Ruth has the bearing of a queen, and her stateliness has added dignity to the Class of '23. She is a born leader, and no one has ever been known to refuse her slightest request. Ruth's favorite recreations are motoring and dancing and we have noticed she never lacks a companion for either one. Robert E. Burch English Course: Glee Club 4 years: Athletic Play 'ZZQ Sec. 6: Treas. -Junior Class: Sec. 8: Treas. Senior Classy Fire Team 2 years. Bob has often been mistaken for a professor, and retains his dignity on all occasions. l-le has won quite a reputation as an actor, and has an unusually good voice-probably due to practicing with a clever accom- panist. Mildred is a P. C. and we hate to lose'them both at once. but we couldn't imagine them going singly. Nellie Marie Bumpus Latin Scientific Course ln the year Nellie has been with us, she has proved herself a girl worth while.' She is fond of studying - especially Chemistry-taught by Mr. Mur- phy, in whose class she delights to confuse the long suffering in- structor with complex and un- explainable questions. We like her friendly smile, and wish we knew her better. V Virginia Genevieve Burdick Commerical Course Those large, dreamy eyes be- long to no other than our Vir- ginia. She has a way about her that just makes you like her, and we all do-yes, and so does somebody else, too. lf Virginia makes up her mind to accom- plish something, she is going to, and nobody can stop her.

George deserves. a great deal of praise for his work,as business manager of the Optmist. Through his efforts the Optimist has not only been cleared of debt, but is now a paying prop- osition. l-le's quite a historian, too, as that Honor will tell. We think that George would make an ideal politician. Commercial Course Here is Mary, our jolly Senior. She is bubbling over with fun. A word of warning to those young swains-don't vex Mary because you will be sorry, she'll get even with you by writing some funny poetry about you. But don't worry, Mary is every- body's friend. ' French Scientific Course Cheerleader 2 years: junior Play: Optimist Staff '22: Ath- letic Editor '23: C-lee Club 2 years: 'Member Athletic Asso- ciation '23: Class Artist: Senior Quartet. For a little fellow Grimes is possessed-and T. H. S. b l e s se d-with an alarmingly huge pair of lungs. We'll wager no other High in the country can boast of such a cheer leader and his gymnastic feats! We're positive he'll be an acro- bat or ai tra-in-announcer some dagy. Did you say popular? iiust cast your eyes on the above ist! English Course, Science Hon- or, Junior Play, Athletic Play '23: Football '20-22: Basketball '22-23: Fire Team I year. Millard is the bright star in science. He knows that study from beginning to end. Next thing we know he will be in- venting some new contrivance to take the place of the airplane. He's very bashful and blushes at the slightest provocation.

During her four years in High School, Laura has proved her- self to be one of the best sup- porters of the Class and always willing to do her part, as the above list shows. She is inter- ested in all athletics, especially in Basketball. Laura won the Latin Honor. Smith College is her destination and it indeed, will be lucky to get Laura. Commercial Course Fire Team '23. Kenneth's chief hobby is to argue with somebody in Law class. When Kenneth started to debate, the rest of the Class could rest assured that there would be no more reciting for them that period. We wonder why Kenneth blushes so when a certain girl's name is men- tioned? English Course, Glee Club 4 years, Glee Club Play. Elizabeth is a sweet' 'little maid who always has a pleasant smile for everyone. She would rather draw than study. Not saying that she can't do it either, for her drawings are the envy of all the other students. Eliza- beth intends to become a teacher of this art. French Scientific Course: Or- chestra 5 yearsg Baseball 2 years. Benjamin has played in the orchestra for five years. At first we thought that he intended to become the leader of a great orchestra, but now he tells us that he intends to become a Chiropractor. We are glad that one of our class is intending to enter this field.
