THE AGNITA JOSEPH P. DURNING Joe (President, Basketball) His frank amiable face helped him, and as a lucky star lighted the way before him. Joe, the president of the class, possesses the personality, fineness, loyalty and dependability that one in his position requires on so many occasions. We have appreciated him as a leader, student and ath- lete. He excels in argumentation—his master topics being War and Communism. Sugartown has many reasons for being proud of her representative. Good-bye, Joe, and may your future associates see you as we do. WILLIAM E. SHERIDAN Bill (Vice-president) He strikes his ideas out of his material as the sculptor reveals the breathing life in the stone. The duke of the Class of 39 is Bill. Although he comes from Downingtown, he is able to keep us well informed of what the well-dressed man should wear. His wisecracks are so well known in these stately walls of learning that we fear he will be greatly missed for these, if for nothing else. Bill possesses the qualities of a leader, which qualities, we hope, will some day shine in their fullest radiance. May you meet with every success, Bill ! 10

THE AGNITA AGNES M. BARRY Agnes” (Treasurer, Orchestra, Hockey, Basketball) Modest and shy as a nun is she. Quiet, reserved, sweet—adjectives hardly de- scribe her. Petite, but oh, so dependable and effi- cient! Every Monday morning, with a twinkle in her blue eyes and a smile playing on her lips, Agnes so graciously asked us for our class dues that we felt ashamed if we were not prepared to comply with so gentle a request. May your sweet winning ways win for you many friends and great happiness in the coming years. MARIE C. DIXON Marie” (Secretary, Hockey, Basketball) She attracts us like a magnet and guides us like a light.” This merry lass comes from Paoli. Always cheerful, she is a welcome addition to any group. Basketball is Marie’s favorite sport. We all remember the critical moments when she flipped” the ball into the basket for the winning points. Marie’s calm compo- sure and quiet reserve have enabled her to attempt and accomplish many very difficult tasks. We are proud to present her as a desirable candidate for the nursing profession. May your ambitions be attained, Marie! BENJAMIN M. BERARDI Benny From his mouth came a buzzing like the murmur of a waterfall.” Benny” is a likeable chap whose quick wit has prevented many a dull moment and provided many a happy one. His good scholarship has merited for him the praise of his teachers, while his ability to prompt has secured for him an indispensable place among the slower pupils. In future years, we expect to hear of him as one of West Chester’s most prominent business men. We’ll miss you, Benny,” but we wish you success. 11
