THE NUGGET One of our best all-around athletes is Harold Decker, lie has participated in practically every baseball and bas- ketball game since nis freshman year. Although he has a reputation for being somewhat bashful, he is popular with the girls. We do not know what he was thinking of when ne had his picture taken, but it must have been something pleasant. Secretary of Literary Association, two terms. Treasurer of A. A. Captain Basketball Team, two seasons. Senior Class Secretary. » What can wre say of this dear girl with the h'.’ic eyes and blond hair? In this picture she has the appearance of being a quiet, shy. VERY demure girl. But don't you believe it! Behind the scenes she is the jolliest of the jolly, the greatest funmaker, and one who likes to talk, especially during the last study period in the afternoon. During this period the teacher in charge frequently asks that the-e be less talking between those in the rear sea's. One of these seats is occupied by our friend Helen Derker. One of the best athletes is Donald DeLazier. On the baseball team he succeeds in stopping everything that conies toward first base, while his jumping at center in basketball and his clever shots at the basket make him one of the best members of the team. President of the Rostrum. Treasurer Athletic Association. Captain of Baseball. Basketball. S h I Everyone agrees that Mildred Dobbs is the most sedate member of the Senior Class. Nevertheless, she has made a great number of friends, and w'hen once knowrn is alwrays liked. 11

THE NUGGET John Adkins, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Adkins, was born in Butler. He acquired an education, with honors, in the High School of that place. As an elective, Johnny took a course entitled. “How to Act in the Company of Ladies.” In this elective course he far excelled his required Commercial Course. John's smile and Irish wit have gained for him many friends of both sex. Myrtle Bush, our fair friend from Crystal Lake, is one of the most quiet and shy members of the Senior Class, except when in the typewriting room or in the company of her so-called cousin. Nevertheless, she is one Of the brightest and most studious of our number. As a result of her studious nature, she has carried off the honor of being Salutatoriam Vice-President of Senior Class. Treasurer of Literary Society. • “Little” Edna Coil came to our school several years ago, so winsome, shy and bashful, unlike the Edna of today. She is no longer little” and ner chance to become Shorter” vanished with her third year in High School. Are there times when Edna is quiet? Oh, yes! there are many—in History Class or when listening to a John Mc- Cormack record. ♦ Four years ago a girl, Charlotte Davey, who noticed few of the other members of the class and who was very quiet, entered Butler Hign School. However, during the last three years of school life, she has become better acquainted with her other members of the class and the almost inseparable companion of Rose Mulligan. She has been quiet and interesting, never missed but one school day in the whole four years of school, always had her lessons and also a great deal of fun. 10

THE NUGGET When smoke is seen or a noise is heard in the lab., we all know the whereabouts of Bill Dugan. He is the most enthusiastic ’experimenter in the class and we pre- dict that he will some day discover a wonderful new compound—unless he is blown to bits first. William also spends many afternoons after school in the company of one of the teachers. Can this be devo- tion? Treasurer of Debating Society. Who has been the old standby” to tne class of ’18, other than Albert Falk? As times when the members of the class were sullen or even gloomy, the darkness was drawn away and the sunshine admitted, when the joyful, smiling countenance of Albert appeared on the scene. The honor and burden of managing the best Junior Prom” ever given by Butler High was thrust upon Albert, and his capability of handling such a task will be known only to those who were present at the Prom.” To you, Albert, is extended by all, the best wishes to meet with the same success in the future as you have met with in dear old Butler High.

He is Harry Haenigsen, who is now President of the Class of 1918. Also he is Secretary of the Athletic Association, and was President of the Literary Society for the first semester. In addition to holding these offices, he has participated in this year’s debate and has taken active part in athletics. Member Class Baseball Team. Member of Cast of Class Play.

As a Sophomore she proved to be a brilliant spot in our Literary meetings. This she did by consent- ing to sing when ajl others said, “I can’t do anything.” As an upper classman she afforded Mr. Enk much amusement by discussing during study periods in audible tones, with a young gentleman from Wyckoff, on “Advice to the Lovelorn.” She upholds her reputation for late- ness to the end. but we sincerely hope that she will out- grow it. 12
