MAE AURORA SWANSON SWANNIE” Not that she loves studies less, but fun, the more.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball Manager (3), (4). Art Editor of Wide Awake (1). Wide Awake Staff (2), (3). Editor-in-Chief of Wide Awake (4). Mirror Staff (2), (3). Ed-itor-in-Chief of the Mirror (4). Class Secretary (2). Committee Basketball Championship Banquet (2). Cast of Silas Marner” (2). Glee Club (2), (3). Dramatic Club (3). Cast of The Worm” (3). Dance Committees (3), (4). Treasurer of A. A. (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Cast of Operetta (4). Honor Roll Committee (4). Prom Committee (4). I’ll do it.”—and she does! Dancing, designing, playing basketball, writing poems or articles for the Mirror, planning parties, singing, taking part in dramatics—all these activities seem equally easy for Mae, and if her giggles are any indication, she enjoys each one. She used to be very proud of her Swedish ancestry, but just lately she has seemed to favor the Irish. CHARLES HURD WESTERI.UND WESTY” The worse the scrawl-the dose-the better.” A. A. (1). If the above quotation is true, Westy will make a wonderful doctor. Westy’s curly hair is sure to call forth admiration, but the thing which we will always remember about him will be his grit in resuming his studies after his long illness. If you can put some of that into your patients, Westy, how successful you will be. DOROTHY ALICE THOMAS DOT” Music hath charms.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Glee Club (1), (2). Basketball (1), (2). Number please? The latest one. Then her fingers fly over the piano keys, and everybody for rooms around dances the tedious noon hour away, dances until its time for our joyous classes again. Oh yeah? Say you leave that expression alone. Dot has a monopoly on it. We think this is an appropriate time to thank her for her music, and when she gets her own orchestra, we’ll be on hand. Page Twelve

PHILIP ALFRED SCOVILLE PHIL” O, why did nature invent the untimely dimple?” A. A. (I), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (I), (2), (3), (4). Class Vice-President (1), (4). Agriculture Judging Team (1), (2), (3). Baseball (2), (3), (4). Class President (2). Track (2), (3), (4). Tennis (2), (3). Banquet Committee, Basketball Championship (2). Vice-President Nature Club (3) Class Secretary (3). F. F. A. (3). Junior Prom Committee (3). Banquet Committee F. F. A. (3). President F. F. A. (4) Dance Committee (4). Class Prophecy. (4). For a fellow with such steady nerves, he surely does jump. He has set most of our track records in running and jumping. Many times we have seen an opponent s shot, which looked like a certain goal, picked out of mid-air by this agile basketball guard. We pity the baseballs that come in contact with a bat that he is wielding, and try to catch him on bases! Aside from being an athlete, Phil is undoubtedly a ladies’ man. PHYLLIS MAE SHARROW PHYL” A good sport, a true friend. For what more can one wish?” A. A. (I), (3), (4). Class Vice-President (2). Glee Club (3). Secretary of Glee Club (3). French Club (3). Operetta Cast (4). Basketball (3), (4). Vice-Pre-ident of English Club (4). Class Prophecy (4). Here's a lady who can keep from talking. Friend and confidante of all, faithful, winsome and kind, she excels in basketball or on the dance floor. We wish all our friends could be cut from that pattern. GERTRUDE ELIZABETH SMITH GERT” True ease in writing comes from art, not chance.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (3), (4). Violin Club (3). Novel Club (3). Honor Roll Committee (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Class Poem (4). Gertrude is our gift to Literature. We are sure that she will occupy a place of fame in that field—quite a large place in fact, but, owing to a recent reduction, not as large a space. We think her favorite writer is Dick (ens). At any rate his writings hold her interest. Page Eleven

 HELEN ELIZABETH TRAVERS HELEN” Who does all things well.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4). Captain Basketball (4). Third Prize, Essay Contest (1). Athletic Editor Wide Awake (2). Glee Club (2) , (3). Junior-Prom Committee (3). President Nature Club (3). Dramatic Club (3). Dance Committee (3) . Waitress F. F. A. Banquet (3). Chairman Prom Committee (4). Class Secretary (4). Operetta Cast (4) . Senior Party Committee(4). Mirror Staff (4). Honor Roll Committee (4). Class Will (4). The girl with the telephone smile in her voice. If everyone had played basketball the way she did, no other team would have had a chance. The Mirror profited by her literary ability. Dances would not have been successful, had she not been on the committees. We know a certain Senior who has waxed athletic and acquired a taste for dancing, in order to gain her interest. Grammar school pupils are due to learn a great deal from Helen. ALIDA LUISE WARNER LIDA” Teach not thy lips such scorn, for they were made For kissing lady, not for such contempt.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4). Class Treasurer (1), (3), (4). Nature Club (3). Dramatic Club (3). Dance Committee (3). Boys just wilt when Alida comes on to the scene, yet we notice that there is always a group of would-be-admirers around her desk. All the Litchfield hills are swept” in her skiing escapades. She excels in all sports. She likes to collect souvenirs too, so if she is ever your doctor, watch out, or she’ll take something to dismember you by.” REGINALD PAUL WITTEK REG” The maidens prayed”— Class Marshall for the Class of 1931 (3). Class President (4). And look what happened! We have to look up to Reg, not qnly because he is so tall, or because he’s our Class President, but because he deserves it. If you’re undecided about anything, go to him, and watch him look you straight in the eye while he tells you what’s right. An able leader in class activities, it’s no wonder we place him at its head. Even the front seat of the school bus is reserved for him, but that’s another matter. You know— The brave deserve the fair and The fair deserve the brave ” Page Thirteen « ■«•I
