THE MAGNET 15 foundation is black, then the rest of the house is black; if white, the remainder is likely to be the same. We must live forever in the house we make; there is no moving out and buying or renting a new one. Some people have handsome, pure white homes; others have small, dark and stained huts. One can always tell w'hat kind of house a person has built by a glance at his face. It shows there in plain sight. How are we laying our foundation— for the good or bad? Maurice Ciiarnock.

Gertrude Raabe This little lady is another member of that illustrious group, previously spoken of as the “Triumvirate.” If there is anything we can remember Gertrude by, it is those parties we have had at her home during our sojourn in this land of learning. She has displayed her musical abilities as Mr. Wick’s assistant in music period for the last year. But her accomplishments do not all lie along musical lines, for she is “some good dancer.” Speaking briefly, Gertrude is a talented young lady, and has won many friends by her winning ways and pleasant smiles. Don Starr Don is the only “star” of our class. When the Astronomy class comes back to High in the evenings to gaze at the stars, and they find they are not out, they turn their glasses on Don, because he shines so brightly in recitations (?) Don is a very quiet fellow, but when he says something, you may make up your mind to take a good laugh. If he has any but good qualities, we have not been able to detect them, on account of his silence. Mildred McFadden Here is a member of that famous Allen-Raabe-McFadden Triumvirate who have long dominated that region of B. H. S. which is inhabited by the Class of January 1915. We have all found out that Mildred is very abrupt in speech and, as a rule, says exactly what she thinks, so we give you fair warning not to be foolhardy in what you say to her. However, Mildred is witty and for that reason has become very popular. Maurice Char nock Hail ye the Englishman! who has twice crossed the briny deep. “Kumbak” is the president of the famous “Napoleon Club” of B. H. S. Maurice is an all-around handy man in Old High, being somewhat of a football shark, is editor of the Magnet, vice-president of the class, and is a musician of some ability. He has twice starred in the Senior benefits, and has shown his vocal abilities in the chorus. We had always supposed “Kumbak” would pass his days in bachelorhood, but our opinions have been changed by the discovery of a small picture which he carries next to his heart.
