“Of what shall a man be proud if he is not proud of Ms friends?” — Stevenson. ROSE ALEXANDER Rose very cleverly dresses her hair to correspond with the standard of her lessons. Indeed, we wonder how she places a hat on such a high coiffure. In basketball, she excels, having won both class numerals and letters in that sport. She acted as captain of her team while in the Junior Class. BARBARA GREELISH Poor Barbara’s greatest trial is the taming of her curly locks. As this takes time, and Barbara has none be- tween her arrival and the beginning of school, the afore- said locks have their own sweet way. Perhaps this is fortunate, for they hide her blushing embarrassment in English. Barbara is very reserved and shy in school, but once she steps outside, she sheds that atmosphere like a cloak and reveals a spirit full of life and bubbling over with fun. RALPH BRASSILL “Ralphie” is our “Dapper Dan.” It isn’t necessary to see Ralph’s face to know of his proximity; his cravats loudly proclaim his arrival before his freckled countenance comes into view. But Ralph’s good qualities are many. He is very popular, a good student, and especially profi- cient in all phases of athletics. PAULINE CURTIS They say that fat people are lazy. Therefore, we are inclined to think that our energetic Pauline is not fat. If you want to start something, dx-op a hint to Pauline. It is her hobby. But the best of it is, she will stay to the finish. Not only is Pauline capable in this line, but in singing and writing also. With her untiring enthusiasm and vigor, she wall surely win her way in the world. [ 26 ]

Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem ” ANNIE BRODERICK Bright! That surely is Annie — in English anyway. She is always bright and happy, till things don’t go just right. She spends her fifth periods noisily — typewriting. Her ambition is to be a secretary, so, girls, beware, or you will lose your anticipated positions. ALICE WHEELER We have welcomed this brilliant P. G. into our class with great pleasure, for her many admirable qualities and con- genial personality make her an agreeable friend. Alice excels in all her studies, too, and we are sure that with her character and ability, she will be an unusual success in the world. BERNECE COX Here is our sunny Bernece, sunny in disposition and i:. looks. Not only is she a gloom dispeller, but a very handy young person. Among her various accomplishments are those of tending chil dren, making excellent fudge, and keeping house. Bernece says she is a poor cook, and be- cause of this, she fears she will lack a husband. Don’t worry, Bernice, there are many men who can afford a cook. We must not forget to mention this young lady’s ability in dramatics which has been shown in more than one of our school plays. FRANCES PREBLE Never mind, Frances, even if you are always late. What do you care? As long as you don’t woi ' ry about it, why should anyone else? Even though you are rarely on time, it is always better late than never, isn’t it? With your happy-go-lucky way, “Fran,” you will have friends wher- ever you go. [25]

Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem.’’ MARGARET COOK Margaret Cook appears to be a quiet member of the class, but to those who know her, she is very talkative and full of jokes. Wherever she may be, there is always a smile on her face. “Be accommodating,” is her motto. There is always a smile and a “Yes” when she is asked to do some favor. ANNA RICHARDSON Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First, his Cromwell; but Edmund Burke, his Anna. She may be very quiet and demure, but she surely gets results. But Burke is not the only one whom she has conquered— Noah Webster must soon resign himself to his fate, for all his secrets will be known by Anna. In sewing, too, she is renowned, for w r e have been informed that she is a clever little seamstress. ARTHUR TIBBALS Just like this fellow to hike all the way from Los Angeles just in time to become a member of the Class of ’22. Lady Luck is his boon companion; autos are his hobby, and the subject of many a long one-sided discussion. Let him sell you one. It is worth the money to hear his line — he’ll tell you anything! Arthur ranks only second to William Loumos in the use of grandiloquent language, and indeed we are told he sometimes soars to the realm of poetry. As for brilliancy, “Tib” shines above the neck, speaking both figuratively and literally. PAULINE STRONG It is well known that Pauline’s name coincides with her physique, for she, the daughter of Hercules, has often saved the class reputation in gymnastics. On the other hand, perhaps Pauline is not exactly a strong student. Never-the-less, we expect that the strong mind acknowl- edged to be hers, after a strong will power has been de- vloped, will develop its strong powers of reasoning, so we shall have a strong impression of the strong character of Pauline Strong.
