GLORIA M. FINR Allentown, R. 32 Although Gloria may seem to be a quiet girl, this does not keep her from having fun with her friends. The fact that she enjoys both telling and hearing jokes guarantees us that Sis has a good sense of humor. Among her hobbies she rates movies as the most entertaining. Basketball, roller-skating, and horse- back riding take up the rest of her leisure time. Sis tells us that some day she would like to own a new Packard. We hope that Gloria succeeds in obtaining her prized possession. Course: Commercial Activities: Trumpet Staff 3, 4. ROBERT K.
