2 ' l,.g:.f.i,,ii..j2.v-fjfsgfref..-: i ,VI Aif'-jfi'g,fQL.-:-g'is1Q,3,, ,, SEHIUHS BETTY ABBOTT: Her frankness and high standards are traits typical of Betty's character. But don't be misled, for she possesses a hidden sparkle of fun which comes to light when she is with friends. MARGO ADAMS: Margo is every place at once, especially during first period. She is every bit as pretty as her name. Though her heart belongs in Lakewood, she has not neglect- ed her River friends nor her studies. SCHARROLD ADAMS: The reason Ernie is such a good miler is that he lives a mile from school and leaves at 8:27 every morning. He can be counted upon to do his share of work and so makes a good president to pilot the course of the senior class. BILL ALEXANDER: When that boy puts down his head and glances upward, he is the pic- ture of innocence, but let the teacher turn his back-! Business administration is to be Bill's career while Geology, of all things, takes up his spare moments. JEAN BAKER: Jean or Bakey as her friends call her, is one of our most pleasant seniors. Seldom is she seen when she isn't wearing a merry grin. She likes almost everything and everyone and is always ready to have a good time. HARRY BECK: Harry's brilliance on the pitching mound and his cleverness at opening or- ange crates at the A C1 P are known to all. We're sure that he will be River's gift to the Indians in a few years. MARY BEHAN: A newcomer this year, Mary soon made a place for herself with her soft, brown eyes and quiet nature. She is a wonderful listener and many a person has with- out realizing told her the deep dark secrets of their lives. BOB BERRY. Everybody knows Berry, if not for his pleasant personality, for his sly, subtle humor. Bob likes baseball and women and holds his own in both. ED BERTHOLD: Ed doesn't talk much but this only serves to hide his keen personality. He is interested in all kinds of sports and plans to make his future in the field of agri- culture. DOROTHY BIELERT: Dorothy likes dancing and sports. When you know her, you dis- cover a happy personality under a calm sophisticated exterior. ED BLACKBURN: This diminutive red-head has enough energy for eight full-sized people. He loves to promote events, like paper sales, and carries responsibilities well even though it's only a water bucket in football season. FRANK BOWLES: Frankie must hate publicity for he has successfully kept the spotlight from his private life. Our mystery man, however, didn't manage to keep the class from learning of his shy humor and pungent wit. GLORIA BRITTAIN: Pokey, though the smallest girl in the Senior class, is iust packed with fun and laughter. She loves dancing, sports of all kinds, mathematics, chemistry, and little girls and Ladds. .IACKS BROOKS: lf you are afraid of things contagious, stay away from this fellow, for you're sure to catch a bad case of laughter. Jack works hard and long on Saturdays to keep up his car--or should we call it a car?--which is his pride and joy. .IACQUELIN BROWNSON: Notice Jackie's odd jewelry sometimwifs really smooth. If there is a iob to be done, Jackie is the one you want. To be a secretary is her ambition and we think she has what it takes. WILLIS BU-RTON. Want some fun? Just call on Wee. This carefree, irrepressible iokester, so active in football is also a good hand as a gasoline attendant. Here's one bov who isn't afraid to say what he thinks. LES BUTZMAN: Les reminds one of Esquire ads and streamlined cars. At the other extreme, he is fond of football, horses, and Friendship presidents. Although he is low in stature, he is high in leadership. GARY CLAPP: Gary is the outdoor: type. He loves to hunt and fish, and he spends practi- cally every moment he has at these pursuits. The great outdoors holds no secrets from Gary for he is an old friend of Mother Nature. BOB CLARK: This blond Casanova can be seen at every social function. He has a smile for everybody, and Jak-Kraw's is a livelier place when Bob and his friends are around. SHIRLEY COBB: One of the prettiest girls in the senior class, Ubs offsets her lack of height- by her dynamic personality and her pleasant smile. Her interests include danc- ing, Girls' Council, Friendship Club, and Mr. Henderson's trig. class. fl' 'ff' Z1 ff , I I X

