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

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 Samuel Jacobs entered our class in his Sophomore year. Ever since that time he has been engaged tire- lessly in the pursuit of knowledge. Notwithstanding this, he has been able to join the rest in having good times, and whenever there is any run at hand, Sam is always ready to take part. We predict a brilliant future for him in business since iiis display of talent in the box office on the night of the class play. • You can never tell how people will turn out. Take Isabelle Johnson, for instance. Do you remember when Isabelle first entered High School? You couldn’t find a meeker, milder or more quiet girl anywhere. How can you account for it? Perhaps assisting in a drug store has been the remedy since all kind of remedies can be found there. And yet. why is it that Mr. Estler has no cure for a certain person’s Isabelities? Member of cast of Class Play. • • Martha Kayhart is one of the few girls in the class who does not seem to be much interested in the male members, although they seem to be interested in her. All her attention is centered on her studies and she has made a very creditable record during her four years in High School. ♦ Caroline Kretzler began her career in Butler High School as the inseparable companion of Emily Duthie. Gradually the young men of this school realized what a find they had in Miss Kretzler. At once Caroline was accepted as the most popular girl in this school. She is also an ardent baseball, basketball, debate and dance fan. Ask any of us if she has ever missed a school event. Treasurer of Literary Society. Secretary of Literary Society, second term. Vice-President of Literary Society, first term. Secretary of Class. Member of cast of Class Play. Associate Editor of Year Book. 13
