ELIZABETH IDA MILLER Clubs:--Commercial, Latin, Girls' Achievement Elizabeth has been a general favor- ite among her classmates. She has faithfully upheld the honors of the Arcata Union High School. She has spent four years at Arcata Union High School, putting her best ef- forts into her work and has gained a place for her name on the Honor Roll. She has taken an active interest in sth letice, playing basketball, baseball, soccer, and volley ball. Her child- hood ambition was to be a teacher, but she has since decided to become a steno- grapher and will enter the Eureka Busi- ness College. Quiet and studious, but with the ability of being able to do the work required of her, undoubtedly this girl will always be successful. 'Slow but sure, she's won her way, And a true staunch friend, her classmates say.' M RCEDES MOORE Freshman Class President Senior Treasurer Girls' Athletic Manager Senior Class Secretary Student Body Council Social Etiquette Club Chairman 'Toreadors', Glee Club Mercedes' ready smile will long be remembered by her classmates after sho has left Arcata High. Her cheery die- pnsition and refined manner have won her many friends in every class. She ' has taken part in many school activities and has proved herself efficient in whatever she has undertaken. As chairs man of the Social Etiquette club she took ever the responsibility of arrange ing for the noon dances, which have been enjoyed by everyone. Although her childhood ambition was to be e teacher, she has changed her plans and intends to take up steno- graphy at Armetrong'e College where she will be as popular and sucessful as she has been here. We feel great apprehension for her Commercial career, however, for it is practically impossible to think that the stronger sex will allow such an attrac- tive girl to remain long in business life.

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.

KATHLEEN MURRAY Clubs:-Commercial, Biology Kathleen has lived in Humboldt County all her life and has attended the Arcata Union High School the past four years. She is a Jolly girl, who makes her classmates and friends laugh with merriment at her humorous sayings. ' uKatW, as she is called by her friends, desires to be another Elaine. That'e what we think, because her favorite literary hero is Sir Launce- lot. Perhaps she will meet a second Sir Launcelot as an employer when she is seeking for a position as a steno- graphsrg for she plans to become one by attending the Eureka Business Col- lege. We know that HKatu has the abil ity to get on the good side of Mr. Craddock and that he will find a hand- BOIBB BlIlp10y6I' for hm .
