S. he has proved herself worthy of that institution and has been an important addition t » our Semi-Chorus. BRUCE BUCKLER Buck hasn't been with u long, but he has made good alright, lie carries five studies, a glin that wont rub off. and his classic head with ta«e and eclat. Although a gc: eral tar, his spiels in Dcutsch atjd English arc the most famous. RUTH MALLORY. Is there any one who doesn't know and like Ruth, or Blondy. She is in. the Semi-Chorus and take part in the cla play, with a grace and sweetness all her own. Arriving from the wilds of Decatur two years ago, she ha made firm friends, w ho will tearfully hid her adieu. CLAUDE WILKINS. Although he comes from the wild jungle, he has been with I . II. S. long enough to become thoroughly civilized. Shorty the Shark’ reason for coming to school i that he may apply the principles of Geometry, Physics and Chemistry to his f-rm and to do all he can toward raising the farmers' standard. On account of his noble ideals he has no time for smaller trirtes but outside of school he is one of the jollies! fellows in the class. “That silvered tongued orator. —Buckler.

Photo ! ■ Jay. KATHLEEN HODGE. Yoii wonder who the girl with the rosy checks and black eye is. Don t you know Kaki of the brilliant class of 11 who is quite a favoriate? One final question, what doe she mean when she says Ming? WILLARD CRYDER. Not second to Pipe » grin is Fcrdic » gracious -mile. J. W. C. give out for publication that this smile was developed only as a result of many years of cultivation chiefly in Paris. Detroit, and Texas. Cryder in his Junior year tried out for the position of center on the foot ball team but was displaced by his speedier cousin Waldo the Mighty. Willard takes keen delight in fussing the girls, and making A grades. His jolly good humor has won him many good friends. If you dont believe it. ask Tubby. MARGARET HODGE Do wc like Peggy? Well. I guess. And we feel sure She'll make a good Bess.'' May she return from that far-away shore With her heart and her hand all safely in store. PAUL CORNWELL Hark! List to the foot prints! 'Tis the onrush of a victorious army. We wait patiently for the heavy tramping army but Paul Cornwell, alia Soak. i» the only tramp that comes into view. His heavy footprint is well known to the teacher in charge but this -ante weight has stood him in good stead upon the football field. This excellent young man pursues a German course, disdaining the aid of the alluring pony. As a tenor in the Glee Club he ranks among the highest, taking A with ease. Se? me for Quaker Oats smile.”—“Ferdie.”

Pholo by Jay. ELLA MAXWELL. There'» Ella too. hc passes us so modest am! quiet that you might think that we hardly notice her. but we do. and take «real | ridc in her brilliant work in German IV where she represents the intelligence and superiority of our clas» a a whole? MICHAEL SCULLY. Michael Scully, in other words Mike, a wonderful specimen of old Ireland. He is still more wonderful as a base ball player, having starred in this line o: athletics for the la«t four years. Oh. yes. he is trying for a job as teacher, and if he gets it we will all start to school again. KARL GUMM. begin at the ground and go up six feet three ami three twenty-thirds inches, go about two feet east and west. Attach solid foundations to the wiioic and cap it with a large head set with eyes, teeth, and other necessaries, and you have a faint idea of K. Gumm, Sergeant in the Cadet Company and basket ball man. He has a most refreshing sense of humor and a laugh like a pet cyclone. When lie goes I’. II. S. loses some real class. DON HAMILTON. Oh. the Irish! The Irish! You find 'em everywhere. The above refrain floated out of the window and I recognixed the mellow—very mellow—tenor voice of Don Hamilton. This young man is the personification of innocence, never being suspected of a wrong deed by the faculty. Of course this is all true enuff but—Fid©, will you pie sc lie still? As an athlete ••llammy” uses his weakly frame to good advantage and made a good sub on the immortal basketball learn of '11. and on the track is a fast man. Mr. Hamilton has confided to us his hesitation in choosing a subject for his thesis, yet favors the two following: The Bruno vs. the Blondette;” The Advan- tages of the Bttckboard Over the Phaeton.” “Has anybody here seen Scully?”
