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

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.

79' eighteen LES MEMOIRES -E e -fe ee e . 'ss THOMAS ELLIOTT Tom Tim Baseball, 3-4: Class Basketball. i-4: Cher-rlcacler, J-I-4: Clce Club, 3, Echo, I-3: C'ass Prcsidenl, 2-3-4. At the football games everyone cranes his neck to see where that shouting for cheers and much waving of arms comes from. Oh, now we see who it is--none other than Tom , He has been one of our cheerleaders for the past few years. He also played a big part in making the Junior Hop of '30 a big suc- cess. We, the class of '31, salute our big class president. What would our classes be like if we didn't have the gorgeous rays of light that come from Tom's blush to guide us through some boring subject. HILDA B. EMMETT Hilda Operetla, 3-4: C'ec Club, 3-4: Les Mc-moires, 4: Echo, 4. Typist-in-Chief: Honor Student. This petite young lady is one of the most energetic girls in our class. Her nimble lingers have hovered busily over more type- writers than it would be possible to enumerate. Of course. everybody can't be fast but Hilda certainly has more than her share of speed. In her capacity as typist-in-chief of the Echo. Hilda has probably put in more over time than any other Senior. Unlike the toilers we learned of in Problems, she has never gone out on a strike. ln fact, she seems to enjoy being busy. If everybody followed the example set by this dainty. gray-eyed miss, wouldn't the world be a much pleasanter place to live in? MURIEL FLUHR Flare Varsilq Basketball, 4: Class Baslzelball, I-2-3, Operutta, 2-i-4: Girl Reserves, lg Glee Club, 2-3-4: Les Mcmolres, 4: Ecko. 4. Muriel is one of our artistically-inclined classmates. Her work in poster making and decorating has already reaped a large har- vest of praise and commendation. Anyone who can draw pretty girls as well as Muriel, deserves success and esteem. We are glad that she is to continue her studies in Art after leaving high school, because we know she will make Hood. May the kindly regard of the art critics always be lVluriel'sl Best wishes from the Senior Class to a future Nell Brinkley! J OSEPHINE FORNWALT Jo Varsity Basketball, 3-4g Class Basketball, I-2: Opcretta, Z-3-4: Girl Resrrces, 3-4' Glee Club, I-3-4: Les Memoires, 4: Echo. 3-4: Honor Student. Josephine has long been one of the most brilliant players on our Basketball team. Any girl who can intercept passes as neat- ly as she can, would make a wonderful professional. Josephine is also one of our super-intelligent feminine students. Her dimples and blue eyes are certainly misleading because while they look so carefree and unconcerned, we are very well aware that Josephine must have burned a great deal of midnight oil in order to achieve such a high scholastic record. With two lines of life work open to her. we shall expect great things from Jo. Don't disappoint us!
