MARIE JOHNSON Maries kten come backi' has proved her to be worthy of a place in Business English class. See Franklin if you doubt me. 'LA crown of yellow wavy hair, And eyes of tender blue, Yet the darkest shadows chase away, RUTH FRY Ruth is as full of mischief as the sky is full of stars. She is a brilliant student, a gifted musician, and an accomplished flirt lreferences furnishedl- 'Like Minorvrfs is her wisdom, Like Apollois is her smile, Yet she is in the Bible, When Marie smiles up at you. 11s a maiden without guilef, GRAY BROWNE There is much discussion as to whether Cray is bashful, or just modest, but whichever he is, he is a fine Business Manager. He contradicts the theory that hopposites attract, for his taste in girls semms to he blonde ones Qbrunettes, please weepl. HHe was blue-eyed, he was bonnyg He was buoyant, he was sunnyf, EDGAR GOODNIGHT g'Goody keeps himself busy trying to get out of handing in themes or managing for an excuse from detention. He did not run for class beauty, but if he had, we would have given it to him, for he can have anything he wants from the Senior Class. JOE HAZEL MCBRIDE Take a goodsmixing howl into which put two cups of common sense, one cup of fun, and four eggs of imagination, sift in and mix well three cups of freckles. Flavor all this with a teaspoonful of ser- iousness, and behold! you have Joe Hazel.
