Class President (1). Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (2). A. A. Dance Committee (3). Prom Committee (3). Class Marshall (3). Class Will. Operetta, Fire Prince (3). School is just a game to Austen and he has played it fairly and with determination to win. Nevertheless he is a good sport and even if he had lost we doubt if he would mind playing it over again, especially if it were possible to work up with the class of ’36. He is always ready to be helpful and was indispensable to the athletic teams, the operetta casts and to the success of our class activities. He can be recognized anywhere by his pleasant smile, cheerfulness and general goodfellowship. RUTH IRENE BURTON And virtues hath she many more than I with pen have skill to show ' Member of A. A.

Ruth, our class beauty, is very capable and business-like which qualities have enabled her to make all our class activities sue cessful for four years. She has not neglected her studies either. In addition, she has starred in basketball and has great dramatic ability. She intends to be a librarian. Ruth is very popular with everyone and might be dubbed our most sophisticated girl.

You would be convinced that she really deserves to be named the most ambitious, if you could see her doing a hundred and one things at once, and doing them all well. Page Five

NETTIE MARIE CLEMENTS The general favorite as the general friend. Glee Club (1). Concert (1). Operetta, Bits o’ Blarney (2). Operetta, Fire Prince (3). If you have any problems which you must bother someone with, you’ll get good results if you go to Nettie. She’ll listen with a sympathetic ear and then give you her solution. She can help anyone out of any difficulty. Because of her willingness to aid others, she has a great many friends. She works hard for what she gains and consequently values her winnings. GEORGE EDMOND COAD Describe him who can, an abridgement of all that was pleasant in man.” Basketball (1, 2, 4). Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4). Captain of Basketball (3). Member of A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Handsome is what we call Mike, and who wouldn’t? We wonder if his good looks have anything to do with his influence upon the teachers; for you know Mike runs all their errands for them. Mike has done some outstanding work in basketball and baseball, for which he has several letters to show. Although several of the weaker sex have tried to attract Mike’s attention, Irene seems to have monopolized him completely. DAVID BRUCE CRIGHTON A wise and masterly inactivity.” Debating Club (1). Class History (4). Bruce is our most collegiate member. He believes that no subject is so serious that it can’t stand a little humor mixed with it. Things would have been dull and uninteresting without him. We hear that he is experimenting with electricity. Perhaps he will find it very useful in the torture and extermination of insects at which business we are certain he will roach great heights. We realize that insects are becoming more and more dangerous and encourage his enthusiasm in destroying them. Page Six
