RAYMOND HERRON. Short in stature; wise by nature, Always full of fun is he; Ixmg on brains and full of kindness, Always ready for some glee. SARAH KAMENETSKY. In class we’ve one ardent and brave suffragette; She believes woman soon her full rights must get; Prizes oft she has won most dear to her heart; In school work she’s willingly shared the hard part. ROSA LAMP. Were a prize ever given for being late, That Rose would receive it, is fixed by fate; Yet, she lived only just across the way. Once at school, she was always happy and gay. FLORENCE MULLEN. When a task is once begun, She will not rest till it is done. Her auburn tresses signify, That she is ever sure to try. NELLIE PALMER. Smiles she gives to every one And takes things as they come; She’s neither heard to use much slang Nor caught a-chewin’ gum. 40

KATE BAKER. Too small to be called Katherine, She’s known to us as Kate. Her senior year, she’s studied hard, And tried to grow sedate. HELEN PEACH. First peach in winter, First peach in fall. Lasts all the year round, Ne’er withers at all. ABRAHAM HERSKOWITZ. His cleverness we easily discern, By noting his expression of deep thought. The name of athlete some day he may earn, By show of strength on battle-fields well fought. IRENE JELINEK. This girl is ever ready to help her classmates. She is never boisterous or loud, but always lady-like. She is of medium height and has blue eyes and light hair. RUTH CALDWELL. Glance aside, and you behold A maid, ambitious, frank, not bold; Athletic, tuneful, ever cheery, She’s studious, bright and never weary. 39

MELANIA CADISCH. Though the youngest of the class is she, She is just as clever as clever can be. Along any line, she can ably debate; To be pitted against her is counted ill-fate. LAURENCE WEIL. In arguing, he oft excels All others round about. He goes ahead, straight to the point. And does away with doubt. HELEN GEDEON. Helen is always seen with a smile on her face and has a pleasant greeting for all her classmates. She never fails to make a good recitation and can afford to smile. FRANCES SELMANOVITZ. First a twinkle in her eye, Then appears a dimple. Thus she smiles to passers-by; It’s truly very simple. LEONARD THUNHORST. A most industrious lad is he; Expert in shorthand he aims to be; His knowledge of English is truly fine, In chemistry too he’ll ever shine. 41
