FRANCES ELIAS This energetic bright-eyed girl has contributed much to our high school. She is our capable high school pianist as well as literary convener. The one mile dis¬ tance from her home to school is no hindrance to keep her away from numerous other activities such as, orches¬ tra, I.S.C.F. and church choir. Much of her time is spent in teaching the piano. Her favorite subjects are Biology and Maths, even though it is apparent that her main interest is not in a subject, but in a president.
