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.- ..---,,--

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

XV'-You -M.--ff X J b f N R O Q LLB g-,ZS 'I I I X ' ' ' Fd - -. Her favorite study is U. S. History, and her chief indoor sports are writing sober letters and blushing. Frank Walker-Frank is a tried and true Ashlander and extends a great deal of his energy in the orchestra and during assembly periods, especially the seventh. During this period he enjoys a page or two of Snappy Storiesl' Cliiteraturej, and a slight sleep, awaken- ing refreshed, to orate in Eng. 8. In spite of deportment grades getting lower and spring excitement higher, Frank remains cool and calm and flashes his dimple when he smiles. Florence Van Dyke- Floss has one burning desire, that is, -to make sixty words in typing and to write shorthand well enough to transcribe it. She is fond of nature, and preferring Hills, and intends to live in Klamath Falls when she has finished her career as nurse. Floss has a weakness for lifesavers and shapely eyebrows, the former she eats, the latter she plucks. With her co-partner she daily graces the front steps and holds laughing sway. Marjorie Adamson-One of our talented young ladies is Marjorie A. She is very fond of jewelry stores, including surrounding scenery, and is a special passenger on morning and evening jitneys. Marjorie majors in deportment for she's learning to be good, as next year she is going to Corvallis and alas! for the susceptiible Freshmen who will wilt before her shy smile and tender voice as have several of our own city. Louise Ridley-Behind deceptive horn-rims hide Louise 's twink- ling orbs. but Louise herself can it remain concealed in History or English for she is usually among the few who have the desired infor- mation teachers painfully extract. One of her wildest dreams is to tinkle a Remington Qspeaking of typewritersj over in Hawaii, and she daily turns on the Victrola and types to the tune of Hula Honey , thereby hoping to fit herself to the position. So remember to stop off at Honolulu for Louise. Kee Buchanan-Custodian of the royal funds is Kee, and she spends many a wakeful night learning safe combinations and planning ways and means of protecting the class wealth. One of her chief worries is to keep a protecting eye on her straying brother and to keep hairpins in her hair, for the former has a tendency to be hostile towards Medford, and the latter-well they're just hairpins. With her colleagues she is designing a modern Bachelor Girls' Home and their war cry is: Down with the masculines! Etha Abbott-Whiz-past goes Etha, bound for a council meeting of the wise, a consultation over the Annual or ready to make a dash for the tennis court. Etha's worst afflictions are a high forehead, a sense of humor, a ready wit and a distaste for all things pertaining to the inferior sex. Etha has always been one to put on committees and her quick decisions and diplomacy have saved many a day. She completes the trio of Revolutionists, which are a chapter of the Mystic Order of Bolsheviks. Etha likes to hike and is another coaxer of harmony. Inez Reeder-t'Sweet Pickle -Here comes Inez alias Sy plus jazz, plans and hair nets, minus sleep, lesson preparation and deport- ment. For excitement Inez turns back the clock when she comes in early, keeps her pupils in after school and manages to appear in the office at regular intervals.
