yjaf I wr I ■ ii m iii =m WILLIAM NUBER We thought him quite a youngster until recently when he suddenly grew up and became very much of a dignified Senior. We do not know his intentions after he leaves Academy, but we shall not be astonished if becomes famous. MERCEDES QUINN Mercedes is a jolly good natured companion whose ready sympathy and understanding is much appreciated by her classmates. She is usually bubbling with fun and enthusiasm which make her a bewitching pal. DWIGHT ROBINSON He is a true friend In every sense of the word, and his friendship is sought by all who come in contact with him. Dwight keeps a respectful distance from the girls but he may, in time, fall to the lure of the speaker sex. JESSIE ROSEN Here ' s health to the lass with merry black eyes Here ' s riches and joy and success, Here ' s honor and fame to her w ho tries. And that is our Jessie, I guess. SYLVIA SAFT Here is another case of see one, see the other. We of- ten wonder if Sylvia could ever be found without Jessie. She, however, is a dandy girl and is well liked by everyone. Do you suppose that being a fine student and a dependable friend has anything to do with it? RUTH SEACHRIST Ruth is one of the most practical girls in the February class, and we are sure v e can rely upon her to maintain our standards of good sense. She is the type we all admire; clean spirited and sure of herself. She is out to win and it being Ruth, she will win! A green student is better than a Blue one. 25
