Pitsir, as you have heard him called, is full of pep, vim, and vigor. Watch him play basketball if you don't believe it.

JOHN SKIBA Audcnried has produced another Romeo. This time john is selected for that title because of his antics with freshmen girls. Believe it or not, he's a boy who enjoys studying and can talk more quantitively than most Women. HAROLD E. SMITH CLUBS: Booster lg Press 2, 3, 4. SCHOOL: We Ha Staff fReporterJ. Smitty's cowboy manifestations with his guitar have won him the name of The Sybertsville Croonerf' He is a game kid but was it his love of hunting alone that prompted the Press Club to give him that deer ? MARGARET J. SMITH CLUBS! Booster lg Nature 2: Press 3, 4. The world is so full of a number of things that interest Margy that no one of them can get much attention. But as Chance would have it, she does concentrate on other things besides schoolwork. Mechanics, driving, and football heroes draw the lucky cards. THOMAS J. STAPLES CLUBS: Dramatic 1, 2: Modern Language 3. W'henever Tommy finds time to be such a good chemis- try ancl French student, we don't know. Besides fooling with the girls, he's an ace stage manager and dispenser of refresh- ments. Perhaps when solving that, we might stumble upon the truth about that 'lshinerf' JOSEPH S.

Pete is just as good-natured and cheerful as he is large, and he's our man-mountain. Can we attribute his lack of enthusiasm in classes and his occassional burst of song in halls to his Love in Bloomv? SUE SUPER CLUBs: Booster 1: Girl Reserves 1: Personnel 2: Debating 3, 4: Modern Language 4. Sue certainly has the gift of gab Cask any teacherj. But don't be misled-her school record reveals that she knows how to apply this talent wisely. Her interest in sewing clothes indicates that perhaps we have a future modiste among us. ARLENE ANNE SWINESBURG CLUBS: Glee Ig Commercial 2: Press 3, 45 Girl Reserves 1, 2, 3, 4. CLASS: Arcana Staff fTypistJ SCHOOL! We Ha Staif. We have yet to see the day when Arlene will attempt something and then not excel in it, whether it be in school or extra-curricular activities.

A fine chap, by George! ALBERT F. YENCHICK CLUBS! Science 1, 2g Press 3, 4. Anyone except Albert would certainly be kept busy just keeping an account of all the money he has out in the class-but to him its just some practical commercial training. His noon-hour excursions are also an asset to him-or to students. This boy's liberal! LOIS MARIE YOST CLUBS: Commercial 2 fPres.J, Press 3, 4, Girl Reserves 4. Dody's usually busy.
