CARMEN DECKER Special Chorus. We do not know Carmen very well, as he hasn’t been with our class very long but we glory in his perseverance and wish him the best of success in his chosen work. “Not what we wish but what we want Oh. let thy grace supply.” VIOLET PETERS Now, who would have supposed we sheltered an “almost” teacher in our midst? Such is the case because already her career has begun. What will become of all those good-looking clothes when you become a “school inarm,” Violet? “A fcot more light, a step more true. Ne’er from the heath-flower dash’d the dew.” NOLAN RAY C'.as3 Play. What a charming little brother No’.an made in The District Attorney.” Howard was small but mighty in the play, so is the little country lad in true life and he is extremely popular, in school ?nd out. “Nevertheless, whate’er befall. The farmer he must feed them all.” VERNA HARLOW Orchestra. Verna was with us for some time but yet we did not get very well acquainted. However from all reports she is quite popular and jolly when with her host of good friends outside of E. H, S. “I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute.” HARLEY MADDOCK Class Play. Harley sure would be some politician if he would do as well as he did as John Crosby in “The District Attorney.” If anyone ever has any trouble with mustaches, they should consult Harley. “He’s a boy of high and noble aims. But slightly timid when among fair dames.” ADAH EVANS “Sweetie” Class Play, Special Chorus,. Girls’ Chorus. Those who know Adah best, know what a sweet and lovable girl she is, and we discovered dramatic ability when she played the part of Aunt Hattie in “The District Attorney” so well. “I love everything that’s old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.” Page Twenty-one

MARIAN CAMPBELL Class Play, Clio Club, Crescent Staff. As Dorothy in “The District Attorney,” Marian established her fame as an actress. Her good-looking clothes and her “puffs” as out of fashion.” “As good be out of the world are her greatest pride and Oh. how we do like to dance and play cards, but along some lines she is quite wise, too. VELMA GRIFFIN “Thunder” Crescent Staff, Special Chorus, Girls’ Chorus. Velma has been a loyal class member but we really think she was more interested in the class of T9 because of a certain one of its members. Her good qualities are many, among them are neatness, always having good lessons and last but not least her sweet disposition. “She always does her duty, no matter what the task.” DOROTHY HENZE Dorothy is one of our quiet lassies. She is noted for her demure, old-fashioned wavs and for her beautiful curls. Indeed she is quite popular but how could anyone help liking one so sweet? We think she is a man-hater but would not say for sure, ’cause you can’t always tell. “Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind.” DONALD MASSY “Fat” “Don” Editor in chief of Crescent, Class Play, Special Chorus. Don has his faults just as all the rest of us do but nevertheless he is well liked by all and we are sure he will be a great actor because of his experience as Billy Reynolds in ‘The District Attorney ” “Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, And therefore, let’s be merry.” LESTER HELMS “Let” Class Play, President Senior Class, Special Chorus, Crescent Staff. His experience as Bob Kendrick in “The District Attorney” seems to have been very good training for hi3 semi-weekly visits to the country. He is rapidly learning the business of photography and we wish him all success in his new undertakings. “A merrier man I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” ORVILLE PROCTOR A member of that famous “gang” who nightly foregathered in Assembly Room 4. Orville is quite slow' in getting to school but it is rumored that he is everything but slow where other things are concerned. We don’t know much about you Orville, but luck to you wherever you may go. “Better late than never.” Page Twenty

1 OPAL VAN NESS “Shirley” Opal hails from the country. She is quite good looking and a faithful member of the class. Doesn’t have much to say but seems to think a great deal. What her future is to be. none of us can tell, perhaps some little country lad might tell. “Her ways are ways of pleasantness And all her paths are peace.” VERLE CUMMINS Class Play. None of us knew Verle's artistic ability until Reception and then we all realized what a genius we had in our midst, Verle is quite comical and those who haven’t discovered his sense of humor have missed a great deal. “Never elated when one man’s oppress’d; Never dejected while another’s bless’d.” RUTH TROTTER Crescent Staff. Special Chorus, Girls’ Chorus, Clio Club. Ruth will surely be a noted opera singer some day from all present indications. It would be rather dull without her merry peals of laughter and comical grin. - “Happy am I; from care I’m free, Why ar’n’t they all contented like me?” MILDRED OWEN “Milly” Clio Club. Crescent Staff, Our active little “Milly” is always finding something of interest outside the dull routine of studies and certainly no one ever sighs for amusement when she is “nigh.” With it all she is the Latin star and also one of the few to shine in Physics Lab. “Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs. Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes.” MARY MOTT Orchestra. Crescent Staff. Mary, everyone envies your good looking clothes and beautiful golden hair You seem to captivate many but hold none very long at a time. We wonder why? A future artist too, we think. “What is your earliest, latest care. Your heart’s supreme ambition? To be fair.” VIRGIL ACHENBACH “Honey Bee” “Honey Bee” is noted for his speed (?) and as Miss Cox’s shining example of industry. We wonder what would happen if Virgil couldn’t play pool, if he would speed up a little and make a correct recitation all on the same day. What an excuse! “Toil does not come to help the idle.” Pago Twenty-two
