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.

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

MARION Josi-:PH FREEMAN Ada Grammar School, l9llg I. C. C., l9l5. Marion has grown up among us from a wee striving twig to a tall, straight, slender sapling. His greatest delight is in argument, he never sees it like the other fellow. Marion's only weakness lies in the fact that each year he is smitten by some captivating little freshman girl. l-le won the hearty gratitude and approval of his classmates this year by winning the short story in the Inter Class Contest. J AGNES LUCILE. SMITH Boxwell Graduate, 191 l. Agnes comes from the country where the but- ier-cups bloom in the meadows, and paw-paws grow wild on the hillsides. Finding such sur- roundings ill-fitted to develop her extraordinary mental capacity, she decided to come to Ada and there drink of The Fountain of Knowl- edge. Cheeks that rival the roses, Teeth the whitest of pearls, She is one of those country maids Worth a score of your city girls. ' 21 PAUL MATHEWS Boxwell Graduate, 1910, I. C. C., l9l4- l5. Behold our class orator. When Paul gets started on a theme he converses in a confidential tone of voice that can be heard for two blocks. l-le represented his class in the Inter-Class Con- test in l9l4 and again in l9I5, coming out victorious on both occasions. He will repre- sent A. H. S. in the Northwestern Ohio Ora- torical Contest at Bluffton on May 7. fSince above writingj Paul won lirst place with hon- ors and a gold medal.
