1912 THE CORRELA T o R , P11931 If a vote were to be taken as to who is the most prominent man in the senior class a very large number of votes would be cast in favor of JOHN GEORGE AGAR, known to the entire school as Hjackf' Jack set a new record for the 50 in the Cook County at 5 2-5. As captain of the track team and a football star Jack has done some tall work for U. High, and his name will be long remembered. If he only wouldn't turn around in English class. jack spent his first year at Oak Park, but we're mighty glad he didnlt stay there, for we simply couldn'1: have gotten along without him. He is going to help his father run the Stockyards next year, although we know lots of col- leges that would be glad to get him.

Outside of being our star senior half-back, Bal has been quite prominent in literary lines, having been secretary of three Debating Clubs. We may also add that he helped the seniors to win the interclass football championship last fall. He was a pretty speedy boy when he once got started. Berg- hoff will be our representative at the Michigan School of Mines next year.

You may not know her, as she is not especially noisy, but nevertheless she has taken an interest in the affairs around school, in particular the Friday afternoon dances. Although she has held no ofhces in this school, having been here only one year, we know that she was an important person in the school which she last attended. This is all the definite knowledge we could obtain concerning Katherine. The University of Chicago will claim her next year, and then TCF?

PWD THE CORRELATOR mfx. Now to mention those who have, in a Way, led the class to receive its laurels. In the Freshman year the officers were Arthur Dixon, president, Lois lVIcKinney, vice-president, IVIargaret NIonroe, secretary, and John Schenck, treasurer. In the Sophomore year the honored ones were John Schenck, president, Arthur Dixon, vice-president, Lois NIcKinney, secretary, and Roy Friedman, treasurer. In the Junior year, when there was a great deal more dignity attached to the oliices, those who filled them were I-Iarold Nloore, president, Herbert Kennedy, vice-president, Dorothea Underwood, secretaryg and Arthur Buszin, treasurer. The dignitaries Who held those most high oHices in the Senior year were Herbert Kennedy, presia dentg Buell Patterson, vice-president: Margaret Nlonroe, secretary, and Gale Willard, treasurer. But even with this extensive list, if it had not been for the untiring efforts and ever-Welcome advice of our faculty advisers, Mr. Barnard, IXIr. Scott, and Mr Davis, it is doubtful if the class would have closed its career as gloriously as it did on the lvlandel Hall platform in June, 1912.

Pdgf 32 T H E CORRELATOR V01-IX. On Th DOTOTHY NI, BECKER is one of our enterprising young ladies. She is one of the few girls who can keep a high standard in her studies and yet have a good time whenever one is to be had. just to prove it to you, after having passed everything with flying colors, she calmly walked off to Europe three weeks before graduation. Dot said her highest ambition was to get an A with Mr. Crowe in English IV. She also said that she must have been asleep when she spent her first two years at Wendell Phillips, and that she never knew what a good time was until she came to U. High. You may find her next year at Smith. Junior year--Iunior Girls' Society.

High that Li'l A'thu' decided to browse around for a while. Ever since then the faculty has kept such a good grip on him that he couldn't get away. It is rumored that Art is something of a fusser, .but of course we couldn't possibly think such a thing of him. But you just ought to see him drink milk out of a bottle. Art has been prominent in ath- letics at U. High. He has decided to take an advanced course in fussing at Madison, and may do a little athletics there, too. -Iunior year-Track Team.

Yes, we know you'd like to get at him but we must protect him. l'Bolt or Bottle, sometimes known as CHARLES LAWRENCE BOLTE, has been rather busy during his last year here, having gone through school in three and a half years. He is one of the two members of this year,s class who made both Tripleee and Phi Beta Sigma. Lor has supported the Daily for the past two years and during his senior year figured in class athletics. Although study was always a bugbear to Bottle yes-no?, nevertheless he intends to go first to Armour and later to Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

There we hope he will show up as well as he has here. He made a modest beginning among us and made his mark as a class baseballer. In his first two years he entered football, baseball and track for his class. In his senior year he began by defendiing the school from Hank attacks in the fall. He liked the applause of the multitude, and so went on helping the school out in both track and baseball. So much for our friend, Boof, as an athlete.
