SENIOR BIOGRAPHIES -C ontinued JOSEPHINE GApp1NGER-:.l Never a hair out of p1ace it seems. That's the way Josephine Louise Gappinger appears to her fellow classmates. Jody, who is perhaps the peppiest of Senior girl quintet, doesn't agree with that idea, but others probably look at her more than she does herself. Her present home was her birth site on March 26, 1930. How- ever, she attended Elkhart schools for her first seven years of schooling. After graduating she hopes to beginnurses' training and then be a good nurse. Hope she doesn't tell her patients that they're going to die, for Jody is usually out with what she thinks. Baked potatoes and baked beans would make a warm spot inJody's heart for you if you'd just serve them to her. Civilization, Robert Mitchum, and Greer Garson are her favorites in the entertaimnent world. Choice car? ..... They all seem to drive Fords ! ROBERT HANEY--On a cold Decernber 18, 1928, the stork landed at the Haney family, two miles north of Wolf Lake. Robert spent his first two years of school at Wolf Lake, then four years at Merriam, and finally ended up at Wawaka for the last six years. He likes to collect stamps, go fishing, and see Roy Rogers and Judy Canova on the screen. His pet peeve is getting up in the morning. fTry getting up in the afternoon, Bobl! His ambition is to be a mechanic, probably for the practical purpose of keeping his Model A running. He and Donald Gangwer are a challenge to each other in the ping pong room. ARLENE JOHNSON--Beulah Arlene Johnson, Red to all that know her, came into this world just in time to go to bed. The blessed event took place April 10, 1930, at 10:30 p. m. She started to school at North Elkhart with Mrs. Audrey Stauff as her first teacher. After 6 years there she came to Wawaka for the last six. Others telling their troubles annoys her, so, i.f you have any, tell them to someone else. Not too often does Arlene display the much talked of red-headed ternperment. She enjoys seeing basketball gamesjskating, collecting pictures of movie stars, bookkeeping class, and sending for articles. Her favorite song is I Wonder. After graduation she expects to work and then go to college. Her arnbition is to make good as a medical secretary. EDWARD MAWHORTER--About 4 a. m., March 22, 1930, a little blue-eyed boy made his appearance in Elkhart Township. He was given the name of Edward Evans Mawhorter, but all his classmates call him Ed or Eddie. He, too, has had all twelve years of schooling at Wawaka. He likes to divide his time among working math problems, driving a car, and playing basketball. If you have Ed to dinner sometirne feed him yellow wax beans, they're his favorite. After graduation he expects to farm and continue schooling. His pet peeve is
