if Imogene will retain the practice she is getting in housekeeping. JENN I E NANCY CARFI- Jen Chorus 15 Operetta 15 Art Club 25 Home Making Club 3, 45 Baseball Letterman 2, 3, 45 Basketball 4. Jennie is one of those rare people who is always willing to help. She is faithful in her assignments and a real worker in the Homemaking department. We would have missed a great deal without the ready cooperation of Jennie. GRAHAM M. CARTER- Gram Baseball 15 Camera Club 1 5 Wood Working Club 25 Soccer Squad 25 Letterman 3, 45 Navigation Club 35 School Play 3: Prattler Staff 45 Senior Play 4. Until you've heard Graham laugh you just haven't heard anything. There are those who insist that Graham's masculine giggle is catching and we're inclined to agree with them, judg- ing from the sounds that sometimes issue forth from study hall. Anyway, Graham's real specialty is soccer and many times his sturdy defense has saved us a ball game. EVERETT H. CHAMPLIN- Ev Camera Club President 35 Basketball Squad 45 Osage Board 45 Senior Play 45 Sports Club 45 Cheer Leader 1. Evie is the little man who's always there when it comes to snapping action shots. He and his camera are inseparable. His good humor is exceeded only by his inexpressible wit. We are going to miss you, Evie, and we wish you lots of luck in the photography field. 9

Who's that giggling in study hall? Ten to one it will be Lucy-no one else could turn the whole class into an uproar in just a few minutes. Lucy's pride and joy is that splendid cheering section which she whipped into shape soon after she arrived at Pratt. We wonder if Lucy will ever completely grow up. GRACE LORRAIN E BAUER- Larry Chorus 1, 25 Operetta 1, 2g Class Secretary 1 g Field Hockey Manager lg Squad 2, 35 Basketball 1, 33 Home Making Clu 3, 4. Lorraine will long be remembered at Pratt for her attractive notebooks and printing. She has proved very cooperative with teachers and students alike and deserves much success in her future. Watch that giggle, Lorraine! JENN I E FRANCES BOMBACI- Beadie Home Making Club 1, 2, 45 Baseball Letterman 3, 4, Bas- ketball Squad lg Letterman 4, Field Hockey, Letterman 4. Helpful is the word that best characterizes Jennie. She has won the high respect of all of us through her reliabilit and willingness. Not only has she interests in school work but is also a capable athlete. Best wishes to you, Jennie, a valued member of the Senior Class. IRIS MARY BUMP- I Orchestra 2, Basketball Letterman 4, Junior Declamations 35 Dramatics 1, 3, 4, Art Club 2, Osage Board 4g Senior Play 4, Operetta 3. Iris has bri htened our tour years at Pratt with her earnest humor and infictious giggle. Adept at drawing, she has proved valuable as our Osage artist. We all hope she will have much success in the years to come. 8

Qlaaa of 1940 'guy 'VW M Yla- a x i vL.L V H .- : s bt Q , fl ,,,.,. V ROBERT T. CHANCE- Chink Track Letterman 3, 4, Basketball Squad 4, Soccer Letter- man 4g Navigation Club 3, Sports Club, Vice-president, Sec- retary 4. Bob's been at Pratt for just two years and it's still a wonder to us that anybody could be quite like him. Devil-may-care- absolutely-reckless, his name certainly fits him. An all 'round person, and a grand sport, Bob's proved he can take it on the soccer field as well as give it out on the dance floor. EILEEN GORDON COLLAMORE Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4g Field Hockey Squad 1, 2, 3, 4g Letter- man 4, School Play 2, 3, 43 Chairman Sophomore Dance 23 Chairman junior Dance 3g Class Secretary 2, 33 Class Treas- urer 4g Pi Club 3g Secretary-Treasurer 43 Student Council 33 Secretary-Treasurer 45 Declamations 2, 3, 4, D.A.R. Award 4g Senior Play 43 One-act Plays 1, 2, 3, 4g Co-Honor Essay 4. In the social, athletic, and scholastic held, Eileen has suc- ceeded in attaining tot? honors. Her incessant store of good humor and unfailing willingness to cooperate with the class has made her one of our most valuable members. In nursing, her future held of endeavor, we join in wishing her the very best of luck and happiness. MARGARET E. DOYLE- Peggy Field Hockey Squad 33 Baseball 1, 2, 3, School Play 3, 4g Chairman Christmas Dance 4, Senior Play 4, One-act Plays 2, 3, 4, Art Club 13 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 43 Declamations 2, 5, 4. Our hats are off to Peg for being an indispensable member of the Class of 1940. Versatile, is certainly Peggy's trade mark. She has taken part in everything and anything. Contrary to the law of averages she has succeeded both scholastically and socially. Gay and charming, Peg has proved herself a person we are happy to have known and hope to see more of in the future. SARAH ESTER FERRANTI Camera Club 1, Chorus 3g Operetta 33 Basketball 33 Home Making Club 4, Baseball Manager 4. Shy by nature, you'd never know Sarah was around from self-assertion, but her quiet charm has found for her a lasting circle of friends. Her helping hand has been extended on many occasions. Her immediate desire is to enter the field of nursing and we wish her a speedy R.N. 10
