MAX FRIED. He must have adopted the proverb, Speak when you’re spoken to, Come with a call, Come with a good will, Or come not at all. MARGARET BREEN. Now we come to Margaret, CL I No, she’s not a teacher’s pet. She comes to class-room singing a song, £ And always brings her books along; In spite of this, she says, “Gee Whiz, Here comes another written Quiz.” SARAH SOLOMON. A quiet maid with dark brown eyes, And hair like raven’s wings, Who never fills her days with sighs, But works at useful things. KSENIA PUSKA. Not gloomy or fearful, Or morbid or tearful, But pleasant and cheerful. Is this sweet, modest maid. MARGARET HOHMANN. Girls of her type are always desired, She’ll always find work, and never get fired. Keen-witted, careful and full of ambition, She’ll never, we hope, be out of position. 23

ESTHER ARNOLD. This wise little maid-in-law, Who never consulted her paw, Never mixed in a riot, Was always so quiet , This w'ise little maid-in-law. MINNIE CONFIELD. This little lady of modest mien, Finished school when only sixteen. She’s just one fault, how sad to state— She always arrives a minute too late. HENRY FISHER. Our Fisher boy is a nice young man, He’ll do ’most anything, if he thinks he can; He sits and listens to Mr. Heald, Although his mind is out in the field. LENA WEISS. One of the “Wise twins” is pictured here; Clear-eyed and kindly she knows nothing of fear. She is good in her studies, every one; Yet for play is ready when lessons are done. BESSIE JELINEK. This young lady Bessie Complexion so sweet, Appears very dressy And always looks neat. 22

EDWARD MINCH. Edward Minch has dark brown hair and eyes. He has a good-natured, friendly disposition, and is not easily offended. He aims to do his work well, and seems to be popular with every one. LEONA HORN. In neatness she’s beyond compare, In beauty and sweetness the same; I’ve hunted and now am about to despair To write something about this sweet dame. HUBERT McTIGUE. High-minded, thoughtful, brave, of course, With native pride and needed force, Hubert at school made work a joy, And yet was full of fun—a boy. FLORENCE SHANNON. Florence always is careful, her motto’s, Go slow.” Enough time she will take every lesson to know. She never was known to be in a hurry; Her favorite saying is, Well, I should worry.” KARLA JOKAY. Stenographer she fain would be, And others’ letters write; She’d tap the keys with skill and ease And pound with all her might. 24
