RUTH BAKER. Tis as easy nozt' for Ilze lzvart to be true. As the grass to be green, or the sky to be blur. 'Tis her natural way of liking. Ruth is a charming girl and somewhat of a heart-breaker. She made her fourth year friends envious by telling them of her many admirers. She is going to college. and if He is not married when she returns she will fix him, FLORENCE G. BALLINGER. Manager Basketball. 1912: Yice-President of the February Class, 1912. Herd: a tuonzan for you. Behold the belle of the mid-year class! Flor- ence is exactly the feminine counterpart of Sunny Jim. One seldom sees her in a grouch. for she is seldom inclined to that state of mind. It is this unfailing good humor and friendly- word-for-all characteristic of Florence that won her popularity among her classmates. who dem- onstrated their attitude toward her in the class elections. BARBARA ELIZABETH BARTLETT. But file man tuortlz 'zulzile Is the man iclio can smile llillffl creryilzizig goes dead Ix'7'0llg.H lf this is the true criterion of excellence. Bar- bara is certainly worth while to the nth power. Few of us know of the difficulties that have lain across her path to learning, for their existence could never be guessed from her sunny face and jolly ways, but those who do can't say enough in praise of her cheerful perseverance. She has not fully decided what she will do next year. but to whatever field she turns her talents her record here in Central argues well for her success. 17

RUTH THORNTON BEAVERS. Boots Dwell on me, thou dark eye tender. Ruth is one of those girls you simply can't help likingg she has the loveliest brovm eyes and the softest brown hair imaginable. In school she takes special delight in Latin, and she just dotes on peach pie at lunch time. You will have to ask t'Boots personally, who or what Cit is hard to tell which it is? she likes best outside of school. Her principal occupation seems to be in having a good time, Haven't you heard her laugh? NANNIE MABEL BEHNCKE. May. Ein sclitvaiwes braufzvs ,'lIiidclzen, May joined the C. R. 6 crowd in February, but she is so quiet that we hardly realized that she was anywhere around. C, R. 6 is a rather dark room, but when May smiles we have no need of gas light to cause the Board of Education any apprehension about our gas bills. RUTH :XNNETTE BELNAP. Radj. A fig for carp, and zz fig for woe. Ruth favored Central with her presence dur- ing her fourth year only. Previous to that she attended school in Illinois. She was never known to keep still for one minute at a time-that's her distinguishing characteristic! If you want to know why we all like her so well get one look at those blue eyes and that curly hair. If Ruth is a sample of the Illinois girls, we say send us some more. 18
