Then look about and see if Martha isn't near. She is a happy-hearted young miss. When seen she is either smiling or giggling. This does not occur only on sun- shining days when any one can be happy, but on gloomy days also. Sometimes Martha does become provoked at the way things go but never long enough for any one to miss her giggle. I Mart, as she IS called by her close friends, is a commer- cial girl who has done good work in her four years at High. It is said that she gets rather fussed when called upon in a classroom and begins at the wrong end of the story. But what does that matter? Mart ,knows her lesson or she could not begin at the end. Some of her classmates make good be- ginnings, but alas, the woeful endings! Martha says she is going to be a stenographer and we hope she sticks to this and does not go to New York as a certain sailor lad wants her tO. THOMAS IlARRlSON ALLEN , Tomi is a very industrious fellow. VVe very seldom see him idle. If he is not studying, he is perusing some book. He has become quite popular in our class during these four years, He says he is bashful but if you would see him entertaining the ladies with his wit and little stories,'l as he calls them, you would change your mind. He has a nice little blush that makes him look as if he is getting embarrassed but not sog when this happens he is just at his best and can 'tpull off some real jokes. Tom is well suited for almost anywhere he is placed, from singing to playing football. He even tries his hand at poetry and occasionally gives us little love verses. His best was the one that he wrote for Barbour to set to music, which went something like this: Ye Gods and little fislzrs Oli how I crave your lusrious kisses, ctr. IDA ELIZABETH Hl'ILLER Good-natured and ready to do a kindness for anyone is this modest young lady of '19. She is so modest and unas- suming in her manner that only a few of her classmates have had a chance to End out some of her best qualities, one of which is to blush. But you know tihat there is always a rea- son for blushing. She is so shy of the boys that frequently she will turn down a side street when she sees one coming her way. Once upon reciting about a certain author in English class she said, After he was married the people didn't like him any m.ore.'l VVe sincerely hope that her views upon mar- riage are not so narrow. But if so now, we are sure they will change. Although very studious this young lady is always ready for a lark. She has heard what larks the girls who work at Washington have, so her chief ambition is to go to that city to work. By this we know that all ther thoughts are not for work alone. VVe sincerely hope that this wish may be ful- tiller.

Dot, . who is now up for discussion, is by far the most popular girl in school. Through our whole four years in. High School she has been class secretary. She is the pres1dent's right hand man and he finds that she is indispensable. Her dramatic ability is wonderful. She makes recitations fairly quiver Wltll emotion. Her rendition of The Little Ships in our last declamation contest will never be forgotten. As editor-in-chief of the 1919 Echo her work needs no introduction. All her leisure time has been put on her an- nual board work. I don't know what we should have done without her for she keeps us all sltraight, including the presi- dent. You may think she spends all her time studying and' work- ing. Mistaken again for she is fairly bubbling over with life and if you have ever heard her laugh- nuff-sed. JACOB CLARENCE PETERS If electricity were music Pete would be a jazz band in himself, for he knows more about electricity than any other two boys in high school. His knowledge is not confined here either for he is a mathematician of no little repute. Studious he is and athletic he isn't. Do not for a minute friends let us lead you into the idea of his being a siss or a goody- goodyf' for he has a few lititle black dots to his name on the unwritten book of demerits. All teachers deem it their duty to seat the boys up front! but when a sub came Clarence Peters could be found in the extreme back row with the rest of them. Pete's career among men can be prophesied as great, but his attitude toward the fair-sex we deplore. Why! it even took strategy to get those snapshots of him and the girls. LENORE Jos14:PH1Niz RHODES 'Ti.r the songs yr' ring, And the seminar ye 'w1'a1', Thai anakrxr the sun .rhzne cvr'1'ywl1c1'e, must surely be Lenore's motto, for she always has a smile for everybody. She is so amiable, she would not hurt the feel- ings of a dog. That is the secret of her popularity, and a trait of character to be admired. Nonnie is very popular with the boys, but no wonder. just look at her picture and then decide for yourself if her face is not her future. Our Nonnie is quite an accomplished young lady, for you can Put her on the dancing floor or put hm' in the Gym, Put her in the classroom or put hm' in the lake And Miss Nounic Rlzodcs will bc sun' to take the cake. But, no, she isn't perfect. She has her own opinions about things and a characteristic stubbornness that accom- panies themg but after all that is not such a bad trait, and Lenore is a pretty good Skatef'

When Irene gets started, fand it doesn't take much to start herb she goes like an express. Sometimes she talks so fast she has to stop to get her breath. But never mind Irene, you usually know what you're talking about, and that is more than can be said of some of the rest of us. Irene is a firm believer that- There are times for study, There are times for play, There are times to be serious, There are times to be gay, and she simply will not let invitations interfere with her les- sons. But other times, when there is any fun on board one is sure to hncl Irene in the midst of it. Recently in a letter, intending to write I'm head over heels in work,', Irene by mistake, Cshe says,j wrote I'm head over heels in love. Amazing expression for Irene! And the worst of it is, the mystery is yet unsolved. MAURICE SIERER RITTER One out of that select few who claims the honor and dis- tinction of sleeping on the front bench in Miss Mickey's class. He gets away with it, too. Pete,l' f'No matter how much 'walnut stain' you have on your fore fingers youlll have to grow a little before you can continue your career as a pool shark at Elliott's. 'fMa'reese CMauriceQ put peppery pepper upon the pret- ty posies of Miss Mummert. Far be it from me to say that Pete is lazy but we kind-0' believe that he has a constitutional aversion for work. Nevertheless, with all his faults, Pete is a darn good French student and the life of many a class room. MARGARET MCDOWFILL Margaret came to us this year as a worthy representative of Lemasters Higfh School students. She has black hair and dark eyes, and a calm disposition envied by many of us. Slhe does not seem to get at all excited when a teacher calls on herg she smiles, answers, and does not worry any more about lt. Margaret's charms won the admiration of a former school teacher, but sad to say, he had to go to war. She does not have any one in our faculty to experiment on so she antici- pates his return. If you, Cthis is for ladies onlyj want to learn more about him, just hang around and get her started and she will show you his picture and tell you all about him. But she does not restrict herself to school teachers alone. Her charms have enthralled several members of our class and Bi M considers it quite a pleasure to stay at school until Five o'clock in the evening to walk along over to the station to see her off.
