Mike is known the school over for his generous good nature, hard-working dependability, and witty remarks. During his eleven years at Spencer he has been outstanding not only scholastically, but also in extra-curricular activities. His duties as student manager of the 1946 carnival were discharged with characteristic common sense and hard work. It is no small thing to have gained the respect and confidence of students and faculty alike yet Mike's very blue eyes, his friendly manner, are as unassuming as they were that day when, as a sixth-grade safety patrolman, he was stmck by a passing car and the whole school grew tense with fright. There are some people who leave a lasting impression upon others. .Jeanne is certainly one of these, for there is something about her that one dot-sn't forget. Wim, Wigger, and Witality' might explain part of it, but not all. Add to that, good humor, initiative, enthusiasm, poise, a way with clothes and people, and you have Jeanne. Jeanne, too, is a member of the original class and during her years here at Spencer has taken an active interest in both scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Three consecutive years as varsity cheerleader have been a real test of her sincerity and endurance. We have seen her pass that test with flying colors. Now, Ken is the go-get-it, get-it-done type. He likes things clone and done right. If it isn't worth doing right, it isn't worth doing at all, should be, and probably is, his motto. It is no accident that he has served as treasurer and account-keeper for almost every organi- zation in the school. We don't have to wish Ken luck. He doesn't need it: he works for what he gets. Curly auburn hair, warm brown eyes, style of walking all her own: sympathetic common sense, friendly tolerance, loyalty, dependability. You've guessed it --Eloise. Not until the seventh grade did she join our Happy Band, from down Pennsylvania way. Yet her friends are legion and she never fails them. We feel sure that Eloise will re- ceive the best possible from life, for that's exactly what she gives -thc best l wh ...Z I V X 1 N f x X f' J T X ...f X l X fig s -Lett. ,Q 4 ll i Nb-Q.31,hl'l I xi' U in il... f t rt

Charlie is one of those lads with a personality plus, Hailim: from Madison in the sixth grade, he has become one of Spencer's staunch- est supporters. His likes? Oh, anything and everything: sports, dra- matics, dancintr, and of course. girls. Razor-sharp wit, quizzical grin, curly hair, helping hands that's Charlie. We're very sure everything will turn out all right for him. Why shouldn't it, with a smile like his? Quiet poise, attractive appearance, and personality, competent management. resourceful imagination, diversity of interests and ability these are some of the qualities which have contributed to Irene's success since the time when she entered Spencer in the fifth grade. She has made a name for herself, especially for her editorial work on the Ili-bites and the Spcncrrian, though dramatics, reading, and dancing, along with participation in scholastic and extra-curricular activities, have also taken much of her time. Nor should we forget to mention a certain college football player who ranks very hiprh in her present, list of interests. Speedy, as his friends call him, has been at Spencer since way back thar in the first grade. We'll remember him in his basketball hair-cut at center, nor can our ears forget soon the roof-raising cheers at pre-game pep rallies when his name was reached in the line-up. After commencement, Marty hopes to learn the carpenter trade and go into partnership with his father. Mildred is another of that small but honored group Spencer School has had around for all twelve years. During: that time she has made a place for herself with her good nature and warm friendliness, her cheerful acceptance of work, often the thankless, unpleasant kind that others steer clear of. We'll remember other things, too. The way she looked atop the high ladder decorating' the gym: her fondness for chewim: gum and volleyball: her labors over the Y-Teen treasurer's account: and most of all, her astonishing performance as a poisonously sweet spinster in Arsenic and Old Lace.
