Tni: COMMENT ICLSI li MATTERN VVe have heard that Elsie would rather attend school in Florida than in Iowa. She is a sweet girl and is a val- uable member of our class, whose heart beats fast when she hears the Russell of the Branch, A maid of many Winsome ways. M ICR RILI, MAJ 1 DRS, TI if llJLliS The sporty member of li. H. S. who almost terminated his career when a Freshman, by trying to hang himself. He has since aspired to class honors which if gas was taken into consid- eration, he would easily have won. Wlleii he has nothing else to do, Then he will talk, good Gods how he will talk. Bl-ISSIIC VVRIGHT, BliSS What would we do without Bessie! ller bright sunny smile is always greet- ing some one. But perhaps she has 11 reason for being so happy, although they say the course of true love never runs smooth. Bess has been heard to Say, l've known many boys. from A to Z, But .less is the only boy for me. GUY NELSON The Class tough whom we inherited from last year. He can use his brain though when he wants to and also his feet, for he has done good work on the athletic field. His mind works in a mysterious way and it is said he can make anything from a stick of wood. L'Natnre made him, then broke the mould. RFSSICLI. ISLAND, RUSS Renowned as a great history shark, who intends some day to write an ae- eurate history of the United States. The heightening of the school doors was seriously considered this year for his benefit. VVe think his history debates, Time elaborately thrown away. A . . 23. l 'I-'- mil. - fi li4::itx ln.

1 - Tina Coix1iuEN'1' MlI.lDRIilJ IQRIIART, Mll,LlE Hur hrilliant elasseinate with a high understanding and great intellectual at- taininents, who became a graduate in three years. Very few things get the mark of her approval, especially the opposite sex. Thin or fleshy, short or tall, just so they're men-she hates them 'ill X' l'.RA lil'Rf2liR, ASIS She is hut partly in the class, her heart having been stolen by a Cdamj young man from Minneapolis. She is well informed on current events of all natures and is a lilcalrle elass-mate in all respects. Vl'heu the young heart of a maiden is stolen. The inaitlen herself will steal after it soon. Rl'l7fll,l'll KlNfiSTKtJlXl, HSYLVKS- TIER The elongated uiemher of our class, the workings of whose mind have all ways been a mystery to us. VVithall we know him to he a practical joker and further to have a tender feeling in his heart for a certain girl named Beulah. llis very foot has music in it as he eonies up the stairs. MAIHCI. ANDRIESSICN, MAY This young lady proved her ability as a decorator, when she prepared the lluteh room for our hanquet last year.

THE ANCHORING OF THE SHIP BY HAZEL LOUISE ACKLEY ' Twilight steals upon the harbor, Shadows lull the lapping waves, Where our great ship lies at anchor, Calm and steadfast, staunch and brave. To these days she has looked forward, But now her thoughts do backward Hy, To the happy, longing mem'ries Of the sea of Keokuk High. Backward o'er her maiden voyage, Those blissful dreams do fondly glide, Until the emerald-tinted echoes Come surging inward with the tide. Every wave bears back a message From her golden treasury's store, As she drifts upon their bosom, With the learn'd aspect of a Sophomore. Now a proud tho haughty Junior, She first Within the limelight beams, She ranks a queen among her rivals, Her name on honor's ledger gleams. At last a high and lofty Senior, As echoes of her curfew softly ring, With modest grace, she low'rs her head, And begins her sweet swan song to sing. First to one she pays allegiance, A Modern Neptune both in word and deed Though mighty small in stature, His strength is that of any Reid. Unforgetful of her pilots, Whose worth to her will aye be real, For each day to tasks e'er faithful, They have turned her great, old wheel. Now into the land of Alumni, With a pray'r they send us onward, And trust that we in treading there, May take no footsteps backward.
