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!

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

Et MrQ.LR..E S or ROY FRICK Toy Oprrclla, 3: Glen Club, 3. Silence is golden . That is one of Roy's chief reasons for his quiet manner. Here's a boy who could raise an orchid from an onion bulb, if possible. Roy is one of the few Senior boys who can dance. Please don't crowd, girls. Roy's ambition is to go to Penn State and study landscape gardening. We wish him the best in life because we know some day he is going to Say it with Flowers. EDITH FULMER Edie Opercltu, 2: Girl Rest-rvrs. 3. Edith is one of the few-and-far-between redheaded girls of the Senior class. However, this doesn't mean that she is quick- tempered or temperamental. On the contrary she is just as jolly and good-natured as a girl can be. Moreover, Edith is one of those precious people who can be termed a real friend. Perhaps her heredity and environment keep her from be- coming fickle or inconstant. At any rate there is a certain something about her personality that wins friends on all sides. Please don't change, Edith. PAULINE GREENBURG Greenie Curly Class Buslzclball, 3-4: Les Memolres, 4: Echo, 4. This vivacious miss is one of those people blessed with a happy- go-lucky temperament. Cheerful, sprightly. and brimful of giggles,-our curly-haired classmate will undoubtedly lead a very happy and contented life. Pauline has always had a scholastic standing better than the average. Her English com- positions generally receive praise and favorable comments from Miss Moyer. If she ever takes up journalistic work. we will certainly look for something out of the ordinary from Pauline. Please don't forget your old classmates, Greenie. CHECCHINA GUZZETTA Kiki Class Basketball, I-Z-3: Opvrelta, 2-3-4: Glee Club, I-2-3-4: Les Mcmolres, 4: Echo, 3-4. This happy young lady is so congenial and companionable that she is a universal favorite. Her merry blue eyes and smiling lips never seem to lose their friendliness. Checchina is both musical and literary minded. Surely such a talented person de- serves recognition in one line or another. We'll surely miss her cheery smile and willingness as a friend. At the beginning of the year, Checchina's lack of punctuality was a cause of great concern to the authorities, but for some reason or other she has turned over a new leaf. When the roll is called up yon- der , will Checchina be on time? nineteen
