Dale Painter “I love the ladies, I love the ladies.” Here we have the ‘‘Caruso’ of B. H. S. His chief diversion is taking pa:t in “curbstone quartets.” He is the only classmate who sports a “misplaced eyebrow.” Dale is one of the members (there are others) who does persist in keeping late hours with the ladies, and therefore he dozes during German recitation. Due to this, Miss McLaughlin’s call is, “Try to recite, Dale.” Ruth Fithian Here is a very quiet and precise little lass, hut, with all her primness, she is very jolly and good-natured. Ruth is one of our members who lives in Ihe suburbs of the city, and we do not censure those of the class who, for the benefit of the walk, journeyed to the top of Center avenue with her after one of our parties, and struck their beds in time to get up for breakfast. Ruth is another of our accomplished musicians, having graduated from North Washington Academy. Ruth’s chief desire used to be to become a minister’s wife, hut of late her ambitions seem to have changed; unfortunately, though, we have not been able to find out her latest aim. Jos. Roenigk Sit up and take notice to our “young druggist.” He has the honor of being the only ‘gentleman” stenographer of our Class. He is also one of those supernatural beings who can take eight studies in seven periods and get away with it. They call Joe a lady’s man around this place of learning, but we don’t know just why. At our class parties Joe has intimated to some of the members that he is exceedingly fond of gems, especially “Pearls.” Florence Klingler “Better late than never.” This has been Florence's motto ever since she entered B. H. S., and we have vainly sought for a solution of this problem on account of the fact that she lives so near the High School. Florence is one of those plump little girls who is always noted for her jollity and good humor, and therefore she has won many friends since her arrival in our midst. From her appearance, we would not think that Florence had any fighting blood in her, but our opinion would probably be changed if we were to hear her in German class.

Gladys Kamerer “Glad,” as we call her, is very quiet and modest. Nevertheless, she is very witty and good-natured, and is a friend to everyone. She is one of the few of our class who has taken music as part of her High School course, and it is said that she has never missed her two hours practice daily. We cannot prove this statement, because at all our parties it is an impossibility to persuade her to “hammer the ivories.” She is one of the number who so kindly donated her home for one of numerous “feeds.” Maude David Very quiet and unassuming, but when once acquainted with her, she is found to be exceedingly jolly, and is always ready to take a joke. Maud is one of those “little gals from Ole Virginny,” and we know her heart is not with us, but in the Blue Ridge mountains. She was the standby of the Arithmetic class during the ten-minute period every morning, and we heartily extend her a vote of thanks for all her trouble. Maud’s greatest desire is to teach kinder-gaiten, but we wonder if her purpose is not to better prepare herself for future years. Helen Shomo “Laugh and grow fat.” Helen is a poet and doesn't know it, for she was the author of our medley. We used to think she did not like to work, but we changed our minds when she did her duty so nobly on this committee. Helen must get up very late, as she generally gets into Room 4 about 8:45% a. m. We have often wondered if it is because she keeps “him” too late. May we ask you who he is, Helen? Ethel Davis Here is the leader of the “Matrimonial Circle.” Ethel has made herself conspicuous at our parties by her absence, which we have found out to be due to the fact that she prefers to sit by the fireside and ponder over the genius, “Milton.” Ethel is one of the “gigglers” of our class, and we think it is on this account that she has never yet been entrusted to come to school alone. But the Fates are not all turned against her, for she is an able opponent of our illustrious valedictorian in Stenography, and, if difficulties do not arise in the meantime, we expect she will succeed Miss Stanley some time in the future.
