8 THE CUCKOO Marvenia Miller (Ennie) “So sweet the hliish of hashfulness, Even pity scarce can wish it less.1’ We could not accept Marvenia as genuine if she were not characterized by this blushing hashfulness (?), this youthfulness of heart, tins sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Her kind nature makes her loved by all who know her. Academic Course; Alumni Editor, Cuckoo; Class Day. . .John Powell (Jack, Johnnie, Leviticus) “O bed! () bed! dcicious bed!

Hush!” General Course; Senior Play; Athletic Play; Art Editor of Cuckoo; Mixed Quartette; Class Play. Gilbert Cox (Coxey) “And when there’s a lady in the ease, You know all other things give place.” “Preacher Cox” and his flock of girls from every class in the high school are getting to he so e.immon that we are looking for him to make his choice in Turkey next.

THE CUCKOO 9 Willard Rindlaub (Scotch) “Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look, Such men arc dangerous.’’ Although Willard has a decided fondness for the fair sweet things he does not allow this to require all of his time and attention.
