The 192 If. Chameleon RUTH HAVILA N I) In the spring this maiden ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of happy little jingles for our Year Book.

As a private secretary, we know you will prove to be faithful and efficient. Teresa. RUTH H ABASH Pray allow us to introduce Ruthie, able exponent of the art of fashionable dress. Ever try to count her various gowns? Soon gave up, didn ' t you? So did we. We understand a certain teacher calls her “Bright Eyes . No one will dispute the title, for he realizes But h ' s eyes are as a mirror, reflecting her clever brain. RUTH HANSON “ Who is Ruthie ? What is she. That all our swains adore her Her personal charm, enhanced by her bachelor-button blue dress, buttonholes all bachelors; and the blue of her eyes is the prism which catches and holds the sun ' s Bays. J () II N II A RRIN G T () N Of all the boys that are so clever, there ' s none that can compare with our class artist.

JOSEPH KELLEY “Joe is the possessor of some of the sweetest shades of blushes in evidence this season. Although his face is delicate rose at times, we know that inside, he is true blue always. Through thick and thin Joe will ever be your staunch friend. Don’t be doubtful about betting your money on Joe’s being the most dependable fellow in school. Mr. Burke and the hockey enthusiasts will confirm the statement. 18
