PEARL ELIZABETH CAMPBELL When it comes to horsemanship, she’s well ahead of even the Prince of Wales, since His Highness has fallen off considerably lately. Soup will never be hard up for cups for she is the proud possessor of a great many, rang¬ ing from the size of an egg-cup to an umbrella stand. As for funny blue, yellow, and red bows—she could supply Woolworth’s for a year!

VIRGINIA CARLSON Where can one find a word to describe Ginny ? She is so indefinable and so elusive. Nothing can ruffle her calm serenity. Quietude is one of her dearest hobbies. Ginny is one of our most attractive models in encyclo¬ pedias, fair hair, beautiful complexion, and deep green eyes. And also, like an encyclopedia, much research is necessary to bring out her true self. With her talent, her personality, and her looks, Ginny couldn’t have any¬ thing but success in future years. Born: Winchester; June 13, 1917. Hobbies: Music, swimming. Scholastic Intentions: Business College. Ambition: Secretary. JOSEPH ANTHONY CASSIDY Joe is one of those fortunate individuals who always has an appropriate joke or witty saying for any situa¬ tion. He is always smiling and ready for a good time, and ready to tell you a nice big “one”. When Joe was elected president of the senior class, one couldn’t help wondering if he would accept it with his happy-go-lucky manner. Need we add that Joe is one of our best officers? Born: Winchester, June 14, 1918. Hobby: Thinking up money-making schemes. Activities: Varsity Football ’34; Class Pres. ’35; Aber- jona Staff; Highlights; Class Basketball.
