HAROLD GILLESPIE
Vanity unchained marks the senior who must have his personal picture in the Tom-Tom twice–such is Harold, the unequalled. But that’s not bad–publicity is worth the price. Harold’s creed is "attended all school activities," and his motto, "Easy come, easy go." Bitter Truth: The better you know him, the more traffic cops we’ll need.

LOIS MOHLER
School Life, Girl Reserves, Writers' club. Lois is just a bit of southern coquetry, with a touch of the old-fashioned. She is always smiling even though School Life subscriptions are terribly hard to get. She enjoys playing "Big Sister" very much and has had quite a lot of practice at it. Bitter Truth: Lois broadcasts so rapidly, you can't tune in quickly enough. |
 |
GEORGE MCCOY
George can't make anyone believe he is a senior, as he rivals Gregory in being one of the smallest boys in the graduating class. He doesn't like to study, but if he decides to surprise you, he can make an A without half trying. Bitter Truth: We wonder if George is Kid McCoy's brother. |
 |
MAXINE WITT
National Honor Society, G. R., Tom Tom. Maxine's collection of "A's" would be sufficient for three or four ordinary students, but she is still human. She is never more at home than when giving a talk before assembly, homeroom, or English class. Bitter Truth: Root beer is the one power that can move her to poetry. |
 |
DOROTHY MCBROOM
Honorable Judges, and friends: The question for today is: "Resolved that Dorothy McBroom has a T. N. T. giggle." Our first point--it breaks any sad mood within its range. Second, it reminds one of the Alps, up and down, don'tchaknow. Third, not on the subject, but we think she's a good old sport. Bitter Truth: She thinks the daily bulletin is a dramatic reading. |
 |
DARRELL RHEA SHREVE
Hi-Y, Athletic Association. Darrell aspires to be a lawyer. He finds most of his recreation arguing with teachers. Just let him start discussing law with Mr. Swindell, and one perfectly good Geometry period is delightfully wasted. Bitter Truth: He just put away short pants this year. |
 |
RUTH STEWART
Raven hair but not a ravin' tongue. The only time she expresses herself freely is when she sings. When she does say something it is so subtle it takes a week for it to soak in. Ruth has a passion for horses, and she loves to ride them. Bitter Truth: Seven letter word meaning lost culinary are--Stew Art. |
 |
GREGORY HUTCHISON
Hi-Y, T-Club, Tom Tom They don't come much smaller than Gregory, nor a bit more energetic and capable. This little man has done as much work during his four eventful years as six average six-footers. An excellent student, one of Mr. Ryan's violinists, and an important cog of the Tom Tom machine. He intends to conquer Yale next. Bitter Truth: The long trouser industry suffers because of his size |
 |
TINY WAIT
She's tiny but just wait, she's other things besides. They say small fish swim best; the same applies to Tiny. She plays the role of "little girl" with gusto, and her sneaking ambition is to be a great actress some day. Tiny hears "the call of the wild"and she "jest nacherly" turns to sports like a duke does to heiresses. Bitter Truth: Pansies don't talk, but Tiny does. |
 |
CLAUDE RITCHEY [Editor’s note; Also spelled Ritchie]
Boys' Glee, Basketball, Football. Claude always has so many outside activities that you can never find him. When he was home room president pupils became accustomed to his sarcastic "now cut it out," delivered in withering tones for the benefit of whisperers in the back of the room. Bitter Truth: Words of wisdom flow from his mouth like water on the Sehara. |
 |
MARGARET ROBINSON
G. R., T-Club, Dramatics, She's "Sally from our alley," the tomboy of "The Charm School." An alarming frankness, a mischievous nature, and a keen sense of humor lurk beneath a 'spiciously calm exterior. As "the fool" in "The Hour Glass," Margaret proved her ability to play a deep emotional role, and gave us a peep at the serious side of her nature. Bitter Truth: She aspires to be a scientist |
 |
MARIAN VENSEL
She drives a Jordan, [no, not Donald Jordan.] Marian is a good-hearted individual, always willing to wrap the goal posts before a football game, or sell "hot dogs" for the booster club. She is a studious girl, because even at "Watts," she looks up history notes, between cokes. Bitter Truth: Give her a June nite the moon lite and--? [do you know what I mean.]? |
 |
ROY SMITH
Senate, Booster Club, T-Club, Tom Tom, Hi-Y, Honor Society. Roy is the capable president of the senior class. He resigned as president of Hi-Y in order to hold this important office. When prexy played the part of Matt in "Cappy Ricks," girlish hearts beat a quickstep, while the boys watched him enviously. Bitter Truth: Sapulpa's beauties have nothing over Anthony's Cleopatra when it comes to Roy. |
 |
FLORA MAE FORE
A Dainty "somebody" with a contagious giggle, and a hint at dignity. She has high aspirations for a commercial career [and maybe domestic]. She won't say whether she used Anti-fat tonic or Camps reducing records. Bitter Truth: She ain't what she used to be.
