SENIOR CLASS GORDON BUTTON .. .. ......... President EMILY KOEHLER .. HE world with all its subtle mysteries lies before us. Are we, the members of the Class of 1923, prepared to face Life, and yet come out of the battle with the respect and admiration of our fellow men? It would seem so, for, during that period of our lives spent within the portals of our beloved li. O. H.
