How Jim loved life, and how life loved him! ERNEST MALCOLM HASTINGS Bub ' ’ The greatest admiration gives rise not to words, but to silence.” Ernest spent his spare time working, and therefore, had no time to participate in our school activities. However, the spark he added to our class was appreciated by all. WILLIAM LUTHER HASTINGS Bill” For he is merry, happy, and gay, and we’re glad he wandered our way.” Bill, a shy boy around the school, has certainly been a credit to the class. He played football his freshman year and was in the History and Art Clubs. Bill was kept conscientiously working outside of school, and therefore was not able to participate in many extracurricular activities. PAUL ORSON JANOS Nothing is more becoming in a great man than courtesy and forbearance.” Paul was a quiet member of our class whose chief interest was his main job — school work.
