N inefeen F arty-one Page Thirteen TOWNSEND WILSON As President of the Student Council, Towney has had many occasions to show his marked ability as a leader. At one time or another, he has helped many students in the school either with thoughtful advice or with an explanation of some more compli- cated rule of the Student Council. To the Senior Class, the words, Will some one second the motion? and a great deal of perseverance will always be syn- onymous with Towney,'. President of the Student Council, 4 Spark Board, 2, 3, 4 Discussion Club, 4 Soccer, 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4 BARBARA YATES Barbie,s artistic talents are well known to all, for she has exhibited much of her work in the an- nual school sculpture shows. Most of her time is spent in the studio where she produces her objets d'art. Much of the success of the tea which the Seniors gave for Miss Sharp at the Yates' home was due to Barbie's thoughtfulness. Spark Board, 3, 4 Hockey, 4 Basketball, 3, 4

Page Twelve The Spark BARBARA TODD Now the price of the 5 by 7 pictures . . . - this and other similar phrases became familiar to the Senior Class when Toddy handled the arrangements for the Senior pictures. She and her committee did a fine job in both this project and the Spark Dance. Because of her interest in child psychology she has spent much of her time in the past year observing the Nurser School. f,,8r, Spark Board, 4 ,Z 'A' !4,,,4,?

Pagv F ourlvm The Spark fZQJho's Mit and 'why l71ejy re Mat -- 1950 The Prophesy In Reverse This column is dedicated to the underdogs. Their names do not appear in Who,s Who,', so we take this opportunity to pay them a small tribute. BACKUS, ANNE . . . Miss Anne Backus is known to the public as Two-Gun Annie , Big Butch Boyd's favorite moll. Although she is not seen very often, her bright makeup, flashy clothes, and imita- tion jewels will never be forgotten. FERNOW, HOWARD . . . We have heard lately that Howard Fernow has made millions on his latest design for the Hairem- Scarem -- Never - Tearem Mousetrap Com- pany. All Howard's friends and acquaint- ances are pleased to know that he has at last found his true realm of expression in this worthy occupation. GUILLAUME, DAVID . . . Mr. David G., after attempting various occupations, has finally taken his place among the na- tion's factory workers. Mr. G. has been following the regular routine of the labor- ers of this country, and he believes, as they do, that a materialistic and non-creative ex- istence should be led by all. HODGIN, ANDORA . . . 'lHefty Hod- ginf' nee Andora Hodgin, is again com- peting in the Western New York Heavy- weight Boxing Championships. Hefty's boisterous voice, crude mannerisms, and excessive brawn, together with her complete lack of femininity, represent a rather drastic picture of the modern woman athlete. KELLY, EDWARD . . . Mr. Kelly, a most generous patron of the Buffalo Phil- harmonic Orchestra and other musical as- sociations, is greatly worried about the in- creasing popularity of the obnoxious, vul- gar, jazz styles. Mr. Kelly, who believes that the cultured minority should rule and regulate the Arts, detests popular polls and desires their removal. KLAUSSEN, PETER HOOKER . . . Great strides have been taken by Peter Klaussen in the field of marble and granite. His outstanding technique and delicacy in fine carving have earned him a reputation as the world's finest carver. He is sought after by thousands, and in answer to their desperate calls, he may daily be seen blithely carving names on Forest Lawn tombstones. KRANZ, PETER . . . Mr. Kranz was recently elected President of the Anti-Wolf League, which is composed of the shyer, more timid men of our society. President Kranz is an outstanding representative of this organization because of his conserva- tiveness and reserved dignity, most gracious- ly displayed in the presence of young ladies. LANDSBERGER, EVA . . . Because of Eva's stormy disposition and incorrigible temper, it has been said fand on good au- thorityj that she is one Shrew who will never be tamed. She has often been known to throw fits as well as her husband when her ears were strained by sweet melodious notes. MOE, CARLTON . . . By great good fortune our reporter was able to gain ad- mittance to the hidden sanctuary of Pro- fessor Carlton Moe, studious astronomer, who lives the life of a hermit. During the interview our reporter discovered that Dr. Moe left the turbulent city to seek the nec- essary contentment and solitude and to strive for a greater knowledge of his beloved heavenly bodies. Dr. Moe has no regrets about leaving human society but is content to spend the rest of his life as a hermit in his unobserved observatory. MOWAT, W. R. EAGAN . . . If you are in doubt as to what fragrance should accompany your new ensemble, consult M. Richard Mowate, who comes to us direct from Paris. He is considered our greatest connoisseur of exotic perfumes.
