HOY MURI’HY. Isn’t he a fine fellow, though? At least a great many girls think so. Very seldom does he return the compliment He has made a splendid business manager for this ••Annual”, In the fulfilling of which office he has given promise of the greater things that he will do. Distinguished himself as Junior President and has been a star in basketball. A very promising young man is he. TH I’SXELDA FURST. Really, she isn’t as awful as her name sounds. She’s just a jolly high school girl, full of fun, and ready for any sport. Relongs to the “Well and Style of Recitation” club. Has just completed a beautiful ditty entitled “Why the Phi Gam Fraternity is the Rest.” Of course we all understand the reason—her brother belongs to this one. BRUCE NEWLAXI). Hobby’s his uncle, but he hasn't lost his hair yet, anyway. He can sing and various are the hearts that have been thrilled by his soaring tenor. Bruce is a jolly good fellow. HENRIETTA SOHN. “Ileinie” is just awfully good-looking, isn’t she? Did you know, strange though it may seem, that she has written a book on an extensive subject, “The White Man,” and don’t say that Miss Now land helped her, please. She knows a few things for herself, “Heinie” does. WILLIAM TURLEY. We don’t know all about him because his early training was acquired in Rivervale. We regret, however, to say that William was a good little boy .vhen he came here but through some evil influence or other (Charles McCarts, Agnes Joyner says—:you know she's been interested heretofore) he has been inveigled into becoming a daily patron of the smoking parlors. Watch out, young man! You’ll be sorry. « • 18

HOLME BLACKWELL. One day last fall he was elected president of the Senior class but he’ll waver sometimes. He is good-looking and we believe he’ll get over that too. Rollie has proved a credit to Bedford High School. Forget him not for some day you will be proud to have known him. ZEOLL.V BATES. Yes, eolla does bate (bait), hut with what we know not, but how many, who once become attracted, have escaped? An enthusiast in all school activities, especially in athletics. Very much desired the position of yell leader hut William Henry Dobbins’ powers along that line so eclipsed hers that she has had to content herself with forceful talks in Senior meetings. ALEXANDER DUX I HUE. The “Webb” which was gently hinted at in these pages heretofore, has now been woven so closely that it is well-nigh impossible to extract any of Biddy’s individual characteristics. However, we can say that the little girl who has succeeded in capturing so fine a fellow is all right, and consequently mustn’t he be too? JANE DURREXBERGER. Of course with such a name it’s hard for her to be good, but she rarely ever says a naughty word. She’s an awfully cute little thing. Hasn’t she made an excellent treasurer of the Junior class, for she carried around seven cents for some of its members all summer Docs she have a temper? I’m afraid so, but let her loose in a basketball game and she’ll soon get over it. Jane is a popular little girl, for sure. PAUL M’CUXE. Would you guess by looking at him that he is a prince of jesters? He has written bits of advice on How to Grow Hair.” “How to Keep Students From Liking You.” and “The Art of Walking” which he has presented to Mr. New land. Miss Mable and Akin and King Co., respectively. Besides his regular work and his aid in all school activities, Paul has a position down town and certainly deserves credit for his accomplishments. 17

MARY GAINEY. Now, don’t call her Craigie— You’re liable to get in bad. Neither claims the other anyway. She got to school early one morning hut because of the sensation she produced, has not tried it since. Mary likes to go to Bloomington. Why, nobody knows. But there aren’t any nice hoys in Bedford anyway, according to Mary’s judgment. Some people think she's a little stuck up. Maybe so. But Mary sure is good-looking. EVALOV 1’IT MAX. Hilgh school is hardly able to claim fair Evalov longer, since she has so strongly identified herself with the telephone company. Her favorite topic of conversation is love” for breakfast, dinner, supper and Sunday nights. Don’t you care, Evalov. Love rules the world” anyway. ILEXE MITCHELL. Have you ever heard her laugh? Have you ever seen her hair? What a treat, is there, for one who has not. She is an able debater, especially on “Woman Suffrage. She is quite accomplished, can play, sing, dance, cook, sew. Right this way, hoys! She’ll make you a good wife. But. some advice Be still, but she wears a switch. LYDIA STOXT. Belongs to the “Mumbling Club.” Her cheeks seem to understand that when she begins to speak they must become red in order to draw attention away from her words. A very good idea for history class, Lydia, hut young men care more for “sweet words” than “maiden blushes.” Lydia wears a monocle in order to squelch any presuming young youth who may cross her path. Just a warning, Arthur. MARGARET HI FFIXES. This class is surely proud to claim her as one of its members. She's a fine student, has been known to talk half a period in history. Has the prettiest pink cheeks and the cutest little laugh. Sits near Shirley Armstrong. Purpose to obtain her superfluous flesh, drifting away as she pores over her books. Her chief woe is that she can’t even get enough combings to make a switch. 19
