Class Colors Maroon and White. Class Flower Red and White Roses. Class Motto Esse quam videre. VELMA SCOTT Scotty as she is most generally called is a member of the Freshman class and also the Philo Literary So- ciety, both of which she is a popular member. Whenever you want to find Velma just go to Miss Kelso's room and you will find her working Algebra or studying' Latin. There is not the least doubt that Velma is going to be a strong supporter of C. T H. S. It is the hard work of Velma after school which keeps our rooms and desks so nice and clean. Immediately at 3:45 o'c'lock .she is seen with her broom and soon begins to make the dust fly, which chases us very quickly. FRESHMAN CLASS Back row: left to right-Velma Scott, Margaret Powell, Hazel Shephard Alphonsine DeBlander, Grace Allan. Front row-Lamar DelaneyLMark Kelso, Harry McEwen, Joseph Chupinsky MARGARET POWELL Margaret a Freshie of 1918-1919 escaped from having the flu. and proceeded to quit school. She decided to work her way up in a department store and influence her customers with her voice so soft and low. Thi.s business got old and the bank roll small. The boys got wise and said: We want you to come back, Miss. And so she did. Now she can pat herself on the back for she is safe from those bar- gain counter raids. Margaret has been a beautiful writer since her childhood days and now in the Freshman class she can not be excelled. As for the character of her work we've never heard anyone make a fuss, but she is well known for her beautiful poetic productions. 22.

SOPHOMORE CLASS ETHEL SCOTT When we think of Ethel we think of one who is always alive, in- dustrious and full of fun. She abounds with surplus energyg giggles at every turn of her head, has a smile for all whom she meets and like most women. always has something to say. She takes great pleasure in studying Bible men, such as David and Samuel, and has a special liking to anything Brown, Her yellow curly hair, blue eyes and fair complection cause many an admiring eye to be cast in her direction, DAVID THOMPSON David as every one knows is the most mischievous boy in school. He likes to tease the teachers and all his class mates too. David al- ways did like to make a noise and is always known hy his walk downstairs. He is great on playing trieks and can look so innocent. Among David's g'ood traits-this we must admit-he always wears a smile. From his autobiography we quote the falloiviiigz In the Ilall of 1917 I entered C. T, H. S. and was soon shoved in public life. Right at nrst I was admired for neatness in writing. Immediately I got to work, stayed up late at nights, worked and crammed, yet it pleased the faculny lwhat else is there 1 i school life anywayj and so I have kept up through the entire two years. THE SOPHOMORES A Sophomore class, in number eight Attend C. T. H. S. They're always there, but sometimes late, Tho this, we hate to confess. There are four girls, there are four boys' All happy, bright, and gay, Some day they'll be of great renown As 'those who know them say. Mary Ethel Scott has curly hair, Of a somewhat yellow hue, She's tall and slim and nicknamed Specksg Her eyes are a grayish blue. 9 A cheerful blond with a sunny smile Is Catherine Richerlt, gayg She's always in for lots of fun And is singing all the day. Mary Walker is 'the smallest one In all the Sophomore classy Brown hair, blue eyes, and very small, Surely a Winsome lass. And yet one more in all she does Is very sure to win, 'Tis Mary Wallace, whom we know Excels with her violin. A comic boy, with very light hair, Five feet, nine, that is his heightg Surely that is David Thompson A Sophomore young and bright.

And last, hut not least of all. tYou will be surprised at this.l An orchestra, we Sophomores have, When WE play, the music is hliss.

A FRESHM LAMAR DELANEY And the little old Ford, it rambled right along. Lamar was a few days late in starting to school, but has made up for it since. He holds the championship for drawing in his class and was als-o elected by a great majority as cheer leader for the school of which he is the beslt yet of those who have held that position. He has often been seen spinning along the road with his Ford filled with girls. It was rumored once that he was thought to have start- ed a bus line between C. T. H. S. and-l He has not been known 'to take much interest in athletics but makes a fine army instructor for the girls when it is too cold to take up school at 9 o'clock. HARRY McEWEN Cal entered high school with a spirit which has been growing every day and which is hard to kill. He is la staunch supporter of the Freshman class, especially when it comes to a color fight be- tween the Freshies and Sophs. He started in the primary grades to be attentive to the girls, so it will be hard to decide what he will be by the time he is. a Senior. The girls had quite an argument one evening which one was going trzlo acclcimpany Cal to the pie social on the 16th. He decided this 1mSe . JOSEPH CHUPINSKY T-here is always an interesting character or two in the incoming class of the high school. Perhaps one of thegmost interesting char- acters this year is that of Joe Chupinsky. He is a lad of great in- terest to us all, as he is very noisy and always talking. What he does not say while studying he makes up in recitation period. When it comes down to asking questions Joe can beat all the rest of his class put together. If his fellow scholars would keep quiet Joe could have the teacher recite the whole lesson simply by asking questions. Nevertheless he is a good scholar and takes great interest in his books. Altho he is noisy and goes by the name of Noisy Joe we would be at a great loss if he would drop out of school. A N 23. CLASS HAZEL SHEPHARD One of the interesting facts about a Freshman is that they are always curious to know everything that goes on. Some of them are very quiet and hardly ever say a word to upper-classmen. It was of this nature that Hazel Shephard came into High School. When the other classes had a meeting she wanted to know all about it. Altho this is one example there are many others wh'-re Hazel has to find out things that Freshmen should not know until they are told, for once they hear something it spreads like fire among their class mates. Hazel also has some good points which are not yet known. If you need help she is always willing to aid you and welcomes every one with a smile, both pleasant and happy, and will give some one a merry chase to take her place in class. MARK KELSO Mark Kelso i-s a fine little chap. He is one of our Freshmen as you have heard before, and thinks it hard to disobey: but wait 'till he becomes a Sophomore and starts to eye up the girlsg then his Junior year comes and the case seems to be worse, but he will soon lie a Senior and then will be wise and live up to the motto Safety irst. ALPHONSINE Dc-BLANIJER As her name is great and one of old it is no wonder Alphonsine uses such large worlds in English. We sometimes are inclined to think she has devoured a dictionary. She is never slill and has a smile and a joke for every one she meets. so we have come to the conclusion that she is a joke herself. GRACE ALLAN Small, little, short, diminutive, brief, young, concise, quick, alert. Tute was among the lively, loyal little Freshmen who entered school in 1918 and is found to be a lovable, Brown eyed child, and a willing and enthusiastic worker. She is a member of the Whittier Literary Society of which she is greatly honored. Many weary noon hours are spent by the music furnished by Grace and her com- panions. She is a very good basket ball player and has the honor of being the best foul shooter. She is very fond of teasing the boys and very quick in getting away in such a way that she is never caught..
