Senior pictures BENSON, HELEN C. “The bee has nothing on her, she buzzes incessantly. Have you heard the rumor about Helen? Nothing to it she says. 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. At one time he had a special interest in the Freshman Class. “I don’t see it that way.” CLARK. IRVIN Orchestra T8 “It is better to be a good listener than a good talker.” A famous paper thief. He doesn’t say much but just the same don’t try and “slip one over” on him, he has big hands. “Gimmic’ a pin.” DAVIS, BERNICE “Beany” Orchestra One of the members of our Class who thanks her “Lucky Stars” that the Traction System saw fit to connect Maroa and CBnton. “Beany” is some fiddler.

DAVIS, LOUISE “Sissy” Senior Play Her hair resembles that of the fair Ophelia’s. Isn’t afraid of snakes. “I would I were a boy.” DRAPER, WILLIAM “Bill” Glee Club, Football ’i6-’i7. ‘‘Bill’ is a great warbler. His pet phrase is “I don’t care.' Is the receiver of many “comps” from the side lines. “Call in the dog.” FISHER, BEATRICE “Beachy” Senior Play “Beachy” is truly a Fisher, not for fish but for high grades with little work. 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. Nothing ever happens without Ruth’s hand in it. Can you find a bettei record any place than she has made in old C. H. S.? “Oh, Lewis, you arc such a bad boy.” PAGE EIGHT
