L’ANNUA I RE Pa ye Thirteen .JOHN TRUMAN. “SNIP Boys’ Chorus ’25; Basket Ball 25; Class Play 25; Boys’ Hi-Y ’25; Athletic Association ’25. That he was tHe handsomest prince in the world was agreed by man, and alas! by many women! Handsome, dauntless, without a care. He is possessed of talents rare. With the ladies he's more at home Than was our friend Will Honeycomb. Did you see him as “Tony In the class play? You missed something if you didn’t. Although lie has been with us only one year, everyone likes “Snip. KATHLEEN FIK.E Latin Club ’23, ’24; French Chorus ’25; Secretary of French Club ’25; Glee Club ’24, ’25; Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24; Musicale ’24; Music Editor for Year Book ’25; Hi-Y ’25; Athletic Association ’24; French Club ’24. ’25; Operetta ’25. A good definition of Kathleen might be: Peg that prepossessing, powerful, pent-up portion of potential pensive power put into a proportionately puny package possessing a pair of pungent pretty lips. All swains will do well to plug their ears when approaching this serene siren. There’s something about Peg they all fall for. This something is not indefinable, but—. WAYNE HALL French Club ’24; Pageant ’23; Hi-Y Club ’25; Athletic-Association. But the little old Ford rambles right along Sometimes it breaks down, too, and then Wayne is late for school, and then he is sent to the office and has to write a composition, and all on account of his little old Ford. Wayne has it pretty well trained now though, so when he speaks it goes. He works hard and all the teachers like him. One reason is because he isn't so mischievous and another is because he is a good student. INEZ HOTTEL French Club ’23. ’24; Red Cross ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25; Sketch Club ’24; Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24. If Inez weren’t sick so much nobody could possibly beat her in grades. She has quite a walk to school so cold, stormy weather predicts that Inez shall stay at home. She doesn’t choose her friends of the male sex from school, but has her chosen few outside. We wish her success in whatever line of work she takes up whether it be matrimony or otherwise.

Yes, of course she has to do something to pass the time, so she just writes notes or talks—sure, she studies some. too. You can always find her when she is wanted. Did you ever hear her laugh? You can locate her bv that if nothing else. Say, did you ever hear that other laugh. “Ha! Ha! ? Still, we must admit she is a very fine young lady, full of pep. and has been a great help to our dear old class. HENRY SILVIS Athletic Association. Hi-Y ’25. One of the cleverest and wittiest fellows in the class is Henry. Have you ever met him when he didn’t produce that charming grin of lvis and ask How’re ya? ' or when lie didn't have some witty retort to make to you? He has a disposition guaranteed not to wear, shrink or fade. Henry is another who came to us this year from Sigel. He lias been with us only a few months but he certainly has made up for lost time. Every member of the Senior Class knows and likes Henry. MABEL CRAMER Operettas ’22, ’23, ’24; Musicale ’22, ’23, ’24: Pageant ’22, ’23, ’24; Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23, '24. ’25; Cheer Leader ’23, ’24, ’25; Latin Club ’23, ’24; Banquet Speaker ’24; Banquet Committee ’24; Athletic Association ’24; Assistant Business Manager of ’Owl ’24; President Girls’ Hi-Y ’25; Treasurer Class ’25; Class Play ’25; Annual Staff ’25. Hats off to the treasurer of our class. Mabel is a sample of real pep. It takes pep to make the band wagon go and she sure has it. We have never had any activity of any kind that Mabel has not given her suggestions. Have they ever been defeated? No, not to the knowledge of our class. She knows no defeat. After starting, she continues to the end. These are the characteristics of a leader. Obtain them and you will obtain the qualities she has exhibited throughout her high school career. In her classes she never needed to count the minutes until bell time like a few of the rest of us. You wonder why? Well, she always got her lessons, and therefore, excellent grades. We think Mabel is going to be a nurse. We hope she will be as successful in that work as she has been in her high school work.

Page Fourteen L} ANN U AIRE JULIA COULTER Girls Chorus '22: Pageants 22. 23: Latin Club 23. 24; Athletic Association 24: French Club 21. 25: Hi-V 25. Julia is the kind of student some more of us should be. She believes in the motto, Perseverance Wins. She does not let failure overcome her: on the contrary, she overcomes failure. She is not the kind who practices the idea of getting by. They always say people of few words are the kind of people who know somethin ?. Although Julia is rather quiet, she is charming and kind hearted, and well loved by all. MAXINE CARNES French Club 2 1. ’2.r»; Latin Club 2 1: Girls' Chorus 25: Basket Ball 21: Year Book StafT 25: Athletic Association 24. “A blithe heart makes a beaming visage. When it comes to mischief. Max has it all over” on Puck. Her face may look solemn, but take a peep at her eyes. They will give you a due. But she can be serious. Look at her marks.

Mildred is one of the few who have been with us since the very first year. When we have been desperately in need of a new idea to be carried out she could always furnish it. She has been very popular in a social way and has furnished ns all with lots of fun. Mildred has highly developed imaginative powers and if you don’t believe it read some of the impossible things she has predicted in the class prophecy. GERALDINE BRIN K LEY Girls’ Chorus; Pageant: French Club; Debating Team; Year Book Staff; Class Play; Musieale. The human dynamo! Fire glints from her eyes and epithets tumble from her tongue -when she is debating. We are glad for Jerry’s” future, fortunate that her asperity is merely external. We hope that she will be able to knock historic incidents into the receptive minds of future students as well as she knocks down the statements of her opponents.
