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.

Class Secretary '28, '29 Class President '30 Searchlight Staff '29 Honor Roll '27, '28, '29, '30 Major-Mathematics, French MARGARET PFENNIG Marge Her eyes as stars of twilight fair Like twilight, too, her clusky hair. 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

W1LL1.aMsv1LLE HIGH SCHOOL EDMUND WIDLER Ted The blush is becoming, but is sometimes inconvenient. If a popular vote were to be taken to ascertain the most distinguished citizen of W. H. S., we are conf iident that Ted would capture the title. In the first place, we hold this conviction because of the unusual athletic prowess which he has displayed in defence of his Alma Mater. Somehow or other, a game isn't a game without Ted. He has not only earned the appelf lation of HomefRun King in baseball, but has also shown marked ability in basketball and football. Secondly, his friends are thrown into iits of laughter because of his remarkable wit. This characteristic is prominent in his comical writings. In spite of his bored countenance, we that know him are positive that it is just put or1.
