Li, X A X . X 4 I R O 9 UE think that George was a six-footer, while we know that he is as the coach says, but a period,l' but you all know how important a period is, and as is a period, so is George. He is Keen on the grease paint and burnt cork, and many a play, Senior or otherwise, would have died an early death but for the entrance of our Hhero. Ruth Eske- Rufus has one dark chapter in her life, and it deals with offices-assemblies whisperings, and requests, but we won't tell. She is a man-hater and vows vengeance on the whole male sex when she patents her famous fuss-proofl' hair nets. Besides being a rival of Edgar Allen Poe and Willie Shakespeare, Ruth reigns supreme as chief mirth-provoker of the Senior Class. Grace Leslie-Wheeze-putter-sputter. Yes, you guessed it, Grace aboard the Ford driven by an 'ialumnus of the A. H. S. Besides making and breaking dates. taking final examinations, whis- pering and giggling, Grace leads an uneventful life. She is the fem- inine vamp and avowed heart-Crusher of the Senior Class. Her chief desire is to see Theda Bara in sackcloth and ashes. and emblazon the name of Leslie in electrics on ole Broadway. Leila Carlton-Though small in stature. Leila makes up for it in pep, and plays basketball with such a vim that it's woe to the person who meets her deadly right. on the field of battle, for it's crank up the hearse and order carnations for them. Leila has a wrecking smile and it has played havoc with the owner of a certain Chevrolet, and but alas. her heart is stone and she yields not. Carry on! Nellie Hake-One of the future pedagogues of our land is Nellie Hak'eQ and she is now getting her practice at the Hawthorne by teach- ing the younger generation readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic. Nellie can warble a-la-canary. and her Senior speech was a song. But that's not all-ask anyone who can guard on the girls' basket ball team and ten to one they ill chorus Nellie . Nellie Quinn--Yep, that 's she. Her hair fluffy, powder at right angles, eyebrows pulled and studying on the treatise of 'LHow to Be Happy Though Freckledf' Ncllie's two great weaknesses are strum- ming on a steel guitar and fox-trotting-and she can trot. She is very undecided whether in the future to be an interpreter of terpsichorean art, or dancing teacher, but leans towards the first as it sounds better. CCamouflageD. Alice Walker rather Skinny ,-of course that ls only her nick- name. for she has a various assortment of those Letty Walker , ani USchoolmarn '-the latter derived from daily struggles along the flowery path of pedagogy CFuture of coursel. We wonder how large a school she'll have.-at present it looks as if it might be just one. Alice is the dashing scribe for the Senior class and the owner of a right good Chevrolet. Edgar Buchanan- Beans is the busiest man you ever saw: he leads our yells and edits the Rogue. and who'd want more to do? He is another lover of the footlights, and stage fright, and plans to captivate the world as an understudy of John Barrymore. Edgar is almost English in taking a joke, but stars in Economics as chief twister of our mother tongue. When a Junior he reformed and leaned toward churches, in Ashland, but now prefer.s those in Wyoming. Gus Wolcott-With a wrinkled brow and Cheshire grin Gus, alias Ching Ah Ling. wades through English 8 and assembly periods. While x 1 X 1 filffx i. I ... l I I . 1 l l 1 l l 1 I l I I l -25

t 'RUQUT5 Vx f SENIOR RIFF RAFF Ralph Moore-'Mann-and up the aisle goes 185 moore pounds of A. H. S. Ralph has a failing for chocolate caramels and writes deep literary stufii on the Underwood, when hels not coaxing a Gillette over his face. Ile plays football like a whirlwind and basket- ball is his chief indoor sport. His one hobby is advocating a payne- less world. Mingus Aitken-Hamburger! Is that au army turned loose I hear 1' Oh No! Just Aitken in his number Qills. Ming'l is never so happy as whe11 he is teasing someone-a teacher, a cat. or the coach. He is clever in extracting music from a piano and Wliispering ' is his favorite song and pastime. Football and basket ball alike hold no terrors for this bold man, but his heart weakens when he passes a certain jewelry store. Dorothy Tinker-ti'l'ink loves to gallop over the gym in pur- suit of the pigskin, when she can spare a few minutes from writing her own excuses, or- .But we were told not to mention powder puff in public.j Her two afflietions are a face that drives men to 'drink-II2Ohand a Studebaker that waits without ,tiresjj As soon as she lear11s to chew gum, Dot will graduate from the Com- mercial dept. Mildred Kaegi-Giggle-giggle. '4Yes. l ani in favor of a eur- few, pipes up a gentle voice-only Mildred Kaegi expounding her favorite theory in English 8. Besides being a teller of cullahed stories and a eoaxer of harmony, Mildred is superior to most-Seniors of her sex .in weightj, for her one dissipation is