WILLIAMSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL IDA MAY PARDEE Imp Blue were liev eyes like tlie fairy flax, Her cheeks like the dawn of day. Our tastes are like gentlemen's tastes-we prefer blondes. No one could help admiring our charming and able president, Ida May. Under her capable guide ance of the past year, our class has reached the climax of our high schoool career-our commencement. Her sparkling wit and animation have won her many friends among her schoolmates. Ida May's excellent scholarship has placed her high in the rating of her teachers, while her good sportsmanship has made her a favorite among her friends.

It is the little things in life that count. So it is with Margaret Pfennig, who came to us at the begin' ning of her sophomore year from Tonawanda. Marge has certainly done her bit in procuring the funds for the Washington trip. Many a time was she seen behind the counter selling that delicious home made candy for which this particular class is noted. No wonder they sold so much! Her winning smile has won many friends not only in our school, but also in Washiiigton. However, Marge is beginning to quiet down now, for she realizes that exams are ap' proacbing. Marge expects to enter the Bryant and Stratton Business school next fall. We predict a bright future for her. Major-History 1 8

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.

WILLIAMSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL AUSTIN RIST EDITH SHAW Ede A smile, a laugh, a word of friendly greeting, 'Tis a live mind and worker you are meeting. Edith is a well known member of our classes, for she has gained her entire education in W. H. S. She has built for herself an enviable scholastic record. But Bde is also recognized for her sense of humor, which bursts forth in spontaneous giggles. As our student council representative, she has shown characteristic school spirit by promoting sales of tickets for school activities. Besides, she cheers at the games, and attends most of the school functions. We expect a distinf guished future for this busy bee of ours. Student Council '30 Searchlight Staff '30 Honor Roll '27, '28, '29, '30 Major-French Sonny I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer. Sonny is probably the most famous driver in Wilf liamsville. He can drive anything-Fords, Cadillacs, and fire engines. But he can do another sort of drive ing: he can drive his teammates on to showing the best in them and making the school proud of them and their sportsmanship. Sonny, as well as the other Senior athletes, is leaving with a very good reputation for effort, both in athletics and in scholastic work.
