HARRIET ESTHER HYDE Esther HI-Iappy am I, from care I am jree, Why aren't they all contented lilfe me? Bashetlnall -3, .Q Ah! Here she comes, her face lit up with smiles. Esther is a happy-go- lucky girl who lets nothing Worry her. She is always full of fun and ready for a good time. Esther is a great athlete, and for two' seasons now she has been our star forward in basketball. Esther usually gets enough points herself to beat the opposing team and sometimes she even gives a handicap to boot. Next to basketball, Esther shines at stenography, and in the future she should grace some exquisite oflice as the pretty Mstenogl' of a multi-millionaire.

Athletic Assn. 4 Class Basketball Q, 3, lf Rebecca has always been a most helpful member of our class. She has helped make our social events successful by her constant presence-what would we have done without her? She loves the social life and might easily be called our social butterfly . Yet she never neglects her studies for dates or dances, if you don't believe it, go to the oflice at Drury and see for yourself her brilliant record. She is the happy -est person We know of and could never be guilty of a grouch. Her natural curly shingle-bob is the envy of many of our girls- for it contributes largely to her reputation as our best looking girl. 27

JOSEPH GEORGE HOROWITZ D Gidge Ii fakes brains fo put up a good bluff. Football 4 Acafleme Staff 4 Haykfilyall 4 Track .4 Class Boolr 4 Despite his numerous extra-curriculum activities, George has always man- aged to keep his name on the honor roll. George is admitted to be one of the best-looking boys in the senior class. He admits it himself. He has been trying for six weeks now to find out who the girl was who voted for him as the best-looking fellow in the Senior Class. He says it is so pleasant to meet someone with similar tastes. George's ability as a practical joker is shown by the.fact that he once succeeded in April-fooling hir. lVIcGrory, a feat which reflects considerable glory on anyone's brain power. Next year he will be wearing a little round headgear with a green button on top, and we pity the VVilliams Sophomores when they begin to match wits with him. MILDRED HOYVLAND Mildred Silence is golden. Here is Mildred, a most demure little Miss. lVIildred has been very faithful in her attendance, considering the distance she has had to come to school. But then, Mildred is not easily discouraged, and a little snow or rain did not dismay her. Next year she plans to go to Normal and later become a teacher. but her best friends doubt it because of a certain person who lives in Maine. VVe al- ways wondered why she was so interested in that section of the country, but now the secret is out. Anyway, the class of 1924 wishes her the best of luck whether she goes to Normal School or to Nlaine. Q6
