Her hair a sprinkle of sunshine Her blushings how pretty- E Virginia isn't easy to get acquainted with, but when you do her winning personality holds you, Good luck, .fB,Jin.., JOHN FRANCIS BEHAN, BlMBl Track 131. They say still Waters run deep and here's a good illustration. John is not one of these rambunctious, hair raising, Whirlwind boys who live for a good time only. He gives seriousness and thoughtfulness their proper places and waits till he gets away from school for his fun. So he's getting ahead and the best part of it is we are all glad. WILLIAM PETER BENDER Radio 131. Hail our daring explorer! William thrills the occupants of Home Room 3 every morning with his thrilling tales of adventures, hunting the elusive mosquito in the Wilds of the peninsula. Nevertheless, VVilliani is at sterling friend and some day we will probably hear that he has carried off some high honors using the rod or the gun.

RUTH ISABELLE BARR, BOBBY The old saying that goo-d things come in small pack- ages is just what fits little Bobby, with her ready smile and a contagious giggle. She is expecting to enter the business world, but WOE to her poor employer if she tries out her little trick of vamping. MARGARET ELIZABETH BAUSCHARD She is always smiling, She is always gayg Her happy disposition XVill bring her joy some day. Central will certainly miss Margaret's cheerful smile and her pep and we are all sure she will make a success of everything she undertakes. RUFUS VOSBURGE BAXTER BUSTER He's one of the smartest boys we have but all the teachers dread to see him coming in their rooms. He's rather rambunctious. But despite his jokes he made Miss Connell's famous college class and puts a lot of his fellow students in the shade. He is the one bright spot of the day to Mr Wallace and has stayed with him a couple of years. Better than any other thing you can say for Rufus is-the boys all like him. 14

Did you ever see Jennie when she did not have a smile on? lf so, you may be sure there was something seriously wrong, be- cause Jennie and her smile are inseparable, Jennie will soon equal Alma Gluck. Jolly, lovable girl, willing to help everybody,-that's Jennie. JOHN BORLAND, JOHNNY Spokesman Manager 141 5 Olympian Club 141 5 Council 141. John was thought to be vamp proof for a long time, but at last he succumbed to a bright eyed damsel and has been susceptable ever since to everyone's delight. John's chief characteristic is his dry, droll humor which has caused more than one disturbance in the Spokesman room. He also has persistence as he's worn out several pairs of shoes trying to get advertisements for our magazine, EDNA MAE BOYD, ED Basketball 1217 Dramatic Club 1415 Girls' Chorus 1419 Girls' Society 131, 141. Ed is one of Central's cheerful students, and she's always on hand when there is any fun. She is going out into the business world. Although We Wish her much success We are afraid she'll not get very far as there is a certain someone who thinks Ed is a dandy cook. THOMAS PRESSLY BOYD, TOM lVith his broad smile and winning ways, Tommy has won for himself a place in the heart of every Centralite. VVe wonder why so many of the girls always go to Old- field's for their shoes XVe give Tommy our best Wishes for successful business career.
