william champlin president imogene gordy vice-president celia cooper secretary lawrence powell treasurer william fernando champlin, jr imogene virgie gordy CHAMPLIN IS THE MAN with an ap¬ petite for words; he has a copious vo¬ cabulary and speaks Spanish fluently, he is a history student, but industrial chem¬ istry will probably be a field that he will enter some day. an argument never fails to sharpen his interest, and he sticks to the side he believes best informed, fear¬ lessly. his ability to do things down to the thread of detail was admired by his class when they made him senior presi¬ dent. most literary for 1940 was voted him at the appropriate time to top all his achievements. IMOGENE HAS THE RARE combina¬ tion of love for study and love for humor, a joke always causes her to chuckle heartily, and study has been of interest because she has scholastically proved her¬ self. of extra-curricular activities she has liked dramatics best and she vividly re¬ members the literati scene in plumes in the dust in which she appeared as mrs. lewis, she has a most kindly nature and wilt unselfishly do things for you, but all have heard d.l. urge her, for heaven ' s sake, don ' t be so slow! celia mae cooper TALL, WILLOWY CELIA IS THE unso¬ phisticated friend of the day students ' room, here she has spent many an hour with her colleagues discussing, discussing— anything from spring bonnets to front door steps, she was never a worrier. lessons were calmly and easily finished, for celia could always manage to become resolute in at least ten minutes of a study hour, she was an active member of the glee club for two years and secretary of the senior class. lawrence alfred powell QUIET, UNASSUMING, INDUSTRIOUS —a really friendly sort—lawrence powell possesses sound common sense which is essential to a well rounded life, a natural sense of humor spiced with dry satiric wit is his specialty, add to this an un¬ readable physiognomy and you have the thing that makes lawrence ' s personality, as one of his practice pupils phrased it, a real nice fellow in the classroom and an even better one outside. -{20 }■
