Jljr Mcatlirr Vaur 23 WILHELMINA PLEISTER Of gentle soul; to human race a friend. Class Track (I. 2); Class Basketball (2); Varsity Basketball (4); Class Track Manager (4) ; Christmas Play (4): Class Day Music Committee. Still water runs deep. Tiny is always busy. She has the delightful combination of being proficient in athletics as well as in music. JOSEPH POLLACK A bold and vigorous warrior. Men stand in awe of him. Class Baseball (I. 2); Class Football (I. 2. 3. 4); Class Basketball (2. 3. 4); Glee Club (2); Pocahontas (2); H.-Y (3. 4) ; Class Swimming Team (3) ; Columbus Day Play (4); Senior Play Carpentry Committee. A fellow anyone would be glad to call friend; loyal, good-natured, happy, and dependable; his list of friends bears mute evidence of the well deserved popularity accorded him. GRACE POST Strength levels grounds. Art builds a garden there. French Frolic (2); Glee Club Committee (3); Junior Prom Committee; Weather Vane Art Editor (4); Class Shield Committee (4); Senior Play Art Committee. Chairman; Class Day Scenery Committee; Glee Club Committee (4); Springtime Committee (4). Shall we dub Grace School Artist? I think so. She has drawn and painted her way through school. I am sure I don't know what the Weather Vane will do without her. We Seniors arc proud that she belongs to us. JANET ROCKWELL Why then should not we women act alone? Or whence are men so necessary grown? Class Track (3.4); Varsity Track (3.4) ; National Track Meet (3) ; Springtime Committee (4) ; Senior Day Committee. By merely glancing at Jane's record above, you can easily see that she has established a re utation as an athlete. Aside from her athletic ability, she is a good sport and possesses a keen sense of humor.

The original woman-hater , a regular fellow and a sportsman; in athletics he was always ready when called and he came through when needed. His ready wit and good-natured sarcasm will be missed in school next year. He seldom came to school on Monday (why Monday?). MILLICENT PEARSALL Of manners gentle, of affections mild. Glee Club (I); Living Pictures (2); Class Basketball (2, 3); Senior Play Publicity Committee. Dependable, persevering, clear-thinking, and good-natured, Millicenl has won our respect as a cheerful, loyal exponent of the high standards of Westfield High School. THURLOW PELTON So many looks of young and old Are cast upon his features bold. Hello men! Jo ambles along with a greeting for everyone. We were surprised that they let him get away from Hollywood. but we’re mighty glad he's back. ELIZABETH PLEISTER With a roar she rides by on the wings of the wind —“A clever driver!

Yes. our Bill is all right.

Varsity Football (3,4); Varsity Baseball (2. 3. 4); Class Basketball (2. 3. 4); Class Track (I. 2, 3. 4) ; Senior play; Hi-Y (4). Athlete, student, and gentleman; in Gee Gee.’’ we find all the things that go to make a real man. His modest bearing in athletics only makes his record more commendable. We might sum it all up in the following: first in sports, first in studies, and first in the hearts of his fellow-students. RICHARD SAMPSON This gentleman is learned and a most rare speaker. Varsity Debate Team (2. 3, 4), Captain (3, 4); Debate Society (3. 4); Senior Play Committee; Amherst Concert Committee (3); Junior Prom Committee; Class Football (3, 4); Class Basketball (3, 4); Class Track (3, 4); Editor-in-chief of the High School News (4); Springtime (4); Class Day Dramatization Committee; Hi-Y (3.4). Dick has been called the war-horse of the Debate Club” but his activities have not been confined to debating. He is rather a solemn chap, but the twinkle in his eye often belies the dignity of his language. MORRIS SCHEFFER The strength of twenty men! Class Football (3); Senior Play Scenery Committee (4); H.-Y (3. 4). Good nature has always been an outstanding characteristic of this sleepy young man. Better late than never has always been his motto, but with all his faults we love him still. ESTELLE SCHWEITZER Now the Lord bless that sweet face of thine. Amherst Concert Committee (3) ; Springtime (4) ; Class Day Property Committee. Estelle is democratic, versatile, and friendly. The loss to the school will indeed be great when this congenial young lady graduates.
