THE EN-EM OF ’2 5 RAYMOND GROSSNICKLE “Ray” A well-thought-of member of the Senior class. Poor Ray has a great difficulty in trying to keep all his little brothers in line. Another man who understands the science of basketball. “Love once for all.” RUTH CUNNINGHAM. “Jimmy” Here's the little stenographer of the class! Ruth’s all business; she’ll make some man a competent stenographer. She is also one of the renowned warblers of N. M. H. S. Glee Club of 1924-25. Luck to you. Ruth. one acts piously, soberly and temperately, one acts prudently and safely” MERIAM ELLIOTT. “Cream” Dear old “Cream.” she still justly curses her opponent, who struck her in the eye and left her with a droopy eye. ’Twas in a basketball game in which she. inspired with the noble spirit to win a victory for old N. M. H. S., played with vim and vigor. Poor “Cream.” you’re all right, though. “Will she ever make those eyes behave” HELEN JENNINGS, “Runt” When it comes to “hops,” “Runt” is the first one on the floor. Helen was chosen to be one of the principals in our Senior production. “Officer 666,” this year, in which she was a great success. “One is never so likely to settle a question rightly as when he discusses it freely” JOE TILMAN, “Josephus” Our champion jazz executioner! The “Jap” of “Officer 666.” A right keen sport. He’s liked by all. “Intends to go to work when he graduates if he can't find anything better.” Page fourteen

TIIK EN-EM OF ’2 5 MEREDITH LEFFEL “Manny” or “Butch” President of our Senior Class. The life of the class. Doesn’t know what an enemy is—everyone is his friend. Another fifth of our Big Five. “None but himself can be his parallel—in cracking jokes.” RUTH LEHMAN, “Jack” “Pep” is her middle name. Although this is her first year at N. M. H. S., we all feel as if we had known her for years. A star on our Girl’s Basketball team of 1924-25. “That she's a jolly good kid. no one can deny” GWENDOLYN BO LI NGER “Gwen” Our Associate Editor and a good one at that. She’s quite a musician, too. She has a great faculty for using enormous words. “And to think that now we are writing love letters.” NINA ROSS. “Si” Associate Business Manager of the En-Em. Nina has enjoyed privileges which none of us have yet had, having seen a great part of Europe and Asia. “A truly pious mind receives a temporal blessing with gratitude, a spiritual one with ecstasy and transport.” JOE WAGNER, “Frit .” “Fritz” Kreisler the second! Leading man of our “Officer 666.” Another fellow who is as brainy as he is good looking. We’re all for Joe in anything and any time. Joe’s trying to wear out the old covered bridge with his “balloons.” “Just call me a scholar; let that be my praise.” Patce thirteen

THE EX-EM OF ’2 5 MILLARD WENGER. “Goof” A certified referee, if you please! Millard many times has the honor (????) of refereeing our girls in practice (poor Millard). A citizen of Ohio attending N. M. H. S. Do you say he is a flirt? No, that is simply his way LOIS BJORKLUND, “Lo” We never see Lois without Thelma Wright—two inseparable friends. Both Girl Scouts, if you please! And as far as we know. Lois lives up to her code. Laugh and the world laughs with you” MARY BOLINGER. “Bo-linger” Just the type of girl one always associates with the name “Mary.” Although Mary still resumes her curls, she is not lacking in the usual Senior dignity. “Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to win all the duties of life.” RUTH HEESTAND, “Billie”' The leading lady in our first Senior play. “Officer 666.” Also a beloved nurse maid of the N. M. hospital. “A cheerful temper, joined with innocence will make beauty attractive. knowledge delightful, and will good natured.” TODD BENDER. “Specs” Another gentleman possessed with slightly burnt-orange hair. Todd remains true to his type (er—pardon. Todd!). An all-round good sport is this Todd—we all like him. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Page fifteen
