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

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

ETHEL LYON She possesses a friendly disposition and a keen intellect. Never to shirk a duty and never to waste time, seems to be her motto. A fine reader, skilled in use of peucil and brush, and gifted with more than the ordin ary amount of common sense, she is o good representative of the class. HUBERT McTIGUE He is as solemn as a judge, Tint seldom ever bears n grudge. He ’s six feet tall and strong and big. Well, can't yon guess? It’s Bert McTigue He’s very strict in morals too, No slip-shod part for him will do. His work is seldom poor, you see; That ’a why he always gets an •' E.“ MAE MACKEY Dignified, but not stiff, jolly, but not to the extent of silliness, she possesses a personality that wins friends. She is very fond of out door life as is evidenced by her appearance of health and vigor. “Time that is once lost, is lost forever,’’ seems to be her motto. MARIE MARSH Marie Marsh is a rather likable girl of our Junior class. She has a low, soft voice, which sounds plaintive and plpading. In a class room she seems not to have much to say about the subject in hand, yet when called upon, she appears to have given her lessons careful consideration. JOHN MAYER Johnnie Mayer of political fame may not altogetl»er live up to his name. John may not be a governor, nor yet a president, but he surely will be mayor, for. some such fate he's meant. LOUISE MENGER Her eyes, her smile, denote a dreamy nature. She dreams on. even when the bell rings for classes. When she awakens she is inclined to be a bit noisy, but this noise usually signifies work l eing done. She occasionally talks. BEATRICE METTEL Her recitations might be improved, but she is young yet; there is still another year before her. She is very fond of parties, chewing gum and using pet names. CLAIRE MILLER She may look sleepy but apj earances sometimes deceive. Sbe never was known to use any but that “still small voice, and has not been seen running any foot races. A tranquil existence is hers. We wonder what she would do if she saw a mouse. ROSE MILLMAN Rose Millman, meaning well, often says what she does not mean. Always in a hurry, dropping pencils, spilling ink, fussing with her liair. tying loose shoe-strings, her life is one rush. To atone for this she never keeps her teachers waiting, but pops out the first answer that comes to her mind. LILLIAN MOLITOR “No wind-moved willow by the brook had even half the grace. Majestic and dignified she floats through the hall from room to room. Her skill as a pianist is equalled only by her skill as a typist. STELLA MOSKOVITZ Stella Moskovitz with her kindly, straightforward disposition appeals to people, and wins them. She is a faithful worker and tries to find out the right thing to do, but always attends to her own affairs. No one can accuse her of wasting time over irresolution. FLORENCE MULLEN Florence Mullen, pleasing by her simple manner, is always interesting. The chin resting upon her hand with frowns shadowing her face, is her pose when puzzled or deeply interested. Generally, her speaking gray eyes challenge a smile from every friend, and this is the characteristic one likes best to recall. RALPH MULLEN Ralph Mullen who tries to npe Webster, As a debater, Has also established a reputation, A« a woman hater. 94
