Mellie is so studious and demure that one hardly knows she is around until she is given a chance to show her splendid ability as a speller. Her excellent behavior has won the ad- miration of all. “There is little of the melancholy element in her”. Eii te Baija Eddie is the most noted for his geo- graphical illustrations in the Study Hall, such as covering everyone with a volcano of chalk dust, etc. He al- ways gets by with it, too. “If knowledge were a bump, he would have a dimple”. Happy-go-lucky Lorraine! Alive from the top of her shiny red head to the toe of her little flat foot. Her specialty is domestic science, in which realm she hopes soon to have a spot- less kingdom of her own. “Life is a joke that has just begun”. The blinding meteor, the resplend- ent planet of I.

Accord- ing to his much beloved proportion, Claude is the mathematics scholars as a “pony” is to the Latin translators. “There’s the j decker brain That could harr logical chain” with a three- iflrllir (Silln-ratli ICiimtinr aitatug (Claufci?

“Verily his height insures his conceit, And when it comes to flirting he can’t be beat”. Willi? IGattra Wrbh 31mint? IG. (Sunn “And, oh! he had that merry glance that seldom ladies’ hearts resist”. Wtnnt? UlrQJnif Winnie is a firm believer in woman’s rights. She demonstrated this by out- classing the boys in debate. Besides this, she is the most industrious little vamp in the whole class. “It’s not her size But her deep brown eyes That charm the boys in Study Hall”. “She is gentle, she is shy, But there’s mischief in her eye”. “Jerry” believes in making hay while the sun shines; so he has a har- vest of good grades and good friends. His favorite diversion is smoking his pipe and thinking of Leona and Kath- erine. T:be lasbligl]t iEarl UfFsott All the girls are simply wild over “Turkey”, mainly because he is jolly and sings so well.

'rbe lashUght ©rnrgp uiaylnr Besides being a distinguished tenor of the Sans Souci Glee, George “Oscar Putts” is famous for his rebuttals in history class. His extensive vocabul- ary and quick wit have made him a popular yell leader. “Yet though his caustic wit was biting rude His heart was wram, benevolent, and good”. $arUs ffluyr Parks has a smile like a tooth-paste ad—one to which even the most hard- ened pedagogues succumb. The futile attempts of the teachers to curb his irrepressible mirth, merely hastens him detention-ward. “Just a smile on a cheery face, But it gives the sunbeams a long, long chase”. ttaUir Srffrrira Callie is kind to everyone, respect- ful and obedient to her teachers, and attentive to the tasks given her. She does big little things in a quiet way. “Words are like leaves; and where they must abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is seldom found”. Slirluui Jlratt Thelma’s special delight is captur- ing good-looking salesmen and show- ing them the sensations found in the Queen and Palm Garden. She has a dry humor that makes her excellent company. “She looks like one of those Puritan maids, And it surely takes Thelma to get the grade”.