leating sugar. C'l'here's a reasonl. Ask Cynthia Grayls Advice to the Lovelornf' and find out if everyone doesn't love a fat man. .or ladyllf Dorothy Hoag-Ladies, Gentlemen and Fellow Students. No, that 's not a press agent, only Dorothy Hoag delivering a weighty debate on Resolved Antidiluvian Espophageocutani should not be recognized. l7orothy's horned rims cover a pair of wicked eyes. but she carries of the rubber griddle when it comes to grades and debating honors. Her smile is like the mumps. Contagious. Alice Brown- To be or not to be. That is the question which Alice Alias Brownie faces every day of her colorful existence-she can't choose between a Ford and a Reo. Alice has been with the class of 721 since its beginning and has always been a staunch mem- ber. especially on the eats committee, for Alice is like an Inger- soll, you can depend on her. Her special hobby is ear puffs. Elizabeth Lennox- Lizzie enjoys the distinction of riding to school in the 'tZoo VVagon every day. She's engaged, so we see, and wonder if the lucky man knows what kind of Mayonnaise she makes? If so. then Love must truly be blind. The meanest thing Elizabeth ever did was to kill time, so 'tis not cruelty which flashes from her dark eyes, but coquetry. 'Poor man. Bernice Flackus has High ambitions but sh! that's a secret. She leads the Glee Club with her caroling voice, and rules over the office, during the third period, with an iron hand. Bernice can extract nine miles to the gallon from the ole Overland, and many a speed cop has his eye on her, but she goes while the gallon lasts. George High-After all, what's in a name?

lx A 'ROQUE in the army, Gus learned to say Oni, Oui, so is majoring in foreign language. CTU He is a charter member of the PSLP Club and spends his leisure hours thinking of some new excuse to stay out of school. In rooters' section at the basketlball games, it's Gus's timid voice that helps drown out Medford 's Fight, Fight, and his capers entertain us during a teacherless assembly. Ross Small- Zippo'l or Smalley possesses a Buick Six and a reputation for speeding. He is another business man and painfully tries to lead a rebellious Senior class along the path of duty. His hobbies are football. Toko. late hours, squeaky shoes and mathematic teachers. Favorite pastimes: poking pins down D. Tinker's back in assembly and picking hairpins out of the back seat of the afore- mentioned Buick. Lloyd Shriner-Lloyd has been with the class of '21 during its Junior and Senior years and has helped bring up the class scholarship in all re.spects. He helped the second team win its place in basketball and struggled with the orchestra in grinding forth its ear-splitting tunes. Guess his nationality? Irish, of course. Found that out last St. Patrick 's day. Mae Smith-May is blonde and freckled, .shj and giggles madly every time any wit of our class offers a new pun. She industriously pounds an Underwood ninety minutes per and bookkeeps another ninety. May must have seven-league boots or else fern seeds in her shoes for she can walk faster than any other A H S'er, and comes to school every morning miles an hour. Alice Slingerland-Alice is the possessor of seventeen and three- fourths credits, so that speaks for her scholarship-yet she finds time to play tennis and take hikes, so she must be just qnatcherally lbritef, Alice has all the desired qualities of a vamp, a delirious smile and a dimple, but she wisely keeps them incognito. She is fitting herself for the position of chief saleslady for Etha Abbott 's famous patented crochetedynotebook. Bernice Yeo-Bernice excels on chords and dischords and is thc coming Beethoven of our class. One time a phrenologist told Bernice she had ambition and brains and since then the midnight oil burns while she practices on soap-box speeches in view of coming triumphs. With Bernice at the piano many a lusty song has been sung in the gym to help our team gain a victory. Bernice left us during our Junior year to .study in Cal., but decided Oregon was better, so returned to graduate. Sadie Payne-Sadie possesses a complexion, a temper, a faculty for writing teachers' reports, and a cruel heart. CThe last is more technical than suspectedb. Sadie came from Klamath county to finish her inbibment of knowledge and in addition to a teachers' training course is becoming very proficient in the art of sweeping corners and dusting piano legs at the practice house. She wavers between the career of an instructress of young America and a housemaid, but inclinations point towards the latter as she prefers a Rolls Royce to a Ford. Venetta Burns-No relation to Robert the Poet. but she is called Bobby . It may be the name that inclines towards poetic reverie. or spring, but whatever it is, it makes Bobby daydream a lot. Of course, we heard that in the spring Venetta would burn no longer but Ar-, -.,,,,,-- ...M--..-.,.,-..,.,- 26 .-.-.---n--,,.,,.. M.- ..---,,--
