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. BEARDSLEY Rufus Ruthie 507 Turner Place 0 Lovely Night 1: Lady of Shalott 3: The Wreck of the Hesperus 3: On Shore and Sea 2: Hero and Leander 3: Science Club 2, 3, 4: Co-Se-Ho 2, 3, 4: General Council 3: Baseball League 3: Hockey 2: Basketball League 2, 3. 4: Volley Ball League 4. 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.

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' ' -

You shall not pass! Even tho' you don't wear dark glasses, we require you to gaze and won- der. Please don't be alarmed: it's only the boy wonder of the Annual office. Now that you are no longer dazzled by the light of his coun- tenance, let us see what lies behind it. No, those scars do not come from too much German or work in 'physicks,' although we have noticed there are some kinds of works in which he is in- terested. Aftcr pulling a few beards in the in- stitution 'neath which our noble towers rise, we predict a brilliant future for him in Life tas second assistant to the third office boy of John Heldl.

Four years ago Dorothea entered the I. H. S. in order to graduate with our famous class of 19257, and she is doing it. Dot doesn't believe in studying too hard, and just manages to get on the Honor Roll. She doesn't know what she is going to do when she graduates: she isn't plan- ning to be a teacher, and is not aiming to be one of those whirlwinds of shorthand and type- writing known as a stenographer. No, Dot's career is uncertain but we can all make a good gutss. Whether you live up to our expectations or not, Dorothea, we all wish you happiness in the future. MORRIS E.

Now, for the first time you may see the stu- dent who has made Teaberry gum famous. 'tBlos is acknowledged to be the Hrst person to withstand the shock of chewing two kinds of gum at once. After four years of labor HJ Morey has finally stepped into the ranks of the select, and he has also learned the gentle art of dancing. And now at the tender age of sixteen he is stepping with the best of them. But, seriously speaking, Morey will be quite a suc- eess at collitch, judging from his High School career.
