THE OWL FERN BASLER FERN f'We know her by hm' happy air, Her light blue bytes and soft, blomle hair. You see before you the choicest plant of the season, a Fern. Fern is one of those girls whose friendship one cannot resist. She carries with her that tiny little smile that means so much. Because of her willingness to tackle men, the most dif- Hcult problems, she has won the admiration of all of her classmates and of her teachers as well. Fern has had no trouble to win for herself many musical distinctions. She is a member of our Glee Club, taking part in all of the musi- cal activities. She was our noted little 'iYum Yuml' in the operetta, All At Sea . If you hear someone say t'Pern and 'lFearl',, don't be alarmed for itls because of their close companionship that the two names are mixed. Instead of longing, as most fair maids do, for this seasonls lacy clothes, Fern is quite satisfied and happy to just have Lacy close. Whatever your vocation may be, Fern, the class of '32 wishes you the best of success. MAE BATEMAN 1 I BIAEJ J AU u'or7.' mid 110 play' Jlakws Johnny a dull boy Play is Maels middle name and work is, well, weill say about her fourth or fifth. We notice that Mae uses for her motto Let play run riot and not Make hay while the sun shines . Mae has yet to display her genius in classes but we know that it is there and will soon be shown in a spurt or a gush. Letys hope it gushes in the Commercial line as that is the course Mae has chosen-and which we think intends to follow through life. But we may miss our guess-be cause we never can tell how this modern genera- tion will trend. Can we? And really Mae has that something that will win her way right to the top of the ladder of success. She needs no pushing, more likely holding back. We know you are rarin' to go so here's to a hop and a start. W. H. S. wishes you luck, Mae. KATHERINE BEARD MK!! HI guess nursing-is about The greatest job ifn the u'o-rlfl aizyhouf. fT0y.sf0y. Katherine is the type that works diligenty asking no praise, bravely doing what she thinks is right. She always has a smile for everyone and never an unkind remark. When she sees someone who needs a helping hand she gives her aid without hesitation. We are told that Katherine expects to wear a white cap and apron in the future but we are afraid that some Ndoctorn will be attracted by her pleasing personality. Katherine, the class of '32 wishes you the best of luck throughout your future,

THE OWL GEORGE BARE IKDOCJ7 RegarzIlz'ss of the task, It 'must zzawer be ignored. If I crmlt do fiat, Just lwwrf ill to my Fowl. You now see before you the student who plays the part of Miss Fiscel's official time- keeper, and he never fails to mark time. Whenever we glance up we are greeted with a sincere smile Q?j from l'Doc that makes any student start all over again with new vim. QAn unusual, yet remarkable inspirationj George is one of those students whom we call both lucky and popular. Why? Well, just drive up in front of the school at noon and you will readily see, for he possesses one of these never-failing Fords that carries riders even on the spare tire. l'Let it shine or let it pour, whether hitting on two or hitting on four, the ole, Ford hauls its passengers. George is so popular among the ladies that one never knows his latest. We judge that uDoc will not continue in the gas business, but wherever he finds himself we know that the people among whom he moves will still look up to him . MARY BARNHART BARN11AR'i ' She is our who is local Barnhart', is one of those girls without whom the Senior Class could not get along. Willing to serve wherever that service is need- ed, thoughtful, kind and considerate of others -:hese attributes apply to Mary. When her interest is aroused she can become a spirited debater who hangs on to her opinion as long as there is a point on which to argue. During her four years of high school she has proved herself to be a very good athlete. She especially showed her ability as a forward in basketball and also has taken an active part in other athletics during her school career. lVlary's weakness, strange to say, is for the front seats of Chevrolet Roadsters. She says that she is going to college for one year and then take up nursing. We wonder whether the profession or some likely young doctor will receive her untiring devotions. EUGENE BARRICK HBARRICKH Action .speaks louder thcm words Eugene possesses the personal assets which have won him favor and high esteem among the class of 32',. Although he is the quiet solemn type he is always cheerful, friendly, and modest. 'But back of his modesty is a keen sense of wit and humor. We know Eugene best as a student, and a wizard at shorthand, but he is also quite a speedball player. The students of this class feel surc that Eugene will attain success through the use of his pencil and notebook. Here is hop- ing that his pencil becomes faster and more accurate every day, and that his success may keep pace with his pencil.

THE OWL CLARENCE BEARD HBEARDYH Tho, va1Lq'11'i.s7wrl hc could argue .vti-lb Allow us to introduce to you the future Mayor of Meadow Branch and present Presi- dent of the Senior Cass. The little quotation above describes 'QBeardy to a RTN, but we shall endeavor to do him further justice with a few additional phrases. Can uBeardy sing? Well I just reckon he can. He is one of the main song birds of the W. I-l. S. flock. He showed his talent in the operetta All at Sean when he played the role of Chief of Police. He seems to have a talking knowledge of all subjects and itis really a ? to listen to his satiri- cal lectures. Beardy', has what you call horse sense , and when you get into a tight corner he is generally there to pull you out. In future life Clarence is going to he a Scientific Farmer, and he expects to use all the latest methods for keeping the onion away from the potato's eyes and the dirt from the ears of the corn. MARGARET BEARD KIEVEY I ' ' Call her Pal ' , Yes, Pal thatls what we mean when we speak of Margaret. She likes her good times mixed with school work, and now and then she'll get a craze to devote all her time to school. Aaaaah! but there's just that something that makes you, or someone else, fall for her. She is cheerful and peppy and we love to see her laugh-or just a real grin from Margaret will set the world a goin, right. We all like Margaret for she is ambitious, energetic, and possesses the ability to hold friends. Well, Pal, just keep goin' strong and we'll cheer for you at each step forward. BESSIE BOWMAN HPETEU Fun is four? for the DT'7li'UCl'.S'l?H We present with pleasure Miss Bessie Bow- man, popularly known as Pete, who hails from the historical settlement of Tannery fsounds quite sober, doesn't itj? If you gaze long enough at the picture she will burst out laugh- ing-no kidding, Pete is like that. Bessie does not shirk at high school work faccounting for her excellent gradesj English literature is Pete's speciality and we notice her strange sympathy for the loss of Luke in the poem lVIichael.,' She has adopted as her perogative the right to use exclusively as her own the lines I knew that thou cou1d'st never have a wish to leave me, Lukef, Hereis hoping that you will peddle your way on the road of life on the wheel that you wish to ride.
