No one could ever miss knowing “Nookie” once she was introduced. Whenever there was mischief, she was in it. Her bright and cheerful disposition has helped many of us to remember that every cloud has a silver lining. We will never forget her everlasting smile. “Bee” says she is going to be a stenographer, but we fear that it will not be for long for her sunny disposition will have soon touched the heart of some gallant knight (if it has not already)— that’s a big secret. Here is another of our “Sunny Sues.” Helen, with her catchy smile and sparkling eyes Is always ready Tor a good time. May fate so rule it that good times may never cease for Helen. Good looks, good sense. good humor, laughing eyes and golden hair, make the Mary we love and admire. “Gitz” Is full of life and ambition. She will capably fill the duties of any obligation.

Our Helen is just one you can’t resist. Her sunny smile and sweet disposition have made her a favorite in the school. No matter where, when or with whom, she is always pleasant. Helen has held a place in Athletics that will be very hard to fill when she is gone. Allow us to introduce a talented member! “Ruffs” is both a poet and an artist. We always thought artists were temperamental, but Ruth ably demonstrates that you can be talented and cheerful too. “Teeny’s” nickname does not describe her in either statue or ability. She has “a heart as big as a stone” and has proved to be one of the best among our “hardworking” members. “Bobby” is a person who possesses a great deal of humor. You just can’t keep a straight face while Bobby is around. He is the perfect picture of what a well-dressed man should wear — including spats, too, ladies and gentlemen—and an awfully good-looking “Chevy.” Page Fourteen

Here is a little miss who is bound to be a success in the business world. She is most original and has the ability to accomplish what others would hesitate to undertake. Queer as it may seem, she is one of our demure members and we can’t boast of many like Ruth. There are smiles and smiles, but did you ever see one like “Grumpy’s”? He spreads laughter and cheer wherever he goes. If you see anyone running up the walk at five after nine, it’s Grumpy.” Dorsey is the steady, dependable type. To smile, and to make other people happy are his aims. He is never too busy to lend a helping hand and his place in athletics will be difficult to fill. For four years “Hunk” has been a leader on the athletic field. She is noted for her ability to handle a basketball and make it do tricks on the slightest provocation. She is splendid in other fields of work too. Her humor is rare. Page Sixteen
