WE HONQR YOU Introducing . . . the leaders of the school. First let me introduce to you Shirley Hallgren. Vihat a husy little little lady shels been, pounding the gavel for Girls' Hi-Y, taking leading roles in many plays, and trilling gaily in the Glee Club. She has rightfully earned her title of the most popular girl in school. The good-looking hoy with her is none other than Frank Forward, president of the Boys' Hi-Y. The two midgets are Bliriam Cdlinnieb Klaxwell and Pauline Zimmer. Kliriam is chief of the Blackhawk 'lfrilbe and does a nice joh of handling those Cwildj ln- dians. She ejected her pleasing personality on the stage several times and scored heavily. Any organization that wants things calls on Pauline Zimmer. The journalism department, Girls' Hi-Y, Dramatic Cluh, and others are grateful for her help. John lSonino's middle name is l'president. He was elected president of the junior class last year and the Senior class this year. He calls the meeting to order for the Dramatic Cluh and as a husiness manager for plays he's tops. Helen Passmore is an important person in the jour- nalism department. Last year she was editor of the Bi- Wfeekly and this year she heads the annual start. She also hits a high Cl in the Glee Cluh. Over in the corner are -Ierry llaggid. Leota Klae Harris. and Dick Langhinrichs. These three people have distinguished themselves in many fields, especially forensics. Besides heing Xorthwest Representative in Uratory, Alerry has been active in the music and journalism departments.
