Louise is one of our basketball girls. In turn, she has been captain of the sophomore. junior and senior teams, and this year she realized the height of her ambition and won a much coveted She stands high in her studies, is popular with her teachers, and first in the hearts of her friends-who could say more? JOANXA ELIZABETH BEST. 'fCalm and llflflllqlfd as the szmimcr sea. Though the rest of us may worry and rush for coming exams., though work may be piled on us. Joanna never gets fussed. This does not mean that she is very quiet, though. for she certainly is the best of company. However, her excellent poise may have something to do with the Es she accumulates.

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

ROSA BRESLAUER. She's cz boiuzie wee lass, She's a wizzsome wee lass. Although Rosa came originally form New York City, she has become Wasliingtonized and Cen- tralized like the rest of us. She has the happy faculty of always doing well in her studies with- out putting an extra amount of time on them. Rosa is very fond of dancing and a gay social life probably occupies the rest of her time. Al- though she expects to teach A'Die Kleine Kinderl' in the future, those of us who know her best think that something else will turn up in the meanwhile. HELEN CAMPBELL BUELL. The gentle maid by gentle deeds is kll07,Ull.,, With her blue eyes and dark hair, Helen has always been a bright spot in Study Hall l. Al- though shc has not actively engaged in our school activities, her time has not been wasted, as a fine collection of E's on her report bears wit- ness. Helen is not going to college, but will stay home and help keep house-for whom? FLORENCE M. BUNDICK. Basketball Team, 1911-lZg Class Poetess, Class of February, 1912. A maid demure and debonairef' The basketball team was considerably weak- ened by Florence's graduation in February, as she was a veteran player on the seven. The school at large also was the loser when this well- known and well-liked girl left us. She was ever smiling in our midstg and some of those smiling sentiments were embodied in her excellent class poem, too. 20
