She has held the position of cheer-leader for two years. Usually a very cheerful lass—but sometimes she can display her temper.

HARRY M INTER Basketball, '20, ’21, ’22 Baseball. ’20, 21' Football. '20. ’21, ’22 Orchestra Columbian Literary Society “Mike is an adept in every line of athletics. He has a very sunny disposition, ilis greatest fault is that aften when sitting near a girt his arm gets out of place. He has a very loquacious tongue which gets loose at both ends. Sometimes he gets his lingers into the wrong pie and his paddle into the wrong canoe. His hobby is “Parkology.” BEULAH McCLUNG Excelsior Literary Society Operetta, '20 Orchestra This little lass is noted for her beautiful locks of brown hair. VVe wish she would be a little more dignified. She never walks with a Senior but alwavs with a Freshman. Why is it? We think because they are more her size. Beware lass tif '2X, she is going to be a teacher, and she favors corporal punishment. ALMA SNYDER Basketball, '20, '21, '22 A sweet and good girl is Alma and not one bit bashful. Neither is she afraid to speak in class. She can easily prove her ability. It is rumored she is fond of young preachers—well who wouldn’t be? We can just imagine some young idealist pouring out his dreams and meeting with such heartfelt responses. 2 2
