10 THE Tl PTON IAN DONALD ALLEN PYKE. President. Donald A. Pyke came into high school in 1910. He served his Freshman year with the usual aptness of incoming students. As a Sophomore, he carried the regular work with seemingly little or no hard work, but all the time receiving a report card decor- ated with A ' s. When he became a Junior he was elected captain of the second foot ball team and was a guard on the high school basket ball team. On the base ball team, he wasthe best fielder the team af- forded and still holds that distinction on this team. At the close of the Junior year, he was chosen as president of the senior class. During this year he has played guard on the T. H. S. basket ball team and was full back on the foot ball team. He has been secretary of T. H. S. A. A. for the past year. Donald is one of the very few boys who has completed the full four years ' course without having to take a term exam. He has at all times received excellent grades, except an occasional C or D in deport- ment, which was, of course, caused by his neighbors, (as he explains the sitnation). We are proud of our president and at no time have we regretted our choice.

THE TIPTONIAN THE 19 14 SENIORS WE ARE THE GUYS. With an utter absence of egotism, abso- lutely without fear of contradiction, and with no attempt at exaggeration, I can state that we, tlie Class of 1914, are the guys who are the big smoke of Tipton. We are the guys that take the faculty by surprise; us, they idolize; our faults they minimize; our mistakes they legalize ;- nothing we do they criticize; aud our good deeds they invariably immortalize. In finding amusements, we specialize; dull moments and ennui we despise; the rites of flirtation we exercise; and the hearts of our teachers we burglarize. In chewing the rag, we Pletcherize; on conquests of Cupid we systematize; all rules lor matrimony we memorize. In fact, you ' ll admit that we are the guys who do what, and get what we want by the dirt of our eyes. — J. Paul Grishaw, ' 14. ffi WILL HI USD?

THE TIPTONIAN 11 PAUL GRISHAW. Paul Grishaw first smiled upon the world two miles north of Tipton, March 8, 1895. He still smiles when the faculty is absent. When a Freshman he was very mischievous and made no credits the first term, but he gradually settled down and is now a stu- dious and a quiet boy. There remains no doubt as to his ability to do things since he has completed a four years ' course in three and one-half years. The last seven terms of his high school career have been a decided credit to him and his school. He intends to go to Purdue University, where he will take up scientific farming. MARGARET SMELSER. Margaret Smelser is the quietest girl in the senior class. She has at no time caused any disturbance and has at all times had her lessons. Some people claim that these two traits go together and any one who knows Margaret will certainly agree with them. If you will ask to see her report card, you will find it filled with A ' s and A+ ' s. Of course, you must ask to see the card for she is not like the rest of her class who are only too glad to show the B ' s that fill their cards. She showed her class that she was not backward or bashful when she appeared as a charming court lady in the senior class play Macbeth. Margaret is naturally a good German student and we enjoyed her company in the German room as she could help when the rest of the class failed.
