with the triumphant announcement, “I made it.” Not infrequently he attends detention. His hobbies are sleeping, play-ing ping-pong, and enjoying the chairs in the drug store. The tall, likable chap with the straw colored hair is a favorite of everyone in the school. You may have seen him in the very thick of a football scrimmage in the fall or running around the track in the spring. HOWARD NUDI) is a regular fellow. Although he is the smallest member of our class, GEORGE PACK contributes to our group with his ping-pong and French ability. George is a whiz at tennis, his favorite game, and was elected captain of the team this year. A turned up nose and deep, sparkling brown eyes characterize FLORENCE PARKER. Formerly known as a tomboy, Flo is a leader in girls’ athletics and obtains top-notch grades. We like her for her frankness; we know her to be a true and sincere friend and a sweet little girl with a great big smile. We all can remember one day last fall when the sad news came that we were to lose our Hi-Y president and track captain, GUY PETERSON. It. was a pleasant surprise to hear that Guy was coming back—and in time for track, too. If this tall dark fellow keeps up his track record, he will certainly become a star. LAURA LEE PFENING has been one of our attractive cheerleaders for two years, and has otherwise engaged herself in various activities throughout the school. Twisting her slender fingers through her curls, flitting through the halls, or being extremely busy with one thing or another, Jerry is a familiar picture. Behind DOR PITTON'S quiet demeanor lies an active mind which is busy following a wide variety of subjects. Although we know him best for his football and track activities, his interest outside school centers on building model airplanes. He is also intensely interested in all things musical. The proud owner of a thirty-two Ford and a much-pursued girl is HOB REED. He expects to enter veterinary medicine at State next year, although we wouldn’t blame him for joining the army. Bob tackles hard and deadly on the gridiron, as he does in every conquest. A Tyrone Taylor profile, a distinctive walk, and a muscular physique make him a man-of-the-world now, but we remember the days when he was a bashful, blushing boy. Serious minded DOUGLAS REID is something of a traveler. After attending four different high schools in as many years, he arrived in Arlington about the middle of this year. Behind his quiet manner lies a keen intellect and a sense of humor. PATRICIA ROBBINS’ determined air. and her constructive ideas for change have earned her the reputation of a reformer. A diligent student, she has gained the respect of her teachers and her friends. Pat’s varied tastes include her love of movies, politics, and chocolate ice cream. MARTHA ROSENCRANS seems to have been busy ever since she came to Arlington. “Mart” takes part in practically all activities. She especially likes sports such as basketball, riding, tennis, and swimming. Just watch Martha at any basketball game and you can tell when her brother is sent in. She is good-humored, and universally well-liked. We can’t imagine Arlington without her now. ED SAMPSON works hard at whatever he does, but the quality that makes him outstanding is his ability to be a good-natured target for everyone’s puns. Ed proudly holds a position on the basketball team, and although he doesn’t always play, he enters the game with as much enthusiasm as any of the other players. He intends to enter Cornell in the fall. We hope that Ed. with his dark good looks and ready laugh, continues there his scholastic and athletic prowess. M RGE SANBORN has earned the reputation of being our happy-go-lucky girl during her twelve years at Arlington. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Toni” never seems to fret very long about her troubles. Thus we can chalk up a cheery and popular personality to her credit along with her athletic emblems and Hi-Y pin. LANA SANOR, better known as Billie”, is the cute young miss whose coiffures are the envy of all the girls. An accomplished equestrienne, Billie has taken ribbons to prove it. Scholarly and sweet, she belies the old adage, beautiful but dumb. Always willing to lend a helping hand, PETE SAYERS eagerly accepts all tasks with his well-known infectious smile. He enjoys debating with all his teachers on problems that puzzle hi intellect. Pete possesses an enviable record in sports in which his greatest achievement was the captaincy of the football team. His sports career was brilliantly climaxed by a berth on the Greater Columbus All Star Football Team which was in Florida during Christmas vacation. He is most often seen with a group of girls, which he jokingly calls his harem. Food is his hobby; no buttermilk is safe within six blocks of him. JOHN SCHMIDT has an indomitable cheerful spirit. Although he broke his leg at the beginning of track season, he can be remembered for his pole vaulting and high hurdling. His slow anil easygoing ways are envied by those of us who rush madly around hither and thither. The song. Asleep in the Deep”, will ever remind us of John’s Bu88o Prof undo. B. H.

