ROBERT HEPS General 236 Edgewood Avenue Slide Rule C lub (2. 3. President 4); Academic Committee (2. 3); Banner Committee (4). Bob. president of the Slide Rule Club, is a very bashful bov. This pink-cheeked lad has an unexpected attitude toward girls. We wonder what it is—he certainly has a tollow-me-lass look in his eye! Bob is very much interested in the Indian Forest development, for which his father is architect. JANET HIGH College Preparatory 524 Highland Avenue Palin Club (2. 3, Secretary 4); Spanish Club (3); Glee Club (2. 3); Band (3. 4): Mask and Mime (2); Catalyst (4); Holiday Plays (2. 3): Lancelot and Elaine (4). No matter whether it's 40 above or 20 below, as long as there's ice. you'll find Janet skating. Janet has been the only one to have the honor of rebuking Percy Grainger about thumping on the piano. We assure you she was very young! Her smile and hearty laugh are very contagious, despite any gloomy circumstances. Belonging to that group of seniors old enough to drive, Janet is often seen whizzing around town in her station wagon. EDWARD HILL College Preparatory 302 Harrison Avenue Aviation Club (2, Secretary-Treasurer 3); Slide Rule Club (4); Civic Committee (3): Senior Play Committee (4); Football (2. 3. 4): Track (2. 3, W4). This blond young track and football man has recently cultivated a taste for loud socks and ties. His secret ambition is to become an engineer and build big bridges and skyscrapers. Ed spends much of his time at the V” as secretary-treasurer of one club and a member of several others. ELIZABETH HILL General 641 Maple Street Library Council (3, 4); Annual (4). Elizabeth's long periods of illness have made us know her less well than we should have liked. She is never talkative in class, but we hear she can he almost a tomboy at home although she has the very feminine gifts of sewing and knitting especially well. JEANNE HILL College Preparatory 503 Carleton Road German Evening (3. 4); French Club (2. 3. 4»; Glee Club (3, 4); Forum (4); Catalyst (4); Annual (4); Senior Play (4); Hockey (3). This hardened Arctic explorer of the chemistry class, although quiet, is very versatile. Fond of hiking, dancing, reading and charlotte russes, she has something to do at all times.

President); Band (2, 3. 4); Literary (2. 4); Annual (4); Executive (3); Finance (2); Holiday Plavs; Senior Play (4); Baseball (2. 3. W4). Tall. dark, and handsome, he captivates the women with his thoughtful, studious, and manly air. “Ollie has accomplished all that is a high school boy's aim: he keeps the A’s and tii girls rolling in. and he also toots a “mean” horn. JANICE HAVILAND College Preparatory 710 Lawrence Avenue Spanish Club (3, 4); G’ce Club (2, 4); Annual (4); Senior Day (4); Senior Play (4). Janice, one of the school's famous twins, holds the world’s record for the largest and widest run in silk stockings. John is always around to brighten up the lulls with her hearty “hellos” and her ever-present grin. She made an impressive monarch on Senior Day and was a.so “beautiful soup.” BETTY HAVILAND College Preparatory 710 Lawrence Avenue Pin and Ring Committee (2); Soccer (4); Basketball (3); Senior Day Program (4); Senior Play Committee (4); Annual (4); Spanish Club (3, 4). The Senior Class’s voting Betty the class bluffer seems to suggest the best way to describe this half of the Havi-lauds. Betty’s idea of worthy use of leisure time seems to be to recuperate on Miss Swift’s couch, but this is only during school hours. So far, no hidden talents have been discovered in the “handsome duke,” but there’s still hope. MILDRED HECKEL Commercial Summit Road Glee Club (2). Mil,” who is a very quiet girl, is disinclined to hurry. Whenever we see her, she is leisurely walking through the hall, a picture of unruffled calm. Quickness of mind characterizes this good sport and loyal friend so well liked by her chums. ARTHUR HENSEL College Preparatory 938 Ripley Avenue Art is the blond-haired boy who may he seen pushing his hike while delivering papers around Westfie.d and Picton. especially Picton. It seems as though he has a special interest in the latter place. Art and his pal, “Steve Brodie” McIntyre, may he seen on any Saturday night calmly sitting in the Kit . viewing with pleasure the antics of Cab Calloway or. perhaps, the doings of “The Bride of Frankenstein.” 28 ►-

CORNELIA HOFFMAN General 592 Terrace Place “Toadie got her original nickname when she was “knee-high-to-a-grass-hopper and too fat to walk. However, we are glad to see that she has gradually thinned out. Toad’s sense of humor has brightened many a dull day in these gloomy portals. So it was with deep sympathy that we bade her adieu on April first. KATHARINE HOFFMAN General 532 Lenox Avenue Spanish Club (3, 4); Mask and Mime Club (2. 3 4): Civic Committee (4); Candy Committee Senior Play (4); Annual (4); Class Athletic Committee (2). “Mucky is our best authority for misinformation. W ith news hot off the press, she’s at her best. Her curiosity does the rest. Seriously her many lovely clothes are the envy of tl?e girls in the Senior Class.
