SENIORS . . . NORMA JEAN PHELPS Dorn Grit that, kid? Blonde hair, blue eyes, a fair complexion that can blush at the slightest provocation, and dimples-that's Norma, known for her cheerful, poised manner and willing acceptance of re- sponsibility, whether it's cheerleading, night sessions with Hi- Litvs or Spefncerian, or presidency of the Student Council, She confesses to a fondness for housekeeping fShe'll need it!J and teasing iMr. Parmigian especiallyl, but bookkeeping-well! WILLIAM KOTHE Bill Dogs beware ! Scooters and dogs don't mix for Bill, but it seems dogs must learn the hard way. As for Bill, even here his ability to get into and out of tight corners continues to serve him, and we go right on being happier because of the courage and sunny disposition lHow can we forget that bubbling, quick chuckle?J of the lad who is always a friend. MARGARET HANNEMAN Marg Get me an excuse I One would expect versatility from a girl who can handle anything on wheels-automobile, truck, motorcycle, tractor-and to whom broken arms and sprained ankles are an old story. But add to this a kind of practical business sense put to good use in marketing and management of the Tip Top, willing- ness tovserve on endless property committees, quiet poise, an attractive appearance, and Bill Aand that's Margaret. :Abbie Lee NEAL CRAV use this man- Say ..Neal,,l for his 9:0011- a preference fofmomelff yllleldg loyalty to schoold the lcjt lg, persistence Whicifffy rea lc man and now in for annual advertisinn' whw lu no chine or a balky yard'wl C ' th ey may p roduce'islil'icalall3rY5o tl?

SENIORS FRED INMAN Ichabod When: are wr going? Quiet and easy-going, that's Fred usually, but at the most unexpected times he comes out with some dry piece of satirical wit. He is noted for his loyalty to his Flying Rainbowug his fondness for T.V., landscaping, track, and Maryg his self-con- tained, ingenious attitude: his aloofness both of stature and mindg and his devilishness. LORETTA BRAZIS ULorette Fm late! With lovely brown eyes and bright smile, volatile Loretta has shared with many her enjoyment of music, art, and poetry through long hard hours of work on special programs and bulletin boards. We'll remember too her quiet sincerity in the Voice of Democracy Contest, her riotous scenes as Mrs. Winkle, the hazards of learning: to drive, and her loyal affection and care for her little sister. HARRY PERCIVAL Percy -'non Baby We shall never forget that April day when a careless driver changed the course of Harry's life. But not all the long hours in a hospital or the pain or inconvenience could defeat the kind of stamina Harry has, or quench his ringing baritone- or his fondness for motorcycles, football, roller skating, and jitterbugging, or prevent his stout-hearted support of school sports and activities. The cooks will remember too his daily lunch-line reminder, I'm pretty hungry today -and the empty Illate returned so soon for more.

SENIORS JOHN CLARKSON Johan Baby! As a freshman Johnny handled his first dramatic role- creating Elmer, warm-hearted, noisy, troublemaking kid brother in the 'Thespian one-act play of that name, and he has seldom been out of character since. A bit of braggadocio, a good deal of wit, biting or otherwise, flashes of inspired humor, a voice that can be 'heu,rd, an endearing little boy manner iwhen he wishesj, and the kind of spirit that lets him take a football injury in stride, koeps him fighting till the final whistle blows on the basketball floor, or sends him sailing over the high cross bars-that's Johnny. Anyone who knows him can readily understand his fondness for riding an ice- cream scooter, and Dolf and Norv can tell you the kind of pal he is. BETTY JEAN RUDOLPH Rudy Beats me! Betty Jean has hazel eyes, a disposition both vivacious and serious, a graceful, poised posture, and a flexibility of voice and face which have lent themselves admirably to the creation of many exacting character roles, comic and tragic. Per- sistence, determination, intensity of purpose, a sense of re- sponsibility, these characterize her 'whether she's editing Hi-Liles or Spencerian, working in her 4-H Club or at Ben Franklin, teaching a Sunday School class, or setting a record for twelve years of perfect attendance at school. JOHN KERWIN , Jack That little devil. Jack is the lad with the matinee idol profile-and sleepy eyes when he arrives in homeroom every morning just in the nick of time fthat is, if alarm clock Bill Kothe is on time.J He is known to exert himself for the Key Club, P. O. D., football, editorial and art work, the ailing mimeograph lin fact, he's the authority on its ailmentsl, and . . . well, frankly, just lots of things, all this accompanied by plenty of teasing and a good seasoning of jokes. And one thing everyone knows- there's not a more loyal or sincere person in Spencer than Jack Kerwin. ROGER COOK Cookie Ha-a-a-a.-a-a-u-a When an explosive laugh nearly shakes you out of your seat, you can be pretty sure it's Roger just showing his appre- ciation of something seen, read, or heard. He has a craving for candy, player piano rolls, cars, and especially scooters fat least he is often seen riding to school on his special J. But something known to few is the fact that Roger is already an expert in the odd-job field, and that some of his imagination and initiative paid dividends for the Class of '51 when it came to getting new ads for the Spe'nce1'ia'rL.