to her business associates as she does to her present schoolmates, she will be a whiz in the business world. Accomplished in every sport, VIRGINIA HUN-SICK ER presents an athletic figure around the school. A good sport herself, she is lots of fun. Athletics, however, is not Ginnie’s only accomplishment. She quite often graces the art room with her presence. MARY LOUISE HUTCHINSON has attended Arlington for twelve years and in these twelve years she has managed to become involved in all matters and affairs pertaining to the music department. We know Mary Louise to be reserved and friendly. She is interested in dress designing and will probably study it in college. HOB IVES is a genial blond who is best described as always smiling, always busy, always lost. He is also quite a poet, as he will tell you himself. On the side, Bob finds time to write, paint, and indulge in athletics. The women seem to like him regardless of the fact that he may or may not wear crutches. This lad has risen from freshman obscurity to senior recognition and popularity. BUI) JAEGER is trying to live down the reputation of being a business man. This reputation was created by his many original ideas, such as bus trips and newspapers. If you aren't careful, however, he will sell you your own hat. The originator of the present photography fad around school, he has a large following of boys who. at the drop of a handkerchief, will pose for him real purty”. Photography is a hobby which seems to have turned into more or less of a business for this boy. MARILYN JOHNSON is known throughout the village for her irrepressible soprano voice. Nothing can dampen her adventurous enthusiasm, which delights and amuses her countless cronies. She absolutely will not accept T. L.’s on her head of luxurious black hair, found every Saturday bending over the church mimeograph. Impulsive, affectionate, spontaneous, Jonnee” has for a long time been first in the hearts of her classmates. AMY LEONARD’S three main hobbies are dining, dancing and dates; she has no trouble keeping up with all of them. Amy’s keen sense of humor enables her to pun more often on the spur of the moment than any other girl we know. Operatic solos, swimming pools and midshipmen please her. Seeking attainment, NANCY MARTIN has a definite philosophy of life, which she seems to be fol- lowing very well. Her many talents, her conscientiousness, and diligence have made Nancy successful in her undertakings, and have developed for her a forceful personality. PAULINE McNEAL, to a stranger, would seem to be a graceful and reserved queen accidentally placed in a classroom. Knowing her better, however, one finds she has an endless supply of wit which presents itself at dull moments to entertain her companions. Too, Pauline’s deep contralto voice is pleasant to hear. We made no mistake in electing REED MCCLELLAND Senior Class president, for his sound judgment excels all. This lanky lad is always well-dressed and neat. Reed’s voice is deep, and his tone is serious. Although he is rather set in his ways— especially on the subject of automobiles—he is a general good fellow and a friend to all. CAROLYN M ERR I MAN is one of the few Grecian Blondes” left. Very good-natured, she is ever ready to try something new. Carolyn likes all sports, and competes in them successfully. One of Arlington's feminine Robinhoods, she is the lone Arlington entrant in archery contests. She has many hobbies, tops among them being drawing and corresponding with students from foreign lands. TED .MILLER is the fellow with the low distinctive laugh. His first name is really Theodore, and from this have sprung his two nicknames, Ted and Thede”. He spends much of his time getting his Latin; however, he seems to enjoy it. Ted is prominent in sports, and was a loyal member of the football and golf teams. Ted’s friendliness and sense of humor have made him very popular with the boys. El) MINOR, a jitterbug of the first water, never tires at dances. He craves excitement and swing music, particularly Artie Shaw’s. He is often seen cruising around the village in his bright blue model A. Black wavy hair, all sorts of men’s jewelry, and leather craft characterize this man-about-town. KENNETH MORGAN is one of the big men of our class, both physically and otherwise. His high voice doesn’t seem to go with his large frame. Ken is a member of the golf team and tennis team and likes all sports. He is noted for his friendliness and sincerity. As one of our smooth cheerleaders, M RY Ml L-HOLLAND. by her good looks and liveliness, has made a definite contribution to the school. Intelligent, stubborn, witty, she gets much fun out of life. College students, clothes, and music of any variety are especially to her liking. BOB NADALIN’S hair takes up so much room that it seems hardly possible for him to carry the added weight of brain material; yet he breezes through his studies and still has time to spend deciphering his handwriting and delving into the unknown regions of chemistry. At 8:210- and at 12:29 2 there usually occur each day loud commotions in the hall. This is followed, just as the tardy bell rings, by PAUL NASH’S breathless entrance into the school room Page Twenty-one

