SRR Ser foe eR WINTHROP WELLES KETCHAM. Foot Ball (1) (2); A. H. Ss. A. A. (L) (2); Class President (1) (4); Advisory Board (3) (4). Thesis: ‘History of the Tennre of Office Bill.” “Wint’’ has a certain dignified attitude that has won for him the friendship of his class. It is ramored that he has joined the Cavalier band to our neighboring city. How- ever, the gentle sex does not seriously trouble ‘ Wint” and there is no need for alarm. Perhaps the most noticeable trait of character, in which he has starred, is his ability to let others talk while he is silent. The motto, ‘‘still water runs deep,’ is a great consolation to ‘‘Wint’’ and it surely ean be applied to him. HELEN PAULINE PATTERSON. (Girls’ Glee Club (4); Class Secretary (4). Thesis: ‘‘Music and Noted Composers.” We are all glad to welcome ‘‘Paulina,’’ who came from St. Joe to finish her High School course. Herkind and gentle nature has won the admiration of her class mates and it proved ‘“‘love at first sight’? with one lucky chap. Her ability to carry her work is clearly shown and she is an honor to our class. FAUST EDGAR JOHNSON. Thesis: ‘‘The Hanseatic League.” How ‘Pelot’? ever escaped the nomination for the ‘biggest fusser”’ is a puzzle which none seem able to solve. He is ace high with all the girls and with one fair damsel he has trumped in. As a Freshman ‘‘Pelot’’? was little heard of, but he has gradually grown until now he is a full-fledged sport. Heis a popular fellow among his fellow students and his ineveasing good nature and jolly spirit will bea happy remembrance to his High School friends. FLORENCE GERTRUDE MORRILL. Basket Ball (2) (3) 4); Captain (8); A. H.S. A. A. (2) (8); Girls’ Glee Club (4); Secretary (4). Thesis: ‘‘Our Debt to Holland.” Floss hailed from the Sucker state, Sandwich being her home. She arrived when we were Sophomores, but her year’s absence from our High School career did not make her bashful nor mar her hasty acceptance of our good fel- lowship. In our good-fellowship she has become a cultured flower and she will leave us ready to bloom. It has been an established fact, except with the teachers, that she is their ‘ knocker.’”’ Woe unto that unhappy lad that upon her sets his eyes, for he shall raise them again (get stung). 16

seven years. A few days ago, he suc3eeded in passing a bill through which prohibited the celebration of Hallowe’en in this country.” And Kent is popular now, as ever, but especially as the author of a bill which will satisfy the national cry for simplified spelling. It seems queer that he should have wished our old mode of spelling changed, since he had mastered that science so thoroughly.” “I guess that includes everyone. Do you ever hear from Alda Elson. You know she was unable to finish with us in °10, on account of her eyes, but I’ve always felt as tho’ she was still a member.” “Why I got a letter from her,” Floss is saying, she is in London now, the head of a sanitarium for nervous inva- lids, who are cured through the influence of music. Her life work has certainly been one of the greatest of benefits to the world.” “And you” says De, turning to his host and hostess, “are truly great at entertaining at least Judge, I’ll have to take a look at you in court tomorrow.” And I see them there still talking about High School friends and teachers. But I must not waste more time on the ignorant earthly persons. Already | have spent one whole evening at the game, and | must move on, for some one is calling for some water, and in my interest in earthly men, I must not forget my duty here.

CLAYTON GEORGE WEAVER. Boy’s Glee Club (4); Orchestra (2) 4); H. S. Quartet (4); Class Treasurer (2); Class Vice President (4). Thesis: ‘‘Benedict Arnold.” “Hetty’? is a caution and his laugh is a greater caution. Nevertheless we overlook that for we know he can not help it. ‘‘Hetty” is a good fellow and is always in fora good time; in fact ‘‘When pleasure and duty clash, he lets duty goto smash.”” The fair sex of Fort Wayne have somewhat strained his eyes and he is compelled to make visits to that place occasionally. ARTHUR SUMNER RAKESTRAW. Ne Foot Ball (1) (2) (8) (4); Captain 3; Basket Ball (4); A. H. S.A. A. (1) (2) (8) (4); Vice President (4); Boy’s Glee Club (4); Secretary and ‘i'reasurer H. S. Quartet (4); Class Pres- ident (3). Thesis: ‘Wireless Telegraphy. “Shorty,” the only tall pine of the Senior class, was cul- tured and raised along the banks of Cedar River. He is proof against all earthly attacks, except one, and that is of agirl. With them he seems to have bad luck for no soon- er has he set his eyes on one, than some one else runs away with her. ‘Shorty’ has a smile that rarely fade:. This token of good nature has made him well liked among his fellows. - Ww) NAOMI LAVON BRADY. Girls’ Glee Club (4). Thesis: A story, ‘‘Sometime.”’ Naomi was born and reared in the vicinity of Auburn, and goodness only knows, but what she will live and die there. Being somewhat girlish and bashful she has never thrust her bibical title before the world, and even in a recitation itis arare treat for her class mates to hear her gentle war- ble. By tradition Naomi can certainly claim Tom Thumb as her distant relative. PIERRE GLENN POTTER. Footy Ball (1) @) (3). A. HS. A.A. (1) (2)-(3) (4). Advisory Board (4). Thesis: ‘John Milton.” “Millie” is undoubtedly one of the best fellows of our class. Though he is slightly overburdened with avoirdupois, it does not, in the least, lessen his popularity with the fairer sex. Tillie’s chief attraction is a certain sweet lass now residing in our neighboring city, Garrett. ‘lillie has been an active worker in our athletic field, where he has won no small amount of glory. He is a loyal class mate and supporter of the A. H. 8S. His one fault is his unfailing bad luck in the chemical lab. Tillie has our sympathy as we have also been at odds with fate.
