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.

G2 X ,,r F, LIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll T HE I9 '9 E 0 Illllllillll1lIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll , - I g I llf'lARTHA AIYIQRS Hear a giggle? 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.

She never worries or com- plains about hard lessons. That's the reason she is so popu- lar with the teachers and so successful in her schoolwork. VVe cannot decide just why she likes the Household Arts Course, but we believe it is because she wants to become a more elhcient little 'housewife for some nice young man. Ruth is always ready to lend a helping hand and has a ready smile for any one who catc-hes her eye. She is so friendly and such good company that it is no wonder Harold is enthralled. CVVe're just teasing a bit, Ruth.D If Ruth decides to teach, we know she will be successful, but we d.o not believe she will be permitted to do so long enough to allow her Household Arts knowledge to grow rusty. . ll1lELVIN Scorr WIBLE Oh Boy! Say folks, take hold of each side of your chair, take one long breath and then let your gaze rest on this chap. He is the original nine days wonder and also surprise pack- age of our class. Usually, or rather before the war, Melvin was a very present help in trouble, and all that sort of stuff you know. He would help you do your algebra problems, translate your Latin and explain your Dutch. Quiet and very reserved was Melvin, bashful in the presence of the la- dies with whom he never seemed to have any engagements. He never went out except to take little trips in his Ford after anbutus or peach-snits or something similar. But Melvin does not agree with Sherman's idea of war-he has become a changed lad since he went to Six Mile Run to help Garfield with his coal problem. Yes, folks, he has returned to school but there is something missing about him-and we don't be- lieve it is his liver either. He still takes weekly trips in his fiivver but he goes alone. There is a little saying in her home town which goes like this: They are a perfect eu- genic pair, and their love passeth understanding as well as the requirements of the local board of hygiene. IWARIE ALVI-:RDA SHRIVER Not few are the times we have marched with happy hearts and straightly steps into chapel to the harmonic discord of the 'fold box which was doing its best to keep up with Wee Wee's ninrble fingers. Marie has many accomplishments besides the one we have just mentioned. She is an A-1 student in all her classes. She is a bright and charming little Miss who is always ready to lend a helping hand, which has secured for her many friends. Even the roughest and most hardhearted of 'fcowboysu has fallen a victim. Marie has been blessed with many charms and to quote Milton :- Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown ln courts, at feasts and high solenmities Where many may wonder at the workmanship. ls for homely features to keep at home They had their name thenceg coarse complexions And cheeks of sorry gain will serve to ply The sampler, and to tease the housewife's wool. What need a vermeil-tinctured lip for that, Love-darting eyeS, or tresses like the morn? There was another meaning in these gifts.