ite gesture was running his hand through his hair to keep it out of his eyes. His unhurried attitude, his deliberate actions and his devil-may-care manner belie his ability to entertain his companions with spontaneous witticisms. Slugger Sellers plays a mean game of basketball. Although she creates a quiet, dignified first impression, with her friends JANE SHANNON is the life of the party. A confirmed swing fan. she is happiest when dancing to a good band. She loves to tease by telling tall stories as the absolute truth. Her pouting lower lip and baby complexion give her an innocent air. Were she that kind of a girl, SUSAN STOLTZ might easily boast of the foreign countries which have been the scenes of her exciting and romantic-travels. College, records, and journalism occupy her thoughts when not busy with plans for her numerous activities. Horses, Hawaiian music and Gary Cooper are to her liking. This year North High sent us pert ANNETTE STOl'T. Art seems to be one of her leading interests, although we often see her with a Spanish book under her arm. Annette has a fondness for gardenias, for collecting souvenirs from restaurants, and for a certain radio program entitled Moon River.” She especially disapproves of people who frown or who have superiority complexes. A stranger might be slightly shocked to see JANE TAYLOR come walking down the street. There is nothing about her jolly manner or startling blue eyes that is strange, but we can’t say the same about her walk. With her feet slightly turned out, she trudges merrily along in what can better be called a paddle.” The distance she is covering is probably either from the drug store to school or vice versa. Since the first grade HELENE TEFFT has been the apple of the eye of almost every male member of our class, to say nothing of last year’s graduates. Behind her reserved manner lies her boisterous and fun-loving individuality. Accomplished as an athlete, sincere in her friendship, she is definitely an outstanding senior. Although a newcomer to Arlington, JEAN WARNER. who hails from Ithaca. New York, has made a place for herself in the hearts of her classmates. She holds the enviable position of being the sole feminine member of the second-hour physics class. Such luck! Jean yearns to prepare at Cornell for a journalistic career. Lots of success, Jean. Practical and straightforward, VIRGINIA N EST is one of the most dependable girls in our class. Each morning she is the guiding genius of the Little Cicero Class” conducted in Mr. Davis’ room. No one can say that Virginia is not doing her part in seeing that all the boys pass their Cicero. To Virginia fell the difficult task of rounding up the ping-pong tournament entrants. We are sure that we would have given it up as a hopeless job—but not Virginia! Vice-President of the Senior Class, JACK WILCE is the tallest and lankiest boy in the school. He seems to be following in his father’s athletic footsteps. Besides playing center and being co-captain of the basketball team, he played football and high-jumped for the track team. Freckles, a very wide grin, and a nice mop of brown hair characterize this jovial fellow. TOMMY WILSON, who served as class president for our first two high school years, has acquired various and sundry nicknames, the most famous of which is Squi. Maestro Wilson, of the Scotch Highlanders, is a favorite kid brother in our class plays. Perhaps it is his carefree happiness interspersed with serious Hashes which makes him a typically American High School Boy. Hers is a different personality. Although Rl'TH WINDERS has a few radical ideas, we like her for her quick wit and ability to cut capers in the most depressing moments. Dark and petite, Ruth is one of Arlington’s prettiest femmes. Besides being an ace basketball player and cocaptain of our team TOM WUICHET is brilliant and popular. He has always led the class in a scholastic way. which has resulted in his being named valedictorian. A confident manner enables Tom to get whatever he goes after. The favorite of his teachers, Woosh will undoubtedly go far. The class treasurer. Eddie, is one of Arlington's well-known Casanovas. His broad, happy smile and vital amiability make his a pleasing personality. When he is not playing football, basketball, or golf, he is talking about them. Both amusing and confusing. ED ZARTMAN has given us many enjoyable memories. The names of all characters and places referred to are purely fictitious and resemblance to any living person is coincidental. Page Twenty-three
