BLUE AND WHITE 7 Marvin Donald Iilakely “Fats” Motto: No man can ever rise above that at which he aims.

Marvin really knows how to handle the ball from the guard position on the basketball team. Everybody seems to admire him, not only because he dresses like a movie star but because he is an allround good fellow. Incidentally, we happen to know, “Fats”, that you are not nearly so quiet and well-behaved outside of school as you are inside! Much success to you. Marie Rose Bodette “Featherhead” Motto: Ever onward. Mixed Chorus 2-3-4, Girls’ Chorus 1-2-3-4, Orchestra 2-3-4, All State Orchestra 3, Christmas Concert 1-2-3-4, Stunt Night 2, Senior Play 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Blue and White Staff 3-4, Religion 1-2-3, Rifle Club 4, Prize Speaking 2, Latin Club 1, Drill Team 3-4, Patrol 1-2-3-4, Tri-School Festival 1-2-3-4, Graduation Activities 4, Cheerleading 2. Marie is one of the best natured girls in the Senior Class. We also have heard her pop quite a few corny iokes so that shows that she has a really wonderful sense of humor. We’ve heard tell that she is some sharp-shooter on the rifle range. We hope, “Featherhead”, that your road of life is as straight as the bullets that come out of that gun of yours.

Mixed Chorus 3-4, Gir'.s’ Chorus 1-2-3-4, Orchestra 2-3-4, Christmas Concert 2-3-4, Stunt Night 2, Senior Play Committee 4, Jun or Prom Committee 3, Blue and White Staff 4, Religion 1, Rifle Club 4, Basketball 4, Patrol 1-2-3, Tri-School Festival 1-2-3-4, Driving Course 3. Muriel, it has often been said, stays home only long enough to eat, and studies only once in a while. This shows you how full of energy she is.

Marlin is remembered most of all for his straight-shooting on the basketball court which helped to win many games for the past four years. He also seems to have the technique of winning friends and keeping them. Last, but not least, he seems to have quite a droll sense of humor. A fellow like you can’t help but succeed, Cooney.

s YKRGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Marguerite Irene Bradley “Rita” Motto: The riper the apple, the greener the core.

This lessens her eligibility for the males of the high school by a wide margin and we have seen some males who look really disappointed. We happen to know she is perfectly happy about it all and we want to wish you all the happiness you deserve, “Rita.” Edwin Paul Chapman “Dude” Motto: If you have money, nothing else will be lacking. Boys’ Chorus 2-3-4, Mixed Chorus 2-3-4, Christmas Concert 2-3-4, Senior Play 2-4, Class Office 1, Blue and White Statf 2-3, Magazine Campaign Manager 3, Basketball Manager 2, Baseball 1-2-3-4, Latin Club 1-2, Patrol 1, Tri-School Festival 2-3-4, Salutatorian 4. Paul is the tall, dark, and handsome boy of the Senior Class who always seems to know what’s going on. You will recognize him when you see the baseball team play. We will miss all the corny jokes and wisecracks he is noted for when he is gone. Paul is the Salutatorian of the class and worthy of the title. You can’t help succeeding, “Dude.”
