JAMES T. GRIFFIN (‘Jim’) Jim’s idea of “lots of fun” is wrecking the Roosevelt and terrifying the school with his famous yeils.

MARY FASANI Can we ever forget Mary? Everyone knows that it is indeed very difficult for her to “fer- mez la bouche.” Also some of us know that she can speed all she wishes, for the only fine she pays is flirting with the cops. JOHN HICKMAN The wizard of the classroom. His great wis- dom, celerity and accuracy of decision have compelled us all to look on him with mingled feelings of respect and amazement. The mem- ory of him should be an inspiration to all en- terprising Sophomores and Juniors. Valedictorian; Senior Class Secretary; Chemistry Club; De-O-Wain-Sta Staff; Brass Tacks Staff; Orchestra. INA EUGENIA FREDERICI (‘Bubbles’) Those of us who knew Ina of old are won- dering what has become of that extreme re- serve by which she was characterized in the days when she wore curls down over her shoul- ders, and said “Oh My” instead of “Hot Dog.” De-O-Wain-Sta Staff. Home Room Sec- retary and Treasurer. —Photo McClusky.
