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.

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.

14 THE TIPTONIAN WILLIE ALBERSHARDT. Willie came into the T. H. S. a smiling little fat boy, weighing • some hundred and fifty pounds. Early in his high school ca- reer, he and Latin fell out, but he after- wards overcame this hideous monster and for the past two years, has been a regular student. He is a member of the H. S. Glee Club and was a chorus man in the operetta Princess Chrysanthemum. Willie has been the efficient subscription manager of the Tiptonian and it was through his dili- gent work that this publication has made a success financially. He has served his class on many committees and is always ready and willing to help in any good work. He is a good, loyal T. H. S. student, but thinks that in some respects the Goldsmith H. S. has bis own school outclassed. MARY M ' CONKEY. Mary McConkey, as a golden haired little miss of fourteen, made her entry into the Tipton High School in the year of 1910, in a very quiet and unassuming manner. During the first two years, she was nat- urally like any other underclass student, but she had the school spirit and she began to be noticed as she advanced in school. Mary is an excellent pianist and one of the most studious girls in her class. She displayed her ability as a member of the queen ' s court in the senior class play. But one deplorable fact concerning her high school career should not be omitted and that is that she has never received a lower grade than A in deportment since her initiation. However, she had to sign the pledge. Despite this, Mary wil graduate with extraordinary honors and will certain- ly prove a credit to the dear old T. H. S.
