As a Senior she managed the hockey squad and worked tirelessly in the leading role of the operetta. Miss Evans and Mrs. Ford will vouch for her effi- ciency. We're sure that someday Ros will find that rainbow she's been looking for. ROYAL E.

ALICE GERALDINE GRIFFIN- Gerry Basketball Squad 15 Baseball Squad 1, 45 Chorus 1, 25 Op- eretta 15 Prattler 35 Student Council 45 Senior Play 45 Dramatics 4. Gerry's ready wit and charming personality have proved themselves in numerous instances and we have decided that without her the class would have missed a great deal of fun and real entertainment. Her helpful suggestions have been a source of delight and a decided enlightenment as to what can be done with a little imagination. Gerry hopes to be a jour- nalist and with her ability we would say she has practically reached her goal.

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.

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.

She has also done a great part of the work in the library and to Alma we owe much of the successs of our class. GERTRUDE LOUISE HARDING- Trudy Art Club 1, 2, 3. Trudy is the future famous horsewoman of national renown. Her understanding of animals has emphasized her ability to sympathize with her friends at Pratt. Her good nature which has claimed us for four years becomes more astounding each day. We're sure we'll someday be very much aware of the Harding Stables. MARY PLATT HARRINGTON Field Hockey 13 Basketball 1, 2, 3, Baseball 2, 4, Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4. Mary's quiet manner and sweet smile are in evidence every day in the school year. She's never in a dither of hot and cold or sweet and sour, but always just Mary. Her loyalty to Pratt need not be asserted, and we are happy to have had her as one of our classmates. CHARLES JOHNSON, JR.- Charlie Science Club lg Photography Club 2, 3, 4. Charlie hides a first-class thinking cap under his jaunty good humor and engaging personality. Reading widely on many subjects Charlie is able on request to answer and debate almost any questionable topic. Everybody knows him and en- joys to the greatest extent his perpetual wit and free and easy going manner. 12
