THE OWL STERLING FOWBLE SHI-:RiFF' ' Ha,il! lhe z:o11q1m1 mg hero comes! Sheriff is our star athlete and well does he deserve that distinction. Ever since his entry into the portals of WY H. S. he has been out for athletics. In his second year he began to dis- tinguish himself and since that time he has been among the forerunners in the various games offered to high school students. He played inner left on the soccer team, center on the basketball team, catcher and first base alter- nately on the baseball team, and set two county records in '31 at the track meet. Ar all times his quick thinking and brilliant performances helped to bring his teammates first to the fin- ish line. His achievements do not stop here either., In bookkeeping he is outstanding and from his in- terest in stocks and his knowedge of business we would say that he will become a successful business man. However, there is a little Twig in his life which may sidetrack him. Let's hope for the best. ELIZABETH FRITZ FRITZIE ' ' AKAWLb'LfiIllI lzitchcx its zvugon To ll sim 11 Still waters run deepf' This has proven to be a true fact about Fritzie. Her high ideals and regard for others have gained her many friends. Elizabeth takes an active part in the girls' chorus being one of the strong alros. If there is something to be done around the school and a dependable person is needed t'FritzieU is chosen. She is Miss Fiscelisishall we say-'QI-iandy mann? We believe that Elizabeth is another mem- ber of our class who has decided to become a nurse and we feel that her adaptibility and reliability will see her through to success. Fritzie,' the class of ,32 wishes you 'QI-Iappy Daysl' ahead. GEORGE GASSMAN ' ' GASSIE ' ' ln, ihe lu'm'ts of mon-a num In The hvairts of one wo1nao'L--u fmlq-u0l'0r. Here's to :'Gassie , the hero of our commer- cial class, who can always be depended upon when anyone wants some special work done. Gassie,' is a senior whom we feel sure should be a taxi driver. He has several times very nearly assassinated several members of the Sen- ior Class with his quick turns or frantic dashes around the corner on two wheels. Now instead of seeing red or green at the corners he sees only K'Brown,' all of the way. Gassie', seems to think that the English and history classes are a favorite rendevous since these two classes contain the cream of the class. As a consequence he sits in ease and answers any questions that are fired at him and mean- while looks interested in more things than the subject under discussion. Best wishes.

TI-IE OWL MILDRED ECKARD ' ' MILNLY ' ' Yo ho! my lads, the wi-nd blows free, A plmsmzt smile is hero for thee. Anyone can see in Milly her valuable busi- ness traits. She weighs sugar and counts eggs in a very business-like matter behind the coun- ter and we have no reason to doubt that she is a great asset to her father's business. Mil- dred can keep books, type, and take letters as well as care for a grocery trade. Although Milly is not a sailor we have heard she has a friend in every port. Go to itl Milly, there is nothing like knowing the world and what there is in it. Mildred may enter the royalty some day as the seems particuliarly fond of 'lEarles,' but bc her path high or lowly hereis success and hap- piness from the class of '3Z. STEWART ECKARD ECKARD 'fTo be or not to beg That 'is the question Stewart is another one of the fhandsomel 6 footers, for which our class is noted. Eckard has the characteristics which make him a real pal, one that can be relied upon during the clark hours. There are a few peculiar characteristics about Stewartg he is not a lazy boy nor is he an over ambitious one, neither is he the smart talka- tive kind nor is he the solemn serious type, but in everything he sets a happy medium and sticks to it all the way. It seems strange to us that Stewart has never been affected by that thing,' called 'tloveug that'is never to the best of our knowledge. We do not know Stewart's plans for the fu- ture but we are sure that we shall always be proud to claim him as a classmate. FRED ENGLAR ' ' BRICKS ' ' Lo0k! lt's a gift Red hair, Haming temper and a surplus of words-Thatls Fred. Bricks is a student whom the class could never do without and hardly knows what to do with, Part of the time he acts as jester, the remaining time he is a serious minded business student. When we hear a peculiar outburst coming from Mr. Curd's room-well, that's Bricks laughing. the remarks that he omits in entertaining oth- ers are not worth looking up. Fred is one of our good singers and he proved this by taking the character Ko-Ko in the musical comedy, All At Sea . In addi- tion to beinq active in dramatics, he is also a splendid athletet Fred is in many moods during the day, but usually he is both Mary Ann Dinstn. BricksU, we know not what your desires are, but here's hoping your life will be filled with the same gay spirit with which you have filled your school days.

THE OWL KING GEHR KKKINGJJ HA liitfle nonsense now wld tlwn, Is relished by the Izcst of mfmf' King is one of our best athletes and is also one of the most favored in the class rooms. One can never tell when he will make some bright remarlc and you may be sure there is plenty of humor in it and sometimes a sting, too, for the one against whom it is directed. Miss Fiscal has a wealfness for the way he gives reports ani it is needless to say that the class enjoys the unique way in which he tells us of the life of medieval poets and their works. On the athletic Held, King has shown us what he can do to the opposition. As pitcher on the baseball team he has gained such a reputation that the opposing batters feel no urge to be up and doingi' when it is their turn to face our Uspeed Demonn. However, in spite of his athletic strength King has fallen for a most prominent lady, a certain pretty black-haired girl who plays havoc with all of King's thoughts which linger 'Qmidn way. He is not at all mercenary for he has no desire for pounds but feels that he is wealthy in the possession of a single uShilling . KLEE GRUMBINE ' ' GRUMMIIQ ' ' UK stands for keenness, MII' stands for like- able ancl double e stands for eligibleg all to- gether spell uKlee.,' For the past two years we have all turned to GrummieU whenever any en- terprise needed a helping hand and how well ev- erything he was in turned out. One just knew that if anything was found wanting Klee would find some way to add the necessary touch. Whenever a play was presented Klee Grumbine's name was always found near the top of the cast for his dramatic ability is acknowledged by all. Klee is undecided about his future plans but he may teach elocution and show his pupils how to become the future Garbos and Gables and how to win declamarion contests. Whatever he de- cides upon we are wishing him success. ELI GUMMEL KCBENI7 Judge not from size the strength of man This personage before you represents our most famous cornetist and violinist. For four years Benn has held an exalted position in our High School orchestra and has shown his skill in various musical affairs. In the operetta Eli handled a long sword in the pirate chorus in a very stealthy manner. However, we feel quite sure that l'Ben will never resort to highway robbery as he is far too good natured for such practice. He can al- ways be depended upon to lend a helping hand to any fellowman who is in need. Ben's broad, broad smile has been a great help to us during his High School life and we feel sure this smile will win a pleasant path through the years to, yes, even to the ladies' hearts.
