Page 20 The Echo 1928 ANNIE MARIE KESLER Latin ; Varsity Basketball, ’27-’28 ; Class Baseball, ’24-’27 ; Class Volley Ball, ’26-’27 ; Girls’ Glee Club, ’28 : Girl Reserves, ’24-’28 ; Dramatic Club, ’27- 2S ; Debating Club, ’26 ; President Athletic Association, ’27 ; Girls’ Ivionogram Club, ’25- ' 28 ; Latin Club, ’26 ; Class Basketball, ’24-’26 ; Tennis Club, ’26-’27 ; Sport Editor Echo, ’28 ; Big Sister, ’28. “Monk” is another of these “live wires”, so full of herself that you never know when she is going to shock you. She has been a real as¬ set to the basketball team for three years, has taken an active part in the Girls’ Club, and has proven to be an excellent Big Sister. In a word, she’s an all ’round sport. NOVICE KESLER Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28 ; Dramatic Club, ’27 ; Latin Club, ’27 ; French Club, ’28 ; Secre¬ tary Home Room, ’27 ; Nurses’ Club, ’27-’28, Vice-President, 28 ; Big Sister. ’28 ; Class Volley Ball, ’26 ; Class Basketball, ’26 ; Glee Club, ’26- ’28 ; Athletic Association, ’24-’28. Novice shows her worth in action. She is es¬ pecially to be commended on her standard as an all ’round student. She is a Big Sister to be proud of, and a Girl Reserve member well worth having. She is one of those brunettes that make a gentleman change his mind. RALPH E. KESLER Science; Football, ’27 ; Basketball, ’26, ’27, ' 28 ; Baseball, ’25, ’26, ’28; S’thlete Club, ’26, ’27, ’28 ; Athletic Association, ’24, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28. Ralph Kesler, (better known as “Pos”) has also made his debut as an athletic star. He earned his title of the “Flaming Youth” on the football field, and was also star forward on the basketball team. Certainly no one else could boast of a more colorful athletic career than “Pos.” RUTH KESLER Science; Athletic Association, ’25-’28 ; Girl Reserves, ’24 ; French Club, ’27-’28 ; Class Vol¬ ley Ball, ’27 ; Class Baseball, ’27-’28. Ruth would try anything once and if she couldn’t do it, there would be few who could. She’s a quiet, modest little thing, and seldom gets mad,—but when she does get angry—every red hair in her head stands for “fight.” If it’s pep you want, call on Ruth. BEN KENERLY Science. The fact that Ben takes life easy and thinks lots of having that good “ole” time, doesn’t keep him from passing his work. Ben is one of our “shieks” and he has a great ring of friends. By his long stay at Boyden High, we see that he loves high school and is willing to stick to the end. We know he is sure to win in life.

1928 The Echo Page 19 HALMA HOUSHOUSER Science; Glee Club, ’27-’28 ; Camera Club, ’28, President, ’28. Halma the quiet, the studious, the depend¬ able ! She was so modest that only her closest friends knew her real self. But sooner or later, people will find out that while others dreamed she worked, that her quietness was a symbol of the dependability, and that charm without reserve lay in her irresitible eyes. MARY HOYLE Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28 ; Basketball, ’26- ’28 , Hockey, ,27 ; Home Economic Club, ’27 ; Debating Club, ’26-’27 ; Dramatic Club, ’26 ; Girls’ Athletic Association, ’24-’28, Vice-Presi¬ dent, ’27-’28 ; Girls’ Council, ’26 ; General Ath¬ letic Association, ’26-’27 ; Baseball, ’28 ; Glee Club, ’27-’28. Mary’s high school career has a varied selec¬ tion of activities. She is a good baseball play¬ er, as well as a good newspaper reporter. Few have been as valuable to the Echo as Mary. She has been a success as a Big Sister, and Girl Reserve member, and also has the reputa¬ tion of being an excellent basketball player, and hiker. JAMES HUDSON Latin, Eli-Y, ’25-’28 ; Vice-President Honor Society, ’27 ; Debating Club, ’25-’28 ; Debating Team, ’28 ; Vice-President, Debating Club. ’26- ’27 ; Vice President, Home Room. ’26-’27 ; Golf Club, ’28 ; Prophet Senior Class; Chairman Constitution Committee of Senior Class ; Na¬ tional Honor Society, ’28. “Jim has made a name for himself among his fellow students as a debater. In his junior year he gained a big step by being elected as a member of the National Honor Society. He has a brilliant record of scholarship, leadership, character, and service and really deserves this honor. Truly, the ability to make friends be¬ longs to him. JOHN HENRY ISENHOUR Science; Orchestra, ’26-’28 ; Track Team. ’27- ’28 ; Hi-Y President, ’27 ; Student Council ’27- 28 ; Radio Club, ’25 ; Dramatic Club, ’27-’28 ; Athletic Association. ’27-28 ; Chairman Execu¬ tive Committee Students’ Handbook, ’28 ; Na¬ tional Honor Society, ’28. His large eyes and gentle smile make him a favorite. He is a good actor especially as a “usual boy.’’ Mathematics is his best study. John is a master of his violin and his manners make him a true southerner. LUCILLE JULIAN Science; Girl Reserves, ’24-’25,-’26-’27 ; Dra¬ matic Club, ’27 ; Glee Club, ’26-’28 ; Photo¬ graphic Club, ’28. Lucille is one of the few blondes in the class. She is good in her studies and is always ready for fun. Lucille evidently likes high school since she has been here six years. Her many friends wish her luck !

1928 The Echo Page 21 RAGLAND KIRCHIN Football. ’27-’28 ; Basketball, ’27-’28 ; Base¬ ball, ’27-’28 ; Circulation Manager, Echo, ’27- ’28; S’thlete Club Treasurer; Dramatic Club, ’27-’28 ; Glee Club, ’27-’28. “Rag” is the best all-round boy in the senior class. He is all for athletics and when it comes to football, basketball, baseball he’s right there. He is good in other things too. He had the lead in the senior class play and in the majority of the plays given by the Dramatic Club. “Rag’s” good in everything—that’s why we like him so. HATTIE KIRK Home Economics Club, ’27-’28 ; French Club, ’28 ; Glee Club, ’28 ; Nurses’ Club, ’28. Hattie or “Dolly” as she is more familiarly known, has a quiet, gentle, and pleasing dispo¬ sition. She will do anything to help a friend. Here’s to you Dolly, a good sport and a true friend ! JAMES H. KRIDER, Jr. Latin ; Hi-Y, ’25-’28, Secretary, ’26-’27 : Foot¬ ball, ’26-’28 ; Advertising Manager, Echo, ’27- ’28 ; President of Class, ’28. “Jim” is one of the best liked boys in the senior class. We all admire him for his deter¬ mination and executive ability. “Jim” is a sincere friend and is always ready to do all he can for you. His ever-ready smile will be greatly missed. MARGIE KLUTTZ General ; Girl Reserves, ’23-’24 ; Athletic As¬ sociation, ’26-’28 ; Girls’ Council, ’25 ; Glee Club, ’25 ; School News Reporter for Post, ’28. Marjory is one of the most valuable mem¬ bers of the journalism class. Many are the afternoons she spends helping write up late news stories that are neglected by others. She enters everything with vim. determination, and cheerfulness, which are her outstanding traits. She is headed for the trail of a happy and use¬ ful future. PAULINE LINN Science ; Home Economics Club, ’26. If it’s the hard and conscientious worker you search for, here she is. By her cheerful man¬ ner and her Oldsmobile, many a heart is cheer¬ ed on a hot summer day. Pauline, we hate to lose you !
