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

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

HELEN DUXCAX. Helen, because of her size, declares that she has been repeatedly slighted during her high school career. She has entreated mournfully that we use this means to bring her into the lime-light. Hence, all of ye high and mighty ones, take heed for ::she’s little but she’s wise.” FRANK TRl'ERLOOI). A highly distinguished young man. At least the Freshmen think so Holds many offices. Pres, of I. G. W. T. C. (In Good With Teachers Club) official pugilist of high school, instructor in the art of wooing. Isn’t he a lady fusser, though? Come ye, unsophisticated Freshmen, behold in this man a model of propriety— until you have sense enough to know better. No remarks, please. We all have faults! HARRIET FARMER. Names are deceiving for Harriet has about decided that she won’t have to be a farmer and is considering taking up typewriting or stenography, or just anything, she says, by which she can aid George She is a wonder in that she 6an skilfully guide an automobile with this same George by her side, although sometimes the two together cannot fix punctures. As to the reason, we are hardly able to decide. VIVIAN JOHNSON. Vivian used to be a true student. but alas Instead of devoting himself to his studies, as was his former habit he’s taking lessons from Frank Trueblood in the art of pleasing the girls. Watch out, Vivian. ’Tis a dangerous path which you are choosing! GRETNA W1THMAN. Ah! the tread of her majestic figure. ’Tis the envy of many a foolish under-classman. Some day the rhythm produced by her chewing gum will cease and her gliding motion will vanish. Her first words were “A man, a man, my kingdom for a man.” Has her desire diminished any? Gretna is very popular and is a good-looker. 20
