Dorothy Cameron Catalyst Club (Secretary 4b Glee Club (2. 3. 4); Cheer Leader (4); Soccer (3, 1); G. A. C. (I); Volley Ball (Man- ager 3). Dot is one of the best-looking senior girls and her striking features arc the envy of many. She is known by her cheery greeting for everyone and her personality is “smooth ' Beach Haven, her home in summer, and Westfield will truly he the losers when Dot journeys to California. Morris Carroll El Atcneo (3); Hi’s Eye (News Editor 3» I): Academic Com- mittee (3); Senior Day Pro- gram (4); Swimming (2, 3. Wl). Morris's enforced vacation won him everybody's sympathy. However, Morris dove into school activities with a big splash on his return. He even became the most enthusiastic member of the creative writing group to which he did not be- long and championed the idea of a box social. Josephine Car are] Id Hard work always gains its re- ward, and at the end of every month Jo reaps a rich harvest of AV , I he familiar quota Lion. “Success begins in a fel- low's mind, it‘s all in the state of mind,” seems to apply to her. If you want any typing done, just give it to Jo, for she knows how to make a type- writer perform. William Collins Bill, who is quite a lady’s man, makes one of his extra-curricu- lar activities instructing a fas- cinating Deutsches Maedchen in English. Although he pro- fesses considerable interest in literature, we know he has a scientific mind, for he prefaces every remark with that inquir- ing phrase “How come?” His sartorial splendor dazzles us, for his garb presents a sym phony of harmonious hues. He is very meticulous about blue slips in 101. Harold Carlton El Atcneo (2, 3): Mask and Mime (3. 4); Senior Play Cast (4): Finance (4); Easict Play (4). Our young Clark” Romeo has made a name for himself as an extremely versatile actor. His greatest success was his part in the Senior Play: his most re cent characterization was Slov- skv, a flower shop proprietor. His interests are not entirelv confined to acting—that de- pends on the cast. Betty C omm ell Library Council (2, 3): Latin Chib (2): Forum (3); Ger- man Evening (2, 3, 4): Sen tor Play 4). When there’s a whoop from some obscure, or not so ob- scure corner, Connell” is sure to be there. She's the enlight- ened soul who makes her Eng- lish class tense with expectation as to something to howl at when she recites. Sweet Briar will gain this tall, striking, blue-eyed blonde this fall. 20

Margaret Browne French Club (2. 3); Latin Chib (2. 3); Mask and Mime (2): Academic (4); Annual (4): Soccer (2). “Micky isn't with ns much. Most of her Lime is spent either in actually being at Le- high or else thinking about it. She loves a good time and has no particular yen for educa- tion. She measures her time In the arrivals of the mail man. Dorm a Lou Butcher Literary Club 3. President I) Collectors’ Chib (4); Latin (2, Treasurer 3); Prom (3); Finance (4). From the regularity of her Iowa State and Cornell cor- respondence, we'd conclude that our Senior Day snake-charmer had charmed some college men. We don't have to guess, t hough, that even while Boo-Boo drives her own Pontiac, she pie fers a sportv red and green Ford and its owner. Carlyle Bncksird German Evening 2, 3); Foot- ball (2, 3); Athletic Com. (2). '“Buck’’ is shv. tall, and hand- some. and has that subtle power which draws the girls, but lie tails to reciprocate their atten- tions.. Buck 's “ chief extra- curricular activity is driving around town in his car. He is very good company, being a good talker among friends. Gwendolyn Byrd Spanish Club (2); Basketball (2): Hockey (2): Soccer (4). Gwendolyn is another of out versatile Seniors, She's active In hockey, basketball and is n past master in the art of trucking. She's a good sport and can take a joke as well as give one. Gwen hopes to major in lan- guages and all signs point to her future success. Frances Burrill Typing Club (4); Annual Typ- ist (I). Typing seems to be the Favorite early morning occupation for Frances. We wonder whether it’s just the typewriter that calls. Rather quiet, she has never told us much about her siav in sun-kissed California. We are very sure she's going to make an excellent private secretary tor sonic hard-work- ing business man. and Like others she may marry her boss and Jive happily ever after. Dorothy Call ah an Senior Play Committee (4); Civic Committee (-1). Dorothv is one of our liule“ girls with an extremely non- chalant air she reserves fm school, but once outside the impressive portals. “Life is just a bowl of cherries for her. Her main enjoyment seems to he ska I i tig. though she frankly admits that her secret ambition is to ride a horse. We hope there’ll be no unhappy land- ings when she rides, 19

Kenneth Corne]] We have in our midst a man of great genius, by name. Ken CornelJ. He has delved! into the depths of chemistry, minerals, astronomy, and radio. Radio is his present hobby with which he has talked to many parts of the world including Australia, the hardest to get. Great man. Ren! Leslie Cross Collectors' Club (3): Spanish Club (I): Latin Club (2); Weather Vane ( I): Swimming (4). One of tnose merry Morris dancers of Senior Day fame, Leslie showed that he had con- siderable energy of a sort al- though his fellow seniors were mean enough to term him lazy . Leslies aesthetic sense is quite marked and occasional- ly he turns out a neat little quatrain for the “Weather Vane. Mary Co win Latin Club (2): Mask and Mime Club (3, 1); Senior Play Candy Committee ( I), We herald Mary as the wittiest, .She keeps all classes alive with her clever remarks and witti- cisms. hut she has her serious moments. A member of the famous Ryan. Hely. Cowin Trio, Man keeps things mov- ing. Although she made a beautiful man on Senior Day. we all know her as her own splendid self. Anne Cruikshank French Club (2, 3, I); Latin Club (2, 3): Forum (2, 3, ! Anne’s only regret in leaving Westfield for Texas was that she would miss Senior Day. However, the prospect of n warmer climate and much horseback riding helped to compensate for this and from all reports slue is enjoying her- self immensely. Anne’s giggle and red hair are missed espe- cially by Ted who seemed lost for a time. Incidentally, the Cruikshank dog did not leave with her. Betty Crook German Evening (3, I): Red Cross (2): French Club (3, I); Library Council (2): Sen- ior Play (-1); Academic Com- mittee (4). What did you say, Tippy?’’ was Betty’s favorite line in her characterization of the poetess in the Senior Play. But don't let those dreamy blue eves fool you: she knows all the answers. She says her main interests arc outside of Westfield, but her excellent marks scan to deny that statement. ■Jeannette Ciibberley G. A. C. ('2, 3, President T|. Soccer 2, 3, I): Baseball (2. 3, 1); Cheer Leader (I): Spanish Club (I); French Club (2. 3). Jimis main interest seems to he athletics as is shown by her presidency of the G. A C, and the fact that she expects to continue in this line after cob lege, but we have heard that her heart lies at Pcddie Prep. We've also heard rumors of her interest in an athlete at Westfield High. 21
