RICHARD MlL.Es-'-Dick English. The good reader maketh the good book. Dick is the star student of the class. being unusually studious, and if he Wishes, he can boast of being a speed typist. He has just lately learned to dance and is very fond of the sport. He is a very good musician and has belonged to many orchestras including the High School orchestra. His ability as a pianist has helped out many a class party. He has a decided bump of humor and a true musicians temperament, but still that doesn't keep him from being a strong follower of the Ouija board. Richard was W'illiam , the leading man in Jane, fl GRACE HUFFMAN - 55174. English. I am a part of all that I have met. Grace was one of the last ones to join our class, but, if last. surely not the least. She has been very well liked by all and an appreciated and active member. VVe Wish we could have made her acquaintance sooner. She, Loiuisle Decker and the Bug have caused many a sensation around the sc oo. HAROLD LONGACRE- Shorty English. It was no children's game. Shorty is the athlete', of the class, having won six letters, his first three in football and his last three in basketball. He is a hard player. as many of the linemen of the teams Elkhart has played with. will tell you. Though at times a. little rough in basketball, he was, nevertheless, a tower of strength to the defense of the team. Papa was our Treasurer in our IIA term.

Miss Burns has been an invaluable pilot and a splendid companion throughout the last three years of our hectic High School journey. She took up the reins at the start of our Sophomore year, and not being content with merely guiding us very capably, she has even taken the halter in hand and helped over all the rough spots in the road. Berneeta is a good sport at class parties and excursions, and we never suffered from want of excitement when she was on deck, which she always was. VVe hate to give her up now, but we hope the next class which is lucky enough to engage her for their guiding spirit will be as apprecia- tive of her faithfulness and help as we have been. CHARLES BARGER- Charlie Industrial. They call me cruel-hearted, but I care not what they say. Staunch and steady are the two words that characterize Charlie. He has done much in our four years in High School to make our class a success. He has held many prominent otfices, being President ID, Treas- urer ICg Vice-President IIC, and President IIA. The Barger home, always open and ready, has been the scene of many enjoyable parties. Charles has also been prominent as an athlete, being on the Varsity Basketball and Football teams during 1921. He has made a name for himself as an actor when he played Claude in the Junior Class play Jane , In short, Charlie is an all-around good scout. ALBERT ENGELHARDT- Perk Latin. Perk was the live-wire of the class, ever ready to entertain with his so-called sensical nonsense. In IA he was chairman of the Social Committee and in IIA he was Vice-President. He will also be remembered as a good football player, receiving an in both 1920 and 1921. He never has time to talk b'ut is always in a rush to meet the young lady whose bright eyes rain influence. Pl-lYl.l.ls MAHN- Pam or Phil Q College Preparatory Latin. Worth, courage, honor-these indeed your sustenance and birthright are. Phil was really one of the most active members the class can boast of. Her home was always open to the class for parties and they were always glad to go there. In ID and IID she was Chairman of the Social Committee and in IIA she was Secretary of the class. She was Literary Editor on the Pennant Staff several terms and contributed Poems regularly to the paper during her four years in school. Pam was the leading lady in the IA class play Jane .

K Page Twenty-two JOHN STAHR- Johnnie College Preparatory Latin. He capers, he dances, he has the eyes of youth. Johnnie was one of the live-wires of our class all through High School. VVhen all other forms of amusements failed, he was always ready and will- ing to amuse the bunch by one of his clever little vaudeville acts. Not only did the class affairs find him active but he always shone in Athletics. He won a football monogram in 1919 and in 1921 an For the last year he has been Athletic Editor of the Pennant, also Athletic Editor of the Annual, and received an for his work in journalism. Jawn is also an actor, having taken the part of Mr. Pixton in Jane . We don't know of anything he dislikes, but, like the rest of us, he fully understands and enjoys Emerson's Essays. EDITH THOMPSON English. A 'O, blessed with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow as cheerful as today. Edith is a shy, demure little miss. Around school she is usually found with Marjorie, smiling, but seldom saying a word. It is always Edith who has a cheerful word for one when everything goes wrong, and it is she who comes to the rescue when you get in a tight pinch with lessons. Class parties usually find her there and we predict a happy life for the man who is lucky enough to win her. ' ROLLIN WILLIAMS- Chub Industrial. Silence is wisdomg I am silent then. ' Rollie, although rather quiet, was found to be really funny at times. At most any time in the day Chub could be seen in the Session trying to get the juice out of juicy-fruit , as George Lutz has so 'aptly expressed it. He is a great follower of sports and was a star football player during the season of 1921. Rollin can usually be found at the Y. M. C. A. -l O , i' I DOROTHEA TlLLMAN-- TilIy - .5-A -'- - MLS Commercial. Sensibility is the power of woman. Dorothea shines in commercial work, in which she is specializing. Al- thought she never took a very active part in class affairs she could always be relied upon to sell her share of tickets for the benefits and to donate some goodies for the bake-sales. At the class parties she made less noise than the rest of us but we all knew that she was there. lVe don't imagine that she are the kind that would stay an old maid, so here's wishing her the right man n'everything. IRVI N PALMER-- Pilgie Commercial. You were born for something great. l'ilgic is a re,f:ular hack-to-nature gentleman. He is very fond of all sorts of out-door sports and is an active Scout XYorker. XVe are told that ho is a pinochle shark and ready to meet all champions. He has received a diploma for his ability as a typist. He is a very diligent student and has been one of the regular people.
