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!

E Elwood is able to toot everything but his own horn. He is. without doubt the most industrious member of the class and his class record is as brilliant as Bill Farthing's hair. He says that hc is heartswhoie but his day dreaming seems to indicate worship elsewhere than in the pursuit of knowledge. He wants to goto college and we hope he makes lns mark but his excessive timidity may be in the way. HELEN LoL'isE 1'1UNTER ......

Our llelen is blessed with .1 loveliness and charm that might arouse the envy of that famous beauty of tradition, and regardless of what the task may be she always enters it with an unescclled spirit and force. Apparently the Fates have been with Helen. VVe hope for her in the future the same good fortune that she has had in lligh School. FRANU-is Ei.izA111-:TH JOHNSTON . . .

He is not only witty, for his remarks and quips are. always a source ot merriment to his fellow elassmen, but he is very good at many other things. To look at him, no one would think that he would like Latin, but he does and is a star pupil. Sometimes Frank says he wants to be either a naval engineer or a druggist., We can understand the wide difference in choice of professions be- cause Frank has many long suits, especially one Suitt of the class of '26.
