GRAND PRAIRIE TEXAN Pare May 20, 1000. THE GRAND PRAIRIE SCHOOL NOTES' Sponsored by the NOTES ON THE SENIORS Edith Pool Margaret Pool Edith: Pool came into high school as an honor graduate from grammar school and she is leaving with the same distinction from high school. Next year she plans to go to NTAC where she will major in business. She has' been secretary this year to the English teacher and has so thoroughly demonstrated her ability, her thoroughness, and accuracy that she has been given almost complete charge of files and records. She has every requirement for a successful business career including an attractive personality.

Though a splendid actress, Edith declares that her pet peeve is practicing plays. Her hobby is driving on Sunday afternoon. Margaret Pool Class secretary, secretary to the Activity Council and honor graduate, Margaret Pool has been for four a years a "pillar of the school." She served as one of the stage, managers for the Senior play, she had complete charge of the ticket sale; she was one of the two in charge of arrangements for the Jun1or-Senior picnic. In fact, when' work has been needed, when brains and accuracy have been needed, Margaret has been called upon, And the job has always been done, quietly, efficiently, promptly, that's: Margaret--unassuming, but confident, unofficous but willing, quiet but capable. Beth Ray Speck Bright-eyed, freckled-faced, gay little Beth Ray Speck will be one of the most missed of all the Seniors, for her rippling, silver laugh has' rung through the halls into the hearts of the student body and the teachers for four years.

"Need a sign painted?" call Beth! Ray. "Need an artistic piece of designing?" see Beth Ray. "Need an idea that's absolutely original?" Beth Ray can spring it. She can act, she can sing, she can dance, she can draw, and most of all she can "steal your heart away." Elizabeth McElroy Last of the Seniors to be discussed is the valedictorian, Elizabeth Elroy, who is being graduated with an average of 92 for the four years. Elizabeth held second honors when the class.

left grammar school. She has climbed one more rung and now holds first place. Mental alertness, efficiency and absolute reliability are the qualities which have brought Elizabeth to her present position. Her. pet peeve, we understand is English.

Her likes and interests are many and varied. MOTH PROOF STORAGE When having your Winter! Clothes Cleaned to put away, ask about our Moth-Proof, Bags, and play Safety First.
