) I “In Leading Roles” THOMAS JOHN LINDER— Football, basketball, and baseball vied for top honors on Tom’s list of extra curricular activities. He also studied and appeared on the honor roll. This clean-cut Senior was the class president in our last and most crucial year of school. He played in our band and could really “beat it out” on the piano in the school dance band. Tom is a swell fellow to have present at any time. ROGER ALMON WELLS — Roger was one of those persons who was always right there when he was needed. A popular hand member, he participated in all musical activities including the operettas. He was vice- president of both the Senior and Junior class, which fact speaks well for him. The Sturgensian Sales Staff, Junior Play, intra¬ murals, and baseball comprised the bulk of school activities for this leader of the DeMolay. CLYDE DEVERE BELL—Clyde is one of the finest athletes that ever attended our high school. His spectacular abilities won him a position on the all-confer¬ ence football squad. He also played forward on the basketball squad for two years. He was elected secretary of the Senior Class and was a very popular member of the Varsity Club. His quick wit won him a spot in the hearts of all his class-mates. MORTIMER EUGENE WRIGHT—“Mort” is one of those natural athletes, but he didn’t get to show his “stuff” until his Senior year. He was halfback on the football squad and guard on the court team. As our class treasurer, he did a superb job with our finances. At the Varsity Club initiation, he proved his willingness and abil¬ ity to get along with his fellow men. We hear that Michigan State comes next for this popular young man. JAMES PHILLIP McKEAN— “Phil” came to us from Muske¬ gon Heights and he wouldn’t let us forget it. He immediately went out for football and basketball and became a very successful and valuable player, earning himself a berth in the Varsity Club. In the Junior play, as George McIntyre, Phil displayed an unusual flair for acting. He served on the Student Council for two years and gained a reputation as a true companion and friend. CLEON MAYNARD NELSON -fee there any game from pool to football, philosophical bull session, or a plan for beating the system, “Bud” was always ready to take part. His ever¬ present grin won him the position of Student Union Representative and the chairmanship of a J-Hop committee. He starred in all school activities and we soon learned that “Bud” was a good man to have around if we wanted something done. 12
