l Xt!'K'll Svvniiirn lll'TH SI 'ROGGS Ruth is quite willing to tell us all we want, to know, except, for the fact that she yawns too often to have time to talk. XYhen she awakens, the narrative will be continued. LLOYD HAZICN Lloyd has wandered rather vague- ly about, his only regular procedure being to go periodically to Alnoret to see-'just to see an Oval. N0 wonder he is so fond of drawing ovals in art. Our deepest sympathy to her, Lloyd. ANNA MA IC BURTON Anna Mae has shown herself to be a most earnest student of frolics. She has learned the tricks of that trade to perfection with Eva and XVinnie to coach her. , . ., , .. ,, . . .- .. ,...,,...-,e,-e:...:-.1 -,,,.,-.q,.M.-...,-,.-Q-.,,,.:,,......,.,...,..,,,..,,,,-:.,....... age., J.,

In the course of her high school days, she has spoken three times to another boy than her broth- er. We marvel at her audacity. IVAN RAY n Rounder is thoroughly educated-, if one is willing to listen to him about it. He is fond of medals, so very fond of them that he adorns himself with pot lids and big buttons in the vain hope of deceiving somebody in- to thinking they're medals. Poor little mannie! RETTIA KERRENS Reety is too quiet to let us know anything of her past except that she has been to a picture show twice. As for her present, we can only say that she is our class secre- tary and treasurer, and her future lies in the path of a country school ma'am. Fifteen .- ,..... ... .. .-,... - ...
