 MARTHA E. QU1NTER “Mar,” “Marly,” “Marsa” Class Poet. “A 15road Smile from Ear to Ear Is Martha’s Way of Spreading Cheer.” Martha is as much in the background as a noisemaker as is her seat in the main room. She has never been known to have been scolded for talking. She is a jolly, good sport and also an excellent musician. Martha is rarely tired from walking to school, not because she lives so near, hut because she is very fortunate in having friends with automobiles. A Ford, in particular, strikes her fancy, or, rather, the driver, regardless of whether he is a business man or a milkman. She has great hopes of being Paderewski’s successor, so bonheur, Martha. PEARL B. RAPP “Polly,” “Kid,” “Pud” Class Secretary, 1, 3; Class Will, Girl Reserve, 1, 2. “Love is a Wonderful Experience.” We wonder why Pearl is so fond of “Pud”-dings; there is a reason. One is that they are soft and do not affect the digestion. Pearl once liked the Cadillac, but we haven’t heard her talk about it lately. We don’t know whether it has a flat tire or whether the lights work. Pearl likes to go to chureh(?), but she is usually fortunate enough to find good excuses to stay home. She is easily excited, and one evening almost became hysterical in the movies when the song “Oh, Promise Me” was rendered. But that’s all right, Pearl; we feel that some day you will be even more excited by this song. 2MSM5®2J3J3I3M3MSEJS®3®SM3I3M3J5I3MSMSlS®SMffl3MSJS®3M3J5J51SM2MS13I3®2®3I3JSlSJ Page Twelve

 SARA R. LUTZ “Lutz” “Lutzie” “Puss” Forward Girls’ Basket Ball Team, 2, 3, 4; Captain, 4; Girl Reserve, 4- “Holy Cats and Pussies! Look Who’s Here.” Beware! Beware! Of this whole crowd of raving maniacs “Lutzie” is the worst.. Although least in size and age, she is not last by any means. The city of Jacksonwald can well he proud of this illustrious daughter. After four years in jail (high school) Sara has acquired a complete knowledge of star gazing—basket hall star. We wonder why Sara’s favorite color is red and why she is so fond of cookies. Well, never mind, Sara, we wish you good luck in music, school teaching and—er, well, we won’t give you away, hut go to it. MYRTLE V. POTTEIGER “Potty,” “Shorty,” “Shrimp” Business Manager “Blue and Gold,” Class Prophetess. “If Only Chet Were Here.” Ha! Ha! Here comes “Potty,” giggling as usual. Her gigjrle can always he heard in the class room. Ask her why she ate apples from one source only during the past year. “Potty” is an inveterate hiker, especially in the direction of Stonersville on Sunday afternoons. She can jump exceedingly high for an amateur basket hall player, hut she rarely lands on her feet after the ascent. “Potty” and “Doty” made a good-looking couple, as we saw last year; hut it appears that “Doty” has stepped out of the limelight because of a stronger and more beloved rival.

Let’s all take a good look at Miriam. See that far-away look in her eyes. I wonder what she is thinking of. Do you know? Sh! That is a secret. How Miriam does love to go to basket ball games at Tenth and F.xeter. I wonder why? Miriam will always be remembered for her wonderful ability as a pianist, and some day we shall hear of her as one of the great artists. Good luck to you, “Mim.” WILBUR T. WEAVER “Rastus,” “Bill,” “Willie” Associate Editor of “Blue and Gold,” Class President, 2. “Willie, Willie, Where Art Thou?” This learned ignoramus hails from the metropolis of Stony Creek, and, after faithfully trudging to school every day, on a trolley car, for four years, we believe that Wilbur has finally acquired some knowledge of slipping through a class without studying. Now wait a minute. Let us break the news gently. Wilbur has been taking dancing lessons. Now please don’t rush, ladies, as Wilbur already has a partner. We understand she is the cashier at the— but that’s enough. Well, we hope that Wilbur will he as successful in life as he is in love. Page Thirteen
