CENTER Winnie is that tall, stocky fellow you sce entering sehool every morning with a news' paper in his pocket. He seems to have a :nania for news, because in the home-room period, just before the tirst period, you can always see Vt'innie reading his paper. Every- one else is taking one last look at his studies before the hell rings, but Venter spurns tht- books for the news of the world.

Any girl in the school would give hor right hand to possess them. but to date only one fair lady seems to have come anywhere near that, and she possesses the owner rather than the locks. t'liaupiu always seems carefree and gay: he apparently has that faculty, possessed by many. of romplctely ignoring the more sordid details of life, especially such things as studies.

PAUL BUULOS You've got a line ambition, Paul! and if you study like you have in high school, you'll get there all right. Paul is one of the greatest students of the class, always going from some- where to somewhere else in an awful hurry, He always has that frenzied look on his face of one who has a day's work to do and only an hour in which to do it. But Paul gets it done, whether it's French, or Latin fthat's where he shinesl. or Math. ARNOLD T.

I. CLINTON CHRISTIAN 4 Every afternoon when Clint comes hack to make np work, he always has his saxaphone strap hanging around his neck. He is very well advanced in the art of music, and it has been said that he can play a large assortment 'Tlint' lilies to spend a warm of instruments. summer's afternoon on a cool porch with his beloved Like and an audience. Also, he is a very studious young man in mechanical draw- ing. where he is doing: advanced work pertain- ing to large huildings. E. MICREDITH CHUTE Med is one of the metnlmers of our hand. VVhen the hand received its new uniforms, he swelled visibly, WK'hen he donned his uniform and stalked majestically down to Bayside Park, without glancing either to the right or to the left, he was a haughty hgurc. Whenever Med is in uniform, he is proud and unapproachahle, hut when he is in civies, he is his own hap- py-ifo-lucky, cheerful self. ELMER CLARK VVe are surprised and somewhat disappointed to discover that '4Clarkie's ambition is to he a successful business man, Elmer has been such a permanent fixture in our band and orchestra that we expected him to follow the musical profession.
