Well, it's Chet singing. Who wouldn't know that voice? Bixler's hobby is singing and he certainly can sing. Chot has had leads in operettas and in many other plays. He is the school's hero. Strange enough. Chot does not sing in his leisure time. He cleans shot guns. Neither does he intend to do any professional singing or acting when he is through school. ls our hero lost to us? We hope not. NIINNIE BLACK Vnledletorlun Operuttn, 2-33 Glee Club, 2-31 Intex-class Raskotlmll, 1-2-3: Echo, 3: Typist-lu-Chief of Echo, -lg ' Here is one of the most intelligent girls in the class. XVhile looking at her photo. you may be sure that you are looking at a very studious and ambitious young woman. Minnie is very active, especially in Echo work, for, as you know, Minnie is Typist-in-chief and has much to do in arranging. selecting. and typing Echo material. Minnie has frequented Mr. Dew's office practically daily and has established the reputation of be- ing a very reliable person. She is going to select a business career as her life work, and because of her extreme intelligence. we are confident that she will come out on top. Lots of Luck! HELEN BOEHM Druxmitie Club, 2-3 9 Listen! No, it isn't Little Jack Little producing those sweet strains of music, but it is our light-haired, blue-eyed Helen tickling the ivories again. Secretarial work doesn't appeal to Helen as much as piano playing does. and can we blame her? You could not ask for a more pleasing personality, better friend, or liner cook than she is. and we often wonder who the lucky one is to be. Hzlen has been a member of the make-up group for two years. which probably accounts for the artistic way in which she applies it. Perhaps she will become better known as the pianist of a famous orchestra and more so as someones caoable home manager. CLAYTON EDGAR BRASEFIELD Clayr ' Ouerettn. 2-3: Band, 4: Glee Club, 2-3-45 Yom- Book, 4: Class Basketball, 1-2-3-43 Class Football, -43 Orchestral, 1-2-3-4: Staging. 4 9 Listen to the roaring of a Studebakefs motor, the screech- ing of brakes, the howling of tires, and look at the cloud of dust! Once more. when everything is calm and quiet, you are able to see Old Faithful panting and puffing while Clayt climbs out. Although he drives like the wind, he has many line points about him. A few minutes before the bells ring in the morning or afternoon, we can usually see him in the halls talking or walking with his friends. He is very active in the band and orchestra. Our friend is a little aireminded, and there- fore we think he will make good in some flying school to which he expects to go. fifteen
