BEN GOLDMAN “This young man is like a fighting Bob, Always alert and right on the job, He is, in fact, as one might say, One who makes the most of every day. SAMUEL GOLDSTEIN He works untiring all period long, “Oh, help the laborers, is his song. His tnlk is interesting, essays fine, Then, clever is Samuel Goldstein. HELEN GOODMAN A proud little Miss, she carries herself with an air of dignity, takes a tragic part in basket ball, besides comedy parts in other activities. She never is found to be grouchy, which fact explains itself when we remember that she is extremely fond of sweets. CARL GROTII Carl Groth is about medium height you know, And he was very sure no higher he would grow. But alas, his thoughts did not come true, For in three years an inch taller he grew. LYDIA GUHL Smiles often, laughs seldom; talks little, says much; friendly to all, yet intimate with none: We all would love her if she would only grant us an opportunity. RICHARD IIAAG This youth, Richard Haag, has one of those foreheads that denote brightness. He talks very little but has deep thoughts. In faot he is so quiet that a cyclone will not change his condition of equanimity. When he starts to talk he usually says something that makes the class “sit up and listen.” PAULA HAMMER How came this head so full of rhetoric and grammar f It was pounded into it by Paula’s little Hammer. MARTHA HANSEN On first acquaintance she seems a very quiet sort of girl. She tries hard in class to hide herself in obscurity behind the person in front. When her name is called, she stands and produces the correct answer, to the surprise of her classmates who thought her dense, because she seemed quiet and backward. WILLIAM HARBAUGH You can tell by William Harbaugh's blue eyes that he is a very wise boy. He has great dreams so it seems that some day he will become a great man. But alas! when he leaves school and works under his own rule lie will find working is not quite the same as going to school. EDNA HENNING “O violet, by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye, Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky.” RAYMOND IIERRON So childlike in his stature; and so manly in his power; now so full of fun and cheer; and then so cross and grave; courteous a: all times; a torment between times;—to his classmates he’s “that little Raymond Herron. ’1 RUTH HERSCHOWITZ Our timid little friend, Ruth Herschowitz, can heat any one in her class in a Marathon race (of talking). And yet we all love her. for “in time of need she is a friend indeed. ’ ’ ABRAHAM HERSKOVITZ Our Abe is small in stature, But his voice and brain are great; His class would cheer with rapture Should he steer the ship of State. ANNA HERWALD Anna Herwald, a most interesting girl, is built on exactly the right scale. Modest, mischievous and studious, at once; ready for a reply to every question raised in class, she still intersperses her answers with her favorite connective “an’a.” Otherwise, ulertness and wisdom characterize her every action. 92

FLORENCE DORSEY A very sedate maid in the class-room. She very seldom answers questions. We do not know the reason. She is very sociable among the crowd of girls where you would not take her to be the same girl. EMMA EGING Emma Eging is a tiny little girl and quite saucy too; aud she writes her shorthand with a swing to it, that is charming. She always smiles and never sighs, this little lass called “Dutchman” by nil those who know her and love her. DORIS EGLESTON A blue-eyed maid of puzzling nature. When you think her gloomy, she breaks into laughter and conversation; when you term her gay, she may surprise you with the serious dignity of her manner and speech. HAZEL FAWCETT A voice as low as a summer zephyr. She speaks and we listen because her voice seems to soothe one, after hearing the loud tones of other . She has a smile and pleasant greeting for all and is known as Hazel Fawcett. THOMAS WILSON FIELD, JR. Thomas Wilson Field, Junior, is not a relative of our new President, but may some day become president (of a trust). He studies, now, every night, to corner all the knowledge in books. Mischievous? Yes. You can sec that in his eyes; but he is withal the best of fellows. HENRY FISCHER Henry, Commerce’s cherub, Smiling and meek. Lacking wings, he presents a Snrplus of cheek. RUDY FOREIT Pretty girls adore him, But all the fair ones bore him; When they smile, he only blushes And solemnly away he rushes. CELIA