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.

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.

THELMA AILEEN STOPHER Liar-in MCKINLEY DAVIS BEULAH M1N1oN POWELL Oakwood Grammar School, l9l l. It would be hard to End a person who could feel blue in the presence of Thelmals sunny face. They say that beauty and brains are never bestowed upon the same person, but here is an exception. She is a most delightful per- son, as ladly-like as a fairy, with a voice fit to charm the angels: and if Madam Rumor relates truthfully has already charmed several Moth- er's angels. Ada. Grammar School, l9lIg Football, l9l3-14, Historian, Class of I9I5. If there is anything in a name our friend Lehr is destined to become famous. In strength and build he is a modern Hercules. He is one of those persons whom we characterize as slow but sure. Lehr showed wonderful ability at the position of tackle on the football field. He will no doubt soon acquire fame and distinc- tion when he takes up his work in the field of journalism. 22 Boxwell Graduate, l9l l. Beulah is one of our sure enough heavy weights, who, although at all times retaining her poise and dignity, is not slow to assert her rights. We wouldn't advise you to oppose Beulah in any way, or there might be trouble with the result that you would be the leading man in a cute little funeral. Beulah is a dil- igent student, a willing helper and a faithful friend. 1 4
