Cut Mid-Year Losses HE under named graduates came to us before their departure at the close of the Hrst semester and begged us to do them justice in the Annual-even hinted about a pecuniary bribe, in other words a donation if we did not neglect them. They recounted their abilities individually and collectively, their class records Cand zeroes.j They even suggested that we Hll up space to the amount of Hfteen pages to their credit. We have done our best and we hope the result will be pleasing to them. If we have thrown a few bouquets Cor rocksj, it was because we believed it our duty to do so. QWe are now anxiously waiting for the promised financial reimbursementj TTHE EDITORS. PAUL ROSE Paulie is a blonderina who hasn't been long in the twenties and moves slowly. The blush of youth is still upon his cheek. He's solid from the ground up and his teeth would do for a Colgate ad. He is an early riser as the high school neighbors can testifyg in fact, they used Paul's daily promenade up the hill as an alarm clock-a most reliable one at that, for he never varied a quarter of a second. Paul loves horses, but also likes to ride in the back seat of a Buick. During his years in high school he was neither absent nor tardy-an enviable record unequalled by any other graduate. He always salutes his friends with hey and covers more space than any other member of his class. He was formerly President of the Board of Arbitration in continuous session around the stove in Garman's Feed Stable but at present is too busy presiding as chief engineer of the coffee mill at the Cash Store to attend the meetings. ALVA REHBERG Alva is a farmer by education and bringing up, but, unlike the proverbial Agric, he isnlt cool as a cucumber and shy as a partridge. He's a good deal of a trifler and likes too many girls at the same time. lt's all right to ride in the Ford with him but you musn't believe a word he says. Since February he's been helping father but occasionally gets to town. Of late he has looked rather lonely and is often heard to remark, New York's a long ways off. ED. MORAN Light weight but fully warranted ISK. His favorite song is l'm Satishedf' His ideas seem to be central -ized at present. Ed is little but he certainly could go it when it came to football. In basketball also he wasn't so slow. He was always tor- tured with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and so eager for it that he stayed an extra half year. We missed him greatly when he left-especially his daily strolls across the room at recess and dismissals to chat with the lady who was always waiting there. ARNOLD ZIEBELL Arnold is all right when he isn't crippled. He's as true as a blow from a hammer and steady as the whirl of the world. He dances divinely. .lust watch him some time and look at the girl he's dancing with. He's tall and teasing and the kind that usually wants to pull straws with a girl after a dance to see which takes the other home. He takes a slow gait, but he's always there when it comes to football and basketball. His only difhculty in school was that he didn't know where to put his feet. I8

ED. O'BR1EN An Irishman of pronounced attractions and characteristic gait. lle's tall, willowy and winsome. He but recently came to us from Chicago, but has made something of a record among us in oratory and athletics. He can make a girl think she's the lirst one he has ever noticed and that he can't see another thing, but he wears his heart. on his sleeve, and is an adept in the quick transfer of his affection. He's good cheer and sunshine in full measure. SELWYN SYVERSON At present attends Ripon College and other places. Bud's middle name is hustle and he was always somewhat dissatisiied in Tomah High because the teachers didn't assign longer lessons and because the students were too frivolous. He seems to have some time for girls and makes use of it. He made a record for himself in debate. lle's the kind that was always piping up in class and asking for longer lessons. EDITH BAILEY Quiet but interesting. She can smile but seldom does. Her behavior is without reproach. She inspired awe in the eyes of the Freshmen because of her appalling dignity. At present she is staying out on the farm enjoying nature, resting, and inci- dentally helping with the housework. EDNA JOHNSON A gracious, sunny maiden, with a big appetite for knowledge. She was never al- lowed to sit on the front seat in classes for fear she would not let any knowledge get past her to the rest of the class. Edna sometimes invokes the Muse of Poetry as you'll observe by reading last year's Annual. She is capable of cruelly playing with the honest affections of manfof which we have specific examples. She took the Teacher's Course and at present is following that line of work. She enjoys her new duties and we can safely say that her pupils enioy her.
