 JEAN LANG “Sleepy” Newspaper 2,3, Dancing Club 1, Art Club, 1,2, Glee Club 4, Minstrel 1,2,3. “They dream of Jeanie with the jet black hair.” Her black tresses and fair complexion are the envy of every Senior girl. Jean is the artist of our class. She has been the chairman of the decorating committee for all our affairs. Her artis- tic ability has two sides to it. When- ever she has a piece-of paper and pencil there is no telling what might happen. Generally any resemblance to anything is purely accidental. LAVERNE LASCO “Verne” Art Club 1,2, Dancing Club 1,2, Com- mercial Club 1, Glee Club 4, Newspaper 2,3, Minstrels 1,2,3. Who’s the last person to come to class? You have probably seen Laverne come straggling in with a late excuse and that carefree smile. Her little mind is just too full of a certain “Smash-up” Sailor to be concentrated on Studies. In Algebra she uses her math to count the days till Chops will be home again. JOHN LAPA “Johnny” Football 3,4, Baseball 2,3, Student Council 4. “Stand clear” here comes Johnny down the street in his Chevvie. When he whizzes through town, people scat- ter. Oh well, he is only preparing for his flying career that will soon come. Johnny has been very co-operative in class activities, and mostly all sports. Good luck in the Air Corps!

ANTOINETTE KAPICA “Mickey” Dancing 1, Typing 2. “Mickey” calls on Miss Bohm quite often after school, we wonder if her steady conversing with Terry in study is to blame for that. What do you and Terry find to discuss? She delights in chewing on peanuts during English and Law Classes. Mak- ing the honor roll is not an unusual achievement. When asked about her plans for the future she says, “Time will tell.” As present her main interest is the Army. Patriotism???? t. WILLIAM KROEGER “Bill” Student Council 3. The more the merrier seems to be Bill’s theory. Heck, ten is just company for him. How do you find this on dates, Betty? Maybe he’s afraid of the dark. Until Miss Hudak moved Bill next to Newsie, you’d never know he was there. Now he “talks just like any other Senior.” ANTHONY KRONOWSKI “Kron” Dancing 1, Basketball 2,3, Baseball 1,2. Operator? O-p-e-r-a-t-o-r ? - Wake up, Kron, and answer that call. You’re the night operator, remember? . . . He’s really fast-on a basketball court. As a Sophomore he managed (and very well) the Varsity Basketball team while playing Jay-Vee Ball. One thing very perplexing is his name. Please, some- body, is it Kron or Kronowski?

V DOUGLAS LINDEN “Doug.” B nd 1,2, Science Club 1,2. Off he goes into the wild blue beyond sky. Doug’s one ambition is soon to be- come a reality. He has been sworn in as an Aviator Cadet. Ever since he en- tered High School he has been prepar- ing himself for this career. Even pilots have other interests. Silent communications are sent from Doug to a certain girl at another study hall table and back again. Maybe he’s practicing code! IRENE LOCKWOOD “Renie” Hold the school bus- Don’t leave Morgan yet, Renie still has chickens to feed! When there is an outburst in the commercial class it is sure to be one of Renie’s subtle (?) jokes. Renie is one of the most valuable members of the Girls’ Varsity Basket- ball team. She tallies the baskets as the girls sink them. GEORGE LOWRY “Minnow” Football 2,3,4, Science 1,2, Vice President, 1, Newspaper 1, President 1,2, Student Council 1,2, Victory Corps 3, Yearbook. Half the fun of football practice was watching Minnow speeding down the field, rushing here, there, everywhere— but fast! But I suppose he has the right idea—why hurry? There’s plenty of time. The title of “heaviest member of the class” goes to you, “Minnow” and its usual accompaniment—the jolliest per sonality.
