James is a fine, tall lad, Who is never the least bit sad. He can work very hard. But play is not barred From the lad who is always glad. I know a girl who ' s a grand athlete. With her no one can compete. With no help from kin, every game she did win. That illustrious girl ' s name Is plain — it ' s just Jane. Celia Smith is so modest and neat, She always endeavors to take a back seat; But she ' s always ready for fun When her work is done. Another girl ' s name is Hurt. We admit she is quite a flirt. In her lessons she gets by. If it does make her sigh. This cute Miss Dicy Hurt. Elbert, a lad of some height, Makes a very grand sight. In English he ' s as busy as a bee. And in his test he got 83 . Here ' s our second base, ' ' Yell Newell, Who wins our ball games for us. As business manager of the teams He ' s quite a marvel, it seems. Such a boy is Yell Newell Nobles. Merlyn, the dear lad, owns a Tin Can That will run along with the best; It has not fenders nor lights. Yet it has its rights To run on West Street. There is a girl who ' s name is Esther, Whom lessons always seem to pester; Yet she generally succeeds. So you can ' t best her. 120 ]

HE class has become better and better each month, not pri¬ marily in school work, but in the personnel of the members. We entered high school in September, 1920, a small class, but as the months passed and we became Sopho¬ mores, other members joined us, and now we think that ours is the best class in school. Miss Alice Grace Yordi joined us in the latter part of the Freshman year, and so did Isabelle Murray. Merlyn Pearce and Yell Nobles were next, and then James Rutherford, Merlyn ' s cousin. Dicy Hurt is the most recent addition of all. It is hard to predict exactly what will happen in the future, but if Merlyn Pearce should become a satirist or a literary critic it would not surprise us much. No one would be astonished to hear that Isabelle Murray had risen to the literary field and is a genius at fiction. As for Alice Grace Yordi, about the only thing large enough for her to undertake would be the presidency of the United States. We all hope some day to buy our groceries at Nobles Gib¬ bons’ chain of corner groceries. Jim will provide our children with entertain¬ ment as the Hoot Gibson or the Bill Hart of the future. Dicy we expect will either be a wife or proprietor of a confectionery store, a dancer or manager of a telephone system. Jane Abetty will probably be the owner of the Kleiser Advertising Service, and divide her time between this and her hobbies, motor boating and radio; or else she will be the first woman race driver. Jane and Celia most likely will be stenographers or owners of farms and help to bring fame to Cloverdale, while Ben will be our corner druggist or the henpecked janitor of the high school. Famous Juniors There is a young lady named Alice Who bears not a bit of malice. Neither in Algebra tests Nor in English she rests, That bright young lady named Alice. [ 19 ]
