THE NUGGET MARIE ADKINS One September morning the pupils assembled in Miss Perkins’ room were surprised to see an old-fashioned girl march into the room, led by toother Johnnie. This was Marie Adkins. During her four year:, in High School Marie has been very popular, especially with the sterner sex. We seldom see her down-hearted, but who could have been more disconsolate than poor Marie when a certain young gentleman of the class was seriously affected by a very bad cold on his left lung? IRENE AliDOI'S On a September morning in 1015. a tall, blue-eyed girl from Oakland entered through the cloak-room door into Miss Perkins’ room in the Butler High School. Later we learned to know this person as Irene Aldous. Irene soon won the friendship of the class, and has taken a prominent part in all school activities. This year dis- covered Irene as a basketball player and debater. She was the only girl on the Butler team in the Butler- H am burg debate, and helped to win the judges to the Butler side of the question by her brilliant oration. Irene’s ambition is to become a nurse, and we all wish her success in that profession. HELEN ball Too much cannot be said of our worthy class-mate. Helen Ball. After four years of continued, industrious study, she has become valedictorian. During her High School career .she has made many friends. She has other friends, the mention of whose names would bring the roses to Helen’s cheeks. This wise young lady is very fond of dancing as well as of study. A certain member of our class expresses the wish that the next time Helen attends a Senior dance she will try not to lose her slipper. BROWNIE” HIV You can bet we’re proud of Ed Brown, the Senior Hercules. Most everyone thinks Ed is quiet, but they should see and hear him when once in action—a buzz- saw has nothing on him. Oh, boy! Don’t think Ed hasn’t high ideals. Be patient, and some day you will see “Brownie” “high up” in some professional walk of life. 8

THE NUGGET GKOIUJIANA COATKS Let George” do it. Our Georgians has never failed us that is the reason why she is one of the most popular girls in the class. Her fondness for dancing and her skill in jazzing have made her and Leonard our Vernon and Mrs. Castle. Georgians is ambitious to become a druggist, and from the heated” interest she has taken in her chemistry experiments of late, it is probable that she will succeed. Her class-mates have been much perplexed by George’s trips to the cloak- room between clashes. It is noted that she always re-appears with a whitened expression, which cannot be accounted for. “DECK” Clarence Decker’s broad smile and broad back are famous, and his winning ways have made many friends for him throughout his High School career. The sunny smile and jovial manner have captivated one of the Juniors of the feminine sex so that C— and G— are almost inseparable. Clarence has had charge of the bells this year. At times the bells would fail to ring at the end of periods, often running even five minutes overtime. Faculty and students were much agitated and someone alleged that Clarence had forgotten to wind his Ingersoll wrist watch. Nay. nay! All were wrong. Clarence had lost all idea of time w'hile talking with an attractive Junior in the hall. Not only has Clarence not been satisfied with taking his own usual noon-hour walk, accompanied by a charming friend, but it is now rumored that he is guilty of leading another Senior astray along the same lines. Thus, two tardy marks instead of one were charged against the Senior Class. ELSIE PKPKW Elsie Depew is noted for her giggle, which is keyed in high G,” and which, like her whispering, can be heard at any hour of the day. But for all that, she is a jolly companion, as any one in the B. H. S. or Wyckoff will say. Elsie’s favorite study is English, and to her belongs the credit for the production of the class prophecy. ••ED” “DOW1K By his goggles you shall know him. Know whom? Why. Edwin Dow. most assuredly. While Ed took the managership of the Basketball Team apparently to relieve Brownie, we know that his pet hobby was seeing Marie safely home from the games. Though we must believe that Dowie was really ill. rumor has darkly hinted that his period of convalescence was prolonged that he might enjoy the goodies sent him by his many friends and the gentle ministrations of M-r-e. 9
