LgEsMiSMo1REs RAYMOND BANACH The COUVIIH Orcheslra, 2-3-4: Band, I-2-1'-4: Gln' Club, I: Les Mvmoires. Boom! Crash! and many other percussioned expressions. He's here. Oh, but I forgot. He insists upon being properly in- troduced. Folksies. meet R. Stanley Banach. prima donna of the trumpet, professor of humor. and oh. what a tease. His characteristics are musical, and adorable, both combined with a master mind all of which make him an outstanding and noticeable senior. He is always vouching for the good. moral standing of the community of West Easton. His first ideal is Raymond Knight, premier humorist of the air. He proved this when he made his debut as Paul Whiteman in the ever-memor- able Les Memoires program. It is partly through his efforts in this line that this book is in such a condition. There could not be a more appropriate person to deal with weighty problems than Raymond. and we hope he will continue as such in his great work of reforming West Easton. I This was not written by himselfj FREEMAN BETHMAN Freemy Baseball, Assistant Manaqer. 3---Munaffer. 4: Class Baskelball, 2-1'-4: Operelra. 3: Senior Plaq, 4: Hi-Y, 4: filer Club, 3-4. Check and double check! Here is a member of one of our most famous pairs, Bethman and Lauer. Their first appearance was as Amos 'n Andy. Then you all saw them as twin cops in the operetta, Pickles. Just ask the teachers if they don't team up in classes? Why, even when they sit on the opposite sides of the room, they manage to make the rest of the class laugh at their antics. Bethman will be remembered for his part in the Senior Play and also for his ability to imitate almost any animal in the zoo. Where Bethman is, there will a laugh be also. ARLINGTON BOGER Arr Artie Football. 2-3-4: Baseball, 2-3-4: C'ass Basketball, J-Y-4: filet Club, 3-4. You are now gazing on the face of one of Wilson's best-known Seniors. It is none other than that great star of the gridiron. Arty. S'nulT said. You saw him play. However, that isn't the only line of Arty's talents. He joined the Boys' Glee Club and has become a star bass. Since he has joined the' Glee Club, a remarkable change has come to the notice of the au- thorities that there has been an increase of volume from the boys' section in assembly. We attribute this to Art's training in the Glee Club. Art hasn't said what he will be. but we are all expectantly awaiting the opening of Art Boger's Barber Shop. ETHEL BossLER Bee Class Basketball, 2-3-4: Opcrelra. i-4: Girl Reserves, Ip filer: Club, 3-4. As we gaze upon the countenance of Ethel. we see a serious. studious and ambitious girl. If we look into her heart. we'll find that she is also fun-loving and good-natured. Did you ever know that in our midst, we have a person with an all- consuming desire to be an Interior Decorator? This person is none other than Ethel. Interior decorating is a very interesting occupation. We feel sure that she will like it. How about giving Ethel the privilege of decorating the home of the first Senior girl who gets married? fifteen

L ES MEMOIRES fourteen HELEN AAGAARD Augie Class Basketball, I-2-3-4: Operelta, 2-3-4: Senior Play: Girl Reserves, I-2-3-4: Glee Club, I-Z-3-4g Les Memoires: Echo, 4. This tall, slender, brown-eyed girl is very well known to the majority of the members of the Senior class. Her friendliness and good nature, combined with her desire to achieve. have al- ways made her an outstanding personality. She has a capacity for hard and strenuous work, too. No one who attended the Junior Hop and admired the lovely decorations will ever forget that Helen was the earnest and long-suffering chairman of the Decorating committee. If she continues, in her future life, to labor as hard and unceasingly as she did then, no obstacle will ever be too high or too diflicult for Aagie to overcome. MARGARET ACTON Peg Class Basketball, 35 Operetta, I-3-4: Girl Reserves, 3: Glee Club, 2-3-4: Echo, 4. No one can ever say that Margaret doesn't study her lessons. If we all were as ambitious as this sincere person, we should all rise to fame. Margaret is quite a favorite among the Seniors. Her jolly temperament ought to smooth most of life's roughest pathways. We know, Margaret, that your worst trouble is that of following Mr, Dew in his intricate Problems Class discus- sions. But never mind, we all have our trials and tribulations. As somebody's stenog, we know Margaret will be faithful and industrious. But remember that all work and no play will make Margaret a dull girl. So, don't be too serious. ERMA B. ALBRIGHT Erma B. Class Basketball, 3: Operetla, 2-1'-4: Council Member. 