SENIORS WIGNDELL HARWOOD Paclerewskiewendell Harwood is to Roosevelt School as the immortal master. When this quiet, unassum- ing' individual is seated at the key- board, he assumes an entirely differ- ent personality. He becomes as one apart from him whom we have known. He calls from his instru- ment magniticent harmonies. He touches it softly, and it responds with minor strains of unspeakable sweetness. Our thoughts of Wendell as quiet and conservative vanish. While he plays, we discover that we do not know him at all. Wendell has been the classical link in the class. He may be quiet and reserved but he is always sure of a thing before he speaks. We all hope Wendell continues his study of the piano. lt will make us proud to have known one who can assume the rank of a recognized artist. Dorothy Jenks HELEN HEIMERDINGER Here'S a girl whom one would quickly notice in a group of students. She has fiaming red hair. Her pleas- ing personality adds to her abun- dance of attractiveness. Crazy over dancing and popular music, she knows all about the prominent jazz bands and is constantly humming snatches of the newest jazz melodies. Hailing from a small country school, little Helen was at sea during her first .day in the ninth grade. With the passing' of time, however, she overcame her qualms. Her school record shows that she has partici- pated in the school choruses and in French Club and Scisnerof. Her co- operative spirit was clearly brought out by he-r work in the production of The Perfect Alibi.

She was sent for canning' twice, sewing once, and food study once. In 1932 she was se- lected as one of the best judges of canned goods.

HELEN GREEANSTREET Who is Helen, what is she that all the folks adore her? She is so sweet, gracious, and with it all so exrentionally etEcie-nt, that she makes friends wherever she goes. Her de- pendability is of the 1847 sterling silver variety. Her willingness to work with the class and for the class is worthy of 'cum laude' mention. Kind to everyone and always willing' to do her share in either work or play, she has set a fine example for those who would achieve- much. She has attained an enviable- rec- ord socially and academically. Dur- insr her sophomore year she ,made an all-A record, and so her name was engraved on the scholarship cup.

rx '19 C . f'Q LEl'!! Ls, so as DOROTHY JENKS When Dorothy Jenks, the girl with the raven bangs, entered our great institution in the fifth grade, she brought volumes of friendliness with her. She is a Roosevelt pupil who can be depended upon to start things and to see them through. If a per- son asks her a question, he may be quite confident that he is going to be answered frankly. There certainly is little suggestion of evasion in her methods of doing or saying things. Her dramatic plunges as the mar- ried sister in the Junior Play and as the sophisticated Jane in the Senior Play did not squelch her enthusiasm, for she is still going out for hilarious good times.

THYRA KINGHORN A sudden burst of enthusiasm and a very composed young lady is trans- formed into a bubbling school-girl. The change comes so unexpectedly that it seems like the metamorphosis rf the quiet moth into the flashing gow-Worm. Thus her friends are prompted to quote the famous Mr. Huber's views, It wouldn't seem that Thvra Kinghorn could ever act so silly. Her interests are endless. She is musical: she loves to dramatize everv conceivable situation, she's a shark at Latin, and she likes to study. As a Junior she' was elected to the Na- tional Honor Society.
