SALTER CLARK French Club (2. 3); Outdoor Track (2, 3, 4); Football 3, 4). Salt, this year’s track sensation, defeated many a seasoned runner at his first practice. Although Ik was interested in football, his small stature and Ins lightness kept him on the bench at most games. A sharp wit, combined with a cheerful personality, has won him many admirers. We wonder whether a smart family car has anything to do with this. ALICE CLARKE French Club (2, 3. 4); Latin Club (2); Community Fair (4). Busy and efficient. Alice is a girl whose school work is never left undone. No wonder she receives good marks! Behind her wall of reserve, we find a good sport with plenty of common sense.

BEN BROWN Track (2). Although Ben is the sleepiest guy in good old W.H.S., he is one of the best mannered and most cooperative that can be found. Mrs. Kimball will miss his constant companionship next year. Under his taciturn expression lies an adequate sense of humor, the real secret of his popularity. If you want to see a good game of African golf, just ask Ben; he’ll be glad to oblige. ROBERT CAMPBELL Football (3): Swimming (3); Outdoor Track (3). Bub's beautiful waves cause awakenings of the green-eyed monster in feminine hearts. Prankish Bob is an authority on the West, having sojourned m California and caught salmon in Oregon, to say nothing of his having been a cow hand this side of the Rockies. Experience with the seamy side of life has made Bob feel that a college education pays. BETTY BROWN French Club (2. Secretary 3, 4i; S. A. T. Committee (2, 3, ( hairman 4); Catalyst Club (Secretary 4); Senior Play Ticket Committee, (4); Annual Chairman (4).

Quips and cranks and wanton wiles plus an infectious laugh endear Kay to her classmates. The Dartmouth Winter C. arnival and an appendectomy were important events in an already crowded year. Kay’s friends talk about a remarkable system . We wonder what it is. don’t you? JACK CAMP Football (2. 3, 4); Track (2, 3); Spanish Club (2); Golf (2,3). Jack, who loves to camp on Coleman Place, has turned his hand to the gridiron, the golf course, and the bonding alleys with much success. Although his marks testify to his conscientious attempt in school svork, his memory for jokes seems to be his forte. We wonder where Jack ever found that Clark Gable smile? It certainly registers with femmes”. FRANK CASTILICIA Academic Committee (4). Forced to leave school in early spring to go to live in Florida, Frank was missed by his many friends. Merryeyed, wavy-haired Frank spent a great deal of time at the Y attempting to become a master bowler and ping-pong player. Although unable to participate in extra-curricular activities, Frank had a likeable personality and was a real asset to the class of ’39. twenty

ALICE COLMER Photoplay Club (3); Glee Club (3, 4); Academic Committee (4); Choir (4). This amiable jitterbug has more outside interests than her French poodle has fleas. Besides attempting golf now and then, Dot is known for her craving for cinema.

An associate editor of the Weather Vane, Lena has contributed illustrations, poems, cover designs and stories to its pages. CEORCE CONKLINC It is surprising to us that George, having an excellent sense of humor and being a good sport, is not more aggressive. His intense shyness prevents him from showing his real interest in sports. A few of the boys who are his particular friends find him most amiable, but his one and only girl friend is his Ford, in which he drives up and down Broad Street singing Oh, Lottie, Lassie . CHARLES CRANDALL Track (2, 3, 4); Civic Committee (4); Slide Rule Club (4); Red Cross Council (3). When it comes to running to, for, or away from, Charlie is a star of the first magnitude. He is also a master of the slide rule and can do algebra, trigonometry and physics in eight-minute periods. He calls himself a cynic and a gentleman—a pseudo-cynic, but at all times a gentleman. HARRY CORNWALL Football (2); Athletic Council (3, 4); Track Manager (2, 3, W4); Track (4); Slide Rule Club (3); Catalyst Club (3, 4). Harry appreciates a joke. Maybe that's why he bowls for the Hi Y. He is extremely popular and blessed with unusual executive ability. He has been driving his Chevrolet for so long that it has become a part of the Cornwall personality . For latest sidelights on school problems, sec Harry. IRIS CRAWFORD Hockey (2); Cheer Squad (2, 3, 4); Baseball (2); G.A.C. (3); Basketball (3); Badminton (3); Senior Play (4); Red Cross Council (4).
