THE ROUNDUP Anna Marie Uychak Close acquaintance with Anna leads one to wonder if, perhaps, she isn ' t the reincarnation of some immemorial celebrity — Joan of Arc, perhaps. She conducts herself with a quiet dignity that is the despair of mere Common Clay ; yet she is most democratic. Her brains and talents are the envy of all who know her, but still she remains ignorant of her worth. Ignorance is bliss — true — but Socrates says, Know thyself. And now, though Anna ' s peace of mind be disturbed, she at least knows our excellent opinion of her. General Course. Entered from Belt High School (3); Business Club (3). Lillian Alice Carlson Is the average high-school studant willing to work unselfishly for his class ? Unselfish effort is a rare and great virtue, but here ' s an exponent above the average. She ' s had love affairs of more or less magnitude, al- though at present she seems untroubled and happy, but there is a rumor. You just can ' t keep track of her. Her scholarship is very good, for she has brains enough to use con- sistently the brains she has. No noticeable faults, except a little affectedness of manner, which, however, is so slight and so appropri- ate as to be very unobtrusive. General Course ; Secretary Girls ' Forum (3); Student Council (3) ; Glee Club and Cho- rus (1, 2) ; Photographic Editor Roundup (4); Girls ' Forum (2, 3): Chairman Prom Committee: The Correct Thing (2); The Prince Chap (3) ; Merely Mary Ann (4) ; The Neighbors (4). Melvin Rude Mel is one of those quiet, studious chaps, who, with his inexhaustible fund of good humor, has accomplished really worth while things in our school. He is one who does not believe in advertising, and we never hear him say a single word about himself, what he has done, or what he expects to do. Yes, Skinny is a mighty fine fellow. With his ability to put things over, he is sure to become an im- portant Something, Sometime, Somewhere. Commercial Course. Esther Elerine La Voie Esther came all the way from Pierre to go to old Great Falls High. She has not been with us long, but she has entered into the spirit of G. F. H. S. from the very first. The good fairy smiled kindly upon Esther, for she gave her two priceless gifts : One is a discern- ing mind ; the other, the art of flooding the lives of those about her with sunshine. Re- freshingly amusing, delightfully exciting, ex- ceptionally entertaining — that ' s Esther, just like a good book. General Course. Entered from Pierre, South Dakota, High School (4). l 923 twenty-five

THE ROUNDUP Robert- Edward Lownby Bob is one of our bright young fellows. He made the course and got his diploma in only two years, the other two being spent at home in bed. He has always been the pride of the math classes ; and no triangle, pentagon, hexagon, or any other gon can get away from him alive. He is thorough in whatever he does ; and we expect that Bob, with this thoroughness, combined with his natural lika- bleness, will land near the top of the ladder some time. He gets what he wants and he wants what he gets. Scientific Course; Glee Club (1); Class Party Committee (21. Mabel Maud Johnson Mabel is the original little Lady of Fash- ion. Her nifty clothes and winning ways will be missed by all those who have known her and have basked in the sunshine of her smile. She is pointed out to strangers as that smil- ing-faced, sunny-dispositioned phantom of de- light, one of the number of whom Virgil has written, Varium et mutabile semper femina. This young lady invites the collective love of the class. Kindliness, friendliness, and energy win popularity, and Twin possesses all these characteristics. G.neral Course. Entered from Butte High (2); Class Vice-President (4); Glee Club and Chorus (4); Prom Committee; Girls League Party (3, 4); Party Committes (2, 3). 1 1 %•-- ' ■ Beulah Jeanette La Mere Smooth, shining black hair, and eyes which hold all the mysteries of a Midsummer Night ' s Dream. No one is more earnest than Toots when she tackles a job, but she is very loath to choose anything to tackle. Although no feminine Hercules in stature, she has used what height she possesses to good advantage on the basketball floor and demonstrated her athletic prowess on the championship team which beat Mt. Angelus. General Course; Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Senior Announcement Committee. Francis Barth He accomplishes more with less effort than any man known, but the word hurry is a minus quantity in his vocabulary. He is not a model boy, for he has two weaknesses — ice cream and girls. He has gone ' in for luxur- ious simplicity from his costumes to his hab- its. His favorite activity is rolling the square marbles and his favorite food is anything. All frivolity aside, there are few men who exceed him in capability, straightforwardness, and good common sense.

THE ROUNDUP Marie Isabel Kerxaghan How do we know Marie is Irish? Just look at that last name with its nine perfectly good letters of the alphabet put together in such a way that it can ' t be other than Irish. And not only her name — but her speech, her laugh, her freckles, her inconsistency, her spiritual- ity, her materiality, her versatility, and her humor — Irish all. Before seeing her face you might take her to be a Frosh, but when you see that broad forehead and slight trace of a Mona Lisa smile, you know she ' s nothing short of a Senior. General Course; Swimming Club (1). Eugene Fletcher Scrutinize this face very closely, my friends, for by hard study alone is one enabled to ap- preciate the artistic expression depicted there- on. The ordinary individual cannot discern this virtue without the aid of a pair of binoculars, but we of the finer perceptibilities readily dis- tinguish the wealth hidden beneath this mask. But we tip you this warning : Behind Eu- gene ' s studied indolence there is a keen mind, fitted with a tongue sharp as a two-edged sword. We predict that the stern fearless- ness, as yet so little known, will make Gene in the law a second Landis. Scientific Course; Boys ' Club (2, 3, 4); Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3). Josie Ioxa Evans Josie is another one of those happy crea- tures, who, we think, has an ambition, a hob- by, or something of the kind, else why all that pouring over books and papers ? She practices, in spare time, on the typewriter and has already attained the two and one- half words per minute speed (using the well- known H. P. system, we are told). Joe did her part in making our Junior year ac- tivities a success and we know that she will do for others in the future as she has done for us in the past. General Course. Marie Elizabeth MacPhersox If you want to hear somebody who can tickle the ivories, just ask Mac to play for you. Jazz music is her greatest delight, and when she sings to it even dumb animals sit up and take notice. She is the possessor of a vivacious temperament, which is reflected in her face and charming personality. And Fritz says, There are dainty little dimples in her cheeks and in her chin, and my foolish heart goes pounding till it makes a fearful din.
