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.

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

HELEN CHLOE FITCH. Basket Ball (L) (2) (3); Captain (2); A. H. S. A. A. (1) (2) (3); Girl’s Glee Club (4); Class Treasurer (1) (3). Thesis: ‘The Beginning of a New Agriculture.” ‘‘Pegoy”’ has a wide circle of friends and it would be whol- ly unnecessary for her to vote for herself in order to poll a good vote for the most popular girl. She is one of that class who think much and say more. A great success she will make for she has devoured the essential amount of brain food, in the form of shredded wheat biscuit and force to develop her into some relative of ancient Socrates. JOHN KENT LEASURE. Foot Ball (1) (2); Manager (2); A. H. S. A. A. (1) (2) (4)5 Boy’s Glee Club (4); President (4); Orchestra (4); Class Treasurer (4). Thesis: ‘‘Change of the American Family.” “Teenie” is surely an indispensable part of our class, both on account of his worth and on account of his noise. Like the good lad he is, ‘‘Teenie’”’ has spent most of his Sunday evenings at an Auburn home and by his superior judgment he has perceived the excellence of the Junior class. He is a jolly good fellow and will certainly be missed. INEZ FAYE MAGGINIS. Basket Ball (4) A. H. S. A. A. (4); Girls’ Glee Club (4). Thesis: ‘‘Conquests of the Lion’s Brood.” Blessed was the day that ushered in our illustrious Inez. Educated in schools of both inferior and superior standing until 1909, she entered Auburn High School as a means of polishing that education which she had formerly obtained. This she has succeeded in doing and we are proud to send her forth from our school ready to helr others out of the same rut that she had plodded over. FRANK SHEPARD. Foot Ball (2); A. H. SS: A. A. (2). Thesis: ‘Supreme Court.”’ “Orinkie’’ came to us from Hicksville, while we were Sophomores. Since his arrival he has proven himself to be a lady’s man and a fairly good ‘‘fusser.”’ For a time, about October 31, ‘‘Crinkie”’ thought he would rather sell candy than study, but finally his love for his teachers aat his patriotism for his class were aroused and he returned. He has a happy-go-lucky disposition and is always in for a good time. 18
