KARL SHALRACH—Senior Class President, A gentleman very much alive in school work, he is what is known as “booster” every inch of him a “booster,” and his “boostiveness” becomes contagious. As to his disposition, it is a combination of opti mism and devilishness. He loves nothing better than an argument. With apologies to Kipling, we may close by sajing, “His meat is argument, his drink, debate.” (Note) Don’t forget to take a look at his photograph shown above. ELIZABETH ELLEN LEWIS—Literary Editor, Osky Wow, 1915. This young lady hails from Chicago. You should hear her recite Virgil; and sing, well I cannot describe it. She is capable of great things, and will likely make a name for herself in future years. She likes to play tennis and walk for her health; but dislikes, to come to school on warm afternoons, or to wear a hat even in winter. FRANK (SETTLES Vice President, Senior Class. He is broad-minded, intellectual and possesses good habits. c is very fond of the young ladies and is a learned artist in etiquette. One of his hobbies is taking and developing pictures. He is a jolly good fellow skilled in hunting, fishing and walking. He holds the school record of covering the largest area of ground while standing. ALMA MILLER—“Tell me! pretty maiden, are there any more at home like you?” She is always quiet and with h» r soft, gentle voice, she recited those tedious lessons, and has brought to herself fame in her classes. She has helped to bring our Osky Wow successfully to publication in past years. In her Junior year she held the Treasurer’s honored position. She, in school, has been known as our “playwright.” HEBER LLOYD—A modest, gentle, and comely man. with temperament mild and habits refined- His appearance is so fair and feminine that a teacher mistook him for a lady. He is absolutely free from boasting and bluffing, yet his reserve makes him equal to the hardest difficulties. His dry humor and wit have furnished the class with many pleasant jokes. RAG E NiNE

when the Seniorites had sojourned in the new Building somewhat over a half year, Mr. Kinnison came unto them, andspake, saying, “Gather ye together unto you all your possessions, and go hence to the room of the Sixthgradites. “ And they gathered together their possessions and departed thence. And the room of the Sixthgradites was dark, and small, and musty. And straightway the Seniorites resolved to make up for the lack of sun light, and chose dark green and light green as their class colors, and they were reminded of the out-of-doors and of sunlight by these colors. Ami they improved the Scavenger, a weekly Seniorite journal, and they chose as their motto, “Be sure you are right, then go ahead, “ and they were glad only in the thot that they had done right. And when it became time for the adoption of a class flower, there was much discussion as to what it should he. And the different colors of roses were suggested. and daffodils and sunflowers were also suggested. And when the class decided in favor of the sunflower, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Now this is the chronicle of events as they did happen to the class of fifteen, during the years that they were in High School, and though not mire than twenty-five have survived this perilous journey, they confidently hope and expect that their history will not stop here, but continue to tell of higher achievements.
