Meet the Class of 1943 PRESIDENT RICHARD MASTERS VICE PRESIDENT............DONALD BOLLINGER SECRETARY EARL BACHTEIL TREASURER.....................JAMES SMITH HOME-ROOM REPRESENTATIVE.......QUINN FOGLE Motto: EACH ONE IS THE ARCHITECT OF HIS OWN FORTUNE Color: ROSE and SILVER Flower: AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE The world knows nothing of Us greatest men” The class president, Richard Masters, has strength of character that is most admirable. This strength has led him into many extra curriculum activities—athletics, High News business manager, Glee Club, orchestra— in them all he is invaluable. “Muse of the many twinkling feet Capable to her fingertips but partial to the Navy is June Whitmer. She's done a lot as assistant editor of the High News. Like two gentlemen rolled into one He blushes when he forgets something. That makes it hard for the spectators. But in that lies Donald Bollinger's charm. Some credit in being jolly Charlotte Mong's generous nature is just one of her many fine qualities. Always cheerful, always willing to help, gives a hint as to why her company is attractive. “Give thy thoughts no tongue” In Kenneth Needy we have one of the more reticent members of the class. Besides keeping up with his classes, Kenneth worked nightly in one of our defense factories. Tis neither here nor there How one person can find time enough for so many varied activities is a mystery! Christine Olson was active in music, scholastic work, the library, sports—all with no show of strain. A nice man is a man of nasty ideas” Carefree! Lester Davis has the strange ability to shirk school tasks. But because of I ester, the class is an all-around one. am a part of all that I have met Have you heard Betty Tressler's spon- taneous laugh? She seldom lacks something at which to laugh. She is one of the most versatile of the class, whether it's singing or soliciting ads. A bold bad man A mischievous nature has brought Con- way Flohr some trouble but none serious. He'll go a long way as a soldier—and hus- band. My heart is true as steel LaNono Hahn, the athlete and the girl with the golden locks, dazzles the eyes of a soldier. Better late than never Albert Kretsinger, the class jester, likes net only athletics but also cigars. This boy could cause more trouble and get away with it than any other person. “Variety's the very spice of life Frances Green's brown eyes are always sparkling. No matter how serious the con- versation, she adds a twist or turn to en- liven it. As the High News editor and cafeteria cashier, Frances was very efficient. ‘‘.4 lion among ladies is the most dreadful thing It isn't everybody who can be hail-fellow- well-met and still possess a capacity for se- rious work as James Smith. He was prom- inent in the Glee Club, High News and class activities. “As good as a play Number, please, says Phyllis Slick. Be- sides acting as telephone relief operator, Phyllis found time to be active in class work cmd extra curriculum. Page 5
