Such unity of spirit is enviable. To be a class president is anything but felicitous, though it is an honor, and Harold Schulze, Senior, has struggled manfully and nobly through his painful duties. The managing of the Senior class is a difficult matter, but he has come out clothed and in his right mind. One's heart is torn with sorrow and pity when one's glance happens to light upon the pale, feeble, and attenuated mortals known to fame as Gertrude Hewitt and VVinnifred Taylor, and one feels anger at the grind and cease- less application to study that has reduced them to their present condition. One hopes and prays that after June eighteenth their parents will fatten the lambs and give them a more substantial and comfortable appearance. Little Cupid Troutman is looking for a baby-tender that he may re-learn to walk, for he has lost that priceless faculty, and now descends the stairs in rolls and bumps, and in anything but an upright position. Not long ago he fell off the bench on the lawn and his howls cleft the firmament. Regularity and punctuality are great qualities, and Mildred Nevis and Elwood Poston possess these virtues in a great degree, for every afternoon, at four sharp, they may be seen sauntering homeward, always together, never one without the other. Paul Voss is extremely witty, i. e.: One day, in study hour, he was sud- denly and completely convulsed with grief to the great amazement of his neighbors, who curiously watched him cover up his well-loved physics with a handkerchief, pet it, comfort it, and weep over it. On inquiring they learned he had discovered that his book had an appendix and was suffering excruci- ating agonies with appendicitis. - VVho? Who ? 6.56 Thirty-six

Myl' Velma Dillard leads them a pretty dance. both figuratively and literally, and the young gentlemen run a most exciting race and nearly come to blows over who shall lead her to the next dance. The high school lawn is the haunt of those who sigh like furnaces and beat their breasts and are consumed with a love that passeth understanding. There it is that Elwood and Mildred, Velma and Clarence, Beatrice and Cecil, Elmer and Mildred, Howard and Agnes, have their whispered conndences and honest confessions. 'Haill the conquering hero comesf cry all the damsels when Harold Schulze, late the pride of the navy, approaches, for his ways are so winning, his conversation so charming and his manners so delightful that they all suc- cumb. Especially to be noted among his victories are the Junior and Senior girls. This school can boast of three colonial beauties in Lillian Sehlmeyer, Louise Elliot. and Celestine Richards, who, to the great delight of big bad boys that tease, and little had boys that pull, wear long and tempting curls over their shoulders. At the debating contest Nelmes Smith reminded one of a goat among sheep, as he was a poor lone little Freshman among three grave and reverend Seniors, sitting in all their might and glory on the platform. However, he seemed not a whit abashed and held his own with honor.
