Blost anyone can tell you the story of his WIIfLIAM CHEQTER HURLBUT LAUREN EMERY HURD .lcafleme Staff J, lt .rlcadenze .'1.s.voz'z'afz'on 2, 3, .Q Vlasx Bowl: .4 YVQ are really at a loss to know where to begin with this talented young man. For three years he led a rather quiet existence, but Oh, my! his senior year. His work on the Acaclelne could not be improved on. By hard, con- scientious edorts and heart-rending pleas, he raised the school paper to a new standard of excellence. Yes, he is an actor, too. As leading man in the Senior play he covered himself with glory, interpreting a difficult role in a most clever manner, even in the third act. There was a time when Hurdy gave us alarm lest he become an old bachelor, but recent events seem to point to the con- trary. He is undecided about next year, but we wish him the best of luck in whatever he undertakes. 4, .ff Latin career but he, himself, is the best narrator of this tale. He is also a good story teller and can repeat the Hot Apple Turnover story almost by heart. Chet is a steady patron at the Lunch Counter and claims hlrs. YYilder's beef stew the best he ever ate. When it comes to school spirit, no one has any- thing on Chet for he simply loves to play '6By the Light of the lNIoon every time he sees a piano. His easy-going and jolly ways have made friends with everyone he meets, especially his old pal, hir. lNIcGrory. He made quite a hit as the leading man's father in the class play and took great delight in throwing Professor James out of the window. We should not be surprised if he some day becomes one of the country's leading actors. 'V Qs

JOHN HEYWOOD, JR. D Cllass Pre.s'z'denf J, Football 3, .L Ever since he came here as a Hquietn freshman, John has been doing things for Drury. He played football all of his Junior, and some of his Senior year until he broke his ankle. Johnny has never been too busy with athletics to enter into the social life of the school, but he has always been ready to lend a hand at whatever work he was needed. In his last year, the class honored him by electing him president, in which capacity he served with the same faithfulness and enthusiasm which characterized all his efforts. As James VVobbertsH in the Senior play, he furnished most of the laughs of the even- ing. He also served very effectually as baseball manager for a short time. until he was obliged to resign because of leaving school. John is learning to be a printer at the local print works, and we feel sure of his success. The high school needs more workers like you, John.

FLORENCE BL ANCHE JEANTON, FLEE-FLEEH Classlfool. Baslret ball 1, Pro lllerifo 4 - ALICE MARY HYDE Al's', serious moments are few and far between. She is always jolly and ready for fun. Although she never worries much about her lessons she manages to get by. Al's,, hardest trial is getting to school at 7 57, a feat of which she can seldom boast. She will take away the best wishes of the class and will long endure in our minds. Al is undecided about her future, but whatever she does, '19 wishes her the best of luck. Aha! VVe caught her laughing again or we might say yet, because Florence goes around laughing from morning until night. She never worries 1nucl1 except when reports come out, and without cause then, for Florence is na- turally bright, being a member of the Pro Rlerito Society. Florence played on the basketball team this year and evoked a good deal of criticism on the part of her opponent because she tended so strictly to her business of guard- ing. She Was in the Senior play, too, and she says that she was never so tempted in all her life to say No, as she was on that eventful night, llay 23, 1919. Florence intends to enter the business world, and we know that she doesn't need to have success wished upon her. Wle hate to have her leave us, but she's too good to keep so we'll share her with some lucky employer. Q1
