wants to be famous, and she has succeeded, for she’s the only real, genuine, dyed-in-the-wool originator of the smile that won’t come off. Cameron, Margaret Elizabeth. Korn July 28, 1905. She objects to being called Peg. Lizzie, Eliza, Beth, or anything except that with which she began her high school career. Miss Cameron. We’ll please her, for she’ll not be with us long. Carraher, Nell. She appears to be about seventeen, but appearances are deceiving. She says she s only fifteen, but she won’t let us see the records, so we’re inclined to doubt her word. Everybody agrees, however, that sheT. not die for a long time, as she has a tenacity of purpose which will not always permit her to do that which is best. Catron, Frank. Khidippides the Second. He s Centrals star sprinter, was captain of last year s track team. He'd like to be a Greek teacher, and consequently will not. He’s thinking of taking the position of vice-president of the United States, thus moving up from the office of chief scribe of the Senior Class. Chandler, Frank Kieth. Bom August 8. 1862. One of the heavy weights. He tips the scale at an even hundred. He’s a long distance runner; and will take the longest run he’s ever had when he passes in English literature. Chandler, Hazel Kirk. Exceedingly young, having been born in 1905. She likes frank-ness, and the chafing dish where she is continually making clsh rarebit. Will die at the ending of the happy school days. Cohen. Max G. Another heavy weight, noisy and pugnacious. He’d like to have as big feet as some of his classmates possess. Rather absent minded. For this reason we cannot predict his death, for he d probably forget to die at the proper moment. Clark, Imogene. Born January 31, 1901. Exceedingly juvenile in all respects. She's often mistaken for a freshman. which fact so mortifies her that she’s dying a slow and lingering death. Collins, Lee. She's proud of her speaking ability, her high grade of physics work, her puffs, her curls, and her looking glass, the extent of which is greater than that of any other in school. She’ll die on her fortieth birthday, May 23. 1941. Connell, Evan Shelby. A scientist of the first water. A quiet and unassuming little lad. who can always be told by his modest and demure gaze. Owing to this trait he asked that his age be not published, and we comply with his request. He was born in i860 and will quit eating in 1920. Corse, Cornelia Howland (1870-). She has always had the erroneous idea that one should study while in school. Her only recreation is fashion plates. She’d like to be like her sister in everything except in the matter of dying. She can’t choose between the two alternatves. Corse, Louie Margaret. Older than Cornelia, but wishes she were a twin. She sees no use in studying, but is exceedingly fond of play. She intends to be a gym teacher, so she can teach young playful ones how to do aesthetic dancing. Cotter, Georgia. Born 1895, and won t die because when she gets hold of something she won’t let go. She'll hold on to her breath forever. For this reason we predict that she’ll be rich some day, for she’ll hold on to her millionaire until the proper time. Dahn, Grace Gertrude. Born June 3, 1867. Her ambition is to discover the Fountain of Youth, for she needs it soon. Meanwhile she drinks Fountain of Youth dis-

He will die a death suitable for a dignified Ichabod when mumps shall claim him for her own. January 17, 1913. Davis, Helen. Born 1876. She talks little and says less. She’s a slang expert, for which reason she'd like to be an English teacher. Her obituary will be written. August 31. 1916. Dayton, Frank. Born May 24. 1886. Ever since his entrance to the high school he has been a most serious student, in fact, a regular grind. The rest that he takes while shooting paper wads, fooling with his ink well, and playing with his knife is not sufficient for his strenuous labors, so he will die of over work and a broken heart at not being able to live. Deane, Martha Ruth. Born 1882. and has lived up to her name ever since. She’s a hard worker and has a bunch of grades that would stagger a co-ed in a university. She died from paralysis of the brain, caused by studying too hard. Deichman. Fred. Another hard working student.

He will bid his last farewell when the colic calls him in 1956. Dobel. Marie. She says she's twenty-three, which we know is not the case. However, as we don’t care to have a suspicion roused against our veracity in the minds °f our readers, we won’t publish her true age. Notwithstanding her age she likes candy, and for it she s going to die. Dresbach. Lillian May. Lillian was born in 1903 and is not mature enough to appreciate the architectural beauty of the building, the kindness of her teachers, and the good qualities of the Freshmen. Consequently, she’s been at school but four years and has resisted all entreaties for her return. She'll relent before she goes to the land of chicken pox, however, and she’ll wish she had. Edwards. George R. Born June 3. 1899. A star member of the football and basket ball teams. He also shines round the feminines. Locomotive attaxed him. and he succumbed. Entrekin, Roscoe Moore.
