Blanche Bell. Clara Bennes. Marguerite Boyd. Margaret Brown. Nathan Cassella. Blanche Bell— Our high school Bell is loud and clear. We always know when Blanche is here. Clara Bennes— She can dance just like a fairy. And her ways are somewhat airy. Marguerite Boyd— Peggy is a Gibson girl. With just such eyes and hair. She is very quick and witty. And is also passing fair. Margaret Brown— Extremely cute, forever a joy. Delight and envy of many a boy. On studies hard this girl doth work. And was never yet known her duty to shirk. Natiian Cassella— Nathan Cassella is a very queer lad, Not very good and not very bad. But in whatever classes he happens to ‘git.” He is always asked by the window to sit. Joseph Clevenger— We all know a boy named Joe. Who in lessons is not swift or slow. But when time for a race We grow red in the face While trying to keep up with Joe. Paul Dooling— Perhaps you don’t know this witty lad. All who don’t may well wish they had. Usually he is jolly, but awfully slow. Like several others, don’t you know. Louise Draper— Lou, read and heed this simple rhyme: Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay. Enjoy the sweetness of thy youth. For remember, 'tis not always May. Charles Fairman— Charles from East St. Louis High School came. And hardly a one of us knew even his name. As Editor-in Chief he has won great fame. But despite his position, he is just the same. Rogers Farley— Speak of Rog and it calls to mind The noisiest boy of the Junior kind. He is so little (that’s a joke) But he is louder than other folk. Joseph Clevenger. Paul Dooling. Louise Draper. Charles Fairman. Rogers Farley. 29
