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.

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.

THE OWL KATHERINE BYERS MKAY!! But where is the mam, who can live without dlifllyfbgll Although Katherine is always late to school her tardiness does not interfere with her ac- tivities after she arrives. She is one of the members of the Home Economics Club and is often seen helping in the cafeteria in a good many ways. The surest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Katherine, and the de- mands for cooks will never cease. We do not know your future ambitions as you keep them a secret but we know that you like to visit in Baltimore. We wonder why f?j. We trust that wherever you may find yourself you will always remember the class of '32 for they will ever be anxious for you and your wel- fare. EDWARD CORBIN K1ED7J Clown fafuored and imperially slim Ed,' is just one of these shy boys but we know that -iust behind that shyness is a high grade of intelligence. We, especially a certain 'dinner' group, have been proud to have Edu with us. Many din- ners would have been spoiled if i'Ed', had not synchronized them with his mouth-organ. Edward is a very good student and we are sure that he has all the possibilities of getting any job from that of a stenographer to, we say, a harmonicist. RICHARD CORBIN ' ' CORBIN ' ' A kind, true heart is written on his manly brow Richard is one of the big, strong, silent boys of our class. But mention mechanics to Rich- ach and the silent spell is at once broken for Richard has something worthwhile to say. As' advertising solicitor for the Owl Rich- ard has shown his promising business ability, His willingness to co-operate and help the cause has been shown by his generosity in the use of his most trusty Chevy , On the Soccer team Corbin has displayed his ability as full back and in basketball he has been a successful substitute. The class of '32 feels that Richard will have little trouble in winning for himself a place in this world. rt
