16 THE Tl PTON IAN JOHN STITT. John Stitt entered the Tipton High School in 1910 and for a year held the hon- or of being the smallest boy in the school. All through the four years of his school life, he has been a good student. In his first two years he took the grand prize for asking the most questions, foolish and oth- erwise. We believe he owes to this trait the diploma which he is about to receive. John has been interested in athletics the past few years, having been a member of the foot ball and track teams. We are sor- ry to say that during the past few mnoths, he has been a subscriber to the Warning which is published in chapel every week. However, he has never failed in deport- ment. He was one of the characters in Macbeth. GWENDOLYN ROULS. The subject of this sketch, Gwendolyn Rouls, better known as Gwen by her friends, entered high school in 1909. Her entrance, however, was attended by great gusto as it took the combined efforts of her relatives and friends to convince the facul- ty that she would observe the laws of peace and order. Whether this promise was kept, her senior year has proven(?). In the senior play, Macbeth, Gwen impersonated a witch, her impersonation be- ing so true to life that even her closest friends failed to recognize her. Her work in high school is well worth imitation and we predict success for her in whatever vocation she follows. In a series of debates, she proved her ability by the able manner in which she discussed the sub- ject in question. She takes an active part in athletics and we are quite proud of her as a basket ball star. At all social affairs, Gwen is hailed with delight, every one knowing that joy knows no bounds in her presence.

THE TIPTONIAN 15 HARVEY HALL. Another one of the promising members of the senior class is Harvey Hall. Harvey is a good student, especially in German. His mind is constantly occupied in finding ways of making his friends suffer from his Deutsch. Harvey holds a prominent place in high school athletics. This year he has been a member of the base ball team and proven a valuable pitcher and fielder. As a member of the basket ball team his services have been invaluable as a forward. In this position he has helped the team greatly and was a mainstay for the team in all its games, especially at Bloomington, where he did some exceptionally fine work. After his school work, it is thought that he will take up German as a life study. MARTHA HENSLEY. Martha Hensley, being a very indus- trious student, has spent only four years in the Tipton High School. When a Freshman she was very fond of a certain senior boy, but now since she herself is a dignified se- nior, this condition has been reversed. Her favorite letter in the alphabet and the one she uses the most is B. Her highest ideal after school, is society and the train- ing of a certain Freshman boy. Martha took the part of a witch in the senior play, Macbeth and we think her looks will im- prove when she becomes as old as her sis- ter witches. She has taken an active part in the mu- sic, being a member of the Girls Quartette and Glee Club. It is her intention to take up special musical work after her gradua- tion. She was also a member of the chorus in the Princess Chrysanthemum cast. Mat- tie is a pledged member.

THE TIPTONIAN 1? JOHN GIFFORD. John Gifford entered the high school with the class of 1915. He was ever quiet and studious and had no trouble in making his Freshman credits. In addition to his first year ' s work, he took a course in the Tipton Business College and soon became a very proficient book-keeper and stenogra- pher. He entered school the next fall, deter- mined to make extra credits to enable him to graduate at least one term before his class. John is a steady determined worker and as a result of three years ' hard work he will graduate with the class of 1914. John is the youngest member of his class and al- though he has not decided what profession he will take up, we predict nothing but suc- cess for him. MARGARET COFFEY. Vice President. Margaret Coffey, like all the rest of the class, entered high school in 1910. As a Freshman, she was very quiet and studious. Some who remember her best, tell of her carrying home from five to ten books about every evening and staying up with them. Win n she became a Sophomore, she had lost none of her diligence. She was always afraid to look up for it would have embar- rassed her greatly to let the teachers know that she was not studying. In her Junior year, she carried Cicero and from this fact was a favorite with the Latin teacher. In that year, she received as low as B in deportment, a feat which she had never accomplished before. This year, she has been one of the German students of note, having translated Der Schimmelreiter be- sides her regular work. Margaret is inter- ested in music and is a good pianist. Dur- ing the past year she has served her class as vice-president.
