THE ALLEGHAXIAX 13 History of Senior Class HROUGH sorrows and trials we have passed together, and yes there have been even a few joyous times for the unlucky thirteen—the bad class which has tried the patience of all the teachers, and has never yet broken the record of gaining the illest will of both fate and the pro¬ fessors. But I will record as best I can a few, very few, characteristics and the tiniest bit of history of each of the deserving students who have kicke d the obstacles out of the way and are anxiously awaiting the presentation of a sheepskin. Guy M. Turner is the gifted lawyer of our class, who has always been our counsellor in all affairs, be they of war or peace. But the mischief in his eye re¬ veals to us the fact that Guy M. would rather read a Diamond Dick than to ponder over a law book. James Fife Hughes Samples, commonly known as “Sugar, has always gained the good will of all those with whom he has associated. Perhaps it is his cheery disposition or the perpetual smile in his eyes. Fife likes to go to school. Often when we are enjoying a holiday he will sit for hours in the forsaken building, but farmers as well as philosojthers have to ponder over certain things. Raymond Werner is our greatest physicist. We call him “Raymond the Bash¬ ful.” Oh, we have tried so hard to make Raymond like us girls, but somehow it won’t work. Perhaps Raymond’s head is too full of unbounded sciences, or sense, or maybe it’s all in the girl. Preston Hawkins is the boy whom all the girls would love, but you know, “Love no man, not even your brother ; if girls must love, they must love one an¬ other.” But why can’t we love Preston? All the teachers love Preston, but I guess its because he studies and he l ' nows. Ruth and Grace Mahaney, like all the rest of us, have always gone to this school. Ruth, now, “honest injun”-—this is history based on facts—Ruth loves to study. Of course it’s improbable and seems impossible, but nevertheless ’tis true, Ruth loves to study. Malskinner Payne is one of the twin cherubs of the class. She lias loads of dark hair—yes, lots even when she forgets her rats and puffs. They say rats have gone out of style, but I hope not, for they are so essential to Mallie’s good looks. Malskinner can ' t do many things, but gee! she can play. Her music inspires us to do anything, even to climb the Alps.
