NATE J. STOBER RI-IEA HENRY Hesse FLORIDA Boxwell Graduate, 1911 g Class Treasurer, 1912-13. Nate is one of our tried and trusty farmer boys. He evidently bases his philosophy on the theory that he will be kept busy tending to his own affairs without mixing in other people's. Nate has a virtue that is not possessed by cer- tain others of his classmates: namely, the abil- ity to remain quiet when he has nothing to say. Nate is a loyal friend, a conscientious, faithful worker and a good student. Graduate Ada Grammar School, 1911. Notwithstanding the fact that Rhea has quite a bit of the scales in her favor, she is one of the fairest of the class of '15, Rhea is a great lover of fun, and her good natured, cheery smile makes one feel that life is worth living- at least it seems to have had some such effect on Ralph. Her eyes remind one of the azure skies of summer. 19 Ada Grammar School, 19IIg Football, 1911-I2-I3-14: Basket Ball, 1913-14-15. Hesse has always been a loyal member of his class both in the school-room and on the athletic field. On the football field Hesse was one of the strongest and steadiest of the back- field men. Strength, good common sense and a pleasant disposition are three prominent fea- tures of this husky lad. The first he acquired, the second he inherited, and the third just seems to be natural for him. W

7-f K get MARY OLIVE WELLS Ada Grammar School, I9l lg Class Secre- tary, l9l3-l4. Mary is another of our number who is espe- cially noted for her diminutive stature. But when we reflect that it is the little things in this world that count, we feel sure that Mary has a life of useful service before her, if noth- ing more than to cheer and brighten the life of some lonely old bachelor. And we truly believe that if Providence pointed out such a course for Wells she would not shrink from her duty. RALPH B. NEISWANDER Boxwell Graduate, 191 l 5 New Stark High School, l9l 3. Here modesty reigns supreme. Ralph is one of those quiet unassuming persons who can ever greet You with a smile. If every one attended as strictly to their own business as does our friend Ralph, what a grand place this old world would be. He doesn't seem to be bothered by that subject which is of such vital concern to most High School boys: namely, that of Girls ln this small body is lodged a mighty mind. 18 ROSA MARGUERITE BETZEL Boxwell Graduate, l9l2. Rosa came to us in our Senior year, so we are ignorant as to her past history, but judging from the present it must have been of the best. Rosa talks little, thinks much and appreciates a quiet good time, but we have never known her to engage in unseemly mirth. We have heard it whispered that she aspires to become the wife of a great college professor, but we can not vouch for this.

GRACE MARIE LEWIS Boxwell Graduate, 191 l. Here is another one of our rural maids who hits town about 8:30 every morning. We have always found Grace ready to do her part when any work was assigned her. She is generous to all her associatesg quiet, when she can think of nothing to sayg faithful, when she has some- thing to dog and devoted, when she has some one to love. WIDLIAM WOLLAM Ada Grammar School, I9I Ig Chairman I. C. C. Banquet Committee, l9l4-l5. While Bill has never been a shining light in the scholastic line, he is a gentleman of no mean ability. This was shown by his successful man- agement of the I. C. C. Banquet. Will is a born lover of nature, as he seems to be irre- sistibly drawn toward the Forest. He has an ambition for earning money and when that much desired metal comes into his possession, it is a captive for good. 20 HELEN MCCREERY Berea Grammar School, I9I I 3 Berea High School, 1913. A marvelous mixture of mirth, music and mischief. Helen is one of the slightly elongated members of our class. She joined us in our junior year and has ever since taken a promi- nent part in all activities of the class. She is a faithful friend, a most agreeable companion, always ready for a good time, yet withal a perfect lady. Helen is held in the highest esteem and friendship by all her classmates.
