I GEORGE ROBERT BOTKIN BERT1-xA PEARL STREET Ross D. ROSENBERGER Ada Grammar School, l9l I g Football: Basket Ball, l9l 3-I4-15, Class Prophet, l9l 5: Boddie is a poet and philosopher-at least he thinks so, but strange to say, others disagree with him. In football he acquired the distinc- tion of being the best High School quarterback in Ohio. He was also a howling success as a book agent. He is the steam, the noise, and the fun of the Senior class. He is a rare speci- men and well worthy studying. Ada Grammar School, l9l l. Bertha is one of our number who although she has never caused a great stir, has shown herself at all times to be a perfect lady, and a faithful student. Not what you call a social butterfly, not a. wonderful scholar, not a greal musician-these 'she is not. What is she? just quiet, genuine, steady, faithful, loyal, and such qualities as mean happiness, enjoyment, and the consciousness of work well done. t 26 Stow High School, l9l4. Ross is one of our superfluous talkers who always has an easy How of language, with ample words to express his thoughts and some to spare. In the classroom he has shown him- self to he a diligent student, an active thinker and an unusually well informed pupil. He to higher fields is destined-in a grander plane his thought, For in Thelma Stopher his every hope is wrought. '

RUTH MAME WOLFLEY Boxwell Graduate, I9l l : New Stark High School, l9l3. No, dear reader, it is not a vision but only the fair features of our friend and classmate Ruth. Ruth is another of those who comes from that wonderfully distinguished and far- famecl place they call New Stark. Ruth possesses wonderful powers as any one will tell you who has seen her exert her wonderful in- fluence over Elliott in Physics class. JULIUS E. BARDELMEIER Antwerp Grammar School, l9l l 3 Antwerp High School,- l9l 3g Defiance Academy, l9l 43 Basket Ball, l9l4-l5. Be not deceived for this exquisitely fine look- ing young gentleman is not half so innocent as his looks would imply. We are sorry that cit- cumstances have prevented our being more closely associated with Julius in High School, as his extra work at the University has kept him away from the building most of the time. As a member of the basket ball team he showed unusual ability, especially when it came to tossing the ball through the ring! 25 DoRo'rHA CANDACE S1NK1-:Y Boxwell Graduate, 19114 Hartford High School, l9l 3. Thou art a woman and that is saying the best and the worst of thee. While Dorotha has never endeavored to make herself conspicu- ous in one way or another, she has been one of the quiet but faithful members of the class Sinkey shows marked scholastic ability, but if we are truthfully informed she aspires to other fields than Scholarship: namely, that of Matrimony.

VERNICE KEMMERLY Boxwell Graduate, l9ll: Wharton High School, l9l 4. Vernice's quiet unassuming manner has lrept us all guessing. She walks about with a digni- fied mien, and attends closely to her own affairs. If some one had heard Vernice laughing boister- ously it would have caused a general alarm. However Vernice always seemed ready to make a recitation, and perhaps her grades would make some of ours look rather small. Yve all join her in the earnest wishes that she will never become a cross old maid. RUTH SINNA TR!-:MAIN Boxwell Graduatei 1911. O saw ye the lass wi' the bonnie blue 'een, l-ler smile as the fairest that ever was seen. Ruth is one of the silent but faithful mem- bers of our classf' She is jolly, good naturecl, and ever ready to do ai favor. She never made a great amount of noise, but then we are told that still waters run deep.
