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?”

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.

Ever since I walked into High School, four long years ago. I have been more than successful. This year I am sergeant in the the Cadet Company and captain of the Basketball leant. Although my departure from school will be the occasion for much grief, the blow will fall hardest upon the Political Economy Class My thesi is The Pompadour as a Beauty Asset. FORREST LEIST. Then l.cist. who has been with us four long years departs this year. He is modest, unassuming and always keeps his temper except when he play basketball- He is sergeant in the Cadet Company and one of the male triumvirate who indulged in Latin for four long years without any marked ill effect. ALLEN BRUBAKER. Alas! Spiegel our own inimitable Spiegel departs from these classic hall and after hi deep draught of the Pierian spring, goes out intub the battle of life. His eruptions in English class will be missed next year. He will also be nii« cd by all the teams to which he was a faithful and tireless aspirant. l-ong may he live and con- tinue t visit Terre Haute where his presence in the Grand opera house is unfailing. Always catch the ball before you throw it.”—Huston.
