Some say that what the navy gained the choir lost when George Terzis left. Irving Thompson really thrilled his classmates with what he knewl Yes, l do mean classmates of the fairer sex. A good way to learn English was relayed to me. lt's said that Bill Turlds big booming voice scared most of the women teachers. Clt says here in small printl: .Attention all eligibles! Here's a good catch for any man-Delores Turtenwald, beauty plus brains! Impossible! Query: How does the choir go on when it loses people like Charlene Vance? D. Shadid E. Steiger H. Stetter Di Strong W. Stuettgen B. Sweet E. Syclow G. Terzis I, Thompson W, Turk D. Turtenwald C. Vance l hear her singing yet-but don't let me get emotional. l was just remembering Dorothy Shadid. A bouquet of flowers goes to Dean Smith for the fine Work he did on the gym team and basketball team. A few more flowers go for his having the bug 4 the jitterbug. Exclusive! Another little poem comes to this reporter tthis time about Elaine Steigerl: Elaine had a little star Emplanted on her cheek And everywhere that Elaine went The boys said - Gee, what's that for?

The activity of Victor Nelson must have been confined to arguing with his lawyer friends. Now he seems to be joining with Iohn Greer. Portrait of the valedictorian, Frank New- comb: A letter sweater calling, Football Tickets! The only thing that stopped Frank was the end of the season. Your reporter wishes to send a bouquet of flow- ers to Bob O'Keefe for the fine job he did in representing us on the Victory Council. Bob also served as assistant to Mr. Carlson. Flash! The reason you didn't hear much of Arthur Pavletich was his quiet, ostentatious manner. All fresh- men will find the meaning of ostentatious on page 629 of Webster's Dictionary. Now do you get it? Exclusive! Parry Paras took cooking in her senior year. This seemed to be a wise act for a girl like Parry. You can't fool your old Wallie West Side on a million dollar smile. Have you seen Doris Petersen's? Forcast! I predict that some day when you see a famous painting by Peggy Peterson you will be proud to say, l knew her while at West. ! V. Nelson F. Newcomb B. O'Keefe D. Petersen P. Peterson R. Pfeifle D. Phillips E. Homoser M. Rust M. Schmalzer F. Seltzer I. Seybold l7 1 Outstanding! Bay Pfefile has a name hard to pronounce, a record on the grid- iron hard to top, and a personality hard to beat! Like the gas Don Phillips is super. Who said that? Betty lane Beidy seemed to be the right neighbor for Eddie. -T-4. Because of war- time restrictions we are not allowed to include information in connection with another name. Heres news from the theatre front: Elizabeth Bomoser is al- ways prompt, but she needs prompting. Marion Bust seems to be allergic to what girls called their men of iron. You perhaps know that Walter Schmalzer's answers are usually quick! But then l've been told his second or third guess is usually closer. Bulletin! lt seems that Merle Seiy has taken a liking to large figures for a long time P- arithmetic fig- ures, geometric figures, etc. One moment out for an advertisement-Remember! One of the fizz kids, Florence Seltzer. Now to resume and continue. Conover take note! loyce Seybold is truly a girl with a big personality.