3: Glee Club, Z-3-4: Les Memoires, 4: Echo, 3-4: Editor-in-Chief. 4: Girl Reserves, Z-3-4: Class Vice-Presidenl, 3: Sa'uta!orian. Erma has been everything from poverty-stricken Mrs. Ruggles in the Book Review, to the very distinguished Lady Vivian in one of our operettas. Erma's mentality is everything her name suggests: she has been on the honor roll every month of her four years with us. She is also the competent Editor-in- Chief of the Echo, The Three Musketeers fStrohman, Krock, and Albrightb certainly wouldn't be quite so well- known if it weren't for Erma. Besides being musical and literary, Erma is very artistic, having made our Les Memoires illustrations. What would we do without that all-important person, Erma B.? ELLARITA AUCH Auchie Varsity Basketball, 2-3-4: Class Bashellmll. 1: Opetettn, 2-3-4: Girl Reserves, 3-4: Glee Club, 2-3-4: Les Memoires, 4: Erho, 3-4, Copy Editor: Honor Student. Here is the class baby! Although she is the youngest member of our class, Ellarita has proved that her mentality is mature for she has been on the honor roll consistently during her high school career. Ellarita is really a serious minded person, except when she is with her bosom friend Cthis is quite oftenj. But when she is with Josephine, one can hear a funny little giggle which no one has ever imitated. Ellarita is a diligent member of the Echo and Les Memoires Staffs. She has also been an excellent guard on the basketball squad for two years. Much success at Goucher!

LES MEMOIRES fa- -H ----- -M - - - -Q sixteen Davin BOYER Dave Football, 2-4: Varsity Haslzulbull, 3: Hi-Y. 4, President: Cilcc Club. 4: Opt-rcnu, 2. This young man is one of the best known members of our class, Do you remember Jerry of Jericho Road? If you do, you'll surely recall that David, as the blonde hero of that pro- duction, made many a female heart skip a beat. His tenor voice is exceedingly strong and clear, and we are positive that he' would make an admirable understudy to John McCormack. David is also the President of the Hi-Y. As you know, only those boys who possess the best type of character attain this position. Therefore, this cheerful classmate of ours is well worth your respect. Keep up the good work! ROLLIN BRIOR HBFIIOFU Baseball, 21 Opervlla, 3-4: Band, 4: Give Club. 4. Crash! Crash! It's Rollin giving his all to the success of an im- portant activity, namely, the High School Band. He is the time keeper. Not with a watch, but with a pair of cymbals. Rah! Rah! It's Rollin again giving his all to the success of an im- portant activity, namely, basketball. He is indeed a courageous person. QHe is not afraid to ride with Dunbar.J We wish him all the luck in the world because he really deserves to go through life without a broken neck. He desires some day to be the answer to a maiden's prayer. Shh! This is a secret. He's looking for the maiden, Now's your chance! ROGER BROWN Brownie Opervtlu, 4: Glu' Club, 4. The rumble of wheels! The screech of brakes! An elegant form jumps lithely from the moving truck. With a bread basket on his arm he races madly to a front door, hammers un- til he gets a response, exchanges dough for dough, rushes to the wagon for change, then charges back with dough in his hands and dough on his arm. Who is it? Three guesses. Rudy Vallee? No! Santy Clause? No! Roger Brown? Yes! Nobody but our old friend and trig shark CFD Yes and no, mostly yes. Roger's ambition is to drive the bread truck into the good graces of-well, the good graces! GEoRoE BUTLER 6f5 Foolbull, 2-3-4: Baxehull, Z-3-4: Class Busketball, I-3-4. Butler, like anyone else, reminds us of something. Twinkle- twinkle, great big star. That's it. As an algebra shark, he's an excellent center on any football team. George is one of those boys, who, if he could put his shoulder to the wheel, would hide the wheel. His characteristic seems to be unceremoniously making an imprint by this same shoulder. His only regret is that he can't make a favorable imprint on the teachers. and that Mr. Dew doesn't trust him when there's snow for snowballs. That's why Butler forcibly walks home all by his lonesome. He'll trust you next year, George.
