Preston Flohr Vice-president — —..— Margaret Thomas Secretary-treasurer Jacquolyn Miller Advisory Board Members Charles Maclay, Etta Shockey Motto— From what has been to what may be. F lower—Ga rden ia Colors—Lavender and White Few members of the Class of '44 have more friends than Mary Biser—the fact is probably to be accounted for by her ability to get along well with people. Parti- cipation in all sports, with good work in the Glee Club, balanced her interests. When we think of music we always think of Agnes Funk. But other activities claim her attention—presi- dent of the Advisory Board, and assistant editor of the High News, and those favorite pastimes—eating and giggling. When the final roll is called and the merits are awarded, Zelda Grove will be right there. That's just her nature—the jobs that no one else wants! As a helper in the principal's office she was very valuable. Dependable — that's Lorena Forrest — witness the regularity of all her work! As a nurse, the future has a great place for her. Class of 44 Known as a good basketball player and Johnnie's best girl, Katrishia Trite came to us in the Sophomore year and immediately established herself as an in- teresting personality. Pearl Stottlemyer, a demure modest maiden, was a faithful cafeteria worker and a lover of Home Eco- nomics. We wish her the best of luck in whatever she does. The High News is very much indebted to Etta Shockey for her time spent in typing. Bes:des being very fond of dancing, Etta has excellent ideas about dressing. As a future Navy wife she should be very efficient. As Alumni editor, Gwen Hays proved to be a val- uable asset to the staff. Let someone mention dancing and watch her beam and Hop to it . This happy- go-lucky blonde always carries laughter wherever she goes. Jacquolyn Miller is a slim brunette and Etta's pal. Because she was interested in flower arrangement, she worked on the side in a flower shop. Good luck to you, Jacky, when you join the Air Motor Transport Corps! Margaret Thomas is one of those meek individuals who knows more than she expresses, but underneath Page 5
