E MADARA 25 WILLIAM KAKARA WILLIAM KEATING Bill Bill JO lt took some earnest sleuthinpr to find the real facts about Ilill. but here they are. Surprise one climbing more and higher eurbings in bigger and faster motor-cycles is not his only aspiration! Ile has a dilettantt-'s taste for dra- matics, music. and literature. but his destiny will probably be shaped by the camel's hair brush. However. we do not. know whether to watch the comic supplement or the Louvre for our tal- ented elassmate's creations. E KM ETZ .loe is a uuiet lad who is very brilliant in his studies. His favorite study in his senior year was chemistry, so he joined the Science club and was an active member of that orizanization. Joe also served on the class dance eonnnittee durini.: his senior year. EDWARD KOLLAR nEdvv With a great interest in science Ed has been a faithful member of Science clubs. His outstanding: ability in dra- lnatics was shown in the Junior play in which he had a leading part. He was a member of the Honor Society and was our business manager of the 1936 fiardserabble. Silent, dark. and handsome. 'Tis rumored there's a sweet little thimr over in Pontiac who awaits visits from our Bill. Bill has been basketball man- ager the last two years. Remember Hill on the All-Staters? IRVIN KOENIG nAxlen Axle is full of fun and popular wit h everyone. He was on the Junior Prom committee and was active and Meteorological clubs. in the H He played i-Y on the class basketball team his fresh- man year and was manager' of varsity football team his senior Year. IRENE KOOI the Irene has been a member of the Latin and Home Economics clubs. With the superb freshness of the Dutch Flower Girl in her fiower-like complexion and scintillating expression, Irene's blue eyes, glancing: up. seem to challenge, Is there one fairer than I? , OMA A. KRAMER AMER WARREN KREIER Pete Amos JO Unfortunately the musical organiza- tions are limited to five: the Music club, band, Girls' tllee. Mixed Glee and orchestra. 'l'he enthusiasm with which Oma has entered each of these makes us think she would join more were the number indefinite. Pete and her asso- ciates seldom know a dull moment. HN OREN KUHN Deacon Who'll carry on the F. I . A. after Oren's gone? ls that new coupe a result of the rise in potatoes? I7eacon's eager mind and vociferous recitations will be missed next year. but destiny can spare America's future most: sci- enti As all has l'l'SS She and ble fic farmer no Ionizer. HELEN P. LVONS a member of the Junior Prom and the class dance committees. Helen played a yzenerous part in the sue- of our important social events. was also a member of the Latin French clubs. and the Hardscrab- staff. Where will Helen do her dreaming: when she no longer has any study halls? LIONEL MACMILLAN Debator, machinist, musician. radio expert, and scientist, Lionel has a wide field from which to choose his future occupation, but our guess is that his musical talent will prevail. He has been a member of the band. the orches- tra, and the Music club. Given any instrument and five seconds to adapt himself to it, Lionel will set feet a-dancing: and heads a-bobbing. Amos has been a regular member of the Boys' and Mixed Glen clubs his last two years. and was a member of thi. Science club his first year. His outside activities, so he claims, consist of four black eyos. a bump on the fore- head, and a broken arni. More power fn you, Amos, EDWARD LARKIN Ml J0 Edward tl.ord t'lit-sterlit-lull Larkin came from Oak t'Iitl' lliuh School in Dallas, 'l't-xas. in IEISZIL llis history in school centers around the track and varsity football teams, the Junior Prom committee, and the Dramaties and Latin clubs. His history on Main Street centers around several successful business enterprises in printing. adver- tising. and automobiles. LDRED EDITH MACKEY tiMiIi1 Wisdom appreciated at exam time.

She was a member of the .lunior Prom committee and the French club. Her tireless efforts as co-editor of the Hardscrabble have larpsely been respon- sible for its success. AN PARCHER With payety aml frivolity her pass- words, .lean has ,rained the distinc- tion of proinyr through high school with- out one serious thought. She has been a member of the Home Economies and the 'l'ri-Hi-Y elub, the soccer team. and was elected State representative to the Home Economics association. Although she already has a prodigious number of handsome scalps on her belt, the hcartlcss litte huntress will soon be lookim: for new fields of conquest. ALLISON M.

After school hours we hear he does a great deal of wood- choppinxz. Norman is well known to all by his fine showing: in athletics.
