, we My 2 Dt-V' if wHo's WHo IN THE CAST I OHN ROBERT WEST After graduation under the Lost and Found column, per- haps these two items will appear. Lost: Gone from St. Mary's corridors, sometime in lune, a basketball player par excellence, a capable manager of the basketball team and an all around good fellow. Found: What Hollywood is looking for a new face with talent. This one is as handsome as Gable, Taylor and Power, all in one. As Van Dyke Van Horn in the senior class production of l'l..ittle limmie lones, he gained valuable experi- ence which set him well on the road to fame. Ever since Westie portrayed the jealous fiance, he has become a ro- mantic Romeo on the stage of life. For some unaccountable CPD reason he has changed his attitude toward the fair sex and de- lights in the pursuit of une fille aux cheveux rouge-s. CATHERINE BERNADETTE STEIMER Our Columbia Broadcasting System with a continual line of chatter helps to keep us well informed on the latest bit of news. lt is not necessary, however, for her to confine her ad- vertising to speech, for with her exceptional artistic talent she is perfectly capable of wielding a brush as well as the palate. As art-editor of the 'lPer Annos Betty displayed in her work that individuality about which she was ever raving in the role of Pickles Prescott in the senior play. Naturally a spirited per- son Betty is game for anything whether it be a set of tennis or badminton, a long hike or a session of lusty cheering at a basket- ball or football game. lf Betty were not such an all around good sport with a tendency to ignore our l'kidding we might not have the audacity to guote with apologies to Goldsmith: ln arguing too, our Betty owns her skill, For e'en though vanquished she can argue still. PHILIP LEO FOOTE How to describe Leo his habitually good-humored face, his infectious laugh, his ready wit, and his quickness at repartee? Leo is one of the most talented pupils ever produced by Saint Mary's, for in addition to playing the piano with evident super- iority, he has organized and directed a swing orchestra and written and orchestrated two melodies that show considerable composing ability. While his classmates appreciate his music, they have sometimes threatened to quiet him forcibly when he manifests his love of music by beating out on the desks and floor or by whistling his current favorite. We are confident that Leo will be successful on any stage of life he has all the requirements for success: talent, a sense of humor, initiative, and the ability to keep and make friends. t12t

Evidently a reader of Dale Carnegie's I-low To Win Friends And Influence People, Irene has used her knowledge of the art of winning friends to such an extent that her classmates acclaim her a true St. Maryite and a valuable addition to the class. Irene has two hobbiesff talking and badminton. The former gave reality to her interpretation of the role of Gabby Garfield in the senior play and made her a success in the verbal give'and-take of class debates, while the latter has led her to devote every spare moment to knocking about the feathered shuttlecock. up Lf A 1 Li!!! f I IOSEPH CHARLES HASKELL If you are looking for a chairman for a debate, a pompous papa for a play or a good trombonist for an orchestra, foe is your man. Ever present at all the school activities he is one of the first to volunteer for any difficult task, but he is not another messenger to Garcia. In his first years of high school he was a strong guard on the football squad, but chasing the pigskin proved too much for his delicate frame, so he turned his interests to blowing out 'thot solos on the trombone. Some day, in the not too distant future, we might find loe as Lawyer Blow making dramatic pleas to the jury for his clients. PATRICIA EMMA VORMWALD As unpredictable as the weather, Patty is very feminine in her contradictory nature. lust as we have decided that she is the dreamer-type, she upsets our decision by leading the cheering section with vim and vigor that shakes the gymnasium. When we have reformed our opinion-ethat she is the sporty type -M she adopts a new pose such as she did in the senior play, in which she was the alluring Gladys Glamour, rolling her eyes with skill that spoke of long practice. After seeing her in this part, we find it difficult to reconcile ourselves to the fact that she is self-admittedly domestic. What a puzzle! But this much we know for certain that she is one of the friendliest and one 1 of the most popular girls ever to graduate from Saint Mary's. I Afljbdl A 4 11 L W l 4 cf MJ

,WH O iS. -Wa O..S1U.H.ErC.A ST f IOHN JOSEPH MORRIS Not so many months ago, lohnny joined us at Saint Mary's. His presence was a happy addition to our class. Johnny helped to fill the depleted ranks of Saint Mary's grid- iron squadron, and later in the year aided the senior basketball team in attaining intramural victories. Wherever lohn has trod, he has left pleasant memories in his wake. Although he has been happy at Saint Mary's, he has one regret that he left the big town of Scott. There he would have been valedictorian or salutatorian of his class, as there were only two members. Now that we have learned to know him, his ever-blushing counte' nance is a welcome sight, and his nonchalance and carefree strut make him really unigue. I .Llf tw. MARY ELIZABETH LINEI-IAN ' 1 And bid the cheek be ready with a blush. Mary, our typical redheaded Irish colleen whole-heartedlyfollows this admo- nition of Shakespeare. But in Mary's case the blush does not typify a shrinking violet, for no sodality meeting, no basket or football game or any social gathering is complete without her presence. Although Mary enjoys a gay time she is conscien- tious, and for the past year she has ably filled the post ot assistant librarian. After her performance in the senior play we thought surely Mary would seek a career on the stage, but she tells us that she prefers to be a woman in white. WARD WINSLOW FULLER We like your silence It the more shows off your wonder. Thus has Wardie shown us his wonders during his high school career. Since his entrance into high school, 'lWhip, as he is known to his friends, has proved his popularity by hold- ing for three consecutive years the class office of president. In addition to his class room activities he has proved himself to be a valuable asset on both the basketball and baseball teams. Now that he has completed his high school career Wardie is ready to step into a new career, that of a modern business man. lf he continues to fulfill the words of Shakespeare, he is sure to go far. 413t 'Iwi Gw7?g4V.y47f7 l
