C (Vic-Pres. 4); Hockey (2, 3» 4); Soccer (2, 3, 4).

ROBERT DERCE Treasurer (2, 3, 4); Catalyst Club (3, 4); Forum (4); Basketball {2, 3, 4). The cute, diminutive Derg,” one of our mighty basketball managers, also has been a most efficient class treasurer for three years. Noted for a high academic standing and a swell disposition Bob also has his eccentricities. See Miss Bible.

FELIX Dl FRANCISCO Junior Prom (3); Slide Rule Club (4); Football (4); Basketball (2, 3, W4); Baseball (3, 4). The prowess of this diminutive but speedy athlete has been proved upon the gridiron and upon the basketball courts of the High School and Y. M. C. A.

Council (2); French Club (3); Slide Rule Club (4); Mask and Mime (4); Indoor Track (2, 3); Outdoor Track {W2, 3); Senior Play (4); Golf (4).

Frieda’s a reliable person who sticks to a job once she undertakes it. She enjoys playing the piano, especially popular music. Although she misses about three out of every five school days, her average doesn’t suffer ostensibly. twenty-one

If you want a thing done well, go to Lois. KENNETH CORNELL We have in our midst a man of great genius, by name Ken. Cornell. He has delved into the depths of chemistry, geology, astronomy, and radio. This last seems to be his major hobby. If you hear the call number W 2 JMB—that’s Ken. He goes coast- ward in the summer and amuses himself with the rhythm of Clyde McCoy all year round. IRENE COX Flay Committee (2); Annual (4); Collectors’ Club (2, 3, 4); Library Council (3); Baseball (2, 3); Hockey (3). Irene's sparkling sense of humor helps her tolerate the eternal command to speak louder.” Watching athletics, collecting scamps, and appreciating good cooking are her hobbies.

PATRICIA CUMMING Junior Prom Committee (3); Program Committee (3); French Club (2, 3, 4); Tennis (2, 3, 4); Hockey (3); Soccer (3); Baseball (3). Pat, an excellent tennis player from whom wc expect great things, is an artist as well as a sportswoman. A lover of bridge, movie heroes (Fredric March is tops”) and Benny Goodman's Orchestra is she. ROBERT CURRIER Swimming Team {2, 3, 4); Orchestra {2, 3, 4), Always an original thinker, Bob can hold his own in the classroom, for he has the courage to defend his views. He also has the courage to swim in icy brooks. Bink,” as he is called by his intimates, has a rare appreciation and love of music. LEWELLYN CURTIS French Club (3, Pres. 4); German Evening (3); Orchestra (2, 3, 4). Mere hard work means nothing to Lew. Whether he's on a hike, studying his lessons, presiding at French Club, or occupying the concert master’s chair in the orchestra, he is always slaving and enjoying it. His enthusiasm for music knows no bounds. twenty

Dughi, who knows everybody and whom everybody knows, is a speedster; yet everybody rides with him. His haircut is artistic, but we know there’s more to him than an interesting coiffeur. CAROLYN DUNBAR Mask and Mime (2, 3, 4); Latin Club (2, 3); Spanish Club (3, 4 ; Tennis (2, 3, 4); Soccer (2, 3); Tenniquoit (2, 3, 4); Basketball (2, 3); Gym Program (2, )); Nominating Committee (4).

MARI BELLE EASTERBROOKS Candy Committee (4); Poster Committee (4J ; Weather Vane Staff (4); Art Club (4); Ger- man Evening (2t 3, 4). Blonde Maribelle has a quiet charm all her own. A reticent little person, devoted to Westfield, she ad- mits, however, that she is interested in art, photog- raphy, music, and swimming. FLORENCE ERICKSON Sleepy,” who lives right up to her nickname, stays awake just long enough to be on the Distinguished Honor Roll every month and is one of those people who never worry. If you want to wake her up, just mention the name of Bub.” Her favorite sport is hiking, and nothing stops her when she is in a walking mood. ACNES ETZOLD Agnes is the call slim girl with black hair who goes laughing through the halls during her lunch period. Between sudden fits of indifference and conversational study periods, Agnes managed to average” her way through W. H. S. She enjoys dancing and outdoor sports, especially those which can be found at Echo Lake Park, as is shown by her Sunday afternoon walks. CHARLES L. FELL Academic Committee (2, 3); Civic Committee (4); Junior Prom (3); French Club (3, 4); Foot- ball (4); A. A. Council (4); Senior Play (4). If Chas” is a-roaming, bands deep in the pockets of his plaid jacket, you know he failed to get above ninety-four in his test. But this sufferer, with his cocking eyebrow, is an important if small cog in the senior class. twenty-two
