NORMAN YOUNG Happy am I from care Vm free, JJ ' hy aren ' t they all eoiiteiitcd like me? Xorman. that very distin- guished looking ' young man is full of .surprises. A certaii. blonde and his playing- on the sridiron were two examples. He is uncertain about his future luit we wish him success ir. whatever he attempts. Football 3. 4. WILLI A.M ZAISKR Bashfithiess is more fre- cjiieiitly coimeeted Ti ' V i aooci sense than zeith ozrrassuraiiee. Aithouffh Bill is seemin;?- iy quiet and unaesumintr. hi.- friends as well as his eng ag--- ing- .- mile attest the fact that li. is a ver lilveable g:entlem-in. Kver willing- to lend a help- ing hand he is noted foi- his chauffeuring. From the assort- ment of cars which Bill has parked in the S. H. S. itudent parking space, we know he is to be an automobile aealer. JOHN ZUMAS Cans ' t thou thunder with a z ' oiee like him. Johnny is the big hu -ky fellow who plays football, sings bass, drives a car and boihers Billy Mitchell. He is very good natured and works after school at the local Texaco .stfi- tion.

Bob is our humorist whose dry wit enlivens any class. He heads the bachelor ' s club and though he does not trip the light fantastic he is many a girl ' s se ' cret heart beat. He is a Liuckv Teter fan. Glee Club 1, 2. W ILLIAM MITCHELL Strong reasons make strong actions. Bill did an excellent job as the wise-cracking salesman in the Senior Play. In real life he has a ready wit and plenty of enthusiasm. He excels on the dance floor and has danced his way into many a maiden ' s heart. Senior Play Cast 4; Gradua- tion Committee 4; Semaphore 1. E ELYN LaFR.VNCE Silence is more eloquoit than Zi. ' ords. Evie , small, dark, and de- cidedly cute is yuite a heart- breaker. However as in every- thing else she is very quiet about it. Vhen ever you see Evie you are sure to see Helen. Glee Club 3, 4. LORETTA LE A ' A quiet mi)id is richer than a crozm. Loretta is appreciated by her friends for her calmness and sereneness of disposition. As a freshman she was a member of the Glee Club; her senior year was occupied with the Commer- cial Club and Senior Play ush- ering. Glee Club 1; Commercial Club 4. JOHN FULLERTON Harmless mirth is the best cordial against the con- sumption of the spirit. Johnny ' s looks are very de- ceiving. One would take him to be meek and mild while in fact he is original, clever, and quite a ladies ' man. His hobby is boat-building. Perhaps it will come to something. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Page Fourteen
