Sen iors GEORGE PENNEBAKER Looking for l'enny ? NVell, if you don't find him at the tennis courts, look in Mr. IlilT's office or in the library, for, when he is not wielding a wicked racket, he is working on debates or orations. He was second only to Percy Dolan in the tennis tournaments, won the de- bates on the industrial question, and was a good and eth- eient secretary of the XVranglers' Club. In fact, anything that George does is done well. A good fellow! Proud to know him, you'll say. ARDROE PERRY MOD Ardroe is very fortunate in possessing a combination of character and eharmg and. for this reason, we predict all sorts of good things for her. Among ineidentals. she's one of our best readers and received a prize in her fourth year English class for the best reading of a poem. As to Ardie's future, well, we bet she has her hope chest started ..... that's all we know. AYNE POOL Jumbo is the most noted for being a very prominent Camp Fire Girl, and as she is a good sport, and always smiling, she must be a great asset to her group. She expects to take up interior decorating at college, but just where is still undecided. Ardroc says she's always hunt' ing trouble and teasing people, but she is very business- like when she is in class. DNVIGHT POTTER 'tBoots has a weird imagination, as all know who have read any of his stories-especially the one about me, my friend, an' me dog. llc is a member of the Admin- istrative Committee ot the lfonor Scholarship Society, and of the Research Committee of the Science Club, and plays baseball. Although he is working to become a structural engineer, he is getting his hand in now by engineering his affections. ELEANOR POWELL Z HEN GOL Ellie's hair! It's just simply too marvelous to be real, and yet it is-just as real as Ellie', herself. She has 'a wonderful brain, ton, as she is completing high school in three years, and of course belongs to the llonor Scholarship Society. Ain't it Grand n' Glorious , she is continually raving, and she is happy as a lark when- ever she can sing and dance to her heart's content. RY PRESTON Henry Preston is a perfect old man, or, to be more exact, he was one in the senior play. Pres is an :Xl commercial student, has good dramatic ability, and is one of Stockton High's good all-round students. DIE RISK NVc poor shorties feel as though wc're going to get aero- plane neck when we converse with her-she looms so high above us! It was a pretty risky thing for Risky to ride bareback on a wild 'n woolly horse, and she surely can put the ball right into the basket in basket ball. Risky kind 0' thinks she'll twirl a wicked pencil as someborly's steno. We take no risk, judging by her sehool record, in recommending her to prospective employers. 27

sf Seniors HUB ERT lXllNAHEN How cl' ya like walkin', '1linnie'? Uh, huh! That's what he got for speeding. But we wonder if his thirty- day walk cured his mania for speed. Vile shake our heads in the negative. But lN'finnie' is a good student even if he does like a good time. A grade of 2 or above in everything put 'him in the Honor Societyg and he's going to take a P, G. course with us next year. LORRAIN E M O RAN lllauy have been the times we have seen lgnatz go dashing around on horseback. She is one of the few H. S. students who indulge in this delightful pastime, and, take it from her, It surely is fun! just think, the medical profession will soon claim l1cr,becausc she's going to be a real M. D. Skeezix is possessed of a peculiar dry wit that makes everyone who knows her feel glad whenever it pops out . HOLLIS MORRIS lfollis Morris is well liked by every one. Besides being a good sport, Holly is an Al student. VVhen l1e was younger he used to be the wittiest and most mischievous little boy imaginableg but certain influences. educational and otherwise, have made him, aside from his wit, quite a dignihed young man. .fn a little while we shall know Holly as a successful business man. ALBERT MURRAY Albert Murray is the little boy with the big voice, Hill is best known for his quickness of action and mind. One proof of his quick action is that he won second place in the cross country run this year. It is doubtful whether shy little Al will follow dad's example and be a school superintendent or-? Al is very systematic. and what- ever he decides to do he will be sure to do well. W JOSEPHINE OREN i f Josephine Oren is the little fairy who keeps Mr. loms' olliee in apple pie order. All Jo's friends like her for her sweet and quiet disposition. She is always very neat about her appearance and her work. Jo has been a good student from start to finish. After she leaves school, she will spend her entire time in keeping some ofnce as efficiently as she has kept the night school oHice. HOXWA RD PA RKER Behold our silvery tongued oratorl For the past year he has been a member of Miss M. U. Howell's ublic speaking class and has become quite famous in pljaying upon and interpreting emotions. Although he is rather a shy and quiet looking boy, his friends know that he is far from this description, for he is quite entertaining and just loves to go to dances. ROBERT PATTERSON Bob is musically inclined! Not much need to say that. as every one knows it. file began 'rooting a trombone when he first started to school, and has been a musician ever since. llis hobby is playing at dances, and at every school party he has taken tne sliding part. Ile is also fond of making speeches. is a great favorite with the boys, and his popularity runs in all directions.
