JESSIE LEE BUSH Jess and Nellie are the light' of the class. Jess is very modest and coy. for. as Editor-in-Chief she hesitates to assume first place and blushes very becomingly when board meetings are called. She has been known to take a joke seriously. Once a mischievous classmate kindly passed around some fake history test Question. The clai as was indi(ferent---all save Jessie, whose pencil was seen galloping across sheet after sheet of clean white tablet paper Verily a half page was consumed. Later in the history room a blank indescribable expression was observed on Jess' face for somehow her answers didn't fit the questions. She is a pianist of no little ability and for two years has been accompanist for the Gifts' Chorus. , , . ,, Uncertain, coy and hard to please and variable as any shade .. By the light quivering aspen made. A7.RA MARTIN PHIUPPS Azra is a generous little fellow and is well liked by everyone. Just because he is not six feet tall every body picks on him.'

Dutch' is a great German student, in fact that is the only study in which his genius especially shows itself: after one year of German he 'can say Jawohl’’ with perfect ease.

NELLIE VIVIAN De.MOSS Nellie might be an an ter I. but she isn't (or some one uw her whisper once during recitation. She always nets 100 per cent, in deportment and never gets mixed up in scrapes with the rest of us. Nellie never quarrels. never complains, never argues, never talks in the halls, never giggles in the cloak-room, and never does anything wrong. She is just good. So rich within---so pure wilhout-»-art thou. With modest mein and soul of virtue rare. RUBY LEE RUTHERFORD Ruby is a funny somebody. She is just herself and patterns off of no one. She makes the cl ss laughs without half trying but seldom even smiles herself (» “Rube” is short and dumpy, and correspondingly jolly. She is always ready to make suggestions at opportune and inopportune times, and has a wonderful capacity for getting the wrong interpretation of things. Ruby is so fond of her books that she would almost rather miss a recitation than soil their fair white pages. She loves cats and is now mourning for one that was recently scared to death by a small motor boat. “O that this too. too solid flesh would melt. ULA RAY MILLER l-ila is a quiet little lady who comes and goes without any “fuss. She never speaks unless spoken to. and wouldn't do anything wrong for the world.' She has even been known to refuse an opportunity to copy all the questions fora history test! (True but unusual.) Never offers suggestions but is always ready with answers when called upon. In some unusual way, she manages to keep out of all troubles that the other members of the class bring upon themselves. Her looks do argue her replete with modesty. CHARLES A SINSEL RUTH JACKSON