FRIEDMAN She quietly, yet earnestly seeks knowledge; sifts it and stores away the valued grains. “No time that's lost can ever he regained: that, apparently, is her rule of life. EMILY GAISER There’s a girl whose name is Emily GaLser, Who is trying to make herself somewhat wiser, She has soft, hazel eyes, and a voice that is low, But anything further I 'll admit I don’t know. HAZEL GALLOWAY She does her work—that is good, She does it well—that is better. She should, however, believe more strongly in her own ideas and not be afraid to express them. HELEN GEDEON Now here comes Helen Gedeon, who, when her troubles begin, sighs, “Oh Land, Oh Land, with that gentle voice of hers. But when she is not troubled, one smile after another chases across her pompadour surrounded face. CLARENCE GIBSON Clarence is one of the smallest boys in the class, but his size is no indication of bis importance. He is very partial to girls, and smiles at all of them impartially. He admires what he terms, “Mr. Heald’s ability to teach English,” and be plans to step into that gentleman 'a position at no far distant time. ROBERT GILLILAND Robert Gilliland is au old-fashioned and courteous boy of sixteen, who keeps as shy of the girls as a mouse should of a eat. Outside of school, they say he is as jolly as any of the boys. He is true to his work and achieves much because of his earnestness. 91

MARGARET HOHMANN Margaret the daisy, is modest and sweet; And in her comical recitations she can't he beat. LEONA HORN Light-haired, blue eyed; never known to talk or laugh loudly, and evidently prefers to be seen and not heard. Her modesty is so great that she is not given credit for the wisdom she really possesses. MYRTLE ISAAC Myrtle Isaac is an ardent suffragette, And as an orator she may rival Webster yet. BESSIE JELINEK Here is a tall, more or less dignified brunette, who seems to be in the toy stage yet, because of her playing with things on her desk. Her merry disposition is often made known in the halls by her hearty laugh. IRENE JELINEK “Ah me! Ah me I” poor Irene sighs, “I wish I could be worldly wise, For banking, poetry, I yearn, but these with ease I can not learn.” Irene, don’t worry o’er your pack, we all have loads upon our back, So even if you can't be poet you are an author don't you know it? ELSIE JOKAY Elsie Jokay also is a Junior of our school We can tell her from her sister by this little rule; Elsie’s ring on her left, on the right hand the ring of her double, 80 now, tell which is which without further trouble. KARLA JOKAY Ruskin says, “Tell rue what you like and I will tell you what you are.” Karla likes Elsie, therefore she must be like her. SARAH KAMNETZKY That eager look only betrays her interest and alertness. She pursues grades as a hunter chases the deer and seldom ceases her efforts until the game is hers. EDWIN KIRIAN One might not recognize iu Edwin Kirian a football star, he appears so quiet. Tall, kindly-looking and very neat, one would, however, notice him anywhere. Jovial and popular with the boys, in class he seems half timid, but shows earnestness and a determination to be respected for what lie is, no sham. DAVID KLEIN Very bashful, very quiet, and somewhat slow in movement, he nevertheless impresses you with his quiet determination. Perhaps his modesty is due to his being outnumbered by girls, twenty-five to one. And why does he play with the ink bottle while he recites? For protection? WALTER KRAUSS Walter Krauss has been tried by his English class in debate, and has proved a judge of rare ability. He, also, possesses a jovial disposition, and bis many friends at school crowd around him at uoon, listening to his witticisms. Jokes arc always sure to receive appreciation from him. PEARL KUHN Picture to yourself a medium-sized, brown-haired, round-faced, brown-eyed, dimpled and rosy-cheeked young lady, one who will never have to consult a beauty doctor, vigorously debating on the restriction of immigration. And that is Pearl Kubn. (She persists in believing that she should have won the debate.) NETTIE LEVENSON Nettie Levenson, haviug an object in view, devotes time to its attainment. When with the girls, her jokes are among the brightest, and her laugh at another's joke is in itself a pleasure. Whether considering fun. penmanship, or woman’s rights, she is in it for all she is worth. ROSE LUSKEY Violets and daisies on mountain and by sea, But can one find another smiling Rose Luskey ? 93
