MARCIA SNEED “Sneedy” Orchestra. Crescent Staff. Debating Club. Clio Club. No one in our class can compare with Marcia in brilliancy and the number of E’s she somehow manages to carry away each six weeks. She is a royal entertainer. as everyone who has ever been there will avow. Her jolly brown eyes are the very symbol of sincerity. She displayed her ability as a play-writer in the playlet given at the Senior Reception, but Oh, What a Temper! ARTHUR KEEVER “Keever” Foot Ball. Basket Ball. Crescent Staff, Special Chorus. Keever is one of the bright spots in our class. No one knew he had great talent as a lecturer but from the ease that he displayed as he gave his illustrated lecture on the storage cell, we are sure he will appear before the public as an expert lecturer at some future date. “And when a lady’s in the case, You know all other things give place.” MARCELLA KOONS Special Chorus, Girls’ Chorus, Class Flay, Clio Club, Crescent Staff. • v What would E. H. S. and the class of ’20 have been without our beloved Marcella? She. the daintiest, the sweetest and prettiest of all the Seniors. We think she has captivated one of the Juniors, too. What think you of that? “All her faults are such that one foves her still the better for them.” NELLIE McKOWN Nellie is one of those girls that you always know are around by the noise they make, even though you can’t see them. She is quite jolly, a member of that never-to-be-forgotten bunch of the Northeast corner of Assembly 4 and a typical minister’s daughter. “Ez to my princerples. I glory In havin’ nothin’ o’ the sort.” DAVID EDMONDS “Dave” Da,ve loved to argue Physics with his teacher but they never seemed to get anywhere with their arguments. We never heard him say very much outside of class but you can’t always sometimes tell about these people for they say that still waters run deep. “The glorious privilege Of being independent.” IRENE MULLEN “Mully” Yes, she is rather small but what a lot of mischief she gets into. Another of that crowd, into which no new ones could enter, that stuck so close together in Assembly Room 4, the Fall semester of this year. We hear she has quite a case. Who could it be? “A little mischief by the way, Is fun to spice each day.” Page Seventeen

AGNES SINGER “Sport” Class Play, Orchestra, Crescent Staff, Vice President Senior Class. A pair of eyes that seem to speak—of mischief and of fun. the liveliest joke editor one could imagine and a true friend to all. all this in one little girl. As Peggy in “The District Attorney. she proved her ability on the stage. “The very room, coz she was in. Seemed warm from floor to ceiling. DEAN PALMER “Deanie Class Play, Crescent Staff. Deanie is famous for his sleek, dark hair, stylish clothes and diamond ring. His polished manners would captivate many of the fairer sex and indeed seems to have taken complete possession of one of the under-classmen. “The frivolous work of polished idleness” GRETCHEN SWINDELL Clio Club, Class Play, Crescent Staff. And here we have our Gretchen, Gretchen just joined us this year but she won us all at first sight with her rougish eyes and cheery smile. As Beverly, in The District Attorney” she showed us what a splendid actress she would make but we think she has something more interesting in view, from all appearances. “Is she not more than painting can express. Or youthful poets fancy when they love?” ALDEAN WARD “Jim” Jimmie came from the rough and hilly southern part of Indiana and brought some of their ways with her but she has shed them now and is a true Elwood-ite. However, we are sorry to say she has lost her heart, and doesn't care to find it. “All human race, from China to Peru, Pleasure, howe’er disguis’d by art. pursue.” ARTHUR BERTRAM Orchestra. Arthur sure is an artist when it comes to fiddling the fiddle. He hasn’t been with us very long but nevertheless we sure are glad he came when he did, for everyone likes him very much. ’”1 charm the air to give a sound. While you perform your antics round.” PERN KINSEY Special Chorus, Girls Chorus, Crescent Staff. Fern, a member of that jolly crowd which has so many good times, which can be found loitering in the halls at 3:30. Fern, who never gets excited over anything and beloved by all. “The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed. And ease of heart her every look conveyed,” rage Sixteen

MARY DUNCAN “Snooks” Snooks Is one of those midwinter graduates and she sure was missed by her many friends after she left. We are not sure just what her future will be, because—well, she is a little doubtful herself. “Begone, dull Care! I prithee begone from me! Begone, dull Care! Thou and I shall never agree.” LOUIS HENDERSON “Tubby-’ Football. Louis is one of the burly members of the class. It’s a good idea to step out of the way when you see him coming, as he was our star tackle and he might be practising. He’s quite jolly but no ladies’ man, we hear “He trudg’d along unknowing what he sought, And whistled as he wfent, for want of thought.” MIRIAM LYST “Mini” Girls’ Chorus, Special Chorus. Miriam doesn’t say much until you get acquainted with her, but Oh, Boy, what a good time you can have then. We think from all appearances she will be a school teacher, but—who can tell? “A rosebud set with little wilful thorns, And sweet as English air could make her, she.” HELEN FERGUSON “Fergy” Special Chorus, Girls’ Chorus. Helen is another of our good songsters. She could never stand it to get in more than five seconds before the bell rings but take warning Helen, you had one narrow escape, the next will be a calamity. “She that was ever fair and never proud. Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud ” PHILIP LOCK, “Phil” Basket Ball, Crescent Staff, Debating Club, Clio Club. Phil has been with us all during our High School days even though he does hail from the southern part of the state. Some basket ball forward and a ladies’ man to boot. He sure is a History star that always shinetli. “He that complies against his will Is of his own opinion still.” BEULAH PUGH Special Chorus, Girls’ Chorus. Beulah is another one of these future “school inarms.” We all think she is entirely too cheerful for the usual teacher, but we know the “kids” who get her will be ucky. Sh p isn’t 4a. native Hoosier, but we are mighty glad she’s with us now. anyway. “She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or despise.” l'ape Eighteen
