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.

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-E-So-M.ElYTOIRE,5 C pp 'ii MARY CAPURO Cappy Class Basketball, 3-4: Opcrt-Ita, 3: Girl Reserves, I-Z-3-4: Give Club. I-2-3. Mary is one of the many quiet girls found in our class. Al- though not noticed very often because of her quiet personality, she certainly is outstanding when she begins to work out trig problems in Mr. Dew's Democracy class. Mathematical sub- jects are the only kind that seem to interest Mary. This is rather unprecedented in a girl but genius always pops out in queer ways. We'll soon expect to see a new mathematics in- structor in Wilson High. MYRON JAMES DERVIN Jim Football, 2-1: Baseball, Z: Varsllu Basketball, 2-5: Class Bas- ketball, 4: Oper:-tra: Senior Play: Hi-Y: Glce Club: Les lllrmolrrs: Echo: Class Vlre-President, 4. The Hrst thought that comes into one's mind when one sees Jim is: We wonder what he'll do next, Did you ever see him when he wasn't teasing or tormenting someone. teachers in- cluded? But with all this foolishness James has real ability. He is very artistic. As you glance through this book. you will realize that what we're saying is true. Jim also played a part in the senior play. and portrayed it very well. You are trying to keep us guessing, Jim. Will you be an artist or an actor? ALLAN DUNBAR Al Dunk Football. 2-3-4: Class Basketball, 2-5-41 Orchestra, 2-3-4f Band, 3-4. Approaching is heard the roar of a racing motor. Drivers aban- don their cars, honest burglars rush for cyclone cellars, women shriek hysterically. Pandemonium reigns. It is not a bombing raid but a peril far worse. It is Dunbar driving his auto at a terrific speed and going nowhere in particular, taking corners at sixty, missing poles by inches, speeding madly on and on. The scene shifts: he is in school. A form drifts slowly down the hall. It is Al, but vastly changed. Teachers beg with tears in their eyes for him to stand up while reciting, but the effort is evidently too great, for by the time he gets up he usually for- gets the answer. And so, amid loud applause we award Al the genuine celluloid frying pan for being Wilson's fastest slow motion artist. EVELYN EDINGER Eve Eddy Class Basketball, I-2-3-4: Oprrclta, 3-4: Girl Rest-rues, I-Z: Glen- Club. Z-3-4. Evelyn is a girl who can truly be called amiable. Studious, cheerful and friendly as she undoubtedly is. can you wonder that she has an undeniable attraction for a certain masculine member of our distinguished group? Evelyn is one of the shining lights in our English class. She also excells in cooking and other household arts. It seems to us that her future career is already cut out for her. How about it, Evelyn? With your habits of patient industry and perseverance, we are sure you will be a big success. seventeen
