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.

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.

She is one of the best sports High School can boast. Nothing disturbs her even frame of mind. Coming into chapel ten or fifteen minutes late or failing in her Virgil are as mere trifles to her. At tennis she is a whiz, at basket-ball a shark. When anyone is in trouble, Mike always acts as comforter. Her first thought is always for others. Mike has some rules for easy living which we thought if published would be good for mankind. Here are just a few: 1. Sleep as late as possible in the morning. Rising early spoils your disposition. You know the saying goes Better late than neverf' 2. Don't exert or inconvenience yourself by studying. The teachers won't mind. Cut school whenever possible. . Don't take any books home to study especially when there is a good movie actress on in the evening. In spite of these rules Mike has her good qualities. Her classmates say 'AGO to it, Mike, we wish you good luck. 3. 4 CHARLJQS EIJKSAR HARBOUR Barbour by name but not by trade A mathematical rep'l he has made. Studiousness and industry he has by right And who ever heard of his starting a tight. But in chemistry and English he makes us grin As he tries to tell the teacher where to head in. Around the ladies he is no fool. If you want proof! 'just ask Irma Coolf Dnisv ELSIIE BIOWIQR What a wonderful typist this buxom young lady is. Surely she will make her mark in the business world. She will have no trouble holding down a job not only because of her effi- ciency but also for other reasons. She is a regular live wire, always on the move, nervous,, fussy and full of fun. She must be a terrible worry to her teachers. W'e have noticed that she has been losing weight recently. On searching for the underlying cause of this deep and per- plexing mystery we have discovered that Daisy has been do- ing the housework. Poor child! She is working herself to skin and bones. And then as she is doing the cooking she is probably not being nourished properly. But we are sure she enjoys it and this experience will be of use to her later in 1 e.
