THE ROUNDUP Polly Marble Bristol Say, who took that emotional part in the Junior play in ' 22 ? Polly Bristol. Well, it certainly was superbly and intelli- gently portrayed. Of course, it was — Polly does things that way ! And thoroughness is another feature of Polly. We do not exactly know how to de- scribe her, except that — well, she ' s the kind of girl you like to meet. It is a real pleasure to talk to her or to have her talk to you. And for charm of manner — but we don ' t need to say more. Put all her attributes together and you have Polly. And Polly ' s just Polly. We ' re sure glad we met her and have known her for four years ! General Course ; Girls ' League Representa- tive (1, 2) ; Senior Dramatics ; The Correct Thing (2); Prince Chap (3); The Neigh- bors (4) ; Merely Mary Ann (4). Norma G. Clem This demure young lady has followed the banner of ' 23 faithfully and quietly, leaving the spectacular achievements to others. From Bunny ' s first appearance she has been the envy of her classmates whenever a piano is around. Did you ever hear her play? Simply wonderful. When she fully awakens to her accomplishmenuts, the wall of bashful re- serve, behind which she retires in moments of embarrassment, will vanish. She is an ar- dent student of languages — especially French. N ' est-ce-pas. Norma?

Kilroy Oh, here we have the noble Alexus, the Idle of the King — -eh — Alexander ? His chief pastime — the gentle art of doing nothing. In fact it is his trump card. He has the knack of making friends and is a hard work- er — when there is no work to be done. Bluf- fing is somewhat like poetry in that men must be born with an aptitude for it. Killey was born that way. His ability as an artist is known far and wide, and many of his best known works of art will be left on the desks of the school for his wondering successors to gaze upon. General Course; Cartoonist for Roundup (4). Rachel Margaret Fairfull A fair flower from the prairie near Stock- ett, as happv and free as the day is long. If Rachel were as assiduous in pleasing the teachers as she is in following up her other hobbies, she would certainly win a place among those mythical, incomprehensible Hon- or Ten of her class. Her Amazonian stature leads us to believe that if it were a question of to fight or not to fight, she would fight, and there is no doubt as to who would be the victor. Ray says we aren ' t made to be good in this world — but we try to be. General Course. Entered from Centerville High School (3). 1923 twcnty-tv.o

THE ROUNDUP Walter William Seltzer Walt does not operate a publicity bureau ; he does not need one. After he broke into fame by acting Peyton in The Prince Chap, ' all the femmes in the school thought him the best- loo king: thing. But he paid no atten- tion to this, got himself down to work, and just sails on, oblivious to fate or woman He ' s even able to fool the faculty, which is .more than most of us can do. Everything Promo does, he does well, and he does every- thing.

Cora Olsox Cora is something of a philosopher, for hei outlook on this somewhat disappointing life is that to have definite aims, to work hard and diligently, to sacrifice silently, and to have joy all along the path, not forgetting the human touch, is the sure road to success. And then as an afterthought she adds, Some bonks ars to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few have to be really chewed, but be careful what you eat. Her high grades in stenography and typewriting hint at a high salary in the business world. General Course. Entered from Dodson High (2) ; Glee Club (4). Margaret Ward How she has acquired the ability to keep her numerous homos faithful and happy has always been a mystery to us — perhaps it is because she has practised long and diligently. She has been biased by the gods with a beauty rare and exceptional. There is an aristocratic shade in her manner, but it would be hard to misconstrue it as exclusiveness, as it is so plainly a near relative of shyness and is so well carried. Peggy ' s is a quiet personality, and she has a frankness among girl friends that is to be envied. General Course; Hi-Life Staff (2); Party Committee (2) ; Roundup Day Program (4). Robert H. Wilson To speak truth, he has not distinguished himself by remarkable feats in athletics, in club work, or in the recitation halls, but he has been an excellent classmate, participating in and affording much amusement. He owns to a mild, unobtrusive personality but among his own kind he is genial and friendly. We recall, in connection with Bob, wild days of frivolity in Junior chemistry, which unfor- tunately ended disastrously at the end of the second semester, but which were a lot of fun while they lasted. Helpful in time of need, sympathetic in time of Brief, loyal to a cause, a little careless, a trifle lazy, a bit intolerant — just a good example of the average high school boy.

THE ROUNDUP Charlotte Irene Fairpull Ever to be remembered in the annals of local history is the day when modest, demure Charlotte, our Lady of Dexterity, descended the steps of the Belt daily to continue her search for knowledge on a higher plane. In one hand was her carpet bag, in the other, a De Luxe copy of The Biography of Benja- min Franklin from which she may have re- ceived an inspiration for her cheerful and companionable nature. She, like Miss Nancy in Silas Marner, has all the attributes of a lady — a high veracity, delicate honor in her dealings, deference to others, and refined per- sonal habits. General Course. Entered from Centerville High School (3). Hugh John L. Bergold Tickets ! Tickets I Here ' s where you get your tickets ! This is the cry which has greeted us throughout our Senior year and which has made of its producer the champion ticket seller of the school in football as well as in the Roundup campaign. Joe Matteueci ' s best grade of olive oil is used to give the ap- pearance of a patent leather covered head, but when the Italian product is unavailable he resorts to the home-made, which is a hair- raising mixture of pomade, vaseline, lard, and (except in times of famine ) butter. Tiny ' s a plague o both houses, but G. F. H. S. re- joices to call him its own. General Course; History Club (2, 3); Glee Club (4); Prince Chap (3); Boys ' Club (2, 3) : Manager for Sale of Football and Basket- ball Tickets (4) ; Hi-Life (3) ; Committee Roundup Subscriptions (4). Lenore Elizabeth Bettens Sweet, gentle, demure, Lenore is a true ex- ample of what a girl should be. There have been many things of benefit to the school which have had their beginning in Lenore ' s fertile brain or had her fingers mixed up in them. She is a real pusher, a real sport in everything she undertakes, and some sprinter at that, for she keeps just a little ahead of the best long distance runner in school. General Course; Glee Club (2) ; Prom Com- mittee ; Party Committee ( 1 ) ; Junior Com- mittee (3). Irene O. Hober One look at those black eyes and that per- fectly marcelled hair makes us think of Gloria Swanson, stepping out of her Pierce Arrow. Irene isn ' t a movie actress — not yet— but per- haps one day we shall see her name in electric lights, flashing on the busy streets of Sand Coulee. Blackie would most likely say with Kipling, I ' ve taken my fun where I ' ve found it ; but would go Kipling one better and add that when she didn ' t find it, she manufactured it. We can ' t say anything with regard to her faults ; for, although she may have some, we can ' t find any one to sav anything against her.
