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.

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 Ada La Roe, otherwise known as Frenchy,” is another shy member of our class. However, when she is in the company of a favored few she seems to forget her shyness and has made many friends during her four years in High School. ♦ As Burton Lamscha is the editor of this book, we do not dare to say all the nice things about him that we w'ould like to, since we know that he is so modest that he would cut them out.

Her four years have been spent with her Latin Scientific course in industrious study, and the result is, she has become our class valedictorian. Elizabeth has also been the substitute teacher for gram- mar school and is loved by all little tots as well as by her classmates. For four long years she carried neither purse nor ticket folder. Never be surprised if you open her book and lind dollar bills or nickels for a book mark or And her searching her books for her ticket, often de- laying Mr. Conductor. Let us hope she w ill not have to hunt about for her valedictory and delay the commence- ment exercises. Secretary of Debating Society. Treasurer of Literary Society. Cast of Class Play.
