Claire comes from the backwoods country of Westminster but she s far from being a hick. Besides being one of the smartest girls in our class, she is also one of the most cheerful. The class wishes her success, and knows she’ll find it, in whatever occupation she may choose. Ll’DGER TOUSSAINT General “Ludgie” “ For why should life all labor be” If you hear a deep voice boom out a “hello behind you, you II probably find it’s “Ludgie.” Before and after school, you can usually find “Ludgie” hanging around the telegraph office doing anything from washing windows to singing telegrams.

T HE SAMP L E R 2 3n iflentorp of !Hlan Cftapin iflerrill icllan Cfiaptn itlcrnll God says that we may live; No demands lie makes imperative. We may take life among the lowly things. Or raise it 'til its glory rings. Some make life an epic of courage. Some know not the word “discourage”, Through difficulties they stay the same. Undaunted, unbroken by life’s great game. Until at last, when they are gone. The memory of that courage still lives on!
