T b e WEATHER VANE 19 3 2 DONALD CROSS College Preparntory 533 Boulevard German Club i3); Baseball (3); Junior Prom (3); Senior Banner Committee (4). If you see a tall, blond, good-looking fellow with a very serious look on his face, prowling around the halls, it’s just Don, laying plans for a new Hi-Y dance. As a man-about-town, there are few who rank higher than Don; and few are the social events not honored by his presence. BERYL CURRY College Preparatory 596 Sherwood Parkway Journalism Club (3, 4); Library Council (4); Senior Day (3); Hockey (3, 4); Senior Play Committee (3); Academic Committee (4). Beryl is the little English immigrant whose accent, both French and English, creates a big sensation in school. She is a very busy person and enjoys membership in several school clubs. She is one of the few who have the courage to talk back to Mr. Gesner. J.

Joe is one of our many village cut-ups. He claims a complete reformation, going so far as to read the Bible in chapel (no alarm clocks went off) and become an earnest member of the track team. His spirited efforts have revived the humor section of the Weather l ane from a condition of rigor mortis to its present vigorous state. WILLARD DAY College Preparatory Springfield Spanish Club (3. 4i; Slide Rule Club (3, 4); Band (3. 4); Track (4). Willard is the diminutive sportsman from Springfield, whose football team gave our second team a hard battle last year. He is a hard worker, whether on his lessons, in track, or in football.

Undoubtedly there is something that attracts her up in Plainfield on Sunday nights, hut so far we can’t find out what it is. Sunny California and other Western schools receive excellent specimens of her penmanship, hut we understand her heart belongs to Ralph, the Demon Outfielder at F. and M. DOROTHY COGAN College Preparatory 527 Clark Street Dramatic Club (3, 4); French Club (2, 3); Art Club (2. 3, 4); Senior Play (4 ; Senior Play Committee (4); Mask and Mime Play (3); Annual (4); Academic Committee (2, 3); Junior Prom Committee (3). Among the foremost beauties of the class, loved by many but loving only one, is our Dot”. Her smile is justly famous; and as the charming heroine of the Senior Play, she displayed delightful talent. Frequent references to the track trio do not Rob” her of interest in the eyes of our Romeos. WILLIAM O. COLLINS College Preparatory 126 Park Street Slide Rule Club (4). Bill”, who arrived from Springfield, Mass., this year, immediately took an important place in the Hi-Y activities. He studies hard to get into Annapolis; and though his blonde hair and blue eyes make him attractive to our girls, he spends little time on them. GEORGE COOK College Preparatory 132 St. Paul Street Athletic Council 4); Track Team 13, 4); Coif (2). Schultze” is a good skate and is always ready to give tips on exams and monthly test . George, who is a whiz” in physics and the star of Miss Pike's history class, likes to make trips, especially to Summit where the ground is covered with Moulton” lava. Twenty-seven

She is a tiny, jolly, likeable girl who seems to have a weakness for pole-vaulters. She and Charlotte B. were inseparable and how these added attractions did hook V. H. S. athletes! MARGARET DcGRAW College Preparatory 260 East Broad Street Dramatic Club 13. 4); French Club (2); Holiday Plays Committee (3, 4); Athletic Committee (4). Peg'' is the smaller half of the “Peg and combine. Her capacity for work accompanied with sprightly gossip is tremendous. Although she once wrote cleverly, Life i like a piece of toast, golden brown on one side and burnt on the other , we are sure she deserves to find it completely to her taste in the future. J.

We can see for Bryce a promising stage career. His interest in acting, scenery design, and producing, together with talent and application, assure his success. After the first wrestlings with Bryce’s name, we gave up and accepted it as bad French. BARBARA DERGE College Preparatory 751 Belvidere Avenue Spanish Club '4) ; Glee Club (2, 3. 4) ; Soccer (2, 3, 4) ; Hockey (4) ; Operetta (2) ; Thanksgiving Play (2, 3); Senior Play Ticket Captain (4).
