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.

 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!

JENNIE MACIOROWSKI “Mac” Dancing Club 1,2, Newspaper 2,3,4, Basketball 4, Bomberettes 3,4, Student Council 4. Swish—Swish there goes Jennie off to some meeting. Who wouldn’t be on the go with the job of Business Manager for both Echo-Lites and Quovadis. Such ambition demands admiration. Jennie has managed to find time for sports and, in fact, she’s one of the leading Bomber- ettes. She receives very regular mail from many “cousins (?).” Of course, we believe you, Jennie! RAYMOND MALISZEWSKI “Ray” Football 3. Did you bag that deer today, Ray? When hunting season rolls around school fades into the background for this en- thusiast. Most of the noise in the up- stairs corridor was Ray, Homer and Minnow arguing over the deer that got away. Have you ever tried hunting more feminine “deer”, Ray? With those shoulders and good looks you’d meet any girl’s qualifications. HELEN MANSFIELD “Stretch” Bamberetts 3,4, Basketball 4. Stretch has one ambition in life to be- come a Physical Education teacher. Why not? She’s our outstanding athlete among the girls. It was a blow to Helen—and to the team when a frac- tured wrist kept her from practicing. Fortunately she recovered quickly—to collect the acclaim she deserves. A cer- tain soldier is attempting to side-track her first ambition with that certain ring. What’s the score, Stretch?
