' -. .ra.ra,,., . K 1. .ssgg. FRED VV. HEYDIE XVould he were fatter, but I fear him not. Fred was born in St. joseph, and has blue eyes and brown hair. lle tells us that he is a socialist, but we think this state of mind is due to his earnest struggle with mathematical problems. His favorite amusement is baseball and he loves to improve his mind and imagination by reading such authors as jules Verne Hlld Mark Twain. As yet he is undecided as to his college career. ZORA LORENIE HOCKENBURY There is none like her, none. This young lady was born in Orchid, Missouri, but fortune smiled upon l1er and she moved to St. joseph, and entered the High School with the won- derful class of 1911. Among her distinguished relatives Carrie Nation may be mentioned. Zora intends to study music after leaving High School. ISADORE HASSENBUSCH So sweet and voluableis his discourse, Issy is quite asportsman. One of his greatest delights is a day of hunting and fishing. He plays a great deal, too, both at his lessons and on the piano. After finishing his education at lfVhite River, New Hampshire, he expects to become a furniture merchant.

MARGARET FRANCES HAGEN fllianthianj She is pretty to walk with. and witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on. If all the years in High School are the hardest, and none of them are the easiest, when would you expect to graduate? This is, as you see, a difficult proposition. Yet Margaret has solved it, and has come to the end of her course in regulation time, and very creditably, too. Perhaps, however, it was the inspiration of graduating with a class, which, as she herself declares, surpasses those of all preceding years. Yi 1? HENRY HAX HARTXYIG Wh:-1t's the matter with Heinz? Henry is a robust specimen weighing 180 pounds, hungry. Notwith- standing his TruSti'-like appearance, he is a socialist and is proud of it. Every man of any account has his mentality strained concerning some points. The trouble with t'Heine is history. Although his strong point is history, to whatever he directs his energies he is a success, andthe class has no doubt as to the outcome when he takes up his life work. He intends to increase his weight mentally by attending Missouri University. ELEANOR HENDERSON QClioJ Tl1ought1ess of beauty, she was l1eauty's self, Nothing less than the mixture of English, Scotch and American blood could have produced this Maiden with the auburn hair and beautiful eyes of brown. Eleanor is not only a popular girl and an exceptional student but, also, a musician of no mean rank. After leaving school she intends to devote her time to the cultivation of a voice of which the class is even now proud.

GLENN BRYAN HOOVER Football 08'-'09-'10, Basketball, '09-'10, hliverylmdy likes him, for he's a jolly good fellow. Behold the famous Pinky, a favorite with the class, especially the girls. A relative of Mcliinley, an eager reader of Nick Carter, and an ardent Democrat. He loves all his teachers, but is too bashful to give us his well- known nickname. Glenn goes in for all kinds of athletics and has been a basketball and football player for the past three years. When the proud possessor of a St. J. H. diploma he intends to enter the State University. EDNA GRETCHEN JIEFFRIES Cliianthianl A mind serene for contemplation. This is the talented young poetess who has written the words for the Dianthian song, of which the society is justly proud. Gretchen is another member of our class who has helped materially in making 1911's average scholarship so high. She declares that her favorite amusement is talking, and she certainly does verify her statement by her excellent recitations. ll1l.l.lAlNl AMOS JORDAN CA. N. Pj Mother calls me William, but the fellers call me Bill. Forum static 'OH-'10-' l l. Editor in chief '11, Executive Committee Athletic Association '1l. Track Team '11, Billie is a very modest lad and in a most enlightening manner informs those who inquire into his versatility that he is a descendant of Johnathan Edwards. He is certainly trying to do his part to keep up the standard his forefather has set for him. Willianfs favorite amusement is dreaming over the lines of Walter Camp, Homer, Roosevelt, Churchill, Xenophon, Victor Hugo or maybe Virgil ?f?? It is to be expected that many great men and women will come from the class of '11, but of this blue-eyed youth we expect great things. VVe all hope that he may realize his highest ideal and become the President ofthe highest institution where blue and white are sacred, Yale.
