Three years ago, which, according to statise tics was 1924, some one carelessly left the girls' door open, and the air came in. The air' wasn't so bad, but something else sneaked in-Amelia. Once in, they couldn't get her out, but now that she is a senior, we're glad that she was so ,im- movable. Red hasn't decided yet whethereto wait for her own class down here or on the hill.. She is a very good Bad Abbott to havefaround, and-who sayslshe isn't? No one! yell the honored seniors! SAMMIE A. ABBOTT CCSemi!! NSam!? KKWiSh77 . 234 S.

The first five years in high school proved to be the hardest for Semi, for after that he got along fairly well. Besides doing artistic adver- tising for every club and paper in school, Sam has found time to thrill spectators at athletic games with his flashy end runs on the fgridiron. What Sam -lacks in brains he makes uplin wit, and he is chief entertainer in all activites. Se-mi has proved himself to be an unusually, popular member of the Senior Class, and will continue being a favorite when he does his sketching on the hill next year. Well, so long, Jocko: may' you always be an athletic supporter. LAURA K.

The curly-haired child at the left is, believe it or not, the dignified vice-president of'the,Deut- scher Verein. She is also distinguished for being the first girl to get a boyish bob! and 'the last to retain it. It is to be easily seenQthat Laura is intellectually inclined 'when one -finds her im- mersed in such heavy reading as The Mystery of the Secret Stairwayfand the like, though how she manages to do that and still head the 'Honor Roll every month is a perpetual mystery. Next year she intends to honorwthe cp-eds and here's hoping that she succeedspand that her contem- poraries don't kill themselves trying to keep up with her. t' ' -

CROSBY llDiCk!7 303 Cornell Street President of the Sf-nior Class 4: Color Guard 4: Congress 4: Le Cerclc Francais 4: Science Club 1. 2. 3: Foster Thompson Scholarship 3, 4: Senior Stunts 4: Freshman Play 1: Tennis 3, 4: Hockey 3, 4: Cross Country 4: Track 4. Stop! Another second, girls, and he would have blushed. It is a constant source of wonder how Dick has been able to move about so quietly for these four long years and still be so popular with everyone, including naturally the fair maidens whom one occasionally sees about these halls. He has proved himself a terrible nuisance to his teachers on account of his knowledge, which is not, as is generally supposed, the result of a tcn-day correspondence course. In spite of this blight he is almost human and his skill on the athletic fields is rapidly enlarging his stock of trophies. However, he has found time to be a most capable leader of the Senior Class, which has good reason to be proud of its choice. Consequently, all his honors come to him as a fitting tribute to his efforts. Dick is really a good fellow, and when you get to know him better you will seo the reason why he will have the success we predict for him. 20

I-Iere's a little lass coming not from far Japan, as you would suppose, but from Texas. Within her short stay of four years, Tazu has been suc- cessful in more than one way. Not only has she been able to grapple with the terrifying monster, Regents, but she has won the hearts of many of us. With her artistic ability and knowledge of the classical, Tazu has wended her quiet way through school till, now-Well, to make a long story short, she hopes to meet Mr. Hoy next year. The rule of Life is hard, but may that stern Dame treat you as an exception. VIRGINIA G.

Listen my children and you shall hear Not a tale of Paul Revere, But of a little girl with gray-green eyes, Red and gold hair that dances and flies: And a disposition as sunny and sweet As ever you could hope to meet: A smile that is meant for everyone, And, thus for her, many friends has won. Join us and you will join the ranks That wish good luck to Virginia Banks. RUTH A.

Well, here's Ruth after three and a half years of concentrating with her head buried in a book and her thoughts elsewhere. You can see by look- ing at her picture that she is a girl of unusual ability. We have also heard that Ruth has a peculiar fascination for Franklin cars. After all is said and done, Ruth will be missed when she leaves the I. H. S. The best wishes of the Senior Class go with you, Ruth, in whatever pro- fession you may enter.
