SC ARLET and GRAY GRA CE ADELSPERGER Grace has disproved the theory that a bad temper and red hair go together by making many friends in her work as editor of the newspaper and in her other school activities. JOSEPH BECHTEL We know that Joe is not a slacker because he has taken some of the stiffest courses our high school offers. He is noted for making terse remarks, espec- ially in Chemistry class. JUNE BREITIGAM June has, besides looks, one of the best personalities in our school, and a business ability that has been a great help to the Senior Class. We no longer be- lieve the saying that beauty and brains do not fl X r-. 1 S x v CARLTGN COLE Charlie, doomed from the be- ginning to be the hero of our class, has made his name by achievement in basketball and dramatics. A drop of 'ink may make a million think. -BYRON enior Class - Thirteen - GERALD BAUGHMAN Gerald has shown his executive ability as editor of our annual. His motto for things in general and girl friends in particular seems to be, Variety is the spice of life. MARY ELLEN BRIGHT Perhaps Mary Ellen is famous for her I. Q. but that is by no means the extent of her personal assets. She is one of those people who have very few enemies. KENNETH CASTEEL Diminutive Kenny has given to our football team a player of great speed and stamina. Pos- sessed of a rare sense of justice, he has caused this account to be changed a bit. MARK COLE Mo was one of our best foot- ball and basketball players and always did his best, even when Wharton was involved. He has a very innocent smile which helps to conceal his mischievous nature.

1940 VANLUE Class istory In the fall of 1928 forty-two anxious pupils entered the first grade. The first eight years of our school life seem rather dull and uneventful to us now, but we were always busy and had many good times. Our past four years have, indeed, been happy and memorable ones. When we were Freshmen, our sponsor was Miss Ruth Dicus. There were thirty-two of us then, and we elected the following officers: Graydon Risner, presidentg Grace Adelsperger, vice president, Betty Dean, secretary-treasurerg Fred Roberts, class reporter. We were initiated at a high school party in October. We enjoyed this welcoming and shall always remember it. The next fall we took a step upward and became Sophomores still guided by the advice of Miss Dicus. Our number had dropped to twenty-nine members. We elected the following officers: Fred Roberts, presidentg Gerald Baughman, vice president, Betty Shull, secretary-treasurerg Janet Miller, class reporter. Our next step upward placed us in the role of Juniors. There were twenty- seven of us with Miss Ethel Baum as sponsor. The following officers were elected: Carlton Cole, president, John Wise, vice president, Betty Shull, secretary, Margaret Sausser, treasurerg Mary Miller, class reporter. The big event was our Junior play, When a Woman Decides, which was given in November. We also served a chicken supper. In May we gave a banquet for the Class of 1939. l We have now reached the top step in this part of our education, we are Seniors and regret the thought of not returning next fall. There are twenty-five of us who have finished. Mr. Hinkle has been our advisor and we thank him heartily for his interest and advice. The officers elected this year are as follows: Fred Roberts, president, Gerald Baughman, vice president, Betty Shull, secretaryg Margaret Sausser, treasurer, Mary Ellen Bright, class reporter. ' ' This year has been one full of events and activities. In May we presented our class play, The Pennington Case. We were guests of the Junior Class at a banquet in April, and we served several dinners throughout the year. Members of our class have been active in sports, music, F. F. A., F. H. A., newspaper work, scholarship honors, and this year each of us has contributed toward the annual which we published with the aid of Miss Ketzenberger and Mr. Hinkle. We thank all those who have made it possible for us to mark off another mile- stone in our journey through life, one for which we have heartily and gladly worked for twelve years. 1 We are now ready to take another step forward. We shall leave the protecting portals of this school and venture on. but we feel that, with the advantages of a good education, we can go forward and attain the goals and perform the duties which lie before us.
