JOHN MARTIN GRANDIN Men are judged by their actions but not by their words. Johnny may seem quiet and unassuming, but beneath his charming exterior lies a little mischief.

Her pleasant and airy conversation has made her well-liked by everyone. Her flirtatious personality and her winning smile are just two of Barbs ' assets. This attentive, vivacious, red-headed cheerleader has certainly kept up the school spirit. She also enjoys many sports outside of school, such as swimming, skating, and skiing. We are sure these four years will bud out into a bright future as a secretary for Barbs. Cheerleader 4; Girls ' Intramural Club 3, 4; Spanish Club 3.

HOWARD ARTHUR HAMMOND Quiet paths are mine. Howie is not one of our loud Seniors. However, those who know him best recognize a fun-loving nature and sense of humor. Among his many interests are raising pigeons and tinkering with cars. The future is sure to hold happiness for a boy of his qualities. JOSEPHINE VIOLA HANEY She lives in peace with all mankind. I heard a laugh, I saw a crow, who did I find? No one but Jo. Friendship seems to be her companion, as she is everyone ' s pal. Making friends is easy, but keeping them is a virtue. Her pleasing nature and jovial smile are assets everyone desires. Intramural Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Romanum Forum 1, 2; Monitor 3, 4; Senior Play; Spanish Club 3, 4; Yearbook Staff 4; Willard Club 4.
