If you hear a cheery hello look for Sara, the well-known lone observern of all the basketball games, who has plenty of reasons for not wishing to chuck school. This vivacious blonde is an ath- lete of renown and an accomplished jiu-jitsu artist. GILMAN HAND Catalyst Club 1315 Latin Club 131, Track 13, W41g Baseball 1215 Basketball 121, Tennis 13, 41g Senior Play 141. Famed for his fleetness of foot, Gil is the possessor of twinkling legs that benefit the track team. An athletic youth, he is a perennially active partici- pant in sports. When this likeable chap is turned loose with his talent for salesmanship, Dale Carnegie must look to his laurels. ani 'Www RICHARD GRAHAM Junior Prom Committee 1313 Corres- pondence Committee 141g Senior Play Committee 1413 Catalyst Club 1413 Slide Rule Club 1315 Football 12, 3, W41g Indoor Track 3, 41, Outdoor Track 12, 3, 415 Senior Play 141. Dick is a student who boosts Ber- muda. He is often in the distinguished honor group and he won his letter in football despite his diminutive stature. Now instead of running for touch- downs, he is running on the track team. BARBARA HANDY Mask and Mime 12, 3, 413 French Club 12, Treas. 31, Spanish Club 12, Pres. 415 Library Council 121, Christmas Program 12, 3, 415 Music Festival 12, 3, 41. Barbara is the girl who's always par- ticipating in school musical affairs. Al- though this and horseback riding take up a lot of her time, she is never too busy to argue. When she isn't occupied in worrying about something, Barbara is planning the activities for the Span- ish Club. twenty-six i l i IOAN HALSTED Academic Committee 131, Annual 1419 Mask and Mime 12, 3, 41g Art Club 12, 3, 415 Photoplay Club 141g Senior Play Committee 141. Her hair is the envy of every girl and we give her credit for her new crea- tions. This year her interest has turned toward basketball and football. It seems Jack is heading toward Mountain Ave- nue more often and he and Joan are often seen tearing in her Buick. MARY ELIZABETH HANN Glee Club 12, 3, 41. Known to her friends as Betz, Mary Elizabeth has, because of her charming personality, caused a certain senior's heart to skip beats. Besides her weak- ness for the gentleman mentioned, Mary has a fondness for shoes. Serious and hardworking, though active and lively, Betz is bound to succeed in whatever she undertakes.

GEORGE FRICKMANN A regular job after school has kept George from any active participation in extra-curricular affairs, but has made him a good judge of meat cuts. He is the proud possessor of an excellent camera with which he has had very good resultsg and his other avocation, poultry raising, he plans to make his vocation. He is certainly our authority on chickens. GEORGE FROST French Club 12, 3, 433 Latin Club 13, 433 Library Council 12, 3, 433 Mask and Mime 1333 Golf 13, 433 Senior Play 1433 Red Cross Council U3 A pastime of teasing fair damsels during class and a smooth way of dancing will always identify Frosty with the class of '38. According to the Senior Play he is a prospective model husband, but obviously he hasn't decided on any one girl. RUTH ANNE FROST Academic Committee 1433 French Club 12, 3, 433 Mask and Mime 1233 Latin Club 1233 Baseball 1233 Tennis 12, 3, 433 Soccer 1333 Girls' Gym Program 12, 3, 43. Golf, riding, swimming-at all Ruth Anne is successful. Her favorite pastime is cheering us up with puns that would make anybody laugh. She has a mania for ice cream sundaes, hamburgers, trucking, and imitating a pretzel on skis. PAUL CERHARDT Slide Rule Club 1433 Mask and Mime 13, 433 Literary Club 1433 Forum 1433 Football 12, 333 German Evening 12, 3, 433 Senior Play 1433 Christmas Play 1333 Band 12, 3, 43. This trombone enthusiast and imitator of Tommy Dorsey's style won all hearts in his role as hero in A Romantic Young Lady. He is definitely an out-of-door man and prefers Pennsylvania for skiing as well as for other reasons. WALTER GIVAN Class President 1333 Athletic Council 12, 333 Civic Committee 1Chairman 433 Football 12, 3, 433 Track 13, 433 German Evening 13, 43. Givey, one of our outstanding athletes and a fellow who has gained the admiration of his classmates, has a very pleasant disposition and a keen sense of humor. During the football season Givey was unfortunate enough to sustain a shoulder injury and as a result missed getting his letter. FRED GLEIM Civic Committee 1233 Program Ccmmittee 1333 French Club 12, 3, 433 Chess Club 12, 333 Senior Play Committee 143. Mr. Johnson's chief heckler, Camp Wulamat's best counselor, and Highland Avenue's best stand-by laughs at anything at any time, particularly Foo. Cleo has gained as large a reputation as his monicker Stymie and is heard every time Fred can be heard. l twenty-five

FRED HARRISON Catalyst Club 12, Pres. 3, 41, Slide Rule Club 1313 Mask and Mime Club 1314 German Evening 121. Fred, owner of one of the snappier little runabouts, needs his expert mechanical ability to keep the venerable Ford running. Other than this interest, he aspires to beat the calfskins in a most Krupa-ish manner. He will, no doubt, be remembered more for his drumming than for his hockey playing. IACK HEGKENKAMP Academic Committee 141g Indoor Track 12, W3, W41g Outdoor Track 12, W3, W41. Jack, sometimes heralded as Heggie, a prominent member of the Five Year Club, is one of our most reliable track men. On week-ends jack is frequently seen in the dog wagon, accompanied by one of our numerous smoothies gnaw- ing on hamburgers after a date. On the dance floor, he is a veritable Arthur Murray. ALBERT HASTORF Senior Play Committee 141, Weather Vane 13, 413 Latin Club 12, 315 Forum 12, 413 Football Manager 12, 3, W41, Outdoor Track 12, 3, 419 Red Cross Council 12, 3, 41. As good a manager as has ever been thrown about by the football team is Al. Studious in his work but a problem to teachers, he is quite entertaining to students around him. He is also the favorite subject of the squeeze play in assembly. GEORGE HESS Football 1W41g Basketball 13, 415 Base- ball 13, 41. The handsome boy with the black curly hair you see on the gridiron and participating in other sports is George Hess. He came here in his junior year and established himself as an athlete, good student and lady-killer. George is backward about coming forward but holds his own outside. IAGK HAVILAND Finance Committee 12, 3, 41, French Club 12, 3, 41g Latin Club 12, 319 Literary Club 13, 413 Library Council 12, 3, 41, Band 12, 3, 41. Our red-headed tuba player is noted for pomposity and the ability to argue with teachers. A fine voice, a dynamic per- sonality, and a striking appearance, to- gether with a knowledge of everything worth knowing, make Jack a person to be conjured with. GEORGE HOLLAND Finance Committee 121, Junior Prom Committee 131, Senior Play 1415 Football 12, 3, W41g Indoor Track 3, 413 Outdoor Track 13, 415 Ger- man Evening 12, 313 Community Fair 131. George's main interests seem to be football and track. A swell sense of humor seems to be one of his chief assets as he appreciates puns and chuckles often over his own private jokes. twenty seven