Cookie made up for his lack of size with spirit and fight to make letters in both football and track. MARY CRUMB: Mary is a grand person to have oround at all times. She is an ardent sports- womon which can be verified any Monday at G. R. L. She is a member of both the band and orchestra because of her abilities on the trumpet. TOM CUNNINGHAM: It will require two men next fall to fill the gap in the football line made by Tom's graduation. Thanks to Tom, River was represented at the Kumquat Bowl for the frist time. Also he has a great faculty for making friends. FRED DAEDLOW: Another bowling enthusiast, Fritz does not confine his talents to this sport only, as he is also a baseball and basketball star and a monitor chairman aside from being one of A. J.'s chemistry proteges. RALPH DEITRICK: Ralph seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father as a civil engineer tor he's tops in chemistry and mathematics. Ralph is sincere in everything he does and is a real friend once you get to know him. PAUL DILLON: P. D. or Dilly is a loyal lyaku member, not only because he is vice president but for several other reasons. He is quiet and reserved in school, but when with his friends he displays a welcome sense' of humor. RAY DOAN: Tall, and always wearing c happy-go lucky smile. Ray is one of our motor- minded men of the senior class. Give him a car to dissect and he's perefectly happy. JOAN DRUMPELMANN: She's a coy blond with a perpetual grin and a liking for knitting, people, and Dixon. To see her you'd never connect her with four years of math or the career of a statistician, but that's where her interest lies. MAYNARD ELLIOTT: A hearty laugh, and we do mean hearty, tells us Maynard is nor for away. You can always count on him to liven up a party or to settle on argument about history or chemistry. JERRY FLYNN: Jerry is probably the only senior boy who wears a suit coat during school hours and because of this distinction he is sometimes called a walking Equire ad. Jerry is also one of the few camera fiends in the senior class. ADELE GABRIEL: Tall, blonde, and beautiful, Adele has a pair of the most serious big blue eyei in our school. Poise must be her middle name but don't let her fool you-she's rea y fun. TOM GAETANO: Time and time again Tom is the fellow Mr. Evien picks on in history. His answer is always a grin and a blank look. Tom is interested in almost anything, butl at present, baseball occupies a lot of his time. WALTER GAGE: Walter's the boy famous for the short carpet-like hair cuts. Time and again he is having it gently patted by some fascinated girl. He is also the joy of Mr. Bridenbaugh's heart for who else would sit and listen to him without asking any ques- tions. HARRY GERSTENBERGER: Harry and his tan Chevrolet can be seen whizzing through River streets at almost any time after 3:34 and, though when riding with him you may feel your life is in danger, we have it on good authority that he knows what he's doing. MARY GlLMORE: There seems to be no end to Mary's talents, She is tall, slim, and gra- cious with personality plus and a sparkling wit. Her poise and willingness to enter into the spirit of things are two of her outstanding qualities. THURMAN GORE: Thurman is another one of those quiet fellows and few people realize , just how much he does for Ole River. He was one of the outstanding students in the war program at school. His hobby is model airplanes. DICK GOURLEY: Dick loves an argument even more than painting or drawing, and you can talk yourself blue in the face without changing his mind. If Dick continues his art work, Petty will have something to worry about. ' BILL GRAHAM: Bill is a bit reserved but when you get to know him you discover that he has a.humar of his own. Lakewood's loss was River's gain when Bill came to our school, and since then, he has proved himself an asset to the class. LES GRIMES: Long and lanky, tall and thin, you'll find lots of fun within. Les showed up so well in basketball that everyone regrets that he waited until his last year o come out. He is an ardent tennis fan and is one of our coming stars in this sport. BOB GRISWOLD: Bob is our valedictorian and although o mental giant and a math genius, there's always a laugh on his lips. He's quite a camera fiend and spends much of his time looking for suitable subjects. . i942 fr' 1 X' . .ig Z1 ff fs. X I l X
