THE HILIZES1' i V f MADGE BIRD Madge Bird, a tall slim girl with brown hair an.d dark brown eyes, is not exceedingly interested in the three R's but does play an active part in all other school enterprises. She was cast in the Junior Play, sang in the mixed chorus, and boosted Masque Club activities. Her hobby is collecting china dogs, as one might easily discern upon entering her room. She enjoys art work and likes to cut linoleum blocks. Madge is most characteristically described as a happy-go-lucky girl who expends much surplus energy by enthusiastically rooting at all Roose- velt athletic contests. Lois Smith Edna Mary Poe Activities: Girls' Athletics 1-2-3-4, Masque Club 3-4, t'Adam and Eva 3, Mixel Chorus 3, Hillcrest 4, Rough Rider 4. ROBERT BUSH As one of the more quiet unassum- ing members of the Senior Class, Robert Bush has held his own for the past year. l-le is very modest but decidedly attractive. Of him Webb might say Beautiful Eyes. In ad- dition to charm, he possesses a supply of dependability for the like of which one may seek far, He served effi- ciently on the stage committees for the Junior and Senior Plays. He en- joys athletics and founid track, bas- ketball, baseball, and football much to his liking. Robert Mellencamp Activities: Cross Cofuntry 3, Basket- ba.l 4, Baseball 4.

DONALD ALWAY 'iWhen I organize my sixteen-piece dance-band, I'll let you- These are the exclamations of Don, who left Ann Arbor High to spend his senior year at Roosevelt. He plays the drums, and all the contraptions that go with them, in Charles Nord- man's eleven-piece dance-band. Some day he hopes to organize and direct his own band. Next year he plans to study music at the Normal College. Don is a very good-natured fellow, and one can easily become acquainted with him by just starting to talk about dance-bands. But here's a warning, don't shake hands with him. He has a habit of grabbing and near- ly pulling your fingers off. That seems to be his outstanding fault. Charles Neir Activities: Ann Arbor High 1, 2, 3. WILLIAM BAZLEY A jovial lad. His manner instant- ly reveals a magnetic personality and arouses a friendly sort of feeling. Despite his leisurely approach and his magnificent bulk, he sidesteps im- pending work with an unexcelled agility. Bill is a great actor. and not alone in plays. His love of argument some- times leads him into difficulties but gives him great enjoyment. He can make his talk more than just talk. He has ideas, and his premises are usually based on facts. As he him- self says: It's the kickers who gct results. Bill is the kind of person who is going to make political and economic progress in this country. Neil Webb Bill Colburn Aclixilies: Boy Scouts 1-2-3, Adam and Eva 3, French Club 3, Student Council 3, The Perfect Alibi 4, Scisne- rof 4, Class President 4.

SENIORS NORMA JANE CAMPBELL From kindergarten through senior liiwh school Norma Jane Campbell has been an essential part of her class. Her argumentative ability is unlim- ited and perhaps in the future she will become one of the State's well- known women lawyers. lier fine soprano voice lends itsell' to solo vvorlc, and she has been a great aid to the Roosevelt chorus throughout her school career. She is also interested in dramatics, partici- r-ating in both Junior and Senior l'lavs in the respective roles of liva, leading' ladv, and Adams, the servant in the house. Certainlv the Class oi' 1933 would have lacked a certain fiavor if it had not been for the cen- tributions of this interesting' infli- vidual.

From the bc- gfinning of his school career, William Colburn has been a conscientious worker for the good of the class. His Freshman and Soplioniorc years he spent in purpose-ful study. Durine' the last two years his academ- ic ambition has lagged, because of the many activities in which hc has participated. He was a member ol' the .lunior and Senior Play casts and has held membership in many clubs and societies of the school.
