We enjoy hearing him recite for he learns things so perfectly. Johnny is fully in favor of the Farm Relief Bill and will try to get in Congress to pass it if necessary. He runs around a good deal in his chung-chung and always has some one in it. Johnny dances well, and he likes to talk in his deep, gruffy voice! But when he smiles—oh my cow!

Helen has the softest voice and we all heard it in our class play. But she really won’t have such hard luck as in that role. We all know her dear ways and she makes a lovely friend as many have discovered. Helen is an honor member of the “Select Tongue Waggers” in spite of her quiet appearance.

32 THE GREEN AND WHITE My Name is JAMES McGRATH. “Jimmy” “This all-important creature.” Jimmy, the most important person around this unappreciative school—in his opinion! This little fellow is almost lost in his Nash—one can hardly see him ! But he makes plenty of noise when he rushes around taking care of his base ball team, of which he is the most efficient manager. Jimmy likes to make a hit with the girls and have everyone believe he is the most sophisticated being there is, the way he steps out. He is the standby of the A. P. Stores and sooner or later we expect to find that the new owner of the concern is Jimmy! His pet phrase is : “Oh ! sit down !” He wants to be: A vertical grower. His parking place is in the car. Hear him sing: “It won’t be long now.” His pastime is coming to school.

Roberta certainly has made the typewriter companies sit up and take notice. In other words her efficiency in typewirting has won her many pins. Bertie recently won the highest award the school has ever offered. She and Mary are the school’s “stenogs” and a very good choice indeed! She really is so very shy—but how she makes her fingers fly!

36 THE OREEN AND WHITE My Name is STELLA STEEN. “Stell” “Short and sweet.” Behold our shortest girl! We proudly introduce her to you. But we wonder how she keeps so much wisdom and ability closed up in her small person. She, too, does well in typing, making her small fingers fly! She will go right into business and be a stenographer. Marjorie and she are the best of pals and a fine pair. Good luck, little girl! She has been the Class Treasurer for two years.
