AS WE KNOW THEM . JOSEPHABBEY One of the quietest, but most well-liked boys is blond, blue- eyed, non-chalant Joe Abbey. He likes being with a crowd and surprises all by his devilish nature. Joe's stamp album tells a tale of its own. His hours of work on it are not bemoaned, for it's fun for Joe. His accuracy with figures was promptly discovered when he was elected class treasurer, and we, more or less, looked forward to his weekly call for class dues. It's being noiscd about that Uncle Sam has put in his bid for Joe. He's getting a fine, all round chap. Good luck ole' pal. LOIS AMBS Busy as a bee, charming as a queen--tall and slender--friendly yet business-like. All this denotes no one else but Lois AllllJS. Report card marks high, many loyal friends, this blue-eyed brunette will be very happy in her chosen vocation, for she always finishes every- thing she undertakes, and crowns her achievements with success. My hat's off to you Lois Ambs! There will never be another you.', Rosemary Kittelton BETTY BOONE At one glance everyone recognizes attractive Betty Boone. Her friendliness and cordiality have made her lll0St popular with her classmates. She stands about 5'5 , has gray eyes and beautiful blond wavy hair. Collecting records and bowling occupy most of her free time. Her interest in photography, topped off with her ease, grace and fondness for dancing are proof that whatever she under- takes is done well. Frank Czyrw '43 MARGARET BRESNAHAN Bubbling with care-free adventure and enthusiastic interest in all sports, Margaret would be desolate with-out the basketball and roller-skating in which she excels. Though very quiet and unas- suming, her sincerity, ready cooperation and athletic ability are rec- ognized and appreciated by us, her classmates. Dark haired, start- lingly clear blue eyes ..... a typical American girl. Mag, you will be in our memory always. Charlene Trollman '43 ROBERT BROWN They all call him Speck',-a tall, lanky lad with mischievious blue eyes, reddish brown hair and freckles which gained for him his tell-tale nickname. His slow, easy, friendly manner makes him a favorite among his classmates and his sportmanship classes him as a regular fellow . Speck is an old timer at ball playing, and his athletic ability has been praiseworthy. A natural athlete, he has had a regular berth on the basketball team and has contributed his share in bringing home the bacon . Alys Currier Page fifty 'SEVEN
