SENIORS JEAN Ro1cVsEK Roeky's future is in either being a model for products ad- vertising beautiful complexions or as a prominent lady execu- tive. Tall and dignified, possess- ing serious gray eyes, her style is marked by efficiency with- out fuss. As a commercial stu- dent, f'Rocky'i is unsurpassed, Gnivruurm SHANK The eyes have it with Gert- rude, who, by the way, answers to the nick-name of Gertie . Here is a girl who really likes and enjoys the contacts high school has to offer. She likes any sport and makes roller skating a specialty. CLARYINCE BPIClliRES'l' Dud is Rocky River's number one play-boy. He is a polished master on the ball-room floor and prefers the sophisticated type of girl. Out for every good time, Dud is at his best when at a party, but he also excells in all sports. RI'TH GORE Ruth, in her quiet way is a pal to all. She always has some- thing pleasant to say and never fails to say it. Her willingness to cooperate, and her congenial spirit have made her a favorite with the faculty as well as the student bodv. BIAY DENTON May is very much the biologist, her greatest pleasure coming from birds, trees, butterflies, and flowers. Entirely self-suf- ficient, she is a pleasant person to talk with as she laughs a great deal, and has the enviable faculty of putting other people at ease.

'QW' 1 51f1N1oRs Rosie SMITH Rose is such a diminutive per- son that she might easily be overlooked if it weren't for her charming smile and friendly in- terest in everyone. A courag- eous spirit and true friendliness stand out from the very depths of her deep dark eyes. .J IJILLIAN BERNHARD I.illian's tall grave appearance, charming voice, and quiet graces are set off by an entic- ing dimple in her chin, sug- gesting her quiet sense of hu- mor. Not only in the Operetta, but on many other occasions Rocky River audiences have en- joyed her singing. l'x-zo Ho1cToN Vl'hat would Peg do if her hands were cut off?

CHARLES l+lNor1M.xN Chuck'3 is probably one of ltiver's best Iiftlo football play- ers because he is so scrappy and full of fight.

FRrXNIiLIN CARTI-:ic Franklin, like his pal and crony, Kluth, hails from Chi- cago. Possessing a low danger- ous voice, Frank dresses in ex- cellent taste and is conserva- tively impressive.
