EILEEN McCURDY Orchestra Eileen is a sweet, quiet girl whose absence from Arcata Union High School will be felt much more than any one realizes. Her ready smile and willing cooperation have won their way into the hearts of her classmates and whether it is a question of playing for the Girls' League program or helping one of the orchestras, Eileen is always ready. These same qualities will do much to insure her success as a teacher of music which she hopes to become. For such a gentle soul, Eileen's favorite quotation has in it an element of surprise, 'Don't foul, don't shirk, but hit the line hard'ghowever, this ex- plains her courageous attitude toward life. JOBEPHINE McCURDY Girls' League Orchestra '28, '29 Josephine, like her twin sis- ter, Eileen, will also be missed at dear old A.U.H.S.g but our loss will be the college's gain, for both girls expect to attend H m- boldt State Teachers College. These girls have vied with one another all through their High School course in trying to ees which one possesses the most feminine virtues. A decision would be very hard to make as they are both attractive, charm- ing lasses, always ready to help friend or teacher. Josephine's historical heroine is Joan of Arc. May her ln- domitable spirit contribute to Josephine's success!

EBON MEADE Student Body Attorney '28, Vice-president '29 Boys' League Beoy. and Tress.'28, Vice-president '29 Clubs:-Dramatic, 'A' Football '27, '28 Basket ball '28, '29 Baseball '28 Although Eson has attended Aroata High only two years, he has made a name for himself during this time. A distinctive honor won by this stu- dent was the securing of first place in the State Essay Contest sponsored by the Deputations Committee of the University of California. He also represented the school ably in the Interschool Debate of 1928. Meade has won notice in athletics as he was named a member of the all-county football and basketball teams. He has also participated in baseball, tennis, and track. Meade hopes to be a lawyer. Consider ing his unusual range of ability and accomplishment, we predict a successful career for him. Eson has been noticeable for his shy- ness toward the ladies tthie was not ap- parent during his first yearl. We sin- cerely hope that some member of the fair sex may be successful in breaking down J this attitude which may be partly ex- plained by his favorite quotation:-- nEver let the fancy roam Pleasure never is at home.0 DALE MERRIAM President and Treasurer Freshman Class President and Secretary Excalibur Club Vice-president Senior Class . Student Judge Clubs:--Excalibur, Dramatic, UA' Band Basketball '2?, '28, '29 Track '27 Baseball '27, '28, '29 Dale is n boy that no hate to lose as he has become a vary important part of our school in all of its various departments: athletics, student govern- ment, social functions, and hand. In regard to personality, Dale is all that could be wished for, as he has characte and dignity and is always considerate of his classmates. As editor of the Pepper Box he has shown considerable executive ability and a willingness to work. He has not stated what phase of activity he will favor w-ith' his august endeavors in later life but we predict' a great future for him as a marathon winner. He also would no doubt be very succesefull as the manager of one of Broadway's Follies as he has always had considerable influence with the fairer sex.
