Here’s hoping that all your days are lucky days. JUNE FREY “Dimples and smiles.” June is a pleasant and well-liked girl. Al- though she plays a violin in the schoolu orches- tra and teaches a violin class, her ambition is to be a beautician. ANNABELLE SMITH “Through thick or thin She is your friend.” Annabelle’s the little girl with the big smile, and really her smile is almost as big as she is. There is no doubt that her future will be a successful one because she is a hard worker and her personality is a vivid one. VIOLET BOSWELL “The world’s a stage.” Violet would be a hit on the stage—judging from the operetta and Senior play acting. She is also very active in her “lunch time” per- formance. Besides, she has a sincere and sunny disposition. CATHERINE DEAL “Bv being loving and kind, The world does not leave us behind.” Catherine is one of the most useful girls in the Senior class. She worked in the cafe- teria and assisted in the office. Then, too, she is kind-hearted. Because of her willingness to work she should easily fill the part of her life’s ambition—to be a nurse. PAUL MOORE “Talking of shy people Here’s more. (Moore)” A shy but friendly boy is an accurate de- scription of Paul. He loves his friends and strives to please them. We feel that Paul will make the most of his future. DELBERT BISER “He must have love—and more of it.” “Bos” is destined to be a real Future Farmer of America. He has always shown a love for fun and is well thought of by his classmates. EDGAR MYERS “By his drawings we shall know him.” If you see a tall, lanky boy sitting on a hill, painting a very picturesque landscape, it will be Edgar. If you talk to him and receive a witty answer, there is no doubt about it—it is Edgar. HONORA WOLFE “We haven’t known her long, But with us she belongs.” Honora is a cheerful girl with an interest in child nursing. She came to us during the Junior year from Indiana High School. HELEN KLINE “Short and sweet.” Helen is a short, friendly little girl inclined to giggle at times and who blushes easily. She has not chosen her future work as yet, but we wish her all the happiness and success in the world. BETTY FAGER “With her sunny disposition She’s bound to secure a position.” Betty is a cheerful, dark-haired girl with a great interest for chemistry and sports. She served as president of the class in the Sopho- more year. MARY SLOTTLEMYER “She’s the sunny side of life.” Mary is a very active girl, who has served as an office girl and a cafeteria worker. Her love of fun is enjoyed by all and by it she has gained a great many friends. VIRGINIA LASPE “If friends were money, Virginia would be rich!” Virginia is the youngest member of the Senior class. She is known for her good na- tured and friendly manner. Her desire is to be either a nurse or a beautician. We know that Virginia will be successful in either field. Pane 8

fMeet the Class of 1940 Richard Myers—President Betty Fager—Vice President Virginia Harp—Secretary-Treasurer Student Council Members Richard Winters Virginia Harp Mary K. Newcomer Richard Myers Motto: “Tonight We Launch—Where Shall We Anchor?” Flower—American Beauty Rose Colors—Rose and Silver LESLIE HAPPEL •‘Oh Romeo, My Romeo ' Leslie, our class Romeo, is the pleasant young boy with the crooked smile. In his four years at S. H. S. he has been outstanding in all forms of high school activities. He has especially distinguished himself as an athlete. He plans to join the navy and may he go far! RICHARD WINTERS “Speaking of brilliance - - He shines with the sun.” Capable to the n .. th degree—that is “Dick,” and his capabilities rest not in one field, either. His future promises much, for he is sure to meet business problems with the same vigor and calmness that he showed at S. H. S. RICHARD MYERS H2 worries little And studies less.” Another member of the class who will be missed is “Rich,” who served as Senior class president. Wit and wholesome good humor radiates from him. This should go toward making the world a better place to live. WILBUR CLARK “Like a ship in a storm His future is unknown.” Wilbur is the smiling, curly-haired boy with no plans for his future. May your high school experiences and comradeship be of utmost benefit to you! MABLE KUHN ‘If silence were golden, Mable would live in a poorhouse.” Mable is one of those persons to whom lockjaw would be the worst affliction. It’s surprising how much she can say in a short time. She played the clarinet in the school orchestra for five years. Her greatest ambi- tion is to be a child nurse. VIRGINIA BLICKENSTAFF “A true and loyal friend. A smile for everyone has won Virginia many friends during her stay at S. H. S. She played the clarinet in the school orchestra. Her ambition is to become a clerk, and per- sonally we think her customers will indeed be fortunate. MARY K. NEWCOMER “Speaking of hard work— Sre’s right in it. Mary Katharine is one member of the class who carefully weighs matters, makes a decision and sticks to it. As editor of the “High News” she proved to us that she can work and plan. Teaching is her highest ambition and there is no doubt but that she’ll make the best. EMERSON RIDENOUR “Slow but sure. Emerson’s wit and capacity for making friends would have been unknown if we had not looked beneath the surface of his leisurely existence. Here’s to you, Emerson! VIRGINIA HARP “Active and attractive.” Virginia is a very active girl in sports and scholastic work. She served as cashier in the cafeteria during her Junior year. Her man- ner is liked by all who know her. MIRIAM KLINE “On the upward trend.” Miriam is a tall, dark-haired girl, somewhat excitable in nature. She worked in the cafe- teria and took an interest in athletics. Her happy nature is pleasing to all. BEULAH WALTER “A slim brunette.” Beulah’s greatest interest is home econom- ics. She’s also happy-go-lucky, and we wouldn’t Page
