Susie Cheek If you want something done wellQ just call on Susie. Although she was voted the best student among the girls, she is never too busy to help someone, be it teacher or fellow student. Such an attitude exemplifies the teachings of the Golden Rule, and insures happi- ness and success for its possessor. Dick Cooke If you see a group of seniors having the times of their lives, you can safely bet your bottom dollar that Dick is m the midst of it. Jolly, yet sincere fun loving, yet studious, he is a Dukes mixture of good qualities. No wonder he was chosen best-all-around ' Lloyd Cornelius Quick to learn, ambitious to make the most of herself, yet ever ready for a rousing good time,-that's Lloyd, the gal with the soaring I. Q. Vern Cozart What would school be like if Vern were not around to flirt with the girls? His teasing and wise-cracking cer tainly keep life from getting boresome as well as from becoming too quiet If carried over into study hall, however that could be a mixed blessing where teachers are concerned. Betty Eller No one can deny that Betty is a very friendly person with her pleasant dis- position and a cheerful hello for those with whom she comes in contact. She has evidently discovered the truth of the old saying that 'ito have a friend, you must be one. Duane Eller Courtly and charming in his man ners, Duane is just the opposite of his usual stage role, the dastardly v1l lain. Although his stay in Rockwell High has been short, he has made a pleasant addition to the class and 1S well-liked by all.

Nancy Blac'kwc'la'cr hr-Nt jackie Bos! Wim L -:xx sv Q.-4 we Marfloa Basinger According to the old saying. still waters run deep, and to label Martha the most in love surely proves it. No one would guess it because of her quiet demeanor, innate reserve, and her devotion to her work. jimmy Beaver Maybe two of the reasons for Jim- my's being the most popular boy are his ready smile and pleasant greeting. Even when he gripes,-as most of us do,--he does it in such an amusing way that no one takes it seriously. Although she is studious and unas- suming in school, Nancy is no shrink- ing violet when it comes to basketball. Not only is she one of the outstanding players on the team, but she also car- ries her sportsmanship over into her daily school life. This one quality alone will do much to make her successful wherever she goes. Doris Bos! Quiet, reserved, ready to help when she can but never forcing herself upon anyone, Doris rightfully deserves the title of lady, Like all real ladies, she considers her school work important enough to take up a major share of her time,-a practice which will pay big dividends later. 'tBest-all-around girl so her class- mates say, and that includes many things. One has to have qualities of scholarship, willingness to work, and the ability to put loyalty to onc's school and friends above personal desires. These and more we Hnd in Jackie, as is further shown by the fact that she made all-county team last year and was elected captain of her team this year as well as editor-in-chief of the annual. Best-all-around title she truly de- serves. Iamcs Brown Chosen best-dressed boy by a class poll, James typifies the average Ameri- can school boy. Quiet, courteous, and obliging, he is a welcome addition to any class.

Roselyfz Fisher Gay, vivacious, bubbling over with enthusiasm for whatever strikes her fancy, Roselyn has made herself a fa- vorite member of her class. Her skill on the 88 keys doesn't lessen her popu- larity either, for she's usually the cen- ter of an admiring group when she plays, be it Bach or boogie-woogief' Dorothy H olshouser Paul Hill It may be his humor, or it may be the fact that he is the cutest boy according to class statistics, but Paul's every remark brings appreciative chuckles from his feminine listeners. The fact thas this is Leap Year should make his shyness an asset rather than a liability. Biggest pest? Maybe yes, maybe no. At any rate, she has a very nice smile that she can turn on when she thinks the occasion rates it. Everyone will agree that we need more such smiles in this old world, so keep smiling, Dot! Davicl H u ff num Willie H olsbouser Tall and stately in appearance, yet gay and full of fun, Willie is a person of contrasts with a charm all her own. No wonder she has lots of friends! When you mix wit with a dash of mischief and spice it with natural abil- ity to play the clown, you get such a person as David. If he has a care in the world, he knows how to hide it when there's a chance to make some- one laugh. Life should be pleasant for one who can bring laughter to those around him. Phil H 0 well Handsome is as handsome does, so goes an old quotation. Even if Phil had not Won the title of best looking boy, his wit, sociability and skill in mimicry would make folks forget about looks anyway, and don't forget he's captain of the basketball team.
