28 THE ACADEMY STUDENT GORDON McLEAN Halloween Stunt 1, 2; Monitor 4; Grinds Committee 4; Varsity Debate Team 4. Gordon is quiet, a very deep thinker and seldom smiles except when his North Danville interest passes by. In addition to this he can argue with the best of debaters, and win! MARION McGILL “When Troubadours Sang 1; Invitation Committee 4; Basketball 1; Monitor 3, 4; Winter Sports 2, 3, 4; Reception Committee 4; Honor Student 1; Class Stunt 2; Division Captain 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Marion was our skater and quite an accomplished athlete besides. We understand she is to be a business woman. May she win as many positions in the world as she did in skating races. MERTON McGILL “Philo” To farming Merton is adapted and with a certain German maiden he should make a success. We have seen very little of him in extra-curricular activities but we recognize him in the class room by his keen sense of humor. EDWARD McGINITY “Eddie” Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4. Though books never appealed to Edward, be showed what he w'as capable of in Math. That was shown in the manner in which he tossed those numbers around in his quarter-back position in football. THOMAS McGUIRE “Tom” Thomas is our representative in the ranks of the soap box orators. With his immense vocabulary, power of speech and black, curly locks he should become our second Huey Long in a verv short time, “under a tutor like Mr. Steele.” NELSON McRAE Honor Student 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Student Board 3, 4; President of A. A. 4; Soccer 4; Monitor 3; Cap and Gown Committee 4; SALUTATORIAN. Nelson led the boys this year in the honor field to which accomplishment we boys doff our hats. Although he had a tendency to be late to A. A. meetings he usually showed up before they were adjourned. We wdsh you luck.

THE ACADEMY STUDENT 27 CHARLES HORTON Winter Sports 3, 4; Monitor 3, 4; Basketball Manager 4. Charles served ns faithfully as basketball manager. He spent lots of his spare time hunting, fishing, and especially skiing. Here’s to easy sledding in the years to come. CATHERINE HOYE “Kay” Basketball 1. Now, let me see, the Vocational school has the most peculiar effect upon this lady, especially at one, just beyond North Hall. Nice strolling, eh, Kay? RAYMOND JOHNSON “Red” Grind Committee 4: Halloween Stunt 4; Capt. Fairbanks Division 4; Baseball I, 2, 3, 4; Captain 4: Nominating Committee 4; Honor Student 1; Halloween Stunt Committee 4. Red is just crazy about bright colors, as you can witness by looking at his bright topnot. The girls think it is a sign of danger but Claudia has found out it isn’t. Wherever we are in the future, if we hear a peculiar, loud laugh, we will know he is in the vicinity. BEATRICE LABLANC “Bea” Basketball 1. 2; Soccer 1. 2; Archery 1. 2; Monitor 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Class Stunt Member 1, 2, 3; Will Committee 4. What few' comments we have to make on Beatrice are short and sweet. The number of words that Beatrice can say in so short a time is proof that shorthand is no longer necessary. FLOSSIE LYNAUGH Flossie is a very brilliant girl. She also is a fine student in our school. We can not understand why the friendship of Rose is important in her life. Where Rose is you will see Flossie. Good luck. GRACE MARSHALL Orchestra 1, 2; Basketball 1, 4; Junior Usher for Senior Class 3; Dance Orchestra 2; Monitor 1, 2; Glee Club 2. 3. 4; Social Committee 3; Dance Committee 4; Baseball 2; ‘‘When Troubadours Sang” L. Grace is dignified and reserved, but somehow the other sex is reserved also. Dancing Friday nights at the Sunset Ballroom is the attraction of the week for Grace.

THE ACADEMY STUDENT 29 CELIA MONTGOMERY Basketball 1, 2, 3; Soccer 1,2; Baseball 3, 4. We would like to know wbo the object of Celia’s affection is at the Grange meeting which she attends regularly. Of one thing we are sure — Celia no longer has to turn her heart toward California. HAROLD MURPHY Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Halloween Stunt 1, 2. 3; Glee Club President 4; Monitor 2; Class Treasurer 4; “When Troubadours Sang 1; Senior Nominating Committee 4; Senior Financial Committee 4; Tennis 4. Again the Irish come to the front in this dapper little tennis star. We sincerely hope that his tennis ability along with his bookkeeping technique will enable him to establish himself as an expert in these lines. BESSIE PARKER “When Troubadours Sang” 1; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Volley Ball 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Soccer 1; Monitor 1, 2, 3; Gift Committee 4; Secretary of Class 2; Junior Usher for Senior Class 3; Honor Student 1. Bessie has been a very popular young lady and we hope her popularity prevails when she seeks a position in the business world. We have appreciated her talent in many lines and she has always been a good sport. CLAYTON PARKER “Clayt” Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, 5; President 5; Baseball 2, 3, 4. 5; Halloween Stunt Committee 1, 2, 4; Halloween Stunt 1, 2, 4, 5; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Division Captain 4. 5; Monitor 1, 2, 3; Basketball 3, 4, 5; Captain 5; Football 3, 4, 5; Captain 5; Class Treasurer 3; Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Track 4; Band 3, 4; President 4; Harvard Book Prize 3; Dance Committee 3; Senior Marshal 3; Assistant Stage Manager 3, 4, 5; Reception Committee 1, 2, 4.
