■■hot» by jay. RUTH CORNWELL. Still another Ruth, a bine-eyed little Madchen, the delight of German IV and the delight of all those who know her. Iler sunny disposition and her unfailing Kood humor have won her a place in our heart and we hate to sec her go. No doubt he will teach school and be looked up to a much by her pupils a by all the Seniors. FAUVER HUSTON. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Huston—Fauver Huston. 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.

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?”

GLADYS MUSGRAVE. Would you think her a dignified Senior? Not l y her size. for she is small of stature, but great in wisdom. Why she has even taught school. A sch-iolmarm of two years experience adds so much to the intellectual standing of the class. 1 his is her first year with us. but it «cents as if we had known her always. Her ready laugh and pleasant smile have made Mussy” a great favorite. So it is wi:h regret that we say “Auf Wiedersehn.” to Gladys. ROLAND BROOKS. What will become of the track team when Brooks, hero of a ‘Core of meets, crack half-milcr. and cadet captain, departs the-e classic halls! lie s li::le feu: O my he only hits high places when he gets started. We hope he w:ll continue at this pace, and win out handily in the race of life. RUTH FLANIGAN. The prodigy- A mind full of wonderful workings. She will be grea; some day we know. But sh!—be |uict she would be entbarassed if she knew we were talking so. Here's a tiger for Flanigan. HOWARD PIPER. What is that shining light? you ask. Verily, tis the reflection from Piper's grin. For four long years it has been the beacon light of the class of eleven. He is carry- ing five studies but they don't interfere with his good times. We are happy to know that Howard s future career has been determined. He is apprenticed to the plumbers trade and will settle down for life as soon as school is over. If domestic troubles darken the horizon Piper has another candidate in view at Marshall. The light of thy gracious smile.”—“Pipe.'
