CARL NICHOLS President. Columbiai Society, ’21 Basketball Reserves, 21 “Where there's a will there’s a way. is Carl's motto. Is there a doubt, then, as to what kind of a lad lie is? Carl likes to understand a theory deeply, and studies and questions about it until he does. What then would be his best course in life? Why to be a lawyer and to become a great judge. Then he will revise his motto into: When there’sr a will there's a law suit.’ LYNN SWIG HR Chairman Engraving Committee Excelsior Society Lynn is tall and fair. His1 blue eyes seem to denote sirfeerity and truthfulness. He is studious yet we can predict no intellectual future for him; rather he will become one of the most prosperous farmers of the state. On the vear book staff Lynns services were invaluable. FKUN OIMN.UJT Orchestra Columbian I.iterary Society Fern has light hair and blue eyes. Her motto is “Let’s eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.” She is very fond of company (especially from Adams-ton) and one can always find enjoyment at her abode. Fern possesses wonderful musical talent, anti with her charming personality we feel sure that the lime is not far distant when she will be assured of a permanent audience, even though it be small. 9 ■25

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

vihc.il hall GAY DAUGHERTY Columbian Literary Society Orphean Choral Club. '22 Who says there is nothing' in a name? A look at Gay would convince any one that a moie befitting name could not have been given her. Gay is very fond of reading. Yo library is large enough to satisfy her passion for books. The time she doesn’t devote to literature is spent in arranging her hair. We can hardly think of Gay without curls. Columbian Literary Society Football. ’21 Basketball. '22 Quiet as a mouse is Virgil. This recent arrival is always ready to do his duty when called upon. Virgil is very tactful. It is related that when he was asked how much were two and two he replied, It depends upon what two and two you mean.” HAROLD O’NEIL Excelsior Literary Society He came into the class eight weeks late. Yet “our genius” bad no difficulty in overcoming this handicap and always finds time to doze in study hall. In a few years we have no doubt this young man will control Australia, Asia, Europe and Africa. During his leisure hours he could dictate the foreign policies of Mars and Jupiter. He considers a text book on the theory of relativity as light reading. 26
