Herb is a strong- man and derives much satisfaction from the fact. Dur- ing- his four year course he was always engaged in Athletics and didn ' t bother much about the -women . He has more letters than any other member of the class of ' 19. Jessie Lamb Wit is the flower of imagination.

Jessie C. Pritchard Jess Her looks do argue her replete with modesty. Editorial Staff Hoop-Pole. Jessie is a quiet girl, but she makes her presence felt. All that she does is done well. She likes everyone and ev- eryone likes her. Lydia E. Riecken Virtue alone is the unerring- sign of a noble soul. Lydia is one of our quiet girls, but she has made her four years at school count for much. She has proved a good friend to all who know her. Arthur R. Robb Robbie He sayeth little except when occas- ion demandeth. Football ' 17, Glee Club ' 19, Under the Lion ' s Paw . Arthur is our calm but businesslike classmate. His ambition is to be a doc- tor but if you saw him in the Senior play, you ' ll agree that he ought to be an actor. Marie Souder Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything. Marie finished her work in M. V. H. S. at the middle of the year and left us. We did not realize how much we could miss her until she was gone. She believes in having hev good time and if there is ever anything doing, Marie is right there. Elizabeth Spencer Poty I come late, yet I come.
