12 THE Tl PTONI AN MINOR L. BOWER. Minor Bower entered the T. H. S. in the fall of 1909. He has an unlimited amount of school spirit and has served in many offices in connection with his school work. He was president of the sophs and has been secre- tary and treasurer of his class for the past two years. He was captain of the foot ball team this year and was also captain of the track team. At the track meet, he served as yell leader. He was the advertising man- ager of the Tiptonian and through his ef- forts, it has been possible to publish this magazine. Besides being a good looking fellow, he is also good natured. He is the only tow- headed fellow in our class. ZELLA WYNN. Zella is a quiet, industrious girl who rarely, if ever breaks the laws of the school. She has made a record in her high school career in never being tardy. She is not only a believer in being on time, but al- so in having her lessons. Perhaps, she does not always answer promptly, when called upon but this is because she is so well in- formed that she does not know where to be- gin in analyzing the subject. Zella is also careful to be well informed on examination day. The night before the chemistry exams, she burns the midnight oil and sure enough the next day she is able to answer the questions asked her at leisure. Her intense desire to study is prob- ably the reason that she forgets to talk to her neighbor. In the assembly room where the assembly sheet is in use, once every month a beautiful A+ appears on her report card. Despite her quietness, she yelled twice as loud as her sister witches in Mac- beth.

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.

THE TIPTONIAN 13 RUTH D. SHOOK. Ruth Shook, alias Shorty, Boody, Little One and Shookie, — these pseudo- nyms are terms of affection bestowed upon he r by her friends. The reason for three of these honorable nick names is very evi- dent, but why call her Little One? She, whose height can not be measured in feet. She entered the Tipton High School in 1910, bringing all her dolls and toys, but alas, they took all these from her and made her study Latin. My how she hated this! The faculty knowing her by this time, placed her in the front seat in the Sopho- more class and consequently she was more quiet. As a Junior, she cam einto promi- nence as a musician and as a senior her special work is centered around music. She is the contralto of the Girls ' Quartette, a member of the Girls ' Glee Club and assist- ant editor of the Tiptonian, all of which she has performed very efficiently. She was the toothless witch in Macbeth v and seems to have retained several of her witch char- acteristics. She was also a member of the Princess Chrysanthemum chorus. Of her future, we do not like to speak, but she says HILDRETH HIATT. Hildreth Hiatt, commonly known as Slow Boy, has been a member of our class Cor the past four years. He is a capable stu- dent and although he takes an active part, in athletics, oratory and music, he never slights his lessons, (especially German). While a Junior, he became very fond of a certain suffragette of his class and became very down-hearted upon the sudden an- nouncement of her marriage to one more reverent than himself. However he found consolation in a Sophomore girl. Hildreth figured very prominently in ath- letics, being captain of the basket ball team for the past year. He has also played on the base ball team for two years. Besides all this, he is a member of the Boys ' Quar- tette and Glee Club and has indeed proved very efficient in musical lines. Thus we are very proud to claim Hiludreth as a class mate. old maid for her. However, several people, one in particular of the Juniors scorns that idea. At present, she is a prominent mem- ber of the Signers of the Pledge Club.
