THE AGNITA CHARLES W. FRAME Basketball, Captain His sliding very useful may not seem Until tried against an opposing team. ' The earnest quietness of this boy in particu- larly interesting and doubtful situations is well balanced by nis readiness to enjoy a spon- taneous joke or to emit a satisfying laugh. “Charlie’’ is especially interested in science and mathematics, both of which he hopes to use to advantage in the near future. His coolness and skill on the basketball floor are readily recog- nized. Gladly do we look to him as captain of our team. “Charlie,” continue as you have begun, and success will quietly come your way. MARY LOUISE GRAUL Basketball, Glee Cub With many talents is she blessed— In her worthy success will rest.” Tall, graceful, and ambitious—Louise has often merited praise for the manner in which she fills the role of charming hostess and eager student. So pleasing is her personality that even the most exacting of the class finds it’s a simple task to get along with her. In basketball—a sport which holds real fascination for her—she is a most capable player, and has won the rep- utation of being one of our fastest guards. With your characteristics, Louise, we feel that good fortune will be to you no stranger. PATRICIA A. HART Basketball, Glee Club, Science Club Good nature, good breeding, and good sense— A trio with which she’ll ne’er dispense.

How fortunate will be those to whom she will impart knowledge! May Dame Fortune attend you, Patricia. 23

THE AGNITA MARGARET M. MANNING Orchestra, Glee Club As the first pink blush of dawn dispells the night. Thus does she scatter gloom by her smile so bright. If ''continual cheerfulness is a sign of wis- dom,’’ we have in Margaret a wise classmate. The charming smile that plays about her lips dismisses the gloom of despair and ushers in the sunshine of happiness. Though she possesses the sparkle and brightness of a new-minted coin, her sterling qualities will never tarnish. An active member of the orchestra, Margaret derives many hours of pleasure from her violin. May the muses continue to charm you as you travel life’s way, Margaret. JAMES F. McCORMICK Basketball In 'Jim’ we have a happy boy. Who knows and loves true mirth and joy. His quiet, unpretentious manner, and his ability to perform almost any task at any time have won for “Jim” the esteemed position that he enjoys in our class. When all is quiet, we can depend upon him to supply a sponta- neously humorous comment which springs from a light heart and a happy disposition. Since entering high school, his ability in basketball has been unquestioned, and now he has an enviable position on the varsity team. “Jim,’’ we hope your success in life will be parallel to your success in sports. JEAN S. McGROGAN Basketball, Glee Club Her ready smile and jolly way Reflect upon her work and play. Her jolly laughter and sunny disposition have endeared Jean to each member of the class. Although her desirable traits are numerous, cheerfulness is the characteristic which pre- dominates. In a matter-of-fact way, she accepts the bitter with the sweet, and in her nonchalant way proves to all the fact that “a man’s task is as light as his heart.” Jean, may the rays of sunshine which you have so unpretentiously scattered be reflected in your own life. 25
