Above all Betty is a true friend and we love her for that. - was - Arlene Rose Anderson We all like Arlene and would greatly miss her cheery chatter and good nature.

Myrtle's sweet smile and quiet gentleness win her much deep and real friendship. She is willing to help wherever help is needed. Myrtle's hair certainly does not de- termine her disposition, and actions speak louder than words.

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 Isabelle Barr Prize Speaking 4. Varieties 4. Senior Board 4. Interclass Basket- ball 4. UA perfect teacher, nobly planned, Isabelle's fine powers of understand ing and sympathy are attributes, suf- ficient in themselves, capable ot making her a real leader. Thou hast a voice whose sound is like the seag Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free, - wHs - Eleanor Berado Concert 2. This young lady, with her sunny smile, would lighten any dull office. To hear her silvery laughter awak- ens the heart of the listener and breaks all those dragging chains of black and gloom. With all her gay- ety she has ideas of her own which are not easily changed. A shining voice that rang Like stars dropped in a glass. - wus - Waldo Bishop Senior Play 4. Behold the illustrious Sir Ben- jamin Backbite of the world-re- nowned School for Scandal.

Life is but a span, I'll every inch enjoy. -..agif 2 1 Marguerite Beebe Concert 2, 3, 4. Variety Show 2. First prize, Prize Speaking 4. How would we ever get through the dull hours of classes if we didn't have Peg's lilting laughter to break the monotony now and then?

And if I give you honor due, Mirth, I admit, is part of you. - wHs - Joseph Bianchi Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Joe, the great detective of our class, possesses, nevertheless, all the qualities which constitute a good friend.
