r 7AIJENE JOHNSON. Hero’s a typical high school girl, full of fun, not over fond of study, and yet a worthy student of high school. She is especially fond of mathematics and is contemplating a summer class this year, llene Mitchel and Dorothy Trainor will he her assistants. RAYMOND MAHER. Yes, he does look meek. But once let his fiery debating penetrate your ears and Raymond will gain a new place in your esteem. He hasn’t found a girl in high school yet to suit him. but that doesn't prove that he’s hopeless. He’s some baseball player. DOROTHY BI.ACK BERN. She’s another one of our artistic walkers. Dorothy is a little timid and is inclined to blush when the boys swarm around. She likes the girls though and they like her too. A violent attachment between Dorothy and Wendell has been rumored but at present we’re not prepared to give details. Dorothy is a good student so keep up your good reputation. Follow this good advice. HREESE STEVENS. He is gradually coming down to Bedford ways. He’ll probably wear a hat by next year. Don’t judge too harshly, he came from New York. Does he like Gretna? Does Gretna like him? K ATH ER1N E ST ESSE I Perhaps ’tis her name which so often causes the melancholy look on her face Brace up Katherine! Do you notice that Eugene seems to have brought added zest to her countenance, her step and her whole being? She is about as good a walker as Helen and is contemplating walking to Mitchell some day. just to be walking you know, although we have heard that there are one or two nice boys in that town, anyhow. 22

RUSSELL MITCHELL. No, lie’s not any relation to I lone. “Would that I were,” says he. He has frightened many a timid maid by his barbarous appearance. His constant query is “Why don’t the girls like me?” Never mind, Russell, you’re all right. FLORENCE EMERY. “Doc” the prize student and the jolliest girl of them all. “Doc” who is a joy to her teachers because of her splendid lessons, and a leader of her class because of her love of a good time. How often, oh how often has Florence schemed and plotted against the Seniors of last year only to find her plans known. “Doc” left us when we needed her most, and went to Hanover. Here’s to “Doc” a dandy girl! May the best of life attend her. WENDELL CORNWELL. Wendell doesn’t live in Bedford but he is still worthy of consideration. He has written a book on “The Pleasures of Travelling,” the subject matter based on his own extensive journeys. He has agreed, after much persuasion, to give lessons in the gentle art of laughing. Take notice, ye Freshmen, who burn to achieve the great heights which Wendell has reached! SHIRLEY ARMSTRONG. She has tried to become prominent in more ways than one. Who can say that she has not succeeded? Her enormous size, coupled with her red—yes, just plain red hair, have drawn the attention of more than one innocent youth. Despite her exalted position, Shirley is a good, all-around girl, a fine student, and a basketball player. Watch out for her. She will achieve fame yet! M A DELI X E H A W KI NS. Madeline doesn’t say much in class meetings so we're unable to express her sentiments on any vital subjects. If you’re particularly interested. however, you might inquire of the Drake girls. We feel sure they know a little about this mysterious person, unless their continual promenading in front of the high school build-in fi is done in vain. She’s a nice little girl even if her hair is slightly red. 21

DOROTHY THAI NOR. She's just a sweet little girl, that’s all. Has a special liking for geometry and Russell Mitchell. She’s a busy little body and accomplishes a great deal by her early material visits to school and her brisk stepping after she arrives there. She is very much interested in high school events and is an active member of the Senior class. STEPHANIE STROUT. Her motto is “Laugh and grow fat.” We wonder why she doesn't live up to it. We wanted to be original and thought we wouldn’t mention Donald in this but necessity demands. There’s scarcely anything to say about Stuffy but that “she’s h.s’n and he's her'n.” LENA M’FARLIN. She looks wire but we don’t know, she says so little. As she towers above us, it is hard for us to realize what she is thinking. If she doe n’t swallow her lead-pencil during a recitation some day, she will be a credit to the High School. Lena hails from Williams and we are sure it has felt a loss in her coming to Bedford. LOIS HARRISON. She’s a Harbison, too, but of a different type. She has vivacity and charm and many an admiring mind holds still the vision of her, gracing the position of toast-mistrers at last year’s Junior Banquet. She is liked by all her classmates and surely has an interest in all class affairs. COLLETTE JOHNSON. A quiet, demure little girl who never has much to say. We understand. however, that she is an ardent suffragette. 23
