Everyone likes Marion, for she has proved herself a very willing worker, and is ready at all times to lend a helping hand. Perhaps we know her best as the capable editor of the Literary Department of the Senior. Indeed, breathes there one who has not chuckled at the subtle humor that pops” up in her writing and conversation? — WHS — Natale E. Trebisacci Chorus 1, 2. 3, 4. Glee Club 1, 2. Soccer 2, 3, 4 Cantata 2, 3. Nat,” that comical fellow who makrs us laugh in English class, might well rival Touchstone in his clever remarks.

She has, however, one failing—a fanat ical love of playing practical jokes! Fortunately, this does not cost her any of her friends, for this popu lar young lady is always surround ed by a laughing group of girls. — WHS — Katherine V. Sullivan Gym and Gown Com. Senior Play 4 Varieties 4. Cap 4. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Although Katherine is one of the more reserved members of our class, she does not carry this trait upon the stage, as was proved by her rollicking portrayal of Audrey in As You Like It. Her thor oughness and originality both in class and on committees have certainly been appreciated. illivan 0 VQ . — WHS — Parks Roe Tool in Track 4. Senior Play 4. Chi-m istrv Team 3. Parks, that studious Titian-headed boy from Wood River, be tieves in work before play. Even the cold atmosphere at the June tion seems not to affect his warm smile. Parks, by the way, was a worthy member of the Chemistry Team which, for the first time, brought the cup to W. H. S. 'f J. — WHS — John W. Trontales Coming to W. H. S. from Norwich, John has been with us for only one year. During this short time, however, he has been a real asset to W. H. S. and won many friends. His efficiency in the busi ness department is particularly ad mirable. Like him in Aesop, he whipped his horses withal and put his shoulder to the wheel.” — WHS — Annetta R. Van Bramer Chorus 4. Cantata 4. Usher at Varieties 4. Usher at Senior Play 4. “Nctta” entered our class in October, 1933, and considering the short time she has been with us, has proved a most loyal friend. That she is mistress of the art of dancing can be justified by her splendid performance for the Lions Club. )]L 29 fr-

A. 2, 3, 4 Cheerful and friendly in manner. Rose has gained a host of friends. Moreover, many who do not know her so intimately admire her talent in cutting graceful figures on the ice.

May is the kind of girl who is always willing to help others, and the cheerfulness with which she does it has made her a joy to all who know her. “Smithy's” patience and perseverance should be useful to her in Home Economics, the course she intends to study at Hampton Institute, Virginia. -«s( 28 £►-
