He is a member of DeMolay and has joined the Civil Air Patrol. Ted says he likes horseback riding very much.

In the field of sports, Pres plays hockey and tennis. He is a member of the traffic squad, and did a swell job as Harry Graves in the senior play.

He has been an important member of tire football team for two years. Jimmy is a very good drummer. He is also quite a driver as anyone who has rid¬ den with him in the Stude- baker knows. Work at the Town Building has kept him busy this winter. Women and listening to records at Flint’s take a lot of his time and in¬ terest. The Navy will be tak¬ ing him soon. Good luck, J immy. BEVERLY DALTON Bev, a quiet little blonde, is taking the mixed course. When asked what was com¬ ing after graduation she re¬ plied, “I’d like to sleep for a coup le of months and then work — maybe as a typist.” That explains why her favor¬ ite period is typing. Bev not only is active in sports, but takes part in the Girls’ Glee Club, and works in the library up North. RAYMOND DAVIES United States History has been Ray’s favorite subject in the college course. Outside of school he has worked at Atkinson’s and assisted at surveying.

She has also been in the Drum Corps, combining this activity with her work at Torre’s. Jean’s pet peeves are getting up in the morning, and sneakers. She has taken a mixed course at school, and tells us that her favorite class is art. Jean has not decided what to do after leaving school. Could it be she’s waiting for th’e return of a certain red-head named Tim- mie ? Ann may be seen any aft¬ ernoon “jerking” sodas at Torre’s. Taking general busi¬ ness course, she says that Miss Reed’s English class is her favorite. Dancing and swimming, with oth ' er inter¬ ests, keep her busy outside of school. One of Ann’s pet peeves is girls who wear pumps and ankle socks. We understand Ann has an inter¬ est in the Air Corps. After she finishes school, Ann plans to attend modeling school. i
