ROBERT ZEHFUSS President, Columbian Society, 22 Football. '19, '20, 21 Football Captain, '21 Second Team Basketball, 20, '21 Track, '21 .Ithlctic Editor, '22 Bob is ver obliging will'll the spirit moves him, which is every now and then, lie simply must have company every day in the week. For his greater comfort we suggest that some kindly friend donate a huge alarm clock which will ring every hour and bieak him fiom the serious VANCE KEASTER Printine Committee I he gil ls do not interest Vance. He says they are a little too expensive-. They think him very cruel because he does not invite them to ride in his Ford. Vance has been accused of being responsible for the overflow of West Fork river at Mine's Bend, due to an excessive deposit of Adams’ Pepsin and Wrigley’s finest (Muscles grow with use—note the jaw.) RUBY DENNISON Basketball, '20, ’21, ’22 Why is it that Ruby goes so often to the Opera House? Is it to see the show? Some say it isn't. She has some attraction there, no doubt but we know not what. The word “fear” is not in Ruby’s vocabulary. “She fears not any man.”

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

GLADYS REDFOX Asst. Editor, Chronicle, ’22 Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club Operetta, ’20 Gladys’ middle name is “Smile,” for who lias ever seen her with a frown? She loves to frolic, but Gladys knows there is a time for work as well as play. We fee! certain that she will become a great teacher after she has captured the honors at some famous university. CHESTER REID Track Team, ’21 Operetta, '20, ’21, ’22 Joke Editor, ’22 Excelsior Literary Society Cheer Leader, '21, ’22 Orphean Choral Club, ’22 “Chet” is fair and tall. He wears his hair parted in the middle and it is inclined to cttrll (although main whisper that “Chet” sees that it does.) He is the comedian of the class and always has something to say (especially in Spanish.) As cheer leader he can not be equaled. “Chet’s” loquacity is our best substitute for a perpetual motion machine MARCELLA SCHMIDT Editor in Chief Chronicle, ’22 Operetta, ’2t, ’22 Columbian Literary, ’21, ’22 An intellect that can not easily be surpassed. She i always smiling when someone” is around. We are sure Marcella will make a success of life in the business world but if she is inclined to teach we would predict a pleasant career in the field of languages. A word of advice: If Marcella is in pursuit of pulchri- tude she should refrain from frowning horridly as one fleeting idea after another passes thru her mind. 24
