D’cha hear about that, Mac?” FORD, HARRY “Had” Basketball ’18 President A. A. ’18 The time is out of joint.” “Had” can beat Wm. Jennings Bryan at giving speeches before an audience of 250 people. This is evident at “Pep” meetings. We think he would make a good kindergarten instructor as he enjoys being with infants. “Supposin’ H. H. would see you.” GRIFFIN, DALE “Sears” Senior Play Football ’i6-’i7 A foolish, talkative, conceited specimen. Good at killing time in Class. “Let me tell you how.” GRIFFIN, RUTH Class Secretary—Senior Play—Valedictorian Ruth is our only salvation in German troubles.

Has the parlor lights on every night in the week and twice on Sunday ” “How do you spell Willmore?” BOWERS, CLYDE “Boots” “The theory of books is noble.” Needless to say where he got his nickname—just look at his feet. “Vat can I do for you.” BROWN, LACIE After a year's absence, she joined us again in her Senior year We suppose she liked Clinton, that the reason she came back. BROWN, WILFRID “Bill” Class President ’i7-’i8 “Man carries the world in his head.” The most gentlemanly, gentleman in the Class. He likes nothing better than to argue with the teachers.
