U31 WILLIAM C. GRANT ROBERT HUEY GREEN, JR. Bill B b We don't dare to say anything too damaging about our editor-in-chief. However his activity list speaks for him: class vice-president. his second and third years: freshman dance com- mittee: Hi-Y, Meteorological, Latin, l'ep, and Spanish clubs: class basket- ball, football manager, and Rotary representative. And in case you ll2lV0ll.t been told, that deep throated darky in the junior play was none other than versatile Bill. VERA GREEN CL Vera has been successful as well as outstanding in attaining her goal of a. superior scholastic standing. She has been a member of the Science. Latin, English, Home Economics, and Robin Hood clubs, and has also served as class historian and as one of the senior editors on the Hardscrabble staff. She is a lover of the out-door activities, preferring golf in her leisure time. ARENCE GRIFFIN crm Clarence will probably bc, in the near future, one of our outstanding dairy farmers. Although he was not a mem- ber ol' .any of the varsity teams, he was a strong rooter for all of them. Gritf is at likeable sort of a fellow, who, through his pleasant. smile, has become a favorite with many. He was a Hard- scrabhle solicitor and a member of the Science and Commercial clubs. AGNES HARCHARIK VI 0 Robert, you of agile mind, silvery tongue, and facile pen, though basket- ball and football, clubs. and commit- tees claimed your attention, they did so without noticeably affecting your high scholastic average. To-wit: All- Staters second and third years: varsity football: Dramatics, Latin, and Span- ish clubs, brilliant historian of the junior class, rather nervous Rotary representative, and illustrious member of the Hardscrabhle staff. LEONARD GREENFIELD Tokie Wcll if something does go wrong and Leonard isn't rated Elo, he carries a brow-beaten expression for days. As Father Time tears up calendar pads, we expect wonderful results from Leonard. He aided the class on the Junior Prom committee and the basketball team. 'I'he Latin, French, and Meteorological clubs also claimed his attention. Leonard was chosen Rotary representa- tive his senior year. GEORGIA HALL Georgia has not been with us during the past semester. Seemingly preferring housekeeping rather than the finishing of her high school career, she entered the rcalms of matrimony several months ago. 4' X L,,.. RGINIA ANNE HARCHARIK 'CT' JA nAggien Aggie is a jolly sort of a person. always ready to join in the fun. yet she docsn't neglect hcr work, a fact proved by her excellent grades. Agnes belonged to the Commerical club. and was awarded first prize in a shorthand contest her junior year. She works dili- gently as a Hardscrabble typist. She was also active in sports, bein! 8 member of the G. A. A. for two years. CK S. HART uaudu What a welcome thing his sunny smile isl What a reward it has paid him in friends. The girls, too. demand Bud's attention. and along with his duties as president of the Hi-Y, vice-president of the Dramatics club, and manager of the football team. he seems to have been able to save a little time for them. ARTHUR L. HATZER oscrappy., Brother Joe could probably give the best reason as to why Art is called Scrappy. Perhaps in honor of his excellent Spencerian hand, Art was made secretary of the Dramatics club his senior year. In off hours he enter- tains himself tand everyone clsel with his exquisite piano playing and Elmo Tanner whistling. MAIZIE HEINZ It is hard to believe that Maivic is a transfer from Milford High School so integral a part has she become of our class. Class dance. Junior Prom com- mittee, Science club, G. A. A., basket- ball, and soccer teams were a few of her outstanding extra-curricular activities. For an ingication of Mazie's character. one need nly point to the number of her friends. Jinks Interested in cvcrything and interesting to everyone. .links has carried her en- thusiasm into thc Commercial. Latin. Home Economics. and Music clubs, as well as thc baseball team and the G. A. A. The most amazing thing Vir- ginia knows of her sister Ag:-Zim-'s devotion to those darn textbooks. JEANNE PATRICIA HART Jeanne was an obvious choice as the outstanding girl athIcte, for she cm- braced every one ot' the many oppor- tunities Miss Weinstein otfers: fi. A. A., baseball, basketball, soccer, telegraphie meet, volleyball, and archery. Jeanne was a member of the Hartlscrabblc staff, and the Latin. and Science clubs. Anyone in thc class who has not known Jeanne has let one of the worth-while advantages of our high school ycars slip by. ELIZABETH HEFFNER Elizabeth was a sunny message from Berkeley. California, joining us her senior year. Her cxccllcnt scholarship and her interesting personality have made us wish that she had come much sooner. Shc joined the Dramatios and Tri-Hi-Y organizations this year. RUTH ELIZABETH HELAN DER Ruthie Musical. linguistic. and literary, Ruth was a member of thc Latin and French clubs. the Hardscrabble staff, and the Mixed Glee club. She is a voracious reader with a particularly Gargantuan appetite for joke books. Among Ruth's laurels were the First place in tho be- ginning type contest and the secretary- ship of the National Honor society.
