THE GARNET AND WHITE 21 Allan Smithson Industrial Scientific What should a man do hut he merry?” Radio Club III. Allan has been one of the steady workers of the class. Des- pite his seemingly quiet ways he makes a merry friend. He has the radio bug quite badly, and he has plenty of information in stock concerning radios. He is undecided as to what he will do next year, but he will certainly do the class credit in any undertaking. Harold Sylvester Scientific Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel” Orchestra I. II: Health Crusade. Ill: Science Club. I. Ill: Asst. Track Manager. III. Harold is one of the budding scientists that Mr. Prutzman is producing in his laboratory. Some day we may hear a lot of this budding scientist, who knows, but now we hear mostly from him. Harold has other fields of endeavor besides this one. and we are sure that he will make a success of whatever he decides to spccalize in. Raymond Thomas General Knowledge is power” Soccer. III. IV: Basket Ball (Squad). IV: Base Ball. IV. Boots is a quiet and industrious chap who is always at the head of his class in his studies. Many times his name has appeared on the Honor Roll, which means a lot to any student, lie believes in the theory, work while you work, and play while you play.” Raymond is undecided about next year, but we know he will choose right as he has done in many other things. Marian L. Thomson General A willing heart, a helping hand. Always read on demand. Health Crusade. I. II: Music Club. Ill: Dramatic Club. IV. Picture golden bobbed curls and laughing blue eyes, and you have a portrait of Tommy.” Everything goes right for Tommy just because she's such a jolly, carefree girl. She is always thinking of some harmless prank to play on someone just for fun. Calling people on the phone on April Fool's Day is her special hobby. So look out. Normal, when Tommy joins you!

THE GARNET AND WHITE 23 John Robert Simpson General “Happiness seems made to be shared.” Everytime wc think of “Baby Day immediately there comes into our mind's eye a picture of John, dressed in knickers, a Buster Brown collar, and. mind you, bare knees. We shall never forget the fun we had in history class with John. We can truthfully say that he is the best natured member of our class, for. no matter whether the joke was at his expense or not. he always came through with a smile. John is well-liked and we wish him the best of success. Kathryn E. Smith Classical ”Come and trip it as you go On the light, fantastic toe.” Senior Adviser IV: Treasurer Dramatic Club IV: Chess Club II. K is one of the class's best-loved girls. Her smile is en- chanting and she is a wonderful dancer. We have no doubt that she will go on charming her new associates in the same sweet way that she has captivated her class. “K“ will attend Gouchcr next year. Margaret B. Smith General ”Laugh and the world laughs with you” Orchestra I. II. IV: Health Crusade I. II: Science Club III: Dramatic Club IV: Hockey IV; Perfect Attendance I. II. III. Say, if you want the blues, don’t stay around “Peg’’ Smith: she has a line of funny things to tell you that wins the worst of pessimists. The rest of us wonder how she has kept that sunny disposition when we consider she has not missed a single day in school since she entered high school! She is going to Normal next year. William E.. Smith Commercial ”There is always work for those who will.” Captain Rainbow Division IV: Varsity Football IV: Senior Adviser IV. Bill just came into the limelight in his senior year when he went out for football. Bill could always be depended on to open up his hole in the line. Bill, although a commercial, still had lots of time to take part in the class activities, and his !’roalsmi,c as. °flcn cn seen at many of the school affairs. Bill is undecided as to what he will do after leaving school, but we wish him luck in anything he undertakes.

THE GARNET AND WHITE. 25 Miriam P. Thorne General Her air. her manners, all who saw admired. Courteous, though coy. and gentle, though retired Shrimp’ is the smallest Senior in the whole class, and we shall not forget how cute she looked on Baby Day.
