FRANCES AUGUSTINE. Francie was a mem- ber of the small set. Her naturally curly black hair was envied by many of the less fortunate gals. Francie plans to become a secretary if her dreams of being a singer do not come true. This tiny lass enjoyed every moment she spent warbling in the Girls Chorus and the Mixed Chorus. HARRY BALDWIN. Bunky, the short shop boy, held the title for coming to school late. He took a razzing when he got lost and the fire company had to come to his aid. School was just a place to pass the time for Bunky, He enjoyed the rod and gun sports and would rather ski than sit in detention hall. He will probably become a bus driver as he loves to ride in cars. GEORGE BALI.. George was a quiet, studious lad who made English class brighter through his comical speeches. He was usually one of the first to enter the school building in the morning. George secretly liked the girls. He played the Talking Machine at many parties until the jukebox arrived. George hopes to become sorneone. His alias in senior assembly put the audience, literally, in the aisles. JOHN BARTON. Baron was a quiet lad who lived on a farm. Though he kept to his close friends, Kelly and Leonard, he knew the urge to be a little mis- chievous at times. john collected books and when he wasn't reading, he took in a movie. He made the most of his shop courseand seemed to enjoy it. l HILDA BENNA. Susie, as she was known by her friends, was the quiet lass who believed in being seen but not heard. The commercial club and movies were her means of passing time. Susie read all the books available and was an enjoyable classmate. Her quiet efficiency should aid her in becoming a secretary. HELEN BEREZONSKY. Berzy, our snappy drum majorette, displayed much talent in twirling the baton. Much of Berzy's time was spent at the roller skating rink. The results: a skater with the grace of a swan. Her delight was to attend a football game or spend the evening dancing and giggling. Since she had con- nections with local grocery stores, Berzy was always in demand as head of refreshment committees for class parties. GEORGE BESTVINA. Henry or Herky was a very likable chap, full of fun. He had a knack for be- coming ill very often. Five minutes after the last bell, Herky would saunter in. He was very active in sports. Herky's humorous remarks kept the class alive. His main desire is to perfect a machine to write his English speeches for him. DOLORES BIALEK. Dolly, our amiable blonde cheerleader who comes to us from the Mississippi, suffered the teasing that was caused by her southern drawl.

A willing helper, Dolly carried all the activities she could handle, She was a member of the Chorus, Sextet, Shadarrow, and Shadonian.
