12 THE INKWICLL THE SENIORS SPEAK CRITICALLY It amuses me to see George Bernard Shaw fool the public. They call him an egoist because he is pleased with his life. Do you despise him for casting away his false modesty? When we are seventy- nine, I know we will hear G. B. S. chuckling victoriously in his Shaw para- dise. I Defence-SARA DREW. The Innocence of Father Brown contributes one character, Flambeau, who is created as an especially clear per- sonality in my mind by the mere con- stant repetition of the fact that he is so tall he towers above any crowd. This is a very definite, picture-creating state- ment in one way, yet it gives no other actual physical description. From this single fact I can call up a drawing of Flambeau which is clearer than the memory of someone whom I know well. Several of Chesterton's minor characters seem clearer cut than his more important ones. I like the way he leaves his cen- tral characters like smudged charcoal portraits rather than making fine pen and ink drawings of them. It gives their minds and personalities a chance to de- velop without physical interference. G. K. places himself in the minds of his characters and uses them as mouthpieces for his views. The Paradox-Ruth Safterfield.

THIQINKVVELL 13 THE JUNIORS We are confident that, although the Junior Class has thus far neglected to dc- velop its possibilities in organization and leadership, we can, with a little effort, prove ourselves fully capable in these respects. The present Senior Class has made an excellent record for itself and will be remembered aw a line graduating class. With all respect to the Seniors, we believe that We can equal and even excel that record. We have, in the mem- bers of our class, such good material for all forms of endeavor, that we should at once take the lead in all school activities. The athletes of the Junior Class form the nucleus of all the teams. Our track team, with Tom Stewart and James Love and Powell Hughes, has proved itself to be the best in school. In football We have Donald Smith, next year's captain, Merritt Edmunds and James Griffin. Two important players on the baseball team will be Henry Eldredge and Bert Dares. In girls' sports we have such basketball players as Vera Bernard and lnez Smith. Dorothy Stevens and jack Spencer will be important in dramatics. ln regular school work, Eleanor Good- acre, Roberta Ostroske and Ella rox are honor students. Ernest Corson has fine literary ability. William Briant and Elder Entriken are good scientific Workers. These are among the most outstanding in their lines in the school. With such abilities as these, backed with a foun- dation of good school spirit and common sense, we believe we will accomplish our aims. The most important of these are the establishment of student government, and the restoration of the Washington trip to the graduating class, a privilege which we sincerely believe every Senior should have. lt is with the utmost con- fidence in ourselves, that we prepare to take over the name and responsibility of Seniors.
