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.

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 MARIE BREHM MARIE,' A wise woman is at silent wofrnafnu Marie is one of our most prized friends. She came to us from Manchester High in her Sophomore year, our gain, their loss. No mat- ter what happens, no matter how far in the Dumps one of us may feel Marie always has a sunny smile. She is very quiet and demure and just as dependable. One can always know that Marie has put forth her best efforts. Marie is another of these girls who completes the picture of a good meal, or a well-kept house but no matter what responsibilities fall to her in life, may she tackle them with the same willingness and ease that she has used to tackle them in High School. MILDRED BROWN MILLIE HLOW is like a trunk-if you can't check 'Lt express it Mildred is one of our absolute necessities. Quite, reliable, resourceful--and besides she is in love., Strange as it may seem Millie has a weak- ness for a certain ':Gas-man and enjoys a ride in the front seat of a Ford truck. Mildred's every pleasant disposition, her friendly manner and her willingness to help, whenever help is needed, have made her en- deared to all who know her. We hear, by the students, Millie , that you are going to Hood College and we sincerely hope your college career will be as successful as your high school sojourn has been. Mildred, we know that W. H., S. will miss you when you are gone. It will be many a day until we will find another who will exactly fill your place. LEROY BUTTS LER0Y HG7'PlIfl'l' power has no mzwz Haan his pm Leroy is one of the schools most noted Book wormsn. He reads everything and anything he lays hands on from the unabridged dictionary to the Westminster Times, although we have heard him say that the former treatise does not prove interesting reading since the topic changes too frequently. Leroy is Miss Fiscel's dependable man whenever it comes to a mat- ter concerning literature, past, present, or childish. fAlice in Wonderland.l During the four years Leroy has been with us he has been noted for his ability to write stories as well as tell them. Whenever we hear the term Baby', men- tioned in the classroom we can always rely on Buttsyis being uit . Teachers, too, have given him that name because of his ability to amuse himself with his miscellaneous playthings. Never- theless, he arrives with an answer before many others get ready to commence to begin to start. Someday we are likely to hear of a famous author by the name of Butts and we will not need to guess twice to discover the first name.
