Hl.Rtsi4.Rl ANDREW HICKEY, an Albuquerque youth, studious, determined and steady. The A of his middle name rightfully stands for ambition. He is a chemistry shark and will follow this profession Knot that of a shark, but of Chem- istryl. Boston Technical Institute will be the theatre of his endeavors after com- mencement, and as a chemical engineer his career will doubtless be filled with such adventures as blowing up tht- earth or hitching it to Mars. Ever since an important date, january IS, I899, the chief hobby of this husky youngster has been falling down stairs. When there are no stairs handy he indulges his penchant for falling by letting wrathy burros buck him over fences. Debating Club, 'I5g Yell Leader, '16, Indoor Track, 'l6: Track, 'l5. ILYALYNE LONG is a representative of the Lone Star state and a distinct type of the vivacious gentlewoman of the South. She was born in Greenville, Texas, Oc- tober Zl, I898, but was schooled in Virginia and Washington, D. C., before com- ing to A. H. S. in IQI4. Ex'alyne's character, culture, and good nature have won a place ol high esteem in the High School. In debate, or at the football field, cheer- ing for the Yellow and Nvhitef' or at a girls' stag party, she is always leader. Her histrionic talents were demonstrated in the class play, Esmeralda, when she played the leading role with ability and charm. Evalyne's chief talent, however, is writing, and as a journalist, she will win fame for the 1916 class. Basketball, 'I 5: Debatng Club.
