THE NUGGET John Poole. In the modern arrangements of school- teaching .it is no uncommon thing that a man of genius, like Johnny, should ask for more homework and receive none. The inventor of a submarine or a flivver is pretty sure of receiving a great reward, but the man who has conquered the art of studying as Mr. Poole has done is pretty sure of the contrary. It is difficult for we Seniors to believe that the man. Mr. Poole, whom we see study- ing. nay, perhaps painfully feel wrestling with us. studies at the dead of night, can be made oi finer ivory than our- selves. So let it be with Johnny. ♦ Florence Post was a very quiet little girl in her Freshman year at Butler High. But in her Sophomore vear a romance started with a minister s son which has not yet terminated. In her Junior year much of her time was devoted to this young gentleman, who seemed to be very fond of her. She has become very industrious in her Senior year. She journeyed all the way to Haskell to work for DuPont’s. Even though she is very am- bitious, she can always find time and also something to laugh at. ♦ Margaret Prescott, better known as “Peggy.'’ has been very popular during her High School year. She has taken part in many of the school activities, serving on different committees. She took part in the play given by the class in the Junior year. She was attracted during her Junior year to the freshman room and, on the whole, found all the joys of High School life. Member of cast of “Brother Josiah.” Assistant Business Manager. ♦ If we went fishing, would Leo Rowe? Do you remem- ber the villain with the mustache in “Brother Josiah”? Leo certainly showed his ability at that time. Since that time he has been actively engaged in all school activities. President of Class, Junior year. President of Debating Society. Member of Basketball Team. Member of School Baseball Team. Member of Class Baseball Team. Member of Track Team. Secretary of Student Council. 16

THE NUGGET Minnie O’Dell, usually seen with Ada La Roe, is active in school life and well liked by her teachers and fellow-students. Ever since her Freshman Year, she has been noted for her love of fun. but never has she allowed this to interfere with her studies. We will probably hear later that she has made a business record worthy of pride. It is difficult to know Helen O'Reilly. She prefers her books to the company of any one in the class, and is always willing and ready to recite . She has many but silent friends. Her reward is being third on the honor roll of the Class of 'IS. » James O’Reilly, if he lives long enough, will probably grow to be a man. He is very quiet, but usually finds something to laugh about in everything. His aim in life is to become a journalist and we wish him great success. If you hear a noise before entering school you will know that it is one of Caspar Petrone’s neckties. He seems to take pride in wearing a new one each day. He is also a good student and likes to solve trigonometry problems, but is not as studious as he might be and is always ready for a good time. 15

THE NUGGET Hazel Ryerson. One September morning a demure little maid by the name of Hazel Ryerson tripped over the door-sill into Miss Perkins’ room. Those luminous brown eyes of hers easily won a place in the hearts of all her instructors. Hazel has from the first given us all much pleasure through her intimate acquaintance with Orpheus. On our Glee Club, too, she was the lead- ing spirit. On leaving. Miss Ryerson is quite different from what she was when entering; that was an angel. • Ruth Sheffield. Here’s to Ruthie! She is loved by students and teachers. She has a reputation for being the pleasantest girl in school. We do not ask you to take our word for the aforesaid,—ask our late history teacher. She and Elizabeth are known as the Siamese Twins.” Wherever you find the one, there is the other also . We are sure that she will be very successful in life if she follows the straight and narrow course” she has em- barked on. We doubt if during the four years Eva Stewart has attended this school she has spoken more than fifty times. In spite of this silence she seems to obtain good marks in her studies and is certainly not lacking in friends. » Leonora Tintle. As a Freshman. Leonora was a very quiet little girl. Times and things do change, however, and in four years Leonora has learned to talk. She is very active in the chemistry class and will some day sur- prise the world with some new chemical invention lessening the work of the housewife. 17
