Slippy lives in constant dread that Mr. Darby will make her translate a passage full of “Thymbrae,” “Cycladae,” and other weird names from Virgil. She always laughs with the rest of us. though.

Harold may lx- called the Sir Galahad of our class, and we think he has great possibilities of becoming a second Euclid. He has extended his intelligence into the field of tennis to the extent that he has become a star player. Our opponents lose their nerve before such a genius. He is a silent fellow, but he has the reputation of indulging in deep arguments with his superiors. JUNE ROSE ALLOWAY Dark in hair and eyes. I am.’ Entered Senior Year—Spanish Club (4). We have only one flower this year and that is a June Rose. The temperament of this Rose differs from others of her kind because she likes Raus. But other than that she has a very clinging nature which comes naturally to flowers. June is a swimmer and dancer of note. l‘A

After four years of officiating at various instruments in the orchestra and playing remarkable football, Moony is preparing to leave with the rest of the jolly seniors. He roams around school looking for a junior, whenever he is not with her. We will miss Moony’s famous toot. KARLDON (L APGAR “.I very gentle, forfait hnigltt. Senior Day (4); Class Day (4). A shy little boy with black curls and blue eyes came to high school four years ago. a boy so shy. so small, and so retiring that he made very little impression on us at first. Now he is one f the tallest of the seniors, has received very commendable marks in his studies, and has distinguished himself on the Senior Day stage. He has not thrown off his shyness as yet. but we all seem to know and like him. She flay'd a bo it HELEN BARNARD - tSk. Spanish Club (2): Art Club (3. 4); Debate Club (1. 2. 3) ; Class Committee (1. 2): Halliburton Lecture (3) ; Weather Vane Annual (4); Class Day (4). Oh Helen! How do you manage your rapid fire lingo? We confess it’s beyond us. Helen loves to spiel Spanish and make us all feel meek and lowly. We have yet to see her with a sorrowing countenance—such a thing is beyond comprehension. Some fun. eh? We hear that her advice to the lovelorn has in many cases been very helpful. BETTY BARRETT “And looking wistfully with wide blue eyes as in a fie hire.'’ Basketball (4); Soccer (4); Senior Day (4); Library Council 4) ; Aviation Club (4) ; Journalism Club (4); Class Committee (4); Class Day Play. Betty is the illustrious rear guard of the Barrett family. She startled the whole school with her unearthly wails in preparation for her part as Lady Macbeth. But she is generally quite calm and collected, except when she is sending all within hearing into hysterics with her lively wit. As a fairy queen Betty is particularly lovely. 121]
