It is quite possible that ‘green but growing' might have been an appropriate motto for them about that time. Julia Hindle, Florence Harker, Mary Finnegan, Charlie Caldwell. Holland Learned and Clarence Maher were the members of the class. It will be remembered that early in her Freshman year Julia attracted the attention of the boys considerably and we are glad to say, still retains the charm. Floss was with us only a short time, but gained the reputation of being ready at all times to take part in all sorts of fun. Mary, the girl with the golden hair, hails from Jubilee, and is accustomed to climbing in high altitudes. Charlie has gained praise for his ability in running and high jumping. At present he is a member of the Bachelor's Club and many of the girls are sorry that Chuck has found other interests to draw his attention. Holland Learned, better known as “Spider, is the path-maker of the school with his number twelves. We had hoped that he would bring home honors from Princeville in as a mile runner, but all in vain for in his third lap he grew weary and stopped for a rest and a drink. Clarence Maher, known as Cy or “Sigh. is an artist by trade and nature, besides being a born poet. His blank looks on being asked a question, are only to be accounted for by a glance into his tablet. It is probable that while the question was being asked, Cy was drawing an airship. In the month of May, 11)11, Willard Weidner came to school— hailing from Douglas—and applied for admission to the Freshman class. Dutchy excelled in nothing but winking at the girls, but on that score he was never wanting. At the beginning of the term, 1911, Wilbert Best, joined our happy circle. “Mac, I am sorry to say, is not the superlative of good, as his name seems to imply. W. W., Class ’14 17
