Born an optimist her smiles dissolve all such clouds as failure into thin air. If she has a secret sorrow no one knows it for she rarely frowns. She's jolly and carefree but rainy days will never Catch her unaware for she makes hay while others rest. She is naturally a learler hut is too timicl to assert herself when hoys are present, hence she may never sit in the president's chair. Music hath ellarmeil her to expression through her helovetl piano or her mellow throat antl she is generous with her talent. Happy, learfl-working, generous Helen!

Skipp is one of the inemhers of the class who attends to his own husiness and lets others attend to theirs. But when it comes to hacking '26, he's right there with the goods.

It is at this tiine that he arouses all sleepy-heads as he leaves school with his 'lliinousineu and its heart-rending, nerve-racking self announcer. 926 I PAGE171
