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.

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.

Dick Langhinrichs has had important roles in many plays and was successful in oratory and debate for three years. This year he is captain of the negative team. He is to be commended also for his work in the Glee Club. Dick Hainline, president of the Senate and champion tennis player, was voted the most popular boy in school. His performances on the stage have caused many girls, hearts to beat faster. The lovable lllarge Chaney is pic- tured with him. llarge was vice-president of the Girls' Hi-Y last year and is secretary of the Senate. David fScottyj Terry and Ellen Spinsby have played opposite each other on the stage and did it so successfully that they continued it off the stage too. Ellen is on the declamation team, and lends a helping hand to any organi- zation that needs it. Scotty gave outstanding portrayals in UThe Vagabondu and Death Takes a Holidayfy He also struts his stuff during track season. Fal VVood and Dorothy Howe head the Boys, and Girls' Glee Clubs. They handled these important posi- tions very capably. Jean Krick and Barbara Fry are two girls who deserve a big hand. Jean has been behind the scenes for many a dramatic production, helping bliss Pete. She rates high in the Glee' Club and-she is the Valedictorian of the school. Take a bow, Jean! hluch of the credit for the musical successes of our school goes to Barbara Fry, who accompanies the Glee Club. Her flying fingers add a great deal to any performance. These are the people who have set precedents for future classes of our school. Lofty, leading seniors . . . VVe Honor You.
