The play's the thing. If you hear someone say lVIiss Boles wants to see you, or Don't forget rehearsal at 3.45, you can safely guess that Byrt is around. From her list of activities you can see that she has taken an active inter- est in extracurricular activities. She has been very prominent in dram- atics, for she possesses unusual ability as an actress, writer, and director of plays. She wrote and directed Bugs last year and took part this year in the high school play. Next year she plans to enter the training school at the Roosevelt Hospital. We wish her all the luck in the world. Blair Lloyd Armstrong General Course A. A., 3, 4, Ir. Red Cross, 3, 4, Science Club, 4. Silence sweeter is than words. Blair does not make himself conspicuous by talking a great deal in classes. In fact, his chief aversion is any kind of oral report. But put him with acquaintances, and you find, under his silence, a very agreeable felow with a liking for the out-of-doors. Instead of seeking for knowledge out of books, in his idle m-oments, he learns first-hand in- formation from nature, in hunting, fishing, and swimming. His liking for softball also shows that Blair likes the association of other fellows. Blair, with his Customary way of going into things leisurely, will not enter business college until he has worked a year. llffay he find sat- isfaction on whatever road he chooses to follow! ' Ray Louis Armstrong General Course A. A., 3, 45 Red Cross, 1, 2, 3, 4g Science Club, 4, Interclass Basketball, 4. Our thoughts and conduct are our own. In Ray, we have the tall, silent man. When we see his height, and deep-set eyes, We get an impression of latent power. His slowness of reply bears out this impression of deliberation before expression. Al- though he does not speak often in his classes, he knows the correct an- swers. Ray's long strides as he walks picturesquely tell of his liking for hiking over the hills, hunting, or iinding a likely-looking fishing stream. Baseball and softball are his two favorite games. In the future, about which he is undecided, Ray believes he would like to attend some aviation school. Good luck, Ray! Eleven

The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business. IXIerle is the type of person who always seems to be in a hurry. He walks with the air of a business man. But do not forget, he is in a way a business man. He helps his father with the Work at the garage. Pezel likes very much to drive an automobile, and out of school hours, we usually ind him behind the wheel of one of the garage cars. Pezil is a jolly and good natured person. He believes in having lots of fun. Merle usually manages to get a front seat, where he will have the best opportunity to give his opinion. Pezil, as yet, is undecided what he will do in the future. In I whatever field he decides to work, we wish him lots of luckf' Gerald J. Amundson General Course fr Red Cross, 1, 2, 3, 4: A. A., 3, 41 A. A., 3. 4, Softball, 3. Care is a nzermrc to If e. Aw, don't try to tell me that -that's just one of the Amundson twins contradicting some- one. Gerald enjoys himself most when he is engaged in a heated argument. He is very per- sistent in his arguments and has a witty reply to every point that is brought up. Gerald gets a great amount of joy out of life. He agrees one hundred per cent. with the quota- tion, Care is a menace to life. Gerald is planning to attend Indiana State Teachers College next year. We all wish you lots of luck and success. Ten - Geraldine Marie Amundson General Course A. A., 1, 2, 3, 43 Red Cross, 43 'Ileen Club, 3, 43 I-Iulda of Hol- land, 3. He that -is of a merry lzmrl lmllr. a C01l1 fl1,1l0ll feast. Jerry is one of our truly light-hearted Sen- iors, She is nearly always laughing or telling an hilariously funny joke. In fact, Geraldine usually keeps up the good spirits of all those around her by her merry disposition. She is one of those for- tunate young persons Who is blessed with really blond hair. Jerry enjoys reading a good book but is a.t her best when she is on the dance floor. Geraldine says she expects to continue with the orchestra of which she is a 1llC111lJCI'. In fact, we would not be surprised if, someday, she became a well-known singer. At any rate, we wish the best of luck to one member of the only set of twins from the class of 138.

Red Cross, 1, 2, 3, 4g A. A., 3, 4g Foootball, 2, 3, 4, Wrestling, 4, Varsity Club, 3, 4. To really know John at his best you have to ask one of those with whom he played football. They will tell you that John is a fighter and carries a real punch in his rather short, but sturdy body. John is quiet both in and out of school and spendsmuch of his time at the West End Service station where he will continue to Hflll 'er up, after he graduates. John F. Baranick General Course A fighter to the last and o fighter that lasts. Tl-IE MIRROR Ethel N. Balls General Course A. A., 2, 4, Jr. Red Cross, 2, 4. Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day. y Ethel is a serious-looking, black-haired girl who keeps herself very neat and dainty, and appears quite friendly at all times. She is quiet and unassuming. However, she is not so quiet when one know her more intimately. Ethel's particular interest in school is Biology. From what we have heard, she receives very good grades in that particular subject. Along with her particular interest for Biology, she likes to take an active part in sports and drawing. Her particular sports are swimming and hiking. Ethel's plans for the future are indefinite, but with her splendid knowledge of Biology, we are sure that she will continue in that field. The class of '38 joins in wishing her the best of luck for future success. John is going to leave a large vacancy in the school on the Harrick l eleven. Lots of luck and our best wishes go with you, john. 4 Twelve Beatrice Belle Barletta Commercial Course A.

Her deep brown eyes like lfimpid pools Slzono forth like crystal stars. Bean is one of the busnest girls in the Senior Class, for as Busi- ness llelanager of The Mirror, she is kept running around seeing that every one does his work, lVliss Robinson has a great deal of trouble keeping track of her. Someone suggested that Bea should get a kiddy car to make travel easier, but we are of the opinion that an airplane would be more useful, or why not seven league boots ? With all this scurry, Beatrice does not slight her studies. Almost any noon you can find her mumbling to herself Cdon't be alarmed, for it is really Shorthandj Bea's activities are quite varied, as you can see, but she especially likes roller skating and dancing, perhaps that is the reason for the numerous trips to Indiana. Beotricei would like to study dress designing, and perhaps open a shop of her own. Here's luck, Bea
