She is interested in the arts: knitting, drawing and weaving- and has excelled in these to a great extent. Here's to your future happiness, Angel. FRANCES RUTH DEWHURST Let your smile be your umbrella. Here we have the feminine half of that famous Dewhurst brother-sister team. Characterized by a dazzling smile and eyes that seem to snap with joie de vivre, Ruthie has been one of the most cheery and optomistic members of our class. Happy days, Ruth! WILLIAM HARRY DEWHURST, Jr. Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. Billy, the second half of the Dewhurst team is particularly well informed on the mysteries of rub- ber. When self-assurance was being distributed, Bill was on hand for a large share. Never during our sojourn in M.H.S. have we been able to surprise him or take him unawares. ,May you always be confident, but never over-confident.
