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.

'nm muuuzsr N gg g WILLIAM LYONS Bill Lyons, possessing all the qual- ities of a handsome football quarter- back, is the idol of many. Football fans marvel at his ability to find those tiny breaks in his opponent's steadfast line. Their wild cries of encouragement spur him on to a touchdown. They see his fighting spirits aroused as he dashes about on the basketball floor, and they gasp as he arches the ball into the basket. They exclaim as he displays his agil- ity in the high jump, and it makes them fairly dizzy to Watch him tear around the track. Further evidence of his leadership is the fact that he was elected president of the Student Council in his senior year William Colburn Helen Greenstreet Activities: Track 1-2-3-4, Football 2-3-4, Basketball 2-3, Chorus 2-3-4, Class Treasurer 3-4, Class Vice-President 2, Student Council 2, Student Council Pres- ident 4, Hillcrest Staff 4, Boys' Disci- plinary Council 3-4. DOROTHY MAY Dorothy' entered our happy family in her freshman year. She- immedi- ately identified herself as one who will get along with people. She did not attach herself to one person but interested herself in many. Much of her time she spent in our attractive library. As a result of the training she acquired while there, she will probably develop into a very capable an.d efficient librarian. Besides her cultural interests she likes sports and: has participated in girls' athletics. She has found a pe- culiar joy in roller skating.
