WILLIAMSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ROBERT JENKS Bud Honor lies in honest toil. Full of pep and fun is Bud Jenks, the boy with the cheerful. curly hair. However, his temper certainly is not the sort we associate with red hair, for he has one of the most remarkable dispositions we have known. Is he courteous? And how! In addition to all these admirable qualities, Bud has been of great service to W. H. S. along the athletic line, participating in base' ball and football. Last year, he was one of the boys on the AllfHigh team. In spite of his heavy prof gram, Bud has done his work faithfully, and thus has acquired the admiration of his instructors as well as his classmates. We have a good deal of faith in Bud's success, regardless of what his intentions for the future may be.

'Al is one of the few boys of the class who has received his entire education in Williamsville high school, consequently he is a wellfknown young man about town. His captivating smile' has won the admiraf tion of many of the opposite sex-especially the teachers. Moreover, he, as well as Jim Green, could pose for a clothing store ad. And say! Have you seen him swing his mighty arm as he pitches for the Blue and White? Al certainly frightens the batters of the opposing team. Not only in baseball, but in basketball and football he has shown marked ability. His future plans are indeiinite, but, whatever they are, we are sure that his pleasing personality will make him a big success in life.

WILLIAMSVILLE HIGH Souooi. JAMES GREEN Jim For courtesy wins women all as well As valor may. Although jim just came to us from Bennett this year, he certainly has been a valuable asset to our class. There is one thing in which he decidedly takes the lead-courtesy. Moreover, Jim is an excellent example of What the wellfdressed man should wear. In ad- dition to this, the English IV class has discovered that he has an inquiring mind. It is perhaps due to this that Jim does his work so faithfully and well in spite of the heavy program he is carrying. It is no wonder that he has made a host of friends. A winning smile and a cheerful word are his usual greeting to all of his acquaintances. Ma j or-Science FREADMONDE HOHL F1'itZll KWorlQ first and then rest. Fritz is one of the few mortals who is blest with . the gift of curly hair. Moreover, he has the ability to do efficient work in a filling station. We often wonder if L'Fritz, could pump information into his classmates as vvell as he can pump gas into automobiles. Although not athletically inclined, Fritzl' has rendered service to his Alma Mater as a first violinist in the orchestra for three years. Then, too, he displayed marked dramatic ability in the first German play at' tempted in this school, Der Krieg Kommtf' Those of us who went to Washington prophesy that Fritz will become the village photographer, or at least an able assistant of Reverend Schleifer. If you haven't seen his album of several hundred pictures of the trip, do not fail to ask him for it. He'll be glad to lend it to you. Orchestra '28, '29, '30 Honor Roll '28 Major-Science 15

Mary Elizabeth has been with us since our fifth - W1LL1AMsv1LLE HIGH SCHOOL RYAN LOW 'LBud' I only regret that I have but one heart to give to the ladies. Ryan came to us this year, creating a flutter among girlish hearts. How those same hearts thrilled with delight at his performance in the Senior play. Unlike the average newcomer, he has not felt it necessanry to brag about what we did in Wisconsin. Moref over, he has a startling amount of information to supf ply, particularly to teachers when he wishes to stave off dangerous questions. Altogether he has helped us lots, and we are glad he joined us. Football '30 Orchestra '30 Major-Science MARY ELIZABETH MCDCNALD Molly Her gesture, motion, and her smiles, Her wit, her voice, my heart beguilesf' -' grade days, and is a profitable asset to our school. She eooi has many talents, but her greatest are those of draf matics and drawing. Her dramatic talent shows itself in her amusing gestures which make even the most serious observer smile. Mary is the kind of person who never appears worried, but constantly wears a pleasant smile. This, too, is a great aid in dramatics. It is also a valuable asset for an artist. We all hope that Mary will become an artist, because she has filled many minutes with laughter over her comical sketches. We feel well assured that her future will be a glowing one.
