 ANNA VENSEL Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Senior Reporter Salt Shaker 4. Anyone who knows Anna is aware of her pep, her dash, and her never-failing: sense of humor, and her boy friends. One day she’ll be in rhapsodies and the next day her feelings are laconically expressed thus—what’s the use of falling: in love? In spite of her affairs de la coeur, Anna is one of our best students when it comes to heavy assignments.

LA SALTIANNA J Joseph scorr Track 1, 2, 3; President 3; Orchestra 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; “In Cherry Time” 4; Circulation Manager LaSalti-anna 4. This is Scott. You don’t know him, you can’t know all of him. Scott is many-sided, versatile. He acts, plays the banjo, and is a speaker of no mean ability. The opinions he has often make the rest of us sit up and take notice. He has that faculty of probing a problem to the very foundation and then analyzing every atom of it until satisfied. Interesting. 1 ROBERT SHIRLEY French Circle 3; Advertising Committee LaSaltianna 4. I arge, dove-like eyes has our Robert, but they are misleading. Although meek and gentle in appearance he has been known to cause quite a disturbance in French class and quite a few arguments in mathematics, by the way —that’s his hobby, mathematics—and like Holmes we can say— “That boy with the grave mathematical look. VIRGINIA SHIRLEY Glee Club 1, 2; Orchestra 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. A musical Miss is Virginia, capable of drawing forth fairylike melodies from her violin, but withal quie and retiring so that few are well acquainted with her. Virgil is her hoodoo for in spite of piteous pleas, Jupiter fails to endow her with the secret of understanding Latin. { 1, 2, 3; JAMES STEWART Track 1, 2, 3; Basketball Reserves 1, 2. 3; Glee Club 2; Orchestra 2. 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; Vice-President 3; Basketball 4; Sports Editor LaSaltianna 4. Here is a fellow who always seems to be just getting ready for a nap. napping, or just awakening from one. He has a slow lazy drawl that suggests waving palms and leisurely caravans meandering slowly across the desert. But at times Jim is very wide-awake and during those moments he accomplishes a great deal. Page twenty 1 929

--LA SALTIANNA THE SENIORS' HIGH SCHOOL FLIGHT Lindbergh hade a non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in thirty-three hours and has been honored and praised ever since. We Seniors have made four flights during our high school life hut they are figurative only and no one thinks of linking our names with that of Lindbergh. We took off in our plane Freshman on the first Monday in September, 1925. Our passenger list would have done credit to one of the huge planes of the present day for it totaled fifty-three. The first term was our “Trial Flight ; then it was determined whether we were skilled enough to venture higher up. Fortunately we made the grade and our instructors passed us on to the next class. We had been steered safely through that trying flight by our chief aviator, Clifford Cunningham; his assistant, Alice Guthridge; secretary, Thelma Rosensteel: and treasurer, Harry Campbell. The last of May we landed and our plane was taxied into the hangar and the doors locked for three months vacation. Xext year our plane had acquired the name Sophomore. We retained the same officers for they had acquitted themselves so well the preceding year that we placed absolute trust in their ability. Many of our passengers this year entered into the various school activities. Two violinists, a banjo player, and a guitarist represented the class in the High School Orchestra which had been organized that year. Several girls joined the Glee Club and we were very well represented on the Boys’ Basketball and Track teams. That flight was very successful. We had established ourselves firmly in the high school. Our third flight came none to soon to many of us who had our hearts set on that goal—that reward for which we had expended so much time and effort—Graduation. When we boarded the Junior we realized that our responsibilities were indeed greater, that we were now upper classmen and as such it was our duty to live up to our school standards. Carefully we chose our pilot and assistants. Joseph Scott was elected chief officer; James Stewart, his assistant; Pauline Allenhaugh, secretary; and Mike Prassak, treasurer. As Junior passengers we took a great part in the activities attending our flight. One of our fellow classmen was appointed manager of the Basketball Team, others were members of the Track and Basketball squads. Again the Orchestra was benefited by the musical talent of our aviators and = Page twenty-two 1929
