SENIOR BIOGRAPI-IIES LOIS DAMON--This blue-eyed, blond-haired miss took her first breath of fresh air in the liendallville Hospital, August 7, 1930. It must have taken some thought, for the name given to her was Freda Lois Marie Damon. She has spent eleven years at Wawakag her eight grade was spent in New York. What a phobia she has for math! She was elected one of the yell team this year and has made a good one. She must enjoy milking the bossy at home because milk is her favorite food. She, like everyone, has other favorites. Some are: typing and health classes, collecting pictures, softball and ice-skating, Frimls' Indian Love Call, and many others. She aspires to make her fiance an excellent wife beginning this coming August. DORIS DONLEY--Ye Annual editor was born in Lowell, Michigan, to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Donley on july 29, 1930. She was their first child and was named Doris Lucille. It was not until her sixth grade that she came to Wawaka to live. Very noticeable has been her personal neatness, always neat note-books and penmanship, and subtle hurnor. All the better is that since she aspires to be a good medical secretary after taking some college training. Her pet peeve is to have someone telling jokes when she is trying to study. Pamphlet col- lecting is her hobby. Her favorite active sport is watching basketball games. Stardust and Civilization are choice tunes for Doris. If you ever have a meal that includes potato salad and hot rolls, why not invite Doris overg she likes them, too. Currently, she is editor of the The Whoop and in that role has been struggling to think up new items of interest. MARION FRANKS--Marion jones Franks opened his big blue eyes in the liendallville Hospital, May 27, 1930. His schooling started in the fall of 1936 and ended twelve years later in the same school at Wawaka. Except for a few serious moments he is glibly talkative. His is a slow moving, turtle-like walk. His hobby is tinkering with radios and gasoline motors, either fix or finish! His ambition in life is to work on the railroad and never be broke. If you are missing a cherry pie that has been set out to cool, Marion might be the guilty one-- he loves 'em. His favorite pastime is going to Albion for some known reason. There must be a girl around there, no? 'Twixt visits he has this year been student manager. MERRILL FRICK --Back on August 10, 1930, in the Kenrlallville Hospital, Ward 4, Bed 8, Mr. and Mrs. Harry D, Frick became the parents of another black haired boy whom they named Merrill Blosser.

SENIOR BIOGRAP HIES -C ontinued are four years of high school basketball, including play in as many sectional tournaments. Nice, juicy steaks no doubt give him extra energy. His ambition is to get into the same business as his father--feed and coal--, but he hopes also to own a string of feed mills. First he expects to attend college for a year or two learning some more business angles. His hobbies, which can be easily understood, are hauling coal, feed, and fertilizer. His favorite classes include economics, algebra, and bookkeeping. He claims the latter as a favorite even though he suggests his bookkeeping teacher as his pet peeve. Louise in song or person is music to his ears. Keeping Merrill busy is the best way to keep him out of mischief, for he finds it hard to be idle. JAMES FULFORD--If in the future you ever hear the nalne of a Mr. Fulford as foreman of Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Company, that will be our jim. james Soloman Fulford was born on April 8, 1930, in the big city of Wawaka. He has both started and finished his education at Wawaka. And now, his goal is an advanced position with the company just east of here, on Road 6. Proud is Wawaka that jim won the good sportsmanship award at the 4-Team Invitational Tourney at Ligonier this january. He has been one of the outstanding basketball players this year and last, in the county. His six foot three inches and broad shoulders give him an outstanding athletic prowess that he handles adeptly. Parking out on the ice with a fish pole and water-soaked bait provides jirn with more thrills. Disgusting it is for someone to say, How is every little thing? Small wonder then that he chooses to hear Too Fat Polka. Oh, yes, jim has been an able president of the Senior class this year, too. ' DONALD GANGWER--Another twelve yearer at Wawaka School is Donald Gangwer. This baby of the family was born May Zl, 1930, onthe shores of Diamond Lake. This summer he hopes to work at the Mogul Rubber Corp., Goshen, and then turn to farming. His favorite hobbies are reading Western tales and fishing. Anyone would like fishing if they lived as close to a lake as he does. If Bob Hope and Judy Conova are playing at the Local you will probably see him there. Don gives others real competition i.n the lively games of ping pong around school. '
