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

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 JOSEPHINE KWEN Here’s Josephine! Her reputation is firmly estab- lished as the asker of '’foolish questions.” In one day, Goldberg could get enough suggestions from Josephine in this direction to last him an eternity. For the past two winters, Josephine has been quite “classy.” in attending one of the large New York high schools during the winter months, returning to us with the birds and flowers. On her return, we have never noticed any change in Josephine’s democratic treatment of her class-mates. DEACON” FOXIK” “Deac” has been a faithful member of the Class of ’19. and has always backed us up. Until this year he has been very quiet and true to his name. Now he seems to be developing more and more, and under the noisy tutoring of Clarence and Dick he is really becoming quite a boy. We all predict a pleasant future for him. Quiet, loyal, agreeable, dependable.- that’s Charlie Fox. Do you think he looks angry here? Mr. Storck, the photographer, said several times. “Don’t look so mat; don’t look so mat.” HELEN HUNTER Oh, see the dimple! What a big one in the chin! That’s Helen Hunter, whose eyes actually shine with “diviltry.” While Helen is medium in stature, and smaller than some of her classmates, draw no conclu- sions until you hear Helen’s voice. What she lacks in stature she makes up in voice. No one can laugh more loudly than Helen. A phonographic record of her laugh should be in the school museum. On rare occasions Helen may be caught studying. Her principal hobby is eating her lunch in the third period—not studying. That’s Helen. LENA KITCHEL Blue-eyed Lena Kitchel entered our midst almost four years ago. Very, very shy at first! But what a change! Today it is a neck-an-neck race between her and Therese for honors as greatest giggler in the class. All concede that she wins the medal as champion joke- maker of the Class of 1919. While this young lady has made many friends in High School, it is said that she has a wide circle of friends outside of school. Often Lena reaches school breathless because the time o’ day has passed so quickly that she has to make frantic efforts to avoid a tardy mark and the cold displeasure of Mr. Walton and Miss Maclean.
