has a faculty of getting others to cooperate with him. Carrol, we are glad you came back to graduate. “Boys, ch beys! I tell you there isn’t any wood and I can’t get up any more steam!” That is Elmer Henderson’s side of the story as you meet him coming from the heating nlant. Elmer can certainly sell books. He has made two scholarships since being here in school. He is tall, erect, quiet, dependable. You ask his name? I am speaking of Justin Sandness who has spent one year at Auburn. He is an honor roil student in chemistry class. Not very short, in fact rather tall, But fair and square and liked by all— That’s Rachel Sparhawk. “Rae” is one :i our jolly seniors who comes from Auburn each morning. A good booster for Auburn Academy is Vernon Johnson. He knows how to build fires and how to cook, for on class picnics he has more than done his part. Talking Spanish is his hobby. She is such a bashful little Miss! We loved to see her smile and often wondered just how much relief she found biting the index finger of her left hand at certain in¬ tervals. Eileen Ingersoll’s sunny disposition has won our hearts. We shall miss her next year. “The library is open,” said Jean, “I’ll be back in a moment and help you find the book.” Jean MacGregor is the editor of our annual and we are proud of her. She has won her way into every heart with her sweet voice and quiet, charming manner. “You say you didn’t get your laundry back this week? Now, isn’t that too bad!” Ruth Clark immediately promises to help you find it. She has certainly had a part in keeping our clothes clean this year. Edith Walch, a village student, spent her entire four years at Auburn Academy. She is ever ready to help in school activities and we lose a real friend and a good stu¬ dent when she leaves us. Eleanor Curtis is a quiet scholar. She finds few moments to idle away, and she takes a great interest in her school work. She is an honor roll student, active in prayer bands, and a faithful M. V. secretary. When you are looking for someone to do real thinking, to solve a mathematical problem, to ' use a lot of common sense, Ralph Gustin will be of service to you. Ralph can play the cornet, too. On Monday afternoon you will find Austin Sears busily working on his physics laboratory experiments. When we think of Austin, we think of these lines: “His life runs calm and serene Unchanged by the adverse winds that blow.” Do you mean the big fellow with the black curly hair? That is Otis Branson who came to us from Montana. He has been business manager of the annual. Otis’s chief hobby is being late to afternoon classes. To know him is to know high erected thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy. Naomi’s originality is never exhausted. She propounds new ideas for her friends continually. The proverbial Griffin dignity enables her to be master of all situations. Her avocation is ringing bells, playing a cornet in the orchestra, and taking worship records. ei 21 } o

.© s “The Associated Students of Auburn Academy will please come to order.” Can t you just see Benny da Silva, our worthy president, as he speaks? He is a man exactly fitted to his task. How the student body sings the school song as he directs them! Ben¬ ny is a monitor on first floor in Casa Loma. A very energetic worker in the annual campaign was Dorothy Motsinger. A more faithful Sabbath school secretary, it would be hard to find. Good nature, grace, and dignity doth she possess. Waldo Roberts is our promising young scientist. He uses big words and does things with test tubes. Sometimes he assists Mrs. Aplington in the chemistry class. Waldo, we think of thee as an honor roll student, a loyal friend, and a mighty man. “Is there something I can do for you?” says our smiling clerk, lone Wood, as vou enter the store. Her name is always one of the first to be read on the honor roll. Wor¬ ship time finds lone promptly in her place at the piano ready to play the opening song. She believes a sense of humor is the salt of the earth; she is fond of dill pickles and insists that the clock must have beenslow. Who? It is none other than Carmen Grandy. These lines remind us of her: “In all thy humors whether grav e or mellow Thou art such a pleasant lassie, Hast so much of wit about thee There is no living without thee.” Seventeen—twenty-three—thirty-seven cents—whew! That checker knows how to check. But my dinner must have cost that for Peggy Benson said so, and Peggy is always right. That isn’t all we remember Peggy for—she is a very efficient office girl and breakfast cook. It you want some one to make something in the woodwork shop, to collect Asso¬ ciated Students dues, to give a reading, to preach a sermon, or to lead an M. V. society, call on our class president, Reginald DeVice. “Is there any more business to be brought before the house?” asks Grace Nickols, president of the Regina Improvement club. Grace knows how to correct papers and she is the prize Spanish II student. Girls, what will you do for finger waves next year when Grace is gone? Helen Sandwick never fails to get our absences down on the absence list and how she laughs at us when we are sent out for free labor! Helen, these lines fit you. “Tell me,” said Helen, “what may be The difference between a clock and me? “Helen,” I cried, “Love prompts my powers To do the task you’ve set them. A clock reminds us of the hours You cause us to forget them.” “The Best in Woodwork” is Charlie Stover’s motto. When not studying you will find him busy with hammer and saw in our wood working department. If you want a poem, see Charlie. Carrol Lyman can play a trombone, or a saxophone, or he can direct if you wish. If you are downhearted he can smile and you will smile too. As a club president he e| 20}®
