TROWBRIDGE, J. BERNARD Orchestra ’18 “For the apparel doth oft proclaim the man.” Has the voice of an angel. Is a really, truly village gossip and town tuff. After making his first appearance on the stage is thought to be Douglas Fairbanks’ only rival. “Oh, you little story teller.” VILES, CECIL Class History and Prophecy “There arc people who resemble vaudeville.” Put the voice of Cicero, the hair of Ophelia, the physique of Samuel Johnson and the brains of Emerson together and you will have an exact counterpart of Cecil Yiles. “Where do we go from here, Bennie?” WILLIAMS, HELEN Senior Play Class History and Prophecy She can write more notes in a minute than a normal person can in a day. She tried to tell us the reason that her eye blinked so much, especially when looking at some boy is because it has St. Vitus dance. At one time Helen was mildly interester in a certain style of Chandalier. “Gee, I haven’t studied a bit.” WILLSON, NELL Senior Play “Bright is her face with smiles.” Is easily frightened, almost afraid of her own shadow'. Has a marked interest in Harrison, Ward Co “Who said so?” E. LEONE WAMPLER “This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know vvhat to do writh it.” We congratulate her on overcoming the obstacle and finishing school with a really, truly good class. That proves that she is a brilliant girl. “O, sugar, Mareece.” ■ PAGE THIRTEEN

PRESENTATION SPEECH (Belle Kirby) Friends of the Senior Class: This is an extraordinary year with extraordinary requirements of all of us. Many of the usual customs arc given up entirely or changed to fit the times. And so is the case with us. The Seniors felt that the money resulting from the Class play would be used to a better advantage and perhaps benefit more people if given to the Red Cross. We have given the money to that organization, that noble emblem of human mercy and sympathy, whose symbol is revered wherever it floats. In this great conflict bet wen Democracy and Autocracy it floats fearlessly in the shell-torn trenches, and breathes a breath of hope to the weary men of France, and Belgium. It stands for everything that is noble and sacred to true American hearts. We are leaving, as a record of our gift, this certificate. This will serve in after years to show that we were not neglcct-of our Alma Mater we have in our four years here learned so much to love. It is our wish that you rccongizc in our gift, not to the school, but to the Red Cross, an earnest desire to do the best it is in our power, as a class leaving this high school under the present conditions, to do.
